But the web can change, to allow all kinds of online applications, running in a sandbox, so no one has to install anything, but can play games, write emails, share and edit images or whatever - all in the browser in one language. Ok, we mig

When I am travelling, I have limited charging capabilities and want to continue working wherever I left - even if I did not open the laptop for 2 days. That only leaves hibernation. I had a linux laptop that could do that reliable, but for

Well, here they also don't know, but if a break in happens, they might check the lock and refuse to pay if it does not meet a minimum standard.

Yeah, I have the same problem with some old locks. Impossible to get a copy for a key, because it does not meet some modern standard.

Erm, maybe the locks in germany(europe) are different - but what you describe I only know from very old or cheap locks, no one would use for a front door (insurance would not accept that).

The author is saying his project has only use after a collaps. I doubt this project will be useful after a collapse, if no one can make use of it today.

"This could be immediately useful for them." That's the thing: there are already many hackers and makers working on all kinds of ways to reuse old electronic. If they cannot really use this now - who can after a collaps?

Yes, but adventure and wilderness is en vogue and I don't have any numbers, but I think the people trying out the wilderness is way higher than 50 years ago. In general I think it is a good thing, but the wilderness is not a wild park.
