Maybe what you are noticing is the "laptop on lap" detection? Check the bios, there was a "cool when on lap detected" mode on mine. Turn that off and re-test.

No, energy density is way below Lixx chemistry. Not suitable.

Those are grid tie inverters, they cannot/will not output if no grid is present.

E.g. the emergency braking is mandatory for new cars; https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20190410IP...

Could this mean you could get problems as this car does not conform to the standard?

It also does not conform to the reference cars which were used to acquire the type approval.

The castings and frame are incredibly strong. Or in other words; when those are damaged, the rest of the car is likely beyond economical repair. Even without insurance. Tear it appart for parts.

From an engineering perspective I would ask: Can your sensor package understand the environment to the required (low) failure rate?

Radar/Lidar/Ultrasonic is going to give you information that your camera systems will not give you. It does not matter if the delta of information is little. If this little is required because you can't obtain it otherwise, you still need it.

If you just rely on the fleet, you rely on the things you have seen. What about the objects that you have not yet seen?

It makes a difference if you make it available to the average joe with limited technical understanding or not.

You can't change the NSA, but you can resuce the amount of abuse.

It's the same with guns, USA vs Europe for example.

Just take a look at countries where they have a working bike infrastructure like Denmark or the Netherlands and adapt it your your country. (Also, separated bike lanes)

The article seems to imply that there is a standard revenue/fraud curve.

But what if there isn't such a static condition and you could jump to a less fraud (higher revenue) situation with different technical measures? So changing the revenue/fraud curve.

Like: 2fa (like an app confirmation) based on heuristics?

Yes, the fundamental statement is the same, but you changed the existing "rules"

A Dell T110-II with a quad core xeon and 4x4GB RAM and and a 3.5" HDD idles around 21W. It really depends on the systems.

No info how to host this myself? I thought the top goal was to host the crap yourself so you don't have to load from google.

how about openwrt/openwisp?

after some time it's fairly easy. E.g. if you know it has a 4 core cpu, you're just looking for the same area four times.

Every thought about all the things besides personal computers and smartphones?

Embedded applications, energy limited (battery, power harvesting) devices, IoT, other resource constrained devices?

I also doubt that more processing = more security.
