More and more it feels like they are going the wrong way with this. You could get a real desktop computer for the price of this little board, which would be many times faster and responsive. On the other hand, it's power consumption, heat dissipation and price raises eyebrows for the "edge...

Not sure i agree with the latter, on both sides of the metaphor. Bad documentation could be actively confusing and rather sad, to the point of preferring to take thing into your own hands.

Yes, one engine failed on impact, the other kept running but didn't develop any thrust. ---------- Post added at 13:54 ---------- Previous post was at 13:32 ---------- Here are some of the videos: Accident: Ural A321 at Moscow on Aug 15th 2019, bird strike into both engines forces...

AFAIK, it's not going to be perfect - there are other less likely reactions alongside every aneutronic one, and there is no ways to stop them. So it would be like 10% of the flux rather than zero.

There are many types of reactors that could burn through the waste. Problem is, most of them are the types which breed fissile material, and no one wants more nukes floating around. The issue with fusion is the neutron flux it would produce. That tends to turn everything around it into...

I'd say not likely. Hacking won't look like a knocked down pole, an exploded transformer or a vaporized spanner. Hacking would look like a critical connection suddenly disconnected for no reason, causing a cascade of failures. Or, if it's party time, the grid segmenting, drifting in frequency...

I'm a bit surprised that a powerplant overload results in the whole plant being disconnected rather than parts of the load being dropped. Is it difficult to auto-switch off only a bit of the city or only the factory?

Been a while since i looked for anything like that. From what i remember, newer code was available from NASA's code release program, but it was extremely convoluted and bound into many arcane frameworks, making it impossible to really use. One i really wanted to get to work was the stellar...

A few? Somehow that feels like an understatement for a 27 euro board.

Why not XFCE? Been using it since forever, it's clean and does not get in your way.

Sigh. On the other side of the pond, my mother haven't even heard about it until the 80s and my father heard about it but haven't seen the broadcasts until much later. Apparently there wasn't much more than a passing mention in the newspaper at the time, and few people noticed. No wonder so...

Hm, sounds like the military got some new non-lethal weapons or crowd dispersal toys, and are itching to try them out. So they organized this invasion by pretending to be some idiot on Facebook...

So, what are their plans for when this thing inevitably flips over?

Arrival in 2030s, hm? 40 years after Cassini launch, and almost New Horizons away.

And the bomb made the news: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-48746557 That's a peculiar crater shape.

Hm, i would have preferred a more compact version of Compute Module or Zero. Trying to scale up the performance feels like a wrong way to go these days.

Looks like it's not "charging" issue, but rather a single use battery cell on the upper stage was accidentally activated a day earlier and is now fully drained. This requires de-stacking the vehicle to replace, 4 days each way, which is why they are delaying to the next launch window.

Reminds me of the ultrasonic rodent repellents which are popular around here in all kinds of malls and shops. They are supposed to be inaudible to humans, but i happen to have an abnormal left ear which can hear up to 19KHz or so. I can see why it works on rodents - the skull-drilling...

Sigh. 15 minutes of skipping through a video just to find out that it's not as cool as i thought.
