"Trust" would sound nice, but it contains "rust" so it might have given an attack surface for a trademark infringement lawsuit by some un-t-rust-able foundation.

Different sodium based battery technologies have existed for quite a while (much longer than lithium based batteries actually), and research as well. And there were already a couple niches where some of them managed to establish some footho

depends by what measure… if it's just about how much lithium is theoretically estimated to exist in the earth crust, then one could twist together an argument for lithium to be somewhat "abundant" (even though even by that me

Maybe the next big disruption is not about making better batteries based on Li (Lithium) but to ditch Li for most mass use purposes and go with a different material, e.g. Na (Natrium, vulgar name: Sodium)… which unlike lithium is extremely

Using rtklib like that with ublox modules was actually the common norm for affordable precision enhancement on a single band at the time of the ublox M8 family, before the era of dual band modules (such as the ublox F9 family), because you

is it possible to use it to reach centimeter-precision with dual-band RTK like with two (base+rover) integrated dual-band GNSS RTK modules (e.g. ublox F9P or Skytraq PX1122R)? I mean, your first link seems to show a config example for 1575.
