TFS says the vape would use Bluetooth to connect with the phone/app. The vape won't work w/o the app, so they'd build any extra functionality into the app, like ads, tracking and geo-fencing. See my other post Why stop there?

If the vape is going to be app-locked, then the app can be (a) tracked and (b) geo-fenced. Establishments/locations can post if they allow vaping and the (nanny) app can track where you are and disable the vape if it's prohibited. Marketing bonus: The app will probably be running a lot, so the data it could collect could be HUGE. /s

If you install a balcony solar system and it produces more energy than you are using at the time the energy you are putting back into the grid is counted as energy consumed and you end up being billed for it.
In what country is it legal to sell such balcony solar systems?
And what country has such odd meters that flow into the wrong direction makes it count the same as the right direction?

Sorry, that does not make any sense at all.

In general if solar panels are put on land, they are put so that agriculture is still possible. The simplest is gassing cattle. More complex is agrivoltaics, see for example: https://www.nature.com/article...
Of course there are exceptions. In the EU we had plans to reduce the amount of land used for agriculture. For some stupid reason, the EU demanded that such land that got repurposed can not secretly still be used for agriculture, so plenty of farmers put low mounted solar panels on it.
Some of them did that close to rail tracks, as there was a second pot of subsidies covering installations (of what ever) along rail tracks.
The very little win : win of that is, that usually the power gets feed directly into the rail overhead line. Note: German Railway has its own grid, with its own frequency.

Okay, then please make a list in your mind, what all has to be done to what kind of quality standard, when you install a 100MW solar plant.

Hint ... having 4 human mules carrying a $500 panel per piece around: is not the main factor of manual labour.

The robot can very well work on parking lots, and with minimal adaption on flat industrial roof tops.

Your parent is just a troll, with typical troll questions, to make him look interesting.

In my eyes he just looks dumb. He could visit the web site of the corporation producing the robot, and ask for a quote ...

The UK actually has a king, by design; the US not so much.

Topics that do not have much to do with each other at the moment.

Probably humanoid robots, it's already happening in China:

It will cure cancer. In combination with robotics it will make personalized cancer treatments based each person's tumor genome. Basically once you have a few biopsies of a person's cancer, you can determine what proteins, DNA, and RNA are aberrant and design a treatment against that.

... as long as they don't store it in a Vatican basement. :-)

Zero crashes on my Macs since 10 years or more.
5 blue screens on my Windows 11 acer last 28months.
Minimum 10 times "windows discovered a problem, and needs to reboot now", often by two or even three reboots in a row.
Not even telling what the problem is ... might be ... could be.

How do you come to 10x when you have on one side zero crashes and on the other side 2 dozens, depending how you count ... well, I guess someone rounded zero up to 2, or something.

Well, when I read it was all pounds, in Europe, I wondered how much that is in kg. As I am lazy, I just divided by 2 ... but the result was a kind of odd number, so I lost a few bits of accuracy.

Then, considering that this is at the Swizz and German border, I wondered if they used forced workers, like the many refugees to get the container on the truck!

I am relieved to read, they used a crane!!

Now I only have to figure what exactly -half a thousand degrees Fahrenheit is. I guess I can google for an AI to find that out.

They created fusion.
At least they claim so.
It is clear from the article.

And they are not the only ones. We have plenty of definitely non scam fusion companies that do fusion.

The question is will it once be commercial viable.
