First of all, as your article shows, batteries rarely need replacement at all, even at very high mileage. And those are old vehicles, battery management and cell chemistry are much better now. And when they do, it's usually just a few

And even those those ancient luxury cars can often be repaired by a third-party shop like EVClinic. There aren't many 10+ year old EVs yet, and demand is limited. This is changing, and EVClinic will be the first of many aftermarket EV

Battery swapping is a dead technology, it is simply not economical. It is too expensive, much harder to scale and incompatible with cell-to-chassis designs. Industry barely managed to agree on a charging connector! Meanwhile, battery longev

The minimum capital requirement is the whole point of a GmbH. If you don't want it, you can found a UG, which is the same thing with no capital requirement.

Radon and its progenitors won't produce nearly enough radiation to damage plastics like that at naturally occurring levels.

If Kernel Lockdown is enabled, a zero-day exploit is required to bypass module restrictions without a reboot. Unfortunately, threat actors tend to have a stash of them and the initial entry vector often involves one (container or browser sa

Red teams (internal or consultants) use this sort of tooling in the real world. Their job is to emulate a real, competent threat actor. APTs routinely use high-quality rootkits for EDR evasion. Persistence is actually quite rare nowadays -

Is there a paper or some other architecture document for dsync? It's really hard to solve this problem without a consensus algorithm in a way that doesn't sacrifice something (usually correctness in edge cases/network parti

RustFS appears to be very early-stage with no real distributed systems architecture: https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs/pull/884 I'm not sure if it even has any sort of cluster consensus algorithm? I can&#

Great, so this means that the only way to get an Android release that's up-to-date on security patches is a binary-only distro - either Google Pixel, or the GrapheneOS preview channel. Just wonderful. Google should know better than thi

It's just poor risk management at this point. Making sure that a configuration change doesn't crash the production service shouldn't take more than a few seconds in a well-engineered system even if you're not doing stage

If there is a proper rollout procedure that would've caught this, and they bypass it for routine WAF configuration changes, they might as well not have one.

They don't appear to have a rollout procedure for some of their globally replicated application state. They had a number of major outages over the past years which all had the same root cause of "a global config change exposed a

Ceph is quite expensive in terms of resource usage, but it is robust and battle-tested. RustFS is very new, very much a work in progress[1], and will probably eat your data. If you're looking for something that won't eat your data

When you want just the API for compatibility, I guess? Self-hosted S3 clones with actual durability guarantees exist, but the only properly engineered open source choices are Ceph + radosgw (single-region, though) or Garage (global replicat

Shipping updates almost weekly is the opposite of what I want for a complex, mission-critical distributed system. Building a production-ready S3 replacement requires careful, deliberate and rigorous engineering work (which is what Garage is

It's certainly not the case for Google Drive, which is geo-replicated, and I would be very surprised if it's true for any other major cloud.
