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.

You make a big mistake, the AI will understand you better than the majority of the HP customer service/tech support people, and what is said will be far easier to understand.

Considering how poorly HP has been doing on the innovation front, maybe it's time to get rid of those overpaid people who are running things into the ground. It would save more money than all of these layoffs.

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.

Funny you should mention badge removal: Chinese manufacturers will send out response teams to remove logos and badges from EVs that catch fire in mainland China.

Which is fine, because we have non-Chinese influenced EV data as well. China exports a lot of their EVs to Europe and Australia, so if they had a habit of catching fire, we'd know about it.

And starting in January 1, 2026, China would require an export permit to prevent exporting low quality EVs, the sale of such has brought down their reputation (see a recent French EV crash test of a Chinese EV which was miserable compared to other EVs).

So if they're keeping the crap for themselves and exporting the good cars, we all benefit.

The BYD Dolphin, which is among the smallest and cheapest EVs you can buy (except in North America) reviews quite favorably - https://arstechnica.com/cars/2...

It's not flashy, it's not fun, it's an EV that'll get you around town like any other car.

What conflict of interest? DCar Studio has money and wants advertising, the influencer wants money and can provide advertising. I see an alignment of interests, not a conflict.

The illusion of intelligence evaporates if you use these systems for more than a few minutes.

Using AI effectively requires, ironically, advanced thinking skills and abilities. It's not going to make stupid people as smart as smart people, it's going to make smart people smarter and stupid people stupider. If you can't outthink the AI, there's no place for you.

DVD-R? DVD+R? DVD+RW? Single or dual layer? Gold metallic layer? Silver metallic layer? How are they stored?

Depending on how you answer those questions, your 25 year-old media may be past due and you've just gotten lucky, may be just entering the timeframe where it may die, or may have decades of reliable life left.

DVD-R single layer disks with a gold metallic layer are good for 50-100 years. Other recordable DVD options are less durable, some as little as 5-10 years.
