generally when two satellites collide some debris can be shot at a higher orbit which will take forever (or will not) reenter atmosphere. See the scatterplot of debris for the Chinese collision test of 2000: https://en.wikipedia.

I don't think the problem is how to update: it's easy enough in the interface, it just works. The problem is whether after the upgrade you suddenly don't see the heater anymore, or another device stops working.

I love Home Assistant. I only started using less than a month ago (moved into a new house). However, the two times i needed to upgrade Core (I use Home Assistant OS, their recommended installation procedure), it broke. The first time they h

I use what they recommend: I installed Home Assistant Operating System on a Raspberry PI 3. Which still means there's an OS and there's HA Core. > Home Assistant Operating System: Minimal Operating System optimized to power Hom

I've only recently (less than a month ago) started to use HA and I have polar opposite impression from you. I gave up on updating because the 2 times i updated the HA Core package and the OS most of my integrations broke. The first tim

I think most of the comments here right now are missing the point of OP's post. It's not about one thing in particular (cookie consent), just that the whole ordeal is full of ads and popups (one of which is the cookie consent popu

As far as I understand, LLMs with 95% correct answers are much more useful than a car that doesn't crash 95% of times (if you need to pay attention to correct mistakes, you may well be driving). A 95% correct LLM might be utter garbage

Why do you think an investigation has to be done on devices available to the public? Prototypes exists.

I would phrase it that open source is just about the license of code, not about anything else, and definitely not about how changes are applied to such code. Usually, it just practically means that you are allowed to make changes and redist

Each country has their own system. in NL we had DigID, and apparently now iDin (first time i hear about it). In Italy we have SPID who uses a bunch of external providers (phone companies, italian posts, internet providers, ...). The whole i

keep in mind that machines like those are so complex that you don't simply buy them and install them. It's more like getting custom-made artisanal goods: each machine has a "father/mother" from its 'conception&

As a person whose first job after graduation was at ASML, and left after 6 months, if you like software I don't think it's the best company to work at.

The issue is that whether a VPN is reputable is hard to gauge and not fixed in time. Take IVPN from example: from what I gather they are among the most reputable. They haven't fucked up yet (a-la Nord VPN), they support and fund anti-c

I'm not so sure about your argument: the usual argument against a VPN is that you are trusting effectively somebody else's computer. They can have all the business incentives in the world, but we know that some states go knocking
