I didnt even think about it, but looking it up „a European“ is correct. It‘s not about the letter, but the sound.

Thats false! There is already a link to the wikipedia article, but here is the relevant quote: „but uses hardware restrictions or digital rights management (DRM) to prevent users from running modified versions of the software on that hardware.“

It is not a violation of the GPL 2, the license of the Linux kernel, but only the GPL 3 which was basically created for this case. Linus Torvalds is a big defender of the GPL 2 and said that Tivo provided good patches for the hardware they used.

For everyone interested in the topic there is an English version of a German electric trucking channel: https://youtube.com/@electrictrucker.

TLDR; Every major truck company has an electric truck for sale, they have the same daily range in Europe and are significantly cheaper to operate.

He is a startup found turned truck driver who does weekly vlogs about his work and gives good insights about the current state of electric trucking in Europe. At the moment every large trucking company (not just Tesla) have electric trucks on sale and the company he is working for bought quite a few from different companies. He gets day ranges of 750km with the right traffic conditions and also just charges in his 45min breaks which you have to take every 3.5h I believe. Also the daily driving is limited to 10h and the maximum speed limit is 80 kph, so the theoretical maximum range of a single driver truck in Europe is a little bit above 800km. That puts electric truck right now on par with diesel trucks, because you cant always drive the at the maximum speed limit. Also he calculated once that electric trucks are roughly 30% cheeper.

No legal advice, but I am pretty sure picking an apple from a tree in a public space (but can be privately owned) for direct consumption is legal in Germany. Weird but understandable that you need a law for that.

The electric automobile is as old as the automobile itself. However back then batteries were way way worse, so the combustion engine won the race back then.

This is cool, however I don’t like that the result is a fixed value. I don’t think a person could take this test and reliably get the same result. This would be a good situation to use a logistic regression.

I know that this was probably a joke, but here is how the full curve looks like:

(As in the original post mind the logarithmic scale on y-axis)

I only watched the German version, but I never knew that the character was based on a real person.

Has anyone tried it? I am thinking about using it on some Raspberry Pi 5.
