A speedometer is on the technical side a rev meter. As you can change rim and tyre size (e.g. summer and winter tyres), the whole circumference changes, leading to different speeds that the car can't measure. So with summer and winter it shows the same speed but in reality, you're going different speeds.

As typically by law, the speedometer is not allowed to show too slow, it's showing by design too fast. So that even after changing tyre size, it will still not accidentally show too little speed. It's necessary due to the measuring method with unknown variables.

Lorries typically have a trip recorder for speed and rest periods. Their speedometer is usually calibrated, which is also why people often think they are speeding when comparing to their own car's speedometer. But it's the car showing the wrong number.

Do people download, store, wait, watch or not watch and then after a while delete? Storage is cheap and I'm even collecting some movies or shows knowing I will never watch them.

E.g. highly rated old mono film, or it got lots of awards but I totally don't care about the topic. Or a few childhood cartoons, which I'll probably never watch again.

I only delete faulty data or when getting a higher quality/remastered version etc.

The Primus, a bulk carrier sailing under a Liberian flag, left Odesa on the morning of Aug. 26, where it has been docked since before the full-scale invasion

It's still in Ukrainian waters at the moment, we can track the ship's location here: https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=9310757

I just watched the video on Youtube:

He is not hugging the left lane, there is a car seen on the right, that he and the other traffic in front of him on the left lane, are passing.

The headphones are only partially visible and only on one ear. Due to the noise level inside, it could be argued to be hearing protection or maybe a headphone on one ear for voice navigation instructions. Not sure what the French law exactly prohibits there.

The speeding is according to the cars own speedometer. Most of us learned during driving school that a lorry must have calibrated speed but cars don't. They all show too much, as they can't show too little. It's inaccurate by design. How inaccurate? We don't know.

So besides a not named person complaining, I don't think there is not much going to happen. At least the press can get some clicks, Max can say sorry into cameras and in a few days, the French police can release a statement that are glad he sees his wrongdoing and they now stopped their investigation.

This article is only about the branch "T-Mobile US" but not mentioning it. And yes according to Wikipedia there are about 70,000 employees. The parent company is listed with about 210,000 employees.

You should get/use one external drive for backups that you store separately (can be your 2nd or a new one). Having two separate internal drives for backup is not safe, as the system can damage data on both at the same time (e.g. malware/encryption, data corruption etc.).

RAID is for availability/uptime. I like to compare it to a shop system at the checkout. You can't have shop payments halted if one drive fails, so you have a RAID. It allows you to repair/replace while the system keeps running and your business keeps operating. In a large business, every hour of downtime can cost you hundreds of thousand of currency, so RAID gets even more sophisticated. Downtime is not an option.

At home this is up to you. RAID can save you some hassle and grant performance, but likely costs you more money than it saves you. Backup is key, so have at least one separately stored copy and depending on the importance of your data, also have an off-site backup.

A few days ago, the UK MoD had an interesting intelligence update regarding those drone attacks and the resulting problems for Russia. It does of course not confirm or deny who is behind any explosion deep within Russian territory.

So this analysis points out that Russia has to relocate resources in the air defence sector, that wasn’t really necessary before the UAV attacks. Resources for this means they cannot be used for something or somewhere else. These small UAV attacks can totally have a big impact regarding lacking frontline supplies of equipment. Air defence is not cheap, possibly requires electronics on sanction lists and cheap UAV puts Russia in the same situation as Ukraine, that the defence system/ammunition has to be cheap as well. The Russians can’t use missiles costing millions of dollars for that task - or they can, but run out of funding even faster.

Hm das sehe ich als jein. Ich meine du musst ja eh jederzeit wissen wie schnell du fährst, nicht nur vor Schulen. Du schaust ja regelmäßig in Rotation alles durch. Spiegel, weit voraus, Nahbereich, Tacho etc. Und selbst ohne so ein interaktives Schild: Sobald irgendwo "30 Kindergarten" aufgestellt ist, fahre ich auch eher 29 auf dem Tacho (~27 km/h). Da entsteht durch die geringe Geschwindigkeit auch viel mehr Zeit für die Blick-Rotation und etwaige Reaktionen auf Geschehnisse.

Umgekehrt muss ich aber auch eingestehen bei "30 Lärmschutz" habe ich eher 36 auf dem Tacho (~33 km/h), da ich aber hier einen Gang (3.) höher fahren kann und es leiser wird. Darunter müsste einen Gang (2.) tiefer, wodurch ich zwar die 30 einhalten würde aber mehr Lärm erzeuge.

Die Teile sind genial. So ein "Danke" oder Smiley-Schild sehe ich als Mini-Game auf der Straße. Wie viele kann ich auf einer Fahrt sammeln?

Da könnte ich mir durchaus eine App vorstellen, die nach vorne solche Schilder scannt und eine persönliche Statistik mit Highscore führt.

Einzig die falsch eingestellten Schilder stören. Sprich mein Tacho zeigt ca. 7% mehr als die GPS-Geschwindigkeit. 50 erlaubt, Tacho zeigt 51 (also ca. 47 km/h) und das Schild zeigt mir "53 - zu schnell". Also einfach mal 6 km/h mehr als ich tatsächlich fahre. Da trübt das Mini-Game etwas.

Those are the craziest hits, where the drone operator tries to stay close to be able to report results of the attack, but then has to run as fast as possible due to the success of the attack.

The official release/translation is out since today

https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/viewer/1018511

Very interesting on the last panel and a huge difference to the fan translations:

spoilerWith that translation, that he is already there and not "coming", it must be Kizaru

That would be cool, or anything similar in functionality.

I had it a few times already, where I clicked on an archive.org link just to check what the source of the news/title statement is, if it's reliable and what the news date is. So to check if it's worth reading, I have to grant them a click first w/o knowing the source URL. This obviously enforces the use of clickbait titles.

With the actual source URL mentioned somehow and somewhere separately, it would be easier and quicker to evaluate. And for well known untrustworthy websites it's an easy skip and no traffic for them.
