yes, german has a very weird way of writing numbers, where . is replaced by , and , is replaced by .

So, in US numbers, that would be EUR 274,091,361.75

It has confused many people already. It should be made more consistent internationally. I propose all use the US format of 274,091,361.75 because that’s already used in programming and so it’s widespread.

To give a bit of technical details, the hardware must have a feature to destroy encryption keys for user data whenever a new OS is installed on it; and you have to be able to install a new OS on it at all.

Like, today, many smartphones have the problem that you can’t install a new OS on them at all, because the bootloader doesn’t allow it. Meanwhile PCs have a different problem, where they do allow installing new OS, but the user data is typically not encrypted and so you can just boot linux from a USB device and read all contents on the internal disk.

The best solution might be to encrypt all userdata, store the keys in the bootloader on the device, but when a new OS is loaded/installed, the bootloader doesn’t give out the keys so the userdata can’t be decrypted.

sry i didn’t intend to be mean 😅 have a nice day too!

plus it can lift off all by itself. so if it wants to go on a multi-day journey, it doesn’t have to ask a passer-by to lift it up and throw it into the air to get it going.

that’s what a bot would say 🧐️

for the uninitiated

i want this to be false.

it would be animal abuse

you know, we had a way of transporting horses way back in time; it was called “riding”. basically the horses have legs and they can walk … (/s)

:o yeah indeed

because people seem to think that you need to have big areas to generate meaningful amounts of energy. this proves that’s not the case.

yeah it’s really really fragile. they show it in the video, one of the panels broke because a cat stepped on it. obviously not very suited for real-world deployment.

however i do wonder why they use polycrystalline silicon and not just amorphous silicon? I mean 20% efficiency instead of 8% makes a difference but i did some rough maths and it could still work with amorphous silicon if you use the area on the drone better. But amorphous silicon has the advantage of making a very thin and flexible layer that doesn’t break easily. It’s essentially more like a flexible piece of cloth instead of a solid object. Maybe worth a consideration.

the thing is that the amount of power on that little patch of area is actually a lot; we just continue to underestimate it because it doesn’t feel like much. i mean, we stand under direct sunlight all day long and never feel like a train hits us. however, the amount of energy in the sunlight is quite a lot, we’re just very good at ignoring it.

I don’t really do drugs either, well maybe the occasional coffee 2x a week and weed and shrooms once every month/year but i don’t like having my senses blurred in any way. I also don’t live in the US today so that’s significant.

i would prefer SiO2 personally, also known as silicate. It has the most straightforward and boring mineral composition but a nice sheen and it clearly shows the other person values efficiency as much as i do.

They designate you as a “loyal dog of the company”. They symbolize a leash

yeah having the bread be mold-resistant is obviously kinda important. i wonder why it doesn’t spoil immediately when it’s laying around when it’s moist. idk i’m only guessing here but might it have to do with the baking process adding a kind of “coating” layer of dust around the bread? Like, we smoke meat to make it durable for a year, might be the baking doing something similar to the bread?

No, on the contrary,

how so?

it might be, but it still fits into the context. especially considering how peasants unintentionally might have been healthier simply due to their poverty, which might seem paradoxical.

a friend of mine brought me some self-made bread yesterday, and it was indeed moist, and i instantly loved it. i wish there’s more bread like that one. idk why industrial bread tastes differently.

might be that they intentionally dessicate it for hygienic reasons? i.e. i imagine a higher water content might make it spoil faster.
