So instead of freezing operation until the consigned was worked out, they tried to bully their way to success. That's one way to do business.
As a passionate ex-LEGOer, I hope BAM is toast. LEGO now is not a company I care about due to their insane fixation on brands and collectibles rather than making children discover the world. But in that spirit, BAM has shown they're not even a good brand ambassador in this business setting.
> There is no place in all of Zürich to facility such a thing, you will blow out every window in the city at each launch.
While you're right, I'd be more sceptical due to politics. The people around Lake Zürich are up in arms over wind turbines. Even solar panels on mountain sides are too much (though that's hopefully less about noise.) I can't imagine the uproar if someone wanted to fire rocket engines regularly there.
Has TLS been an issue since ESP32? I know ESP8266 had to increase CPU speed to be able to do RSA without timing out the watchdog. Wonderful hack. Didn't think ESP32 had the same issue.
Even at the individual level, yes. I read somewhere recently, can't remember where, that the concept of "I" may have occurred as a consequence of developing the concept of "you", "us" and "them". So being able to have virtual humans in your brain inevitably makes you reserve one of them to represent yourself, and it starts to feel special.
No critical thinking at all in this article. So you take out the water and 50% of the lithium. You still haven't addressed what happens to the remaining NaCl, which was the main headline.
The headline should be "thing can extract lithium from sea water at 50% efficiency. It also produces potable water."
The potable water is the main product and lithium and other minerals are possible byproducts.
Assuming 55% extraction efficiency, the amount of lithium that can be produced is around 0.1 grams per ton of potable water.
Even by price, the lithium would bring less revenue than the potable water.
The amount of solid salt that this produces is many times less than the amount of liquid brine produced by other methods. Thus even storing it as waste is much simpler. Moreover, the salt may be useful for various purposes, even as table salt, assuming that the water had been properly filtered and treated before evaporation.
Well, salt may be less volume than brine. But the demand for table salt is pretty limited. Thus: Why pay for its disposal when you can discharge brine for free?
The simulators for running old operating systems must simulate correctly the entire IBM PC, with all its peripherals, not only the CPU.
QEMU simulates some peripherals, e.g. a certain video card, for which it hopes that any operating system that you install includes device drivers. This assumption is no longer true for very old operating systems, which may either lack device drivers or their device drivers may rely on some hardware behavior of the peripherals that is not implemented in QEMU.
Simulators like 86Box simulate an IBM PC clone at a much greater detail, but that is paid by being much slower, so they are not suitable for recent operating systems, which need faster CPUs.
RSIC-V based are probably the most widely available microcontrollers / dev boards, but they unfortunately don't have AES accelerators.
On the other hand, ChaCha20 (or ChaCha12) run great on them.
I don't follow. I haven't done an exhaustive search, but it seems all esp32, whether xtensa or riscv have AES accelerators. Not sure I've seen a modern 32 bit Arm MCU without it either.
Matter is hopefully changing it. It's a local first standard, based on IPv6 with security and provisioning in mind. BLE is used to give devices wifi or Thread credentials. Thread is a new protocol to replace ZigBee. Lower power using the same radio hardware. Ikeas new line is all Matter.
My one issue, while building a custom HA controller is... There's no standard for discovering the HA controller and have it join WiFi... So that will require an app. Just to do mDNS and TLS bootstrapping. Maybe I'll use a cloud relay and Web Bluetooth for it. Would relieve both issues and provisioning could happen in any browser supporting Bluetooth.
Z-Wave is tried and true, and works even without an available hub. I don't see the appeal to Matter from a professional standpoint.
It may have it's place in the consumer market, but with product financing from major adtech firms it is clear the ultimate incentives are different than that of the licensed Z-Wave revenue model.
