Voyager 1 uses hydrazine (N₂H₄) as fuel for its small attitude control thrusters. Hydrazine is a hypergolic monopropellant, meaning it doesn't require an external oxidizer—it decomposes exothermically upon contact with a catalyst, producing gas to generate thrust.
The thrusters are not used for propulsion, but rather to rotate and stabilize the spacecraft so that its antenna remains pointed toward Earth and its instruments can be properly oriented. Fuel consumption is extremely low—only a few grams per year—and Voyager 1 still has some hydrazine left, although it's running low. Once the hydrazine is depleted, the spacecraft will no longer be able to control its orientation, which means communication with Earth will cease.
The Voyager spacecraft have no engines for linear acceleration; instead, they follow the trajectory and speed gained from gravity assists during planetary flybys in the solar system.
If you pick a ZigBee device and don't try to power a refrigerator or a washing machine with it, it probably doesn't matter much. Just get some reliable brand, Sonoff, IKEA, something, for wall powered stuff. Battery sensors are fine OEM from AliExpress. I'd advice against anything WiFi that requires a cloud connection, as most of them do, but that is my personal preference.
There were the opportunists profiteering arseholes that hoarded necessities in hopes to sell them marked up to the skies. I hope their butts rot and their toilet paper is itchy and annoying.
Today I was annoyed by a man in his 30-40s that was talking on his phone like he was a reality soap star with speaker on full blast in a doctor's waiting room.
Then I remembered the most absurd moment on the tram some time ago when a two teen girls were talking to a third and the one holding the phone told her friend to go sit somewhere else because they wanted to talk in private. The second girl moves and the first one proceeds to have their private talk on speaker. In a tram full of people and her friend sitting a few seats away.
Yeah but not one "master" language. All knowledge it can relate across languages is available in all languages. LLM (and computers) don't care about the data, they just process it. Humans would translate it and compile it in ordered encyclopedia. For LLM it is all just an insane number of references and cross references all over that is available from anywhere that the link has been established. The input/output of desired language and formulation and whatever is a different part of it.
A friend helping out in an emergency for a few days, weeks or mayyybe months is one thing. Systematically living on somebody else's bill only to save your own expenses is something else.
You're of course free to do what you want, but don't be surprised if your friends get tired of you.
I know that the current generation of LLM have a language agnostic knowledge base, which is damn awesome, but I don't know how the language layer works.
It all comes down to plausibility. A repeat offender that clearly doesn't give a flying fuck or somebody that pays for trash collection services and has no reason to dump their garbage but they also have an asshole neighbour with a personal vendetta. Or it is building materials and that address just had work done Or they paid a contractor for work and cleaning up and the contractor dumped it on the forest. I'm sure the authorities won't bother with it if it happens once but when it's the second or third time with the same suspect, well then you actually have a case.
