Thanks for the informative explanation, much appreciated.

This one gave me pause, trying to figure out how. Found a discussion mentioning that your normal repair is turned off, so the radioactive damage over the years is cumulative, as in a single dose. However just the body's isotopes may be insuficient: "While this is true, that is not going to kill you in only 100 years. The human body only emits .01 mSv per year and it tasked ~4 Sv to give you dangerous radiation poisoning. ~(100,000x more) " ( https://www.reddit.com/r/scifi... )

The googles disagree with the low figure: "The statement is incorrect; the human body emits approximately 0.2 mSv per year from natural sources like Potassium-40 and Carbon-14, not 0.01 mSv. Natural background radiation, which includes the radiation from the human body, is on average about 2.4 mSv per year globally, though this can vary depending on location."

Even at the higher figure, it looks like it would take a couple millenia to get an LD50 dose.

... instead of tabloid. That was my recent experiment, with the excuse that I would finally be able to read PDF papers without panning around. Hardware is OK, with a matte screen, and the price was right - local retailer discounted it to the 300 EUR range including flip-case and pen.

It is a bit large and heavy, and it hasn't become a "daily driver", but I'm pleased with the use for PDFs and comics. I still haven't gotten around to exploring what can be done with the pen, or with bluetooth keyboard and mouse. It also has potential as a small TV for watching videos, but I don't do much of that. It's a good third leg of a triad with phone and e-ink reader.

Rings a bell - they could advertise "a river of more than a million books" ...

Teamed up with Rimac, which had the Nevera hyper EV

Can you, or a passing policeman, tell a legitimate digital license plate from something someone whipped up or bought from AliExpress?

I mean, why bother jailbreaking those if you can just use a substitute?

> BlackBerry will sell its Cylance assets to Arctic Wolf for $160 million in cash. BlackBerry will get ~$80 million at closing and the rest of the tranche a year later, along with roughly 5.5 million common shares in Arctic Wolf.

That was poorly worded: https://www.crn.com/news/secur...
> The acquisition is pegged at $160 million in cash, in addition to shares in privately held Arctic Wolf,

Shares today apparently at 7.68, so another 42 million at today's price, say about 200 total.

The AliExpress link supplied says not available, but the suggestions below include a valid page: https://www.aliexpress.com/ite...

Today it's 112,84€, free shipping and EU duties included - AliExpress got their thing together a couple of years ago, when the EU overhauled the customs process, and I never had any trouble, packages just show up. I think it's only above a few hundred euros that you can/have to deal with customs yourself.

> I'll take two MWh of sunlight to go then so I can use it at night,

2 MWh is more than the storage capacity of 20 Tesla Model S batteries (the Plaid tops out at 95 kwh). And charging them takes a lot of panel area: assuming 10 hours of continuous 1kWh/m2 insolation, it takes some 600 m2 of 33% efficient panels to harvest that much. That's a football field sized installation.

TFA mentioned a modest 1.5 kW panel with a 24V battery, probably capable of storing a few kWh (say 3 if it's a 120 Ah battery).

They seem to have an LED version now for sale: https://www.christiedigital.co...

After having both iPhone and Android, I used Nokia/MS phones with the Metro interface - the one with a single long page of variable-sized icons which were actually widgets.

Apart from a bit of a mess in the settings interface, the OS was actually quite pleasant to use, and I still miss some of the features these days. Also having three competitors in this space would be nice.
