I say it's easy to make L2 street parking ubiquitous _anywhere_, not _everywhere_ all at once. Obviously taken in totality it's a massive undertaking, but you could say the same thing about streetlamps, or roads, or basically any

Maybe it's not your intention, but your comment seems to imply that it's too difficult to attempt because of how much copper would be involved. However, I suspect you wouldn't need to purchase all the copper up front. You

For private property it's easy and inexpensive to just install your own L2 charging. Even if you rent, it probably wouldn't be too hard to convince your landlord to let you pay for an L2 charger install if they already offer you p

But do you know of any country where getting legislation like this passed would be straightforward and apolitical? It's not that the can't do it, it's that it would be difficult to do and would require expenditure of politica

I'm not sure what the situation is in this case, but in the past there have been a lot of licenses which were sold under previous laws and/or previous government administrations that can't easily be _legally_ limited. As a re

That's an easy problem to solve, though. Lower-speed L2 charging could easily be made ubiquitous anywhere that street parking exists. Since the wattage demands are relatively low, it would not be too difficult to have L2 charging avail

Actually, I realized that much of my _music_ equipment falls into this category as well. My mixer is an early example of a MIDI-controllable analog mixer but since the MIDI protocol is still ubiquitous, it still fits right into my modern wo

I think there's something to be said about this in regards to consumer electronics as well. One of the oldest electronic devices that I still use on a daily basis is my ereader, which is a very early model. It simply does everything it

It's definitely not strong against the same breadth of attacks as a physical key, but I'd argue there's a place for something like this. This would still protect against phishing, which is probably the bigger risk for the ave

This makes me very glad that I switched my self-hosted password manager from Bitwarden to Vaultwarden. It implements the Bitwarden Server API so I can still use the same client applications. I strongly suspect that this new VC-funded Bitwar

The science is correct. I'm not aware of much application of it commercially as of yet, up until relatively recently the higher efficiency of the silicon PN junction process has made better use of the surface area. However, a major are

It's much harder to hide the fact that you have closed an account completely and much easier to put in a periodic check that the account still exists. The difficulty with ransomware is that—without object lock—you would need to check t

It's not a hardware limitation, but many vendors are still using AMD only in their budget SKUs and using Intel in their flagships. Since the AMD SKUs are aimed at a different price-point, they generally don't have higher end displ

It's not so much that there's a cheaper model, but Dirtywave releases a version of the firmware that will run on a standard Teensy 4.1. That means that you can get going for the cost of a teenst, an SD card and a micro-USB cable.
