Power density is irrelevant in a traction application when the size is determined by the energy density.
The extra weight could matter since it is already a problem with lithium batteries.
Also, there can be word-trickery here. It is possible things can be claimed to be "end-to-end encrypted" and yet still have ways for the mothership to decrypt anything at will (by having intentional secret holes/weaknesses, by storing your or another key, or a method they can pull the key from your device through their own control over the app, or by having master keys present at the start). I think that would be a misuse of the term "end-to-end encryption", yet term use/definitions mutate all the time. Anyway this can backfire spectacularly if discovered and lead to a lot of legal issues- if they had denied law enforcement/courts access in the past with the excuse that they can't decrypt it and then it is discovered they could.
I suspect that is what is going on; the traffic is end-to-end encrypted, but the session keys are also made available to Whatsapp, probably by being encrypted with Whatsapp's public key. So there is practically no security despite being "end-to-end" encrypted. It is Clipper for a new generation.
It seems like double/triple dipping.
Cross license with Intel/AMD and get paid per cpu sold.
Cross License with Microsoft and get paid per windows copy sold for the software decode.
And criss license with all of the OEM hardware makers and get paid yet again for each machine sold that can decode in hw.
Great for Nokia to double and triple dip and get paid 3 times for the exact same users. This really indicates we have a royally screwed up patent system.
I do not know that Intel/AMD, Microsoft, and the OEM hardware makers all license the same patents.
Under the doctrine [patent exhaustion doctrine], once an authorized sale of a patented article occurs, the patent holder's exclusive rights to control the use and sale of that article are said to be "exhausted," and the purchaser is free to use or resell that article without further restraint from patent law.
Neither HP nor Dell actually made these encoders in these devices. They are made by Intel and part of the iGPU. If anyone has license concerns it's Intel.
My understanding is that the hardware does not implement HEVC/H.265, but instead implements primitives which can be used to accelerate it.
Yes, but "caught fire and DETACHED" points at something considerably worse than a compressor issue.
It points to turbine failure, including compressor failure. The engine is mounted to the wing structure using shear bolts so that if the turbine seizes, the torque breaks the engine free without destroying the wing structure, which appears to be exactly what happened.
There are countless sedans and coupes that are nice and capable conveyances. That doesn't explain people buying oversized pickups.
For myself, I bought a pickup because it is easier to repair and maintain. Changing the front headlights takes maybe 15 minutes, unlike say a Ford Fusion sedan where the entire front of the vehicle must be removed. Doing my own oil change does not take much longer.
The pickup truck market is distorted by federal regulations such that making smaller pickups is basically illegal.
When my 2002 S-10 was discontinued in 2003 or 2004, it was replaced by basically the same vehicle, but 500 pounds heavier and slightly larger to meet EPA requirements, and that has continued since so now my 2002 S-10 looks tiny compared to today's smallest new pickups.
I still have my 2002 S-10 but it is in good shape because I had to leave it in storage for many years. The smallest new trucks are huge compared to mine.
Let Big Tech build the data centers anywhere, but don't jack up the prices that average people pay for electricity. Put the burden back on them.
That is the political solution which ignores economics and created the current dilemma, but sure, let's repeat what failed before. Maybe it will work this time.
Next you will be claiming that the right don't intend violence and want to solve problems peacefully.
The guy who advocated solving problems peacefully through discussion got shot or something.
Or just attach a hub to the switch.
I have an old Netgear DS104 dual speed hub for exactly that sort of thing. It was very useful in the past for diagnosing network issues, but there are no Gigabit hubs that I am aware of.
What are the environmental costs of vaporizing satellites and other components in the atmosphere? The main plan seems to be to let them deorbit or encourage that somehow. Or blast them with lasers. What's that do to the ozone layer? Where's the toxic pollutants go?
What are the environmental costs of 48.5 tons of meteoritic material entering the atmosphere every day? What does that do to the ozone layer? Where do the toxic pollutants go?
Never page out the page in handler.
This reminds me of the movie Independence Day where Will Smith wakes up when the ground shakes and tells his wife there's an earthquake only for her to reply "It's not even a four pointer, go back to sleep".
I was bemused, if the earth moved even slightly where I live I'd be freaking the fuck out!
I had that happen to me several times when I lived in Southern California. It is a real thing to just go back to bed and plan on reading about it in the news in the morning.
When I lived in Missouri, I took tornado warnings much more seriously.
My cat rips open the belly and eats the liver. I think she leaves the body as a warning.
