Is somebody that is buying a new car and does not own a smart phone? I do not want much in the way of smarts. I want a nice sunlight readable touchscreen, buttons on the steering wheel (more are better), and a HUD. The stereo should turn into an amp and radio tuner (maybe a USB storage interface) for the cellphone. The screen buttons etc should slave themselves to that same cellphone. Nice to haves might be a fixed GPS for better reception, OBD access to get vehicle info. All this can happen today via Bluetooth and wifi (for the screen casting). Expand the qi charging spec to have a magnetic mounting. The point being is cars last a decade or more the electronic systems only a few years before being outdated. Sure put in some default radio and environmental controls just in case, it can probably also function as the bridge from Bluetooth to the can bus or whatever the car uses.
Do you have any idea how big of a fuel cell you would need to run a car? Forget the issues with hydrogen, why would you want to convert to electric then to mechanical motion? Yea it's more efficient use of the hydrogen but it's also a ton of weight and volume.
That really depends on the state. In mine when the contract is over the next company takes over the physical plant, it's one of the reason they can be so reluctant to do any improvements. There is no reason those company's can not continue to use the existing physical plant, in the long term it should be cheaper to piggyback on the muni's plant. If you think those 401k's deserve their mono(duala)poly status that is a whole different matter no company deserves a legal monopoly.
PS 401k's should be widely invested even if one segmented tanked it should be a minor blip if anything other segments should increase to make up the difference.
I would really not want the muni to have any networking gear. We need to back away from ugly refrigerators on telephone polls. Cheap optics are good for 40km that is far more larger than any town.
That is why you split the difference, muni fiber only handing off CWDM. Fiber has been pretty standard for a LONG time and not expected to change. With CWDM/DWDM your ISP gets to determine the speeds the muni is just passing light back and forth, it literally has nothing that requires power with a CDWM network.
I would say you have a far better chance of your local government standing up to the NSA goons. It's a states rights vs fed rights pissing match. Your local government has it's own goons with guns (and lately a token APC), so you have a far better chance of things getting worked out by the courts than guys with guns. Elected officials often have shield laws protecting them from incarceration/civil suit for doing what they were elected to do. They have big pockets by way of taxes to fight in the courts. AT&T likes black boxes they get paid a lot for each one, they get legal cover from the feds as well as PR cover of they made us do and and not tell you there is no real downside to a domestic only carrier.
No the backbone stays intact were talking about the last mile. This is where we dot not want many parallel wiring plants as it's inefficient, ugly, and provides no value while using public space.
Fiber, because CDWM is cheap and lets multiple ISP's connect to everybody at the same time. Hell it lets the muni potentially deliver a shared layer 2 to allow multiple ISP's to provide services with just a single connections to the muni. Businesses and people could mesh together allowing for new innovation. A default L3 network could let people reach the muni, schools, libraries, each other and local businesses.
Whats even better is fiber-optics allow for multiple providers to seamlessly share the same fiber cheaply via CWDM. So you can split the last mile and services parts.
They were not facilitating criminal activity they were facilitating something you could be civilly sued for in most civilized countries. They warped well your selling ads so your making money from it. The equivalent would be saying a newspaper who sells adds is criminally liable for prostitution because it has a personals section.
Latency alone is a reason you do not want to compress the output stream to send over the network to decompress. Actual video 8k fits with reasonable encoding over gigabit. Uncompressed 1080p 30fps 8 bit encoding is just under gigabit speeds. I doubt your going to find any thin client that is not going to pack hardware decoding.
For what purpose? Do you think you need more bandwidth to saturate 802.11ac? It takes a couple sata/sas attached SSD's to read/write (or a dozen conventional hard drives) at 1.25GBs. Do you think you need that sort of speeds for your laptop?
If your vaccinated then they present no risk to you or your family. This is exactly the response people are worried about.
I intentionally skipped one vaccination with my son. The science said it was the best choice for him at the time. This is not to be confused with the science that says accepting some bad outcomes to individuals is the best for the herd. When he was older he got the vax because the statistics changed.
In any event if your so worried you can stay locking in a bubble while the rest of us accept the basic risks of living. Being in control of what medical procedures we allow is a fundamental human right of bodily integrity and autonomy which by the way includes being able to move freely. The state should never be empowered to force any medical procedure on anybody or generally restrict them based upon their status.
For pure topo's I like a B&W map, color is nice to identify other features like waterways, roads, trails etc. They had problem finding a sunlight readable color eink in that size they wanted.
Some talk has been made about a light version sans the radio's.
The EARL is pretty close an android with an eink display that lights up. So you can read a book on a good display and have the OS and processor to do pretty much everything but gaming and watching videos.
Walking into a room to have it open the curtains if a bunch of logic is met is fun, tied together with logic for the lighting to come on/change dimming levels/change color is even more fun. Looking at integrating better with the home theater bits, closing curtains and dimming lights is nice for a movie overkill for the GF listening to an episode of murder she wrote. Also looking at something like boblight toned down for the whole room.
Na I'm a DIY sort my spend was well under 100 bucks for the curtains would guess well under 2k total (video security probably half of that). Mind you I've got 50 ish feet of south facing windows with just 2 curtains between them, it would be a vastly different price if I was trying to do blinds in every window. My build was not really motivated by heating/cooling savings the automation itself and a bit of nerd cred was more important.
I've got cows as neighbors but yet still have security it's not a question of where you live but how vigilant about security you are that is a life choice. You could not get me to want to live in any city no matter what the climate, crime rate, or who says it's the best place ever.

Teeth is referring them to a grand jury after firing them with cause. Skipping the politically motivated DA's office.

If it's a 15 minute change out at any garage with a lift, it's a potential alternative to renting a car for a long trip.

You have 35 AP's already using 5ghz?
I said civilized, US copyright law is anything but.

If you have a number randomly extending on into infinity then somewhere in it is every possible sequence of numbers of any length.

It's affordable now, your looking at about 100 bucks a port.

Melbourne AU? Been there nice place, needs AC.
If your going to go that far why not just implement autonomous (mini) buses. If you do not control it it's not yours.
