Germany is doing something with electrified truck lanes on the highway. The trucks get charged through a pantograph as they're travelling.

It's like a gambling addiction. All the apps have been designed and tweaked with user engagement metrics to ensure they are as addictive as possible and if the app fails it will be forgotten as users engage more with another more addic

Reading these stories makes me love my shitty old 16 year old Civic. It's modern enough to have cruise control, AC and a fairly decent engine. But not so modern that reliability is compromised in the name of fuel economy and it's

Goldilocks went inside the Git Hut. First she inspected the git repo of the great, huge bear, and that was 2TB which was far too large and monolithic for her. And then she tasted the 281 repos of the middle bear, and they were fa

The moralizing is a bit pointless since every big tech company is trying to monopolize and lock-in users as much as possible. It's just the old blitzscaling enshitification cycle. They have deep enough pockets to subsidize the cost unt

I've had the same with my word game. People will report a bug and then I find out they are on some ad-ridden copycat. For my app it's reached multiple levels. One of the app thieves has embeded another app thief. https:/&#x

It's probably because they're so small, integrated and installed in confined insulated spaces. My house is 5 years old and I've never had an LED light break. The hardware I have is split into the LEDs (bigger ones with a heat
