    I believe mailbox.org is all renewable, and I’m pretty sure it’s solar.

    But you need a massive battery bank to run stuff, batteries have a limited lifespan (especially the crap used in a UPS).

    It’s not cheap, you generally want to overbuild everything, and there are ongoing costs (hardware failures, batteries, etc).

    But it can be done. Just have to do the math for your max power draw, then how much uptime you need determines the size of your battery bank and number of panels (which is influenced by how much sun you get/how consistent it is). You need enough panels to run your system and charge batteries, given the limitations of sun availability.



  • CAD

    Catia

    User retraining (imagine retraining 10,000 employees, and then the lost productivity you’d still have). Oh, and this assumes which shell, which distro?

    Excel, with tables.

    The thousands (millions?) of automated processes that export/import from Excel, and have done so for years.

    CNC systems that will only run on older versions of Windows, and for which the company no longer exists and there’s no reolacement. I once worked with CNC machines with controllers that ran on paper tape. They’re probably still running today.

    Ooh, here’s one - battery management on a laptop, that’s only adjustible from a command prompt in Linux.




  • I recently switched my cell service to JMP.chat, which pipes your SMS into XMPP (it’s brilliant, SMS is no longer tied to a physical device or SIM). I still get spam sms, but it’s far less an issue.

    Plus I can pop any Sim into my phone and it has no affect on my phone number that’s with JMP. That all remains in XMPP, and the new SIM would just provide a different data connection (and it’s own number with its own voice and SMS).





  • Reading the supposed plagiarism, I’m skeptical. It looks like phrasing that’s commonly used.

    It’s like saying “the wall was painted white” is plagiarism because someone else said it first.

    It’s not like he copied paragraphs and claimed them as his own. He used phrases that seem to be a standard way of describing something in the field.

    For example:

    The line at 2.3.2. Moral Patiency

    “On this definition, all moral agents are also moral patients, but not all moral patients are moral agents

    that seems to originate from here:https://quizlet.com/348405454/ethics-exam-3-flash-cards/ as

    “All moral agents are moral patients, but not all moral patients are moral agents.”

    “He then reflects upon how culture determines the moral status of all entities”

    that also originates from a flashcard: https://quizlet.com/10587400/ethics-flash-cards/

    That it’s claimed the origin is a flashcard (and therefore plagiarism) means it is a standard phrase within the field, so standard that it’s taught using a flashcard.
