Yes, the space sucks. I'd spend significant money on a USB-C charger, but Bosch doesn't offer one and there's no third party vendors. One thing that might be of interest to you, depending on where you travel around might be t

Switzerland is complicated. They are not in the EU, but closely aligned and essentially bound to many of the EU rules and regulations via agreements. Whether that applies for warranty or not is not something I know, but it’s definitely poss

I've not tested this specific one, but the balloon tires you see nowadays (Schwalbe Big Ben/Big Apple or similar) provide a pretty good amount of suspension and handle well on rough surfaces. Small wheels will be an issue if you&#

I did run the math for our last extended bike tour and even that doesn’t really work out. We carried two pairs of 650Wh batteries for our cargo bikes and made around 60-90km per day. This used on average half a battery charge, so ~600Wh. Fo

I haven’t seen that screen either on multiple computers running Win 10, all of them with a TPM. Likely reason is that I’m running the pro and enterprise versions respectively which puts me in a different customer bucket.

German pilots also train with American nukes. You can’t just slap a nuke on a plane and treat it like any other bomb. And in peacetime, a jury rigged attachment loosing a bomb would be a publicity disaster:)

One reason that germany has selected the F35 as it’s next gen multirole aircraft is that it’s certified to carry US nuclear weapons. Other planes are theoretically capable of doing so, but would require adaptions and certification, increasi

The greens also pressured to install solar and wind as replacement, not coal and gas. They raised the issue of energy dependency early and constantly. It’s easy to blame them, but this is not what they asked for.

It’s often compared to the energy dependency from Russia, but fundamentally it’s different. China cutting off supplies would cut off installing new capacity and repairs to existing in plants. It would however not stop existing solar panels

The device is described as using a gyroscope to measure movement, so it would be independent of wheel diameter and grip. Gyroscopes still drift, so occasional calibration against an absolute position source is still required.

The calculation is not that simple, though. One expected effect is less car rides, which would require less car infrastructure and maintenance. That would also result in significant savings, car infrastructure is expensive.

It protects from exfiltrating the key, which is something. Because yes, the app could connect (if the key has been loaded, which is not guaranteed) but that’s something entirely different. Not saying it’s not a threat, but it’s a different

You can (and should) use ssh-agent/ssh-add to handle the key for you. It will still protect you against apps reading the key - ssh-agent only performs crypto operations on behalf of programs and will not hand out the private key.

You’d need a network level firewall for that - the OS can circumvent any firewall you run on your computer. That would imply that you’re unprotected once you leave your home network. The firewall would also need to inspect all network traff

I would consider setting a (high) limit for a password a good practice. No one wants an attacker to run a megabyte of password data through your slow password hash. It should be a limit that normal users never reach, but something like 100

Since this consumes electricity, the energy need could be filled by running the converter at peak hours for renewable energy, so effectively soak up excess energy to recover oil that's already out of the ground. Which would be a net wi

we always could - burning the plastic always was an option, and effectively happens in a lot of places (incinerator). Recycling into oil would give us the option to use it as input to either new plastic or other hydrocarbon based products.
