EVs are expensive, and a key reason why is their large batteries. But a new process called dry coating achieves up to 40 percent lower cell-production cost. https://spectrum.ieee.org/dry-coating-battery?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Mastodon-Daily-Pipeline

@Mastodon Ummm… 98% + 5% is greater than 100%, that should not be possible in a poll.

@stefanoStefano Marinelli Hi, do you like open source routers ? I am working for drivers for bananapi-r64 mt7622 open source router. Would you be interested in testing?

DoD has placed active-duty soldiers with the 82nd Airborne, based at Fort Bragg, on standby for possible deployment to Minneapolis should the president invoke the Insurrection Act, reports Newsmax’s Carla Babb (a former VOA colleague who was our Pentagon correspondent).
A tangential thought to my other threads on AI: "is it possible to simulate sentience to the point that the simulation itself is sentient" is boring in an almost tautological sense if you reject Cartesian notions of dualism. Under that rejection, anything about sentience is physical, and physics can be simulated.
By contrast "could we, as humans, living with our limited knowledge and subject to reasonable resource constraints do so?" is a much more interesting question.

In 1982, a company out of New York made three golden keys and buried them. They put clues in an interactive book in the format of an Apple II program called PRISM.
The treasure has never been located, so today, All the Adventures embarks on solving the mystery.

My phone needs to be repaired and the only warranty repair outlet I can get to by public transport is over an hour away and mail in repair takes days and they won't provide a replacement for the duration but I can just order a new phone and then return it for a full refund?

Maybe you don't care about the EU's digital sovereignty. But let's be serious for a moment - the chance of getting rid of MS Teams does sound exciting, right?
@lcamtuflcamtuf 
The best opinion to have is one that's been formulated for you.
Some news, I’ll be departing the PSF as a staff member at the end of this week.
You can read a more formal announcement over at https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2026/01/ee-departing-the-psf-staff.html, but I wanted to share on socials as well.
It has been an incredible… nearly 8 years serving as the Director of Infrastructure for the Python Software Foundation, but it is time for me to do something new.
Just arrived at NOLA, launching third GMI rural county study in Warren County, MS, and the movie theme from Shaft (1971) is playing at the rental car pickup area. Another reason New Orleans is awesome. 😎

Maybe this is also a good time to consider supporting your mastodon instance.
Amazing. W (I kid you not): A bunch of VC-funded European Big Tech assholes attempting to rewrite history by erasing the federated European alternatives that already exist to create their own centralised, surveillance-ridden X clone.
Same shit, different flag.
And I’m sure the usual fools will flock to it the moment it’s ready.
Fuck these people.

Ad tech is surveillance tech. Do you need more evidence than Hootsuite partnering with ICE?
Therefore:
- Ad block is privacy
- Ad block is community safety
Better block those ads.

Dozens of charter flights labeled “ICE Air” have been departing Willow Run Airport near Ypsilanti, carrying detained immigrants to deportation hubs in Texas and Louisiana, up to three times a week in late 2025.

What I'm listening to today: "Resonator I"
"Rings" is a resonator unit for physical modeling synthesis, a technique that can be used to simulate strings, gongs, or—as this video does—if you turn the knobs to their midpoints, an otherworldly non-instrument halfway between a string and gong. This track starts with gentle plucks and then floods over with surreal metal-shimmery sounds accompanied by an ominous beat.
Biased left, so may be nicer on speakers than headphones.
What I'm listening to today: "Kaleidoscope"
This is another "substan" track. It's made entirely on the Digitone, Elektron's FM groovebox, and the youtube title claims it is "downbeat psybient". Okay. Anyway lovely little piece of electronic pop, I really like the progression on this one.

<p>Hi <a href="https://sunbeam.city/@mayel">@<bdi>mayel@sunbeam.city</bdi></a>, does Bonfire utilise the <code>sharedInbox</code> value?</p> <p>I noticed this come through my nginx logs today:</p> <p><code>128.140.127.206 - - [21/Jan/2026:19:58:04 +0000] "POST /uid/1/inbox HTTP/1.1" 500 128 "-" "https://btfree.social - Bonfire ActivityPub federation" "-"</code></p> <p><code>/uid/1/inbox</code> is an endpoint specified in my user's <code>inbox</code>, but that actor also sends <code>"endpoints":{"sharedInbox":"https://activitypub.space/inbox"}</code>, so wanted to double-check that Bonfire uses it.</p>
