No, you are wrong about this. See: https://technophilosoph.com/en/2025/02/07/ai-prompts-and-out... If you have a more recent citation referring to case law that states the opposite then that would be gre

Because you'd have to have engineered the whole thing for that purpose right from the get go. In theory you can run the generators in reverse and push water up the hill into the basin. In practice this may not work for a multitude of r

Perfect - I have removed all of them. Once again, I apologize I should have been more careful. I've also erased the database and the email server on the off chance that any trace of this remained there. And no need to worry about the b

That's fair. It's just that I have seen some hobbyists doing the most insane stuff and eventually getting it to work. Some HAMs for instance have pretty extreme skills and it is not their profession, they just do it because they l

The capacitor has a self inductance. That's why you use low self inductance capacitors with very short leads or traces in this role. 100 nF ceramics are fine, but you may actually need a 100 nF and a 10 nF side-by-side because of that

Ah, but that may well be because of your scope probe's leads! The sharper the edge the more likely that will happen. That's what those shitty little springs are for that come with your scope probe: you disconnect the ground wire a

To fix the internet, we had to destroy it first. There is no way these guys don't know exactly what they are doing. It's the spam thing all over again, but on a 100x worse scale. Cue PG with an essay 'A plan for AI'. Exc

Wow. Thank you.

Oh, absolutely. But the general idea here is that just because it can be done without inconveniencing you should not really make a difference: there were no such things as databases and remote monitoring in those days unless you want to equ
