Stable storage would be limestone. To bring it down to pre-industrial levels it would mean that each person on earth would get a cube of 5 meters a side.
IDK, build houses out of limestone like we have been doing for ages.
Notoriously secretive, siloed Apple, where even internally, teams are said to be entirely in the dark about each other’s work? I think Apple, culturally, can’t do a public post mortem no matter how much they might want to. I would love to be proven wrong on this, because I would very much like to understand what happened.
The same Apple that reset a large number of iCloud passwords last year with no warning or notice, and no public acknowledgement or explanation? It was determined after to only have affected legacy Apple IDs that predated iCloud, but there was never any confirmation from Apple.
They absolutely SHOULD; but they absolutely WON'T because they don't even think they did anything wrong (as opposed to CloudFlare who hangs their hat on the mistake).
Companies commonly claim security/anti-fraud, then refuse to explain their actions, claiming (again, without evidence) that justifying themselves would help fraudsters in some way.
But really this has nothing to do with anti-fraud, and everything to do with duopolies out of control and weak consumer protections doing nothing to push back.
That's why Google, Apple, and Microsoft are notorious for this.
UK power grid has the Eastenders effect. Where the ending credits of the Eastenders soap signals a large increase in power draw from the grid as people will put on the tea kettle at the end of the show. The grid operators have to dispatch enough power to cover for this.
While the amount of energy used to boil water at 2kW is not significantly different from 3kW (2kW has a tiny amount of more atmospheric losses I think), there is a difference for the impact on the grid. Same energy but more power generating and transmission line capacity needed.
Here's a video showing an engineer at the national grid bringing hydro-electric plants online at the closing credits of a popular soap opera in anticipation of the millions of kettle that are about to be switched on!
And what he left out of this book (and included in the memoir or in some interview) was that there was a scientific study of women in the area at the time which discovered that a very high percentage of women had birthing complications serious enough for hospitalization that went untreated as they had to go back to their chores next day and there was no hospital anywhere close.
A few years ago I was running my UDM. Wifi on 2,4GHz and 5GHz was working fine. Then after an upgrade some of my devices start losing connectivity after a while, happened multiple times a week or day. Only restart helped.
I was going mad until I discovered that only the 2,4GHz ones are losing connectivity. Then I started researching and found out that it was not just me, it was just bad code in firmware that was not fixed in any of the versions that came out before I had enough, sold the device and swore off this garbage.
Nice, that's the optimized version - sounds actually a little different than the original one it's derived from. (actually better which I didn't expect)

I like how music recognition flags it as the original Jarre piece.
I first did stuff like this when I was a teen using a 6502 machine and a synth card - using white noise to make tshhh snares etc. All coded in 6502. The bible was Hal Chamberlin's Musical Application of Microprocessors.
Then of course we had games abusing the SID etc to make fantastic tunes and then came very procedural music in size coded PC and Amiga demo coding that underneath the hood were doing tiny synth work and sequencing very much like dittytoy etc.
Shadertoy even has procedural audio but it doesn't get used enough.
Same experience, Mac and iPhone. What is also amazing is how much collateral damage it creates: the Microsoft Virtual Audio devices that it switches my macOS to, the calls that cannot be ended on my iPhone when the app hangs, etc. They somehow succeed breaking all the stuff around to.
Maybe I was a bit vague, I was replying to a general source recommendation ("The AVHerald is usually the best source for these things") with a similar comment: "in addition blancolirio is usually good too on youtube".
He has since posted a 15 min video[0] with more detail.
