Magstrips on credit cards are extremely durable (besides the fact that they are outdated). It required a beast of an electromagnet to corrupt a bit on them. And those were written by a cheap USB card reader. Mythbusters Season 2003, Episode 3.
Myth has it that some people have broken a window in their car just by running the custom audio set at max. More often the speakers or amplifiers are blown.
A kid hears from his hearing care that his hearing is damaged. His response: Dang, so max volume on my current stereo will soon not be enough.
There is an interface, else the dash would not be able to display data from the power system. If the dash sends a specially crafted corrupt data package to the power system it may be able to influence it. Not completely separate.
Yest, but they are a rather cheap, easy and high density storage medium. Solar panels and batteries have neither of those traits. They are more efficient, but the cost per joule is far above that of plants.
Because there is no screw-base industry standard for color changing bulbs. Hell there is no industry standard for dimming led bulbs. If you buy a dimmable one and happen to have the wrong kind of dimmer there are bound to be lines in the EULA that remove liability from the manufacturer.
Your doctor doesn't tell your insurance agency anything beyond "He had a consult, it costs $X. Pay up." If he tells the insurance agency anything else, he is liable for a whole mess of lawsuits in most countries, including I believe the USA and definitely the Netherlands.
The DNA check should be used as a crosscheck. If symptom gene 127891 is present then the chance that symptom AHKS is a serious heart condition is big. If it isn't present then it's probably just a rash. If your doctor has a list of increased chances based on your DNA then that helps to diagnose quicker and better. Not everyone can handle such information. It is a big step to stop worrying about a future disease and have fun with life. Anecdotal evidence suggest that many people can't take such a step.
Personally, I can handle the information on that list. My kidneys have been degrading since I was born so I am accustomed to having such information. I took that step a long time ago and it seems to me that it is easier when you grow up with it. Most people don't have such experience.
In case of some weird and exotic laws not knowing it should exempt you: It is illegal to play dominoes on Sunday. Disclaimer: Dunno if that list is correct, but it is at least somewhat funny.
Solar shingles are better oriented. (Also, they exist, and you can buy them now.)
These things seem a hell to install. So many separate panels means so many separate cables. And the heat buildup! Directly placed on the isolation is a bad idea. air needs to flow behind solar panels to keep them cool. A raised panel creates a chimney effect behind it, cooling quite efficient. On a hot day in a reasonably warm climate (the Netherlands) roof tiles of 80ÂC (180F) aren't strange. Normal shingles can handle temperatures of far over 100ÂC. (I have no data on how much exactly, but boiling water should be no problem). Solar panels loose efficiency as temperature increases. At 100ÂC there will be no to next to no efficiency left, but the exact efficiency losses are brand dependent. Do you really want your solar panels to stop on the hottest days? And that is added to the problem that semiconductors tend to die in heat. Have you ever ran a high power microprocessor without cooling?
There is a magic trick for that: a small battery to store the gathered energy for night time use. Besides, it'll be perfect for windows. Tinted windows by day and light emitting panels by night.
It's probably the energy cost to make 1 watt of solar panel. Assuming the summary is correct it costs 75 cents of power to make 1 watt of solar panel if you use solar panels to deliver that power and 50 cents of power if you use fossil fuels. The reason for the cost/kwh is properly explained by sibling posters.
The age of the mission critical app matters not, assuming the hardware is still replaceable (or emulatable), the system is airgapped and it needs NO software updates ever. If it works, don't fix it. However, set the right conditions for "works".
Call it WPA 3 (or WPA 2.5 if you don't feel the change warrants a major number change) and treat it like any other system. If not all of your devices support WPA 3 you set the router to WPA 2 and "hope" nobody hacks you (not really hoping. It isn't an issue in most home applications).
A combination of dictionary words can be a strong password. This does require a large password field, but WPA 2 seems to support 64 characters so that's covered. A random set of dictionary words is easy to remember for a human and difficult to guess for a computer. We need to get away from insane password rules. 1. A max length of below 32 characters is bullshit. Instead, set a minimum length of 16 characters and advise to use a few random words. 2. Requiring non-alpahnumeric characters seems safe, but it moves the passwords away from words, thus it moves it to a less useful password style. Besides, the attacker knows this rule. So he'll try a dictionary attack with o's replaced with zeroes and stuff like that. 3.... 4. Profit. Or at least less losses from theft.
Face it. Most password rules do not create passwords that are easy to remember. They create passwords that are relatively easy to brute-force.
why don't we just be good drivers and pay attention to the road and our surroundings instead of trying to have technology do it for us to the point where we completely rely on it and end up killing people when it fails?
Because people suck at paying attention and giving a fine to people who mess with their phone, drive tired or somesuch just doesn't work. Driving a car is probably the most dangerous mode of transportation (dunno about walking or biking (warning: depends on country). Definitely more dangerous than flying). Making it safer is a good plan IMHO, even intermediate measures like this (end measure is pure automated driving, manual driving will be illegal on the road).
Of course th car has that info. The in dash GPS usually had speed limit info these days, just to display the maximum speed for the road you are on. Assuming the GPS is on (it may be impossible to turn it off) it knows when you are speeding. That doesn't mean they should collect that data, let alone upload it to their servers. If thy do store that data it can and will be "requested" by the government. It may be that someone at Ford who decided that is too stupid to understand that.
That may also be for insurance reasons. Li-Ion batteries don't handle cold well. The carry-on stays warm, the normal luggage doesn't. Although with TSA you never know. "It could theoretically be used as a bomb if it is badly designed but we can't ban it. I know, lets let them take it as carry-on instead of luggage. That'll solve this"
BTW: it seems most li-ion batteries are badly designed. The controller should be in the battery pack, not the device. If it is in a sealed battery pack nothing can go wrong. If it is in the device moisture can short circuit it and cause it to explode. Since most controllers see only one battery pack these days the price difference is negligible.

That is one of the things that is safe to test in the field. Maybe it isn't a problem at all, and if it is then the problem solves itself.
Storage is a problem with sunlight. Burnable fuels do not have that problem.
Because there is no screw-base industry standard for color changing bulbs. Hell there is no industry standard for dimming led bulbs. If you buy a dimmable one and happen to have the wrong kind of dimmer there are bound to be lines in the EULA that remove liability from the manufacturer.
The initial price may have been $0.5, but they used so much energy that it wasn't funny. I can't breath water.
as in: tickle them with sexy magnetic fields.
Then you would be locked in by the fixture manufacturer. You wouldn't be able to screw in any bulb in that fixture.

Maybe they also installed a bitcoin botnet to cover up their real "work".
The copyright hasn't expired on the software they copied for that.

Requiring the removal of the front end to replace a f*cking headlight is the worst I have seen.
