Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could slash costs of solar panels: 'Has the potential to contribute to the energy transition'

Jump

  • Would a UV filtering lens help? Do solar cells generate more power from certain parts of the light spectrum?

    • Please seed !! Public torrents need your help

    Jump

  • I haven't tried it yet, but I've seen massive lists of trackers floating around that you can add to your torrents, in case the same torrent is indexed on other trackers, but the torrent file you downloaded doesn't know to search them.

    • Poilievre to hike TFSA contribution limit by $5K for those who invest in Canadian companies

    Jump

  • Devil's advocate: the better question is what percentage of Canadians will eventually max out their TFSA?

    I don't think it's a good policy anyway, as the administrative overhead of managing yet another registered investing account (or making TFSA reporting more complicated) is more hassle than it's worth.

  • I can think of easier ways of compromising the data besides brute forcing the keys, off the top of my head, and I'm just some schmuck. Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/538/

    1. Compromise their endpoint with a malicious app on the app store.
    2. Gain physical access to the device and compromise it. Use your imagination – pickpocket, traffic stop or customs inspection by a compromised agent, seduce them with a honeypot, etc.
    3. Socially engineer them to mistakingly add you to their group chats.
    4. SIM swap

    Signal might be fine for journalists, criminals, cheating spouses, and general privacy when used properly with good OpSec but nation state adversaries have significantly greater resources than your average attacker, and thus require more significant security.

    • Diplomacy dies on live TV as Trump and Vance gang up to bully Ukraine leader

    Jump

  • If trump starts sending people to gas Chambers and murdering races he didn’t like, I’ll be there with you screaming ‘nazi Hitler’ at the top of my lungs

    When I call Trump and Musk Nazis, I'm not talking about concentration camps or genocide as with 1940 Nazis either. I'm referring to 1933 Nazis which were using demonization of others, attacking independent media, and The Big Lie to consolidate power. These are what made the Holocaust possible.

  • When I call Republicans "Nazis" I'm referring to 1933 Nazis, not 1942 Nazis. Disappointingly but unsurprisingly, many seem to not know the difference.

    • Canadian woman loses both hands after shark encounter in Turks and Caicos

    Jump

  • The 55-year-old Canadian tourist, who remains unnamed, attempted to “engage with the animal from the shallows in an attempt to take photographs”

    Shark attacks are extremely rare, but don't actively fuck with them.

  • Head's up – there's a law firm which many on RFD are talking about being served demand letters from, after repeated warnings were ignored.

    Don't worry though, the demand letters are largely baseless and unenforceable, especially since the SCoC ruled last year that service bill payers are not responsible for the actions of their network users.

    • Bill Burr calls on 'billionaires to be put down like rabid dogs' in podcast

    Jump

  • Why's he saying that? Because he believes in a better world rather than acting out of self interest. Plenty of high net worth and high income individuals advocate for higher taxation. I know I'd rather live in a world where the hungry are fed and the people are housed, rather than have an extra 10% of my income each year.

  • It's not like he's "give a Nazi salute to millions of viewers and nothing of consequence happens" rich.

    • Is it moral to vandalize Teslas?

    Jump

  • No, much like staging a coup of the U.S. government and threatening the sovereignty of free nations, it's unethical, and the punishment should be proportional to the punishment for those offenses, according to severity.
