Eleven years ago I got four yubikeys, two pairs as recommended by Yubico. One pair for personal use and one for work. I tested the personal key pair first. The primary yubikey I had on my (physical) keyring failed spontaneously after less t

Yes. If we were spending 5% of global GDP on Solar and Wind now , there'd be a slim chance. Scaling up to that in six years, as a sibling comment claims, is way too late.

Well, it's a few more cents on the bill of materials and some PCB real estate, and constrains the enclosure form factor. Ethernet ports have a transformer (or some other kind of electrical isolation) inside as well, from memory. Making

The "actions" so far, such as subsidies for purchasing new EVs and feed-in tariffs for home PV installations, are government transfers to the already well-off. Essentially bribing those most likely to vote, while making them feel

Performance isn't the problem. Cost is. Every time I do the calcs it takes more than ten years for the extra cost of an EV over a roughly equivalent ICEV to be recouped in my situation (which admittedly is fairly low mileage). And tha
