The key is switching from gasoline technology to home battery technology. Yes, there are a few disadvantages to battery technology (like you can’t just fill it back up), but in the main, battery generator technology opens the door to, literally, opening the door and bringing that generator inside your house. As someone who’s lived through multiple week-long power outages in Florida, and a recent set of shorter outages due to wild fires in Oregon, I’m very interested in battery generators as an option....

Let’s put this project into context. Resin printers are different from filament printers. Filament printers extrude filament through a hot end, melting the filament to form layers. Resin printers create layers by exposing a chemical compound, which hardens where the light hits the resin. Also: Hands on with resin 3D printers: We put the Elegoo Mars, Mars Pro, and Zortrax Inspire to the test I’ve subjected each candidate machine to a series of performance and quality tests....

The sales, which took place across the second calendar quarter, added $936 million in cash to its balance sheet and were reported as a negative impairment, Tesla said in its Q2 earnings report. Over the past year, Bitcoin prices peaked at about $67,000 in November 2021 and at the end of June 2022 were trading at just under $20,000. SEE: Elon Musk: Tesla should produce over 1.5 million cars in 2022 Tesla in February 2021 reported it had purchased $1....

Musk emailed the ultimatum to his remaining staff, demanding a commitment to “be extremely hardcore” and display “exceptional performance”, or hand in their resignation by 5pm EST (10pm GMT). The subject line was, “A Fork in the Road”. “Going forward, to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore. This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade,” Musk wrote in an email seen by The Guardian and the Washington Post....

Let’s be real: Regular vacuums are cumbersome. You have to drag it out of your closet or garage, strategize about which outlet to plug it into, and think twice about whether or not you’ll be disturbing your housemates. The HomeVac H11 isn’t silent, and definitely doesn’t replace a full-fledged sucker, but it’s a more convenient and efficient tool for minor spills and tough-to-reach spaces. Plus, if your housemates do notice when it’s in action, they’ll be more impressed than distressed....

According to Microsoft, the issues began at the start of the month after a certificate expired on October 31. For users of the locked down S mode variant of Windows, there could be an extra dose of pain as the start menu itself, the accounts page, and landing page in settings may also be impacted. Microsoft said it would automatically push an update to affected devices, but it noted the patch would still leave the snipping tool and S mode impacts unaffected....

Facebook, alongside WhatsApp and Instagram, suffered a global outage on Monday, October 4 that began at approximately 11:44 EDT and dragged on well into the afternoon. The social media giant’s services were back online as of 17:28 EDT. SEE: A cloud company asked security researchers to look over its systems. Here’s what they found In a subsequent blog post, Facebook’s VP of infrastructure, Santosh Janardhan, said the outage had been caused by a technical issue affecting its Border Gateway Protocol (BCP) routing system, which had “a cascading effect on the way our data centers communicate, bringing our services to a halt....

Jest is one of Meta’s top open-source projects and has proven a popular tool for testing JavaScript projects, particularly those built in React, another popular JavaScript library created at Facebook, which open-sourced it in 2013. Facebook introduced Jest as an open-source project in 2014, but it was created in 2011 when Facebook’s chat feature was rewritten in JavaScript. SEE: Software skills will get you far, but you don’t have to be a coder to make it big in tech In 2017, Facebook bowed to concerns over licensing Jest and React under the BSD+Patent license and moved them to an MIT license....

According to the FBI, ransomware groups are using events like mergers and acquisitions to target companies and force them into paying ransoms. “Prior to an attack, ransomware actors research publicly available information, such as a victim’s stock valuation, as well as material nonpublic information. If victims do not pay a ransom quickly, ransomware actors will threaten to disclose this information publicly, causing potential investor backlash,” the FBI wrote. “Ransomware actors are targeting companies involved in significant, time-sensitive financial events to incentivize ransom payment by these victims....

Smart devices and voice will be as revolutionary as the smartphone Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying the HomePod will make up more of Apple’s revenue than the iPhone any time soon. According to AAPL’s fiscal Q3 2020 Consolidated Financial Statements, the iPhone accounts for 4 times the revenue of the entire wearables, home and accessories category (of which the HomePod is no doubt a part): $26.418 billion - iPhone$13....

When I asked what he planned to do next, de Icaza told me “I am going to rest while the kids are in school” and later vacation with them. “Living in this industry is like the kid at the candy store - too many things are happening and there are too many choices. So I want to spend some time sampling some of the candy, and then deciding which one I want to buy a pound of,” de Icaza said....

As Fujitsu executive officer, EVP, and global services business group head Tim White described during the ServiceNow Knowledge 22 Sydney event on Wednesday, the company may be a global organisation, but it did not necessarily build out like one. “We started as a product-based organisation and like many product-based global organisations, we expanded almost like a franchise [through] a country-based model, so we have regions and countries,” he said. “What basically happened was what each country had in common was this ability to basically build their own services portfolio around this, but those portfolios and the services behind that – the systems – were not connected....
