I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of those “American style” ground units in Europe. They all look like the one in the picture and are predominantly wall or roof mounted.

For that to work industrial devices have to support DNS in the first place…

The upside is that they can slap down 3D printers in all sorts of sheds and make parts decentralised. If they can keep up with demand it’s also a logistics win.

People who have permanently moved to another country, what gave you the opportunity and was it worth it?

3 in the whole country basically means there’s always one at most a 1.5h drive away.

Valve seems to have quietly rolled out a major upgrade to their Anti-Cheat system and it’s apparently wrecking havoc on cheat providers
Reply in thread
I’ve worked in esports for a bit and there’s definitely cheats out there that pros use. When utilised well you won’t even notice when directly spectating or when the player is streaming. They’re designed to help extremely good players just that little bit extra needed to become a top-tier player.
Those “pro-grade” cheats don’t come cheap though. I’ve heard figures in the 400-600/month range multiple times. These would also work on the special tournament clients used by professional players.

Big Dutch cities call for powers to ban e-scooters, fatbikes
Reply in thread
Those regulations exist, enforcement is the problem. Fatbikes are the main culprit here. They are sold within legal limits, but it’s incredibly easy to just remove the software limits and/or flash custom firmware.
Police does regular checks, but people tend to quickly turn the limit back on when they see an officer.

'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds
Reply in thread
Kinetic energy is exactly what’s harvested, which is why modern wind turbines are not far off the theoretical limit of the amount of energy that can be extracted. (Betz’s law)
By taking energy from wind, you slow it down. Slow it down too much, and it can’t get out of the way in time for new air.

🚨 New York City is holding a public hearing on Mayor Adams's controversial proposal to cap e-bike speed-limits at 15 mph. People can file a written comment until 5 p.m. 📢
Reply in thread
It’s the exact same in the Netherlands. The pedal assist is capped at that speed, but nothing stops you from powering though that and going faster. Not that it makes any sense to do so for the average daily office commuter.

That would imply en existence of display/usb outputs…
We’re essentially talking a bunch of embedded devices talking to each other. You can give them all the dns entries you want, but if they (or the programming environment) don’t support DNS lookup you might as well put your dns server in excel.

Bosch manager in interview: eBike over-motorization is a risk to our business, because eBikes with more than 800 Watt power will lead to much stricter regulations
Reply in thread
The Netherlands already has quite strict rules around e-bikes and is looking into tightening things even more as there’s a rise in e-bike accidents. Currently it’s no support above 25km/h, no throttle, <250W.

Eyes in the Sky: A Comprehensive Survey of Ukrainian Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)

That was about the lock in part. Most of the mavic footage I’ve seen seems to be digital at least, though I recall something about them changing the RF frequencies constantly to avoid jamming.

The "standard" car charger is usually overkill—but your electrician might not know that [32:26]
Reply in thread
What they do here for (a good amount of) home car chargers is read out the electricity meter using their serial port and dynamically adjust the charge current to never take more than those 3x25A.

I highly doubt the mavics used in Ukraine still run the stock firmware
