It sucks not having laws to protect your privacy.
But at least they don't send a picture every half-second, apparently they use a build-in Automated Content Recognition (ACR) technology.
Which to me means they 'only' collect the name of the content.
Makes me wonder how they would name your private recordings of you doing the neighbors wife.

Solar and wind have a max desirable amount. You do not want more than 25% in either of those intermittent sources because then you end up spending more on batteries than you do on power plants and distribution.

What's wrong with spending on batteries? Batteries are exteremly important in providing grid stability and consistency. It's a good way to spend money.

I know Germany employs radar to stop a wind turbine once birds get into the danger zone.
This is certainly not used everywhere but typically there where protected birds live and/or migrate.

Also, the number of bird-strikes is often exaggerated, in the Netherlands in 1932 there was a 32 km (20 miles) dam constructed right in the middle of a bird migration path. The past 20-30 years every week a volunteer walked the length of the dam and counted the number of dead birds washed up on the shore, this has hardly changed now wind turbines have been build in the area.

Comment My fave phone OS. (Score 1) 45

I've been using Sailfish since the first release (and the Nokia N770/800/810 before that).

I'm no IT guy, but even with a little experience it is powerful, I run Arch with Syncthing in a container, have syncthing also natively for the Sailfish installation.

It's just the perfect phone OS to me, can run all the banking Apps I need, or Spotify etc, but also can SSH in and control it remotely, or use it as a emergency terminal to connect to my servers etc.

That and the fact that it's not from Google or Apple is more than enough for me. The community is also fantastic.

Highly recommended if you don't mind tinkering with with tech now and again.
