Small modular nuclear reactors get a reality check in new report
  • Sorry, can't find the stuff I read about it a while back when I was interested about it, or was it a YouTube video?

    Anyway, here is what I remember: having the radioactive fuel as a liquid makes it easier to leak, and once that's happened, the environment damage will spread faster to ground water. Also sodium salt is liquid at high temperature, at which it will spontaneously catch fire in contact with oxygen (air), so any leak will cause a catastrophic fire, and this is what caused the demise of the French prototype "Projet Phénix" in the 70s.

  • Because it is actually not that simple, especially on the "cleaner" and "safer" parts.

  • Self-balancing commuter pods ride old railway lines on demand
  • Yes, it's regrettable to see public money is wasted on this kind of projects instead of being spent to really improve the public transport infrastructure. Although, in Germany, it really isn't bad. But still.

  • Light Eye of Stuttgart21 [OC]
  • It's interesting to see it from the inside. It has been in construction for as long as I've leaved here. It looks like the inside of a mother-ship of some alien species.

    Of course there is a lot of controversy about this project. I feel rather neutral about it.

  • YouTube has now begun skipping videos altogether for users with ad blockers
  • The only way I can keep watching YouTube is with Smart Tube, uBlock and SponsorBlock. Donating 1€ to a content creator is equivalent to watch hundreds of hours worth of ads, so I prefer to do that when I can.

  • Shamelessly stolen from facebook.
  • In French, bat is chauve-souris which little translates to "bald mouse".

  • Using any DE be like:
  • I am always on the freshest Fedora Workstation, and all the extensions I use are always supported from the start. I don't use that many to be honest. But, is extensions compatibility really an issue nowadays?

  • Nvidia now has the best business brand reputation in America

  • I can't seem to find information about the Ford Escape having a LiDAR, it's not on the spec. Sheet on Ford's website and in the news it's only about prototypes.

    I am not saying Teslas should or shouldn't have LiDARs. I am just curious. I only know about Audi, Mercedes, Honda and Hyundai currently selling cars with LiDAR used for ADAS. They might be more Chinese OEMs selling cars with LiDARs, buy Ford, it surprises me.

  • The LiDAR you have on your vacuum isn't going to cut it as a safety relevant component onboard your car. Automotive-grade LiDAR are on another price range. Development for such sensors is quoted separately from the part price, and it costs millions of $.

  • Is there any HDD over 8TB using 5400RPM ?

    Hello ! I have a custom build NAS currently using 4x6TB hard drives in RAID10. I am looking for a capacity upgrade. My main focus are low power consumption and low noise (the NAS is in my living room / home office).

    I can't seem to find any 5400RPM HDD over 8TB in capacity anywhere. Is there any model with 10, 12 or more TB in existence ? If not, what could be the reasons ?

    TIL about this tool, the *Reinigungsschaber* !

    I had lost hope with my electric cooking plates. The white circles where completely hidden under a layer of diamond-grade burn residue that no amount of scrubbing with chemicals could even begin to remove. I found this 3€ scrapping tool and it's amazing !!! Sorry, but I don't have the before picture, believe me after 6 years of usage, it was bad.

    The Algorithm - 'userspace' (official music video)

    I would like to present you another French artist, that puts out some real' nice mix of Synth, Chiptunes and Metal. If you like Carpenter Brut this might be your jam as well! Not sure if this qualifies as Synthwave, though. If not, the mod can remove it, I won't get upset ;-)

    Amsterdam Just Closed their Busiest Road

    Amsterdam is trialing its most ambitious traffic project yet. They are cutting off car traffic on a major 4-lane arterial road through the city. This has got the right-wingers panties in a bunch, but the trial is still underway. Will this lead to a utopian city or carmageddon?
