So, you say that smoother braking (engine braking) causes more wear on tires than harsher braking (applying brakes)?

How so?

Indeed it adds up, over ten thousand kilometers, to a lot less wear than the equivalent coast-then-hit-the-brakes in an ICE. If I follow your reasoning correctly.

It hovers depending on how my foot modulates the speed. I don't want or need "exactly zero power readout", I only need to reach my target speed at my target spot on the highway, without having to action the physical brakes at any time.

Whether that is more or less efficient than a zero-power coast followed by some kind of braking exactly at the end... I assume the difference is so tiny that it makes no difference.

If you park in the street, and there are public chargers in a 1-km radius around your apartment, you can probably make it by "topping-up" every two or three days on a public charger.

Unless you spend upwards of 40% of your battery daily, you'll be good.

If you own a parking spot in your apartment complex, and depending on your jurisdiction, you can install your own charger.

Very true, to the point that I am considering asking the city council to forbid ICE in a 1-km radius around places where children regularly use the sidewalks.

Even if the idea doesn't outright gain traction, enough insistence will shift the overton window.

People driving an EV learn, in a matter of minutes, to coast by just applying the right amount of pressure on the "gas" pedal.

What you state is provably wrong. Consent and objection to legitimate interest are two different things, in the eyes of GDPR, and are managed separately in privacy banners:

Navigate to a website of your choice [1]. Let's assume its privacy banner is served by onetrust.

The text at the top of their "Privacy Center" says, verbatim, "We share this information with our partners on the basis of consent and legitimate interest. You may exercise your right to consent or object to a legitimate interest"

If you then unfold the "Manage Consent Preferences" you will notice that you can, _separately_, provide your consent for a given purpose, by sliding the switch to the right to enable it, and also, _at the same time_, "Object to Legitimate Interests" by clicking on the button labeled so.

Of course, this is a dark pattern to make it as cumbersome as possible to object to Legitimate Interest purposes.

The reports on the Iberian outage point out that, if solar/wind had been allowed to help, the outage could have been prevented.

The outage was never about renewables, it was caused by bad dispatch of reactive power.

I was the first to state that, contrary to popular belief, "the quick brown fox did not jump over the fence"

It is now confirmed that the cause of the accident was the welding on rail track number 23117.

One possible scenario is that the tracks fail in a way that causes one of the trains to derail and hit the other one.

In point number 3, you state that one of the trains caused the accident, whereas the cause of the accident is not yet known and could be for example an issue in the rails themselves.

Your interpretation does not match GDPR. I suggest you read the link in the post you replied to.

The cookie banners are routinely used to object to "legitimate interest" uses and the corresponding sites continue to work normally, not sure what your alternate understanding is based on.

How do you object to the site's legitimate interest use of your personal data? That is a legal grounds for processing, which can be enabled by default as long as you are provided with an option to actively object.

In a similar vein, someone decided that everyone should have subdirectories under home named "Pictures", "Videos", "Music", "Documents", …

> SkyVM is multi-tenant with hardware-level network isolation.

Does this mean a guy is running new separate physical wires every time a new tenant joins?

800 W is que conservative for a schucko plug, which is typically rated for 13 or 16 A (>3000 W). I regularly charge the car at 10 amps (2400 W) on a schucko.

Plumbing together stuff so that the files from a service that can only push to sftp server end up delivered in a Dropbox folder.

The Iberian outage had nothing to do with inertia.

The root cause was insufficient dispatch of reactive power due to non compliance of some power providers, and ultimately traceable to outdated procedures for the dispatch of reactive power.

It's called "the world wide web" and it works on the principle that a webpage served by computer A can contain links that point to other pages served by computer B.

Whether that principle should have been sustained in the special case of "B = localhost" is a valid question. I think the consensus from the past 40 years has been "yes", probably based on the amount of unknown failure possibilities if the default was reversed to "no".

Don't waste your time and money on funding bug bounties or "getting audits done". Your staff will add another big security flaw just the next day, back to square one.

Spend that money in reorganizing your management and training your staff so that everyone in your company is onboard with https://owasp.org/Top10/2025/A06_2025-Insecure_Design/ .

I don't understand what is being encouraged here.

Something is seriously wrong when we say "hey, respect!" to a company who develops an unauthenticated RCE feature that should glaringly shine [0] during any internal security analysis, on software that they are licensing in exchange for money [1], and then fumble and drop the ball on security reports when someone does their due diligence for them.

If this company wants to earn any respect, they need at least to publish their post-mortem about how their software development practices allowed such a serious issue to reach shipping.

This should come as a given, especially seeing that this company already works on software related to security (OpenAuth [2]).

Wait, they implemented Alt-Drag/Right drag?

Probably because people are being forced out of their Windows 10 systems, and onto an unwanted Windows 11.

Also, you seem to skip other notable changes like enforced spam and enforced Copilot and enforced online registration.

Indeed. Up until the user-hostile turn of Windows 10 and 11.

This being Microsoft, the null hypothesis is "user error induced by intentionally evil UX".

Feature request: even/odd page stains that line up exactly as a single thru-stain.

And if I am not searching for Salesforce or alternatives, and an ad for Salesforce or an alternative gets pushed into my face, the ad is wrong and the advertiser is wrong.

Title should mention (2024). Some of the info was already outdated back then [1]
