Technology@lemmy.world•China’s ‘land aircraft carrier’ charges flying drone with microwave beamEnglish
2·19 hours agoYeah I’m sure that’ll be about as efficient as Elon Musk’s approach to designing the Starship+HeavyBooster.
Compared to microwave energy transmission which has even worse efficiency.
Ok now do that with aircraft, at 15k feet, going 600 mph.
This is about drones. At 5 km distance and close to mach 1 you can absolutely forget any microwave based charging systems.

Involuntary or comulsory fire brigades are a thing in some municipalities in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, specifically when there are not enough people signing up for a voluntary fire brigade. There is an exemption for comulsory fire brigades in the international forced labour conventation.

Technology@lemmy.world•Backblaze silently redefines 'unlimited' backups and users discover it's not backing up DB and OD — as firm leans heavier into AI storage services, changes could signal shift away from home backupsEnglish
7·1 day agoI assume it’s where the AI companies store the stolen data used to train their LLMs.
They were forced into the Deutschlandticket-Union, their existence is almost irrelevant now.
Frog would never do that to Toad.
I studied electrical engineering, I had to do a mandatory internship of 10 weeks. Pretty sure the mechanical engineers had to do one too, but I suppose this varies a lot across countries.

HistoryPhotos@piefed.social•Jewish refugees protesting deportation to Nazi Germany, Ellis Island, USA, 1936English
3·3 days agoThe concentration camps changed over time and also who they were intended to for. I think the “surprise” was often more about the death camps, not the “regular” concentration camps. This photo is from 1936, one year after the Nuremberg Laws and two years before the 1938 November pogroms. At this point the concentration camps were mostly used for political enemies (social democrats, communists,…) and undesireables (homeless people, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, “criminals”,…). The death camps that were established to exterminate Jews were created in 1941, the gas chambers followed in 1942 after the Wannsee Conference.

7·3 days agoI think that way you will definitely make sure there is a strike very near to your area.

3·4 days agoSomeone else wrote it already, for a decoy all you need is a transmitter. The complexity is the receiver not necessarily the transmitter, no fancy antennas or signal processing required. You can make decoys that are much cheaper than this.

Europe@feddit.org•Have you seen US defaultism in real life while they're in Europe?English
3·4 days agoI’ve seen people (not just Americans, though) do things that are illegal here because they couldn’t imagine it being illegal in their home country.
I mean people do illegal stuff in their home countries too because they don’t think it is illegal, but often it’s just that it’s not enforced.
Maybe Anon meant 11st grade?
Wasn’t the RRoD only a problem of the first generation? OP has an S, it shouldn’t be affected by that problem.
