Comment More waste. (Score 1) 178

For the same money, either design the things to be assembled on site from smaller road-worthy components.

Or just build a construction shop on-site that will be needed anyway when one of these huge blades inevitably needs to be repaired. Yes that's only practical for larger wind farms but the smaller farms won't have a runway either.

My Hybrid has a water cooled battery, it uses the same exact antifreeze as the gas engine but it's on a separate loop.

Just because Tesla does something doesn't mean every electrified vehicle does the same.

Also, common concentrated antifreeze is mostly glycol. Nothing new.

Comment E-Mail Was Never Secure (Score 1) 77

E-Mail has never been secure. So their emails were found, authorities were concerned (probably) that the "news" story would compromise an investigation, and Proton followed the law.

As others have noted, the email racket serves itself. A message from my Proton account was blocked by Outlook dot com, too much spam the denial message read.

If you want to send a secure message, stay within a VPN or other encrypted email provider, like Proton to another Proton account, or try text -> encrypt -> zip. Of course, your email client and AV might decide to block the zip and encrypted attachment, since it cannot be scanned.

I always thought it plain stupid that a car's center screen can be interacted with while the car is moving, it's counter productive to all these new distraction laws. There should be a lock-out, ideally when the car is not in park. If it safety devices need interaction while possibly moving, like say wipers or headlights PUT A DAMN BUTTON in the vehicle.
