Theoretically, but in practice SMRs won't be useful for that. They still need a large and robust containment building, and nuclear grade security around it. They need a cooling pool or guaranteed supply of water.

A more practical idea for small fossil fuel stations is to turn them into spinning mass, to help provide inertia and a bit of energy storage. Or turn the site into a battery.

Automated but they have options for manual control and setting parameters of the autopilot. The window helps them be sure it is working as expected, and that instruments match what they can see. It's also very useful when they land.

They will just throw Rolls Royce some money to muck about with SMRs, before realizing what everyone already knows - they aren't better than traditional reactors, and nuclear in general is the most expensive form of energy we have.

Naturally the taxpayer and consumers will be on the hook for all this.

European standards do also award points for simply having certain safety systems installed. The top 5 star ranking is only available if the car has certain systems and they are enabled by default every time the car is started.

If that was the case then a) why would they go to American influences when the cars aren't even sold there, and b) why aren't the American companies doing it too?

They are just really good cars, and the fact that Americans can't buy them makes for some good rage-bait engagement.

It's not a solution for non-technical people, but can you use Cloudflare Zero Trust or similar for Plex?

I have my own Subsonic music server at home, using Navidrome. I set up Cloudflare Zero Trust so I can access it remotely via the web, with a secure Google login in front of it. You can use other authentication methods, it doesn't have to be Google. Passwords, 2FA, certificates, other providers.

For desktop, any browser works. For mobile I use Symfonium. It's not free, it's a cheap one-time purchase, but it works great with that set-up and means I can stream my music anywhere, without the need for a VPN.

They seem to have bought into the SMR hype, despite nobody having even demonstrated a viable prototype commercial design yet.

They need to be able to see outside, and glass is the most reliable way to facilitate that.

Interesting. I can shoot raw directly to my Android internal storage, although it isn't fast enough for 4k60 10 bit without compression.

What's changed is that in the early days flash memory was one bit per cell. Now most consumer grade stuff is multi level, so instead of a single threshold voltage that separates a 1 from a 0, there are multiple thresholds that each represent a different binary code.

SSDs sometimes have to re-read blocks with different voltage thresholds to get good data, and make use of error correction on top.

Presumably age related degradation is worse for multi-level flash.

Twitter used to do this with the verified badges, but then Elon started selling them and they became the mark of someone stupid enough to give him money for a blue tick.

It's not a bad idea in principle. A simple cryptographic certificate that government agencies can use to validate their messages. The hardest part will be the UI. Making sure it is clear and not easily spoofed.

Indeed, I've lost count of how many attempts this has been now.

I'm guessing it's mostly due to add-ons installed by third party software. There are APIs that let third party stuff hook into Explorer, and the current situation is an absolute shit-show. Because there are so many old and broken ones, Explorer loads them to see if they crash, and if they do it loads them again in compatibility mode, and if they still crash it gives up. Once loaded there are no limits on how slow they are to start up or operate.

Thanks. That link seems to suggest that you can only import data from external storage, not export to it. Is that right? Major limitation if so.

It's like something from that Captain Planet cartoon, or an 80s movie sci-fi dystopia.
