Very interesting. I have several battery based Stihl tools. One battery seems problematic and this hopefully give more details.

I am surprised nobody here mentioned the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightyear_0

A similar Dutch find was made into a podcast series (also in Dutch): ‘Liefste Lies’. An amazing story!

‘Liefste Lies, een podcast over verlangen.

In Sittard is een koffer gevonden met honderden liefdesbrieven uit de jaren 40 en 50 aan één vrouw: Lies. Tientallen mannen, onder wie Toon Hermans, en een enkele vrouw schrijven haar hartstochtelijke liefdesverklaringen, smeekbedes om een foto en huwelijksaanzoeken. Allemaal, en veelal tegelijkertijd, denken ze dat Lies de ware is, tot ze hen onherroepelijk in de steek laat. Wie is deze mysterieuze vrouw? Voor wie zal ze kiezen? Hoeveel vrijheid heeft ze en hoe is dat nú eigenlijk in de liefde?’

As long as the legal department is very serious, that might work rather well.

Until nobody uses your products anymore.

Just like you know to never use anything from Google apart from ads (since everything else can get cancelled next month)

They don't care about end users. Like Oracle, they care about corporate and government contracts.

To enable work from home?

I would hope critical infrastructure would have someone on site 24/7. The Internet could go out, roads blocked, and weather too dangerous for a helicopter and you'd still want power to flow. If people want to work remotely, they could have a human-bridged air gap where change instructions are followed by someone on-site.

I don't know about power plants, but for critical water infrastructure, there's usually not even a building for someone to sit in 24/7 and at least 99% of the time there would be nothing for them to do.

Maybe we bring back the "lighthouse keeper" type jobs for remote infrastructure

More likely windows updates.

Serious answer: there's a big plan to network everything for metrology purposes. At the very least feeding real time frequency, voltage and phase information from every point of interest on the grid into a big dashboard.

It's likely that much of this stuff is still running on Windows XP which doesn't even receive updates. But of course it's still exposed to the internet.

> Anthropic has projected revenue of at least $10.9 billion for the second quarter of 2026, more than double the previous quarter, on track for its first quarterly operating profit of $559 million.

Not a single mention. It’s all „revenue”. And as the downvoters are surely aware: profit != revenue.

From what I understood, when I looked into it a while ago, some car makers use an encrypted ODB2 (needed by Comma.ai to communicate driving instructions).

See for example: https://autel.us/security-gateways/, 'Automakers with security gateways installed include Stellantis (Dodge, Chrysler, Ram, Alfa Romeo, FIAT, and Maserati), Nissan and Infinity, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen and Audi.'

None of those busses are encrypted (at least not the majority I am familiar with). The security gateway is just a firewall.

Toyota TSS3 is in fact encrypted; openpilot users who have TSS3 have to manually extract decryption keys from their cars to be able to talk on the CAN bus.

How abhorrent and disgusting of Toyota! >:^(

ChatGPT link for export: https://chatgpt.com/#settings/DataControls

After some verification I got this by email:

'We have started preparing your data export, this process may take a few days. We will email you when it is ready to download.'

So it might take a while to test the Paper Trail. I am curious though!

Claude is much easier. Link: https://claude.ai/new#settings/data-privacy-controls

Then it shows 'Export started'. After two minutes I got an email with a download link. Good one, Claude!

EDIT:

I uploaded the export of Claude to Paper Trail. Looking at the results it makes all sense in itself. It is more the way that details are grouped that makes it scary, something to think more about my AI usage.

I'd expect an entity purporting to promote privacy to provide a FOSS tool users can download to run the report themselves (those who care wouldn't mind running the report generation for a long time with limited compute), why increase the number of entities?

Wanting to be viewed as trustworthy is not the same thing as having successfully convinced potential users they are.

Good point

> This ability to turn oil demand on and off, ostensibly at low economic cost, allows the world’s biggest oil importer to move prices just as the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (opec) and its allies have long done through their control of half of global output.

This is not about production. You should read the article and not only the title.

Maybe you should accept 'greatest oil power' as fact?

It's this one publications opinion. At best.

And it's essentially unheard of.

does decreasing demand raise prices?

No, it lowers prices... which is what happened (effectively) versus expectations.

Yes, very useful to see what a cable is capable of. Mac only.
