Let me introduce you to the IBM TS4500. You are looking at around $2 per camera for an entire years worth of footage. A single tape library could store a years footage from over 850,000 cameras. Tell me you don't know about long term enterprise storage without telling me don't know. Off the top of my head to have that replicated at two sites for good measure, all in less than $10 million including a couple PB of disk cache.

It retains 85% of capacity after a mere 500 cycles? Can you imagine losing 15% capacity after only a couple of years of ownership? This might be useful in an Uninterruptible Power Supply, where you just charge it to 100% and it mostly stays there.

There's no mention of energy density either. So it's probably both too heavy and too large for EV usage.

Please do not pet the radioactive puppies of Chernobyl.

Upon approval.... Can't even get Google Chrome.

Australia is allegedly a 1st world country but coverage is generally abysmal. If you're not within 50km of a metropolitan area or 20km of a class 1 highway then you can forget about FM radio, mobile coverage... or landline telephones, council water and sewerage and even mostly electricity.

> I only ever swap over to bluetooth and stream from my phone when FM radio drops out

I presume that s from downloaded files? Certainly in the UK if you have lost FM coverage you have no chance in hell connecting to the mobile network lol.

> Dab exists but its expensive

The radios are not too expensive here but the good looking ones certainly are. Plus it is expensive for the stations too. It's way cheaper for them to be on FM or even AM. In fact on FM they can have a dirt cheap license for local broadcasts only, the local college has run an FM station here for years and only now are they considering local DAB.

This seems like something she went hunting for with foresight. I just can't wrap my mind around how this scenario happens. Like how do you even go searching for Facebook ads? Are their marketplace classified ads targeted? How does one notice they aren't being passively advertised to? Why would anyone use Facebook to search for insurance? What am I missing?

It's even worse now. iirc, they completely removed local accounts unless it's an enterprise license.

Does it still allow local accounts if you disable the network interface?

You'll spend more than 15 minutes trying to figure out how to install without having a Microsoft account. WHY? I don't need it, especially as I only ever use Windows in a VM on my Mac to verify Windows-specific parts of our software.

OMG... you are that guy. I always wondered who the guy who actually thought the nag alarm for your seatbelt was a good thing and also deliberately made it a pain in the ass to disable it.

The summary/article has the wrong order.

Soft landings: USSR United States China

Lunar rovers: USSR China

There are lots of other records of course, like first photo of the "dark" side, first human landing etc. But those are the two that India will add its name to with this lander/rover combo. It will be the first to the pole too.

In the last few years both Israeli and Japanese private companies have tried to soft land on the moon, both ending in failure. The first private soft landing is still up for grabs.

There's that, but there's also: 1. Many companies outright banned the use of it - it falls under copyright issues at my company and is an immediate term offense now. 2. I think people began to realize that it's not as useful as it seems beyond parlor tricks. I can definitely see the potential with these advanced LLMs in helping to write code, but the ways that they fail are pretty consistent.
