Maybe, their consumer-grade laptops aren’t as repairable as the ThinkPads. The article linked within the article also mentions, that they went from “F” last year to “C”.

Beside the preinstalled software, these distros also use the ‘real time’ kernel.

I hope things like hardware made by/for openwrt remain available, but it sounds like they will cease to be?

It seems like professional equipment will not be affected:

While the FCC’s Covered List makes it sound like the US is banning all “routers produced in a foreign country,” it’s defined a bit more narrowly than that. It’s specifically banning “consumer-grade routers” as defined in NIST Internal Report 8425A, which refers to ones “intended for residential use and can be installed by the customer.”

but consumer routers are a really significant security junction which historically has always been somewhat neglected.

You’re right, but simply shifting the production from overseas to US doesn’t inherently make the routers more secure. The article mentions the lack of software updates for discontinued products as a big threat that has been exploited in the past.

I only read a few sentences before the paywall stopped me,

Fortunately, there is no paywall for me. Here is the article on archive.org.

but sounds like they’ll whitelist any foreign manufacturers that are legitimate.

No, the article mentions only one exception:

Now, router makers need to A) secure a “conditional approval” that lets them keep getting new products cleared for US entry while they work to convince the government that they’ll open up manufacturing in the US, or B) make the decision to skip selling future products in the US, like dronemaker DJI already did.

It only applies to router models that aren’t approved by FCC yet. I.e., you will be able allowed to buy those (current and future) models who already have an FCC approval.

Chromium yes, but JS?

x86CSS is a working CSS-only x86 CPU/emulator/computer. Yes, the Cascading Style Sheets CSS. No JavaScript required.

The Ubuntu font family is the first that comes into my mind.

This thing seems to require the perfect conditions as well, which may prove even harder to find compared to places for pumped hydro.

I agree. It’s also a question of how many cycles the impermeability of the rock lasts.

Also incidents with water ending up in the wrong layers of rock can have dramatic consequences, as seen e.g. in Staufen in Germany. Wikipedia article (in German)

If I get it right, the ground itself is the impermeable “bladder”, as the water is pressed into rock. The rock maintains the pressure onto the water until it is being released.

Just better be safe than sorry :-)

Before you cook them, try a small piece an check that it isn’t bitter.
(Becoming bitter and poisonous can happen to any squash, cucumber or pumpkin not grown from original seed)
If it isn’t bitter, it’s fine.

Ah OK. Thank you.

According to the description on F-Droid, PipePipe has SponsorBlock, like Tubular.

So in other words: You need to have the YouTube app installed for the ReVanced patcher application to work.

At least it’s not seen as a smart move to pay for services twice, particularly not if one payment is your private data and especially not if that data is going to a big corporation like Google.

PipePipe has a Login option that NewPipe explicitly doesn’t want to implement to ensure anonymity, and thus, allows to watch restricted content.

They are neither included in standard F-Droid repos, nor Izzy, nor do they offer an F-Droid repo themself.

You can either use the direct download from their website https://revanced.app/download or from GitHub. https://github.com/revanced/revanced-manager

The latter can be imported in Obtainium.

Yes, in principle we should be talking about fuel cells here.

Yet, this referrs to this statement in the text, mentioning both, ICE and fuel cells:

That sometimes refers to hydrogen combustion engines, but more often, it’s hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, or FCEVs. Both promise motoring with only water emitted from the vehicles’ exhausts.

While this statement “no exhausts except water” holds for (low temperature) fuel cells, it doesn’t for ICEs.

Yet, for these facilities to be economically feasible, they need to run 24/7, not just when there is an excess of electricity available.
Thus, solar power plants need to be constructed e.g. in Sahara with the sole purpose of hydrogen production.
