It would have to be something like an AirTag or Tile, otherwise it would be pointless?
The only reason these are useful is because of the vast amount of phones that will report the location of the bluetooth tracker. A $10 chinese version wouldn’t work so well.
Since it was Dutch news and Dutch ship - I'm betting they used ~€5 Bluetooth tracker available in Action stores.
Not sure how different it works from Apple/Samsung trackers. But my Motorola Android phone can set it up, and phones out and about are reporting where it is.
If you’re an average citizen, “Give us a call if it happens again. Probably just kids playing a prank. Sure, we see the video, but it’s not enough to take action on.”
If you’re a wealthy citizen with some connections, “Attempted murder.”
You can also be an average citizen, or a wealthy citizen with some connections, “I’m a police officer that specifically joined the force because I really want to shoot someone. I responded to your call because I’m looking for any reason to pull my weapon.”
> Intelligent people are great at recognizing which of your ideas are half-baked and they can also be catastrophically bad at recognizing which of their own are. The smarter they are, the more elaborate the justification, the more airtight the rationalization, and the more spectacular the eventual collapse.
Thank you for this. I’ve experienced this firsthand, so it’s helpful to have an explanation.
I worked with someone who was arguably a genius. However, they were the "stupidest smart person" in many situations; specifically in the way you described. You could tell they had an "airtight rationalization," and no amount of explanation would help; you just had to wait for the eventual collapse. Very frustrating.
Before everyone else starts posting their competing products and projects, just want to say this looks cool. Nice domain name. Usually the hope is that this becomes a go-to tool for everyone. These sites are a thankless resource to the internet community.
Remember dnstools back in the day 10-15 years ago? It was so awesome. Then they crippled it by trying to monetize it? Not that they shouldn't make money. It's just hard keeping something online for so long which becomes a thankless resource.
There is nothing valuable about going to the moon. The moon is barren and nothing of value there. It takes a long time to get there, with many things that can go wrong along the way. Landing on the moon is not easy, with an incredible amount of things that can go wrong during landing, and even more that can go wrong getting off the moon and making it back to earth. Reentry to Earth alone is incredibly dangerous.
Very expensive, lots of risk, very little return.
It doesn't mean we shouldn't do it for the science discoveries, but there is a lot of opposition for why we shouldn't be spending the money on moon missions. The unfortunate part is that it doesn't mean that money goes to better use if we don't spend it on moon projects.
A ton of old batteries in one place. The batteries themselves are probably not a concern, but if something happens to the facility, then you have a ton of problems.
Security of the facility is a concern if someone can get in and walk out with an armful of laptops.
Laptops don’t scale from a stacking stand point. Sure, close the lids and line them up. Then you’ll have a lot of failures. Older laptops are intended to cool through the keyboard and top vents by the screen.
