Tech Xplore[^]:
Researchers at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics, Linköping University, have for the first time demonstrated an organic battery. It is of a type known as a 'redox flow battery," with a large capacity that can be used to store energy from wind turbines and solar cells, and as a power bank for cars.

I thought that's what you got after beans and sauerkraut for lunch

Kind of reminds me something... [^] Unsure | :~

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I don't know about voltage...
but if we say resistance could be taken as stubbornness, then I am close to an open circuit Wink | ;)

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

Microsoft reckons experimental architecture CHERI would have had a big impact on the number of bugs fixed in 2019.

Feel free to use it anytime now then

In order to fix a big number of bugs, you have to have them first...

Ohhh, wait. I think I get it,
they are just sowing the system with bugs so that they can celebrate the good work of their CHERI architecture, when they finally use it?

New research reveals that IT and cloud teams spend 44 percent of their time on routine work, just keeping things running, at a cost of $4.8 million a year.

A new week, a new emergency. Same-old, same-old.

Following next:
an AI could do that job faster, better and cheaper...

or...
from that 44% of time, the half of it could be avoided if there were not so many burocracy and ~~idiotic~~ decissions by people without a clue.

Google warns of severe 'BleedingTooth' Bluetooth flaw in Linux kernel

And yet I'm supposed to fill a paragraph each day in the tracking report without making it sound like I do the same things every day. Which I do, of course. The project is in the sustainment phase. Nothing new or exciting.

Good to know that Bluetooth is a problem for everyone

Evaluating risk in an application

14-Oct-20 20:28

As expected...
now that linux gets more attention, it starts to appear in the news due to bugs and security problems.

Now the question is...
does it happens because there are more people using it and it gets more interesting for the attackers?
or is it just the logical consequence of MS including Linux in Windows that the problems spread like a virus?

Jozef Jarosciak just put millions of early Usenet posts on a browsable archive for the first time.

Sadly, 1.1 million of them are, "What's this Usenet thing?"

And another 300,000 are, "ASL?"

Microsoft researchers have built an artificial intelligence system that can generate captions for images that are, in many cases, more accurate than the descriptions people write.

But it's still not doing blurbs yet, is it? Is it?!
