Also doesn't that mean Mr. Robert here fed chatgpt some numbers, that are presumably in the 120-130 range?

Maybe eroded by the wind

There's a reason this photo was shot in 1958 and not yesterday

Not only it's not aligned but the magnetic north pole is constantly, and measurably, drifting, so it would several kms farther than what it was 65 years ago

As far as I know it's common pratice to include chemical markers in explosives unique to the factory, so if the explosive get stolen/used in an unauthorized manner the investigators can trace back were they were trafugated.

Maybe they also include high visibility pieces of plastic as a visual markers. If so on them there would be printed some identifying information like lot number, manufacturing date and factory address.

Also, at least for ext4 filesystems, probably many others, there's an option (noexec) that prevents any execution. Might be worth checking that

And brakes as well. EV are, for the most part, greenqashing designed to sell you more cars you wouldn't need in a better designed world.

My "everyone" was a bit too wide I think. I'm not talking about everyday people of course. I'm talking about 50+ employees companies, that would save money by hiring a sysadmin and running their own servers. I know of companies with thousands of employees that pay millions on Azure and AWS and have no in-house infrastructure. That's how you get to Amazon running half of the internet

If you tell me gasoline yeah probably (diesel generator to power electric motors is done in big ships), caol I highly doubt it.

But apart from pollution per se, an electric car used everyday would require at least 50% of a household power budget to charge (2-3 kW). If every single ICE vehicle would be immediately swapped to electric, I doubt many countries would be able to cope with the increased power consumption. That's why we need more energy infrastructure before a full switch. Or you know, less cars and more public transport.

Electric vehicles are not a solution for environmental problems, not now at least, they pollute when building the batteries and, unless nuclear energy is widespread, they will be powered by coal/gas making them pretty polluting. They will be a solution only when we have cleaner energy available.

Bonus: people should stop being lazy and learn to setup a server infrastructure instead of using "the cloud". Your data are safer, you save money and give less power to gargantuan cloud companies.

If a security researcher is installing on their browser a free vpn browser extension, I assume they are a moron and can't do their job.

Seriously, not only your first question should be "how are these people paying for 6 millions people using their VPN?", but your second one should be " why they don't provide a client of a wireguard/ipsec/openvpn configuration file? So they don't have access to my webpages?"

That's good, AppImage is still my favourite of the "distro-agnostic" package systems and I think it really is missing a central repository solution.
