I believe Mazda is the mainstream brand with the most recent botnet-free cars. Definitely double-check but I'm pretty sure they only started adding internet connectivity in the 2019 model year. They also emphasize physical controls, bu

Geothermal heat reservoirs are renewable but not unlimited: heat is taken out of the rock by the working fluid and results in "thermal drawdown" until heat is conducted from adjacent areas. I would assume this is worse for hot dry

Yes. Just think of how annoying it is when you have to wait 5 seconds instead of 0.5s for a 2FA message, then multiply that by everything that you ever do with your workflow engine. That's not even to speak of cases where running the w

The thing that the surface is radiating to is the cold blackness of outer space. This is why it feels colder on a cloudless day or night. As always, the technology is promising but I’ll only really believe it when I can buy it at Home Depot
