Plus wood for building is NOT a permanent carbon storage mechanism. You would need to entomb that wood deep underground where it cannot decay.

Ouch - yes I was torn if i wanted to mention that. 10 years isn't cutting it they announced it as the next feature in 2005/6

I tried Total Commander while I was still using Windows but in the end settled on Servant Salamander (later renamed to Altap Salamander). Somehow I liked it better haptically than Total Commander at the time. Sadly development of it stopped

the best bang for buck board right now is the esp32-s2 based s2 mini. Its great for doing anything usb attached (keyboard, gamepads, mice, anything really). Its about 2,50EUR at its cheapest including shipping without PSRAM and 2,60 with ps

I don't like this type of down-cycling - while this is good because it double-uses a single use thing extending the use of the material to another cycle this is bad because it is sold as recycling to the consumer (on the milk bottle si

I am sure they will come out with a lightning plug based aGPU standard soon :P

Well they got slapped for including IE forcible by the EU and there was never an App Store like that over XPs lifetime to my knowledge? Also you could quite easily replace the whole Shell. Sadly not anymore if you do that now stuff you nee

I actually have a commercial version of an engine like that :) A wilesco D2 - https://www.wilesco.de/en/steam-engines/stationary-steam-eng... Its mostly a deskoration. I took it apart and it has the sliding block

I agree - takes almost 3 times as long than with an ICE. It might be interesting to people that if you buy early enough the prices get stupidly cheap. I bought a ticket in march for May and the ticket for a Nuremberg - Frankfurt ICE would h

by blkhawk 3y ago
to even list the price as a primary factor is also bad - you need to list how much carbon is created by your method for each unit of carbon you capture. This probably has to be based on the average carbon cost for energy a the location you

To lie you need to have control of the TPM or trick it somehow - otherwise the remote service will know you are a liar. This is still possible on Android for instance but it gets more and more difficult - I have a health tacking app that c

Just because people are "good and decent" doesn't mean that the outcomes they support are thus. As for facts even without the recent "alternate facts" the truth is you can easily come to radically different conclusi

yes - you can walk. there are no borders in the way that would stop you. Also "no money" might mean some but very little money - enough for a bus ticket - some municipalities also solve the homeless issue by just putting them on a

I have had a self-build CO2 monitor for several years now and I find the airplane example Surprising. AFAIK the air in a Plane is cycled out too fast for that amount to develop. Maybe the Lower air pressure was the cause? Since it was porta

The reason for that is because in sleep states what the MCU needs is only a small part of the whole - stuff like LDOs and DCDC converters also need some current and sometimes other chips are directly connected and take some power even when

So this uses a ground loop heatpump? I am surprised its the first ever since that heatpump style isn't too uncommon.

by blkhawk 3y ago
Short answer: no. long answer: while solar is actually the best indoor energy harvesting solution its still in nA land. This uses 56µA for the DCDC alone. that means you would need at least 1mA for maybe an hour to just keep that going with

As cool as space elevators are - I wish all the other "easier" to build options would be more mainsteam. Say orbital hooks or maybe some of the more sedate active support structures like orbital rings or lauch loop variants.

I just checked - the panel on my toy system faces directly east but only gets about 2ish hours of non-optimal light a day (between 10ish and 12ish - after that there are chimney shadows) due to houses being in the way. This is peak in summe

in flat country with no trees and other houses around yes. all it takes is a shadow and you might get more power in the afternoon from the white wall of a house across the street.

yes - my small inverter was 30EUR - its only capable of delivering about 180W. That was a significant portion of the total system cost for my toy system (with a 180W panel).

I run a similar toy system with a 180w panel and it makes about 110wh a day on an average from march to October - due to a similar bad position the monitoring plug would use more power than the panel makes the rest of the year :P It runs an

Good, I think that is somewhat of a feature - It serves as a bit of a moat to people who would hurt themself in their confusion. This might sound a bit harsh but Microsoft actively cultivated a type of user I would call "long time novi
