If you don't yet know about it - https://media.ccc.de/ is also pretty good.


I've used ChatGPT to auto draft snotograms to these companies, I don't fight these things anymore the AI does.


Honestly, If they were to ship the VW Buzz for £30 - 40k, Id do it in a heartbeat. But it currently starts from £60k..

Currently, for me who owns an ICE car worth about 10k outright, I can't "Square" the value in buying an ev Not outright with interest payments etc.


Same reason why people watch top gear, despite having no chance of getting in a hypercar.

The production values are good, and are interesting.


Wait what, Since when has that been the rule ?

A laptop is a power bank to anything you plug into it by USB...


I think it's due to many power banks being so shitty that the chance of them catching fire in normal operation is not insignificant.

From the EASA guidelines on lithium batteries (https://www.easa.europa.eu/sites/default/files/dfu/Backgroun...):

> Also, spare batteries, including power banks, should not be recharged while on board the aircraft. Additionally, power banks should not be connected or providing power to a device while on board the aircraft.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgment_proof

In the context of contract law, debt collection and civil litigation, the term judgment proof is commonly used to refer to defendants or potential defendants who are financially insolvent, or whose income and assets cannot be obtained in satisfaction of a judgment.[1]

Being "judgment proof" is not a defense to a lawsuit. If sued, the defendant cannot claim being "judgment proof" as an affirmative defense. The term "judgment proof" instead refers to the inability of the judgment holder to obtain satisfaction of the judgment.[1]

If a plaintiff were to secure a legal judgment against an insolvent defendant, the defendant's lack of funds would make the satisfaction of that judgment difficult, if not impossible, to secure.[2]


> If a plaintiff were to secure a legal judgment against an insolvent defendant, the defendant's lack of funds would make the satisfaction of that judgment difficult, if not impossible, to secure.[2]

Even if they can't collect, wouldn't there be some significant value to the judgement, making it less of a he said/she said thing? When confronted with the allegation, it could be rebutted with the facts that you 1) sued, 2) prevailed, and 3) and are owed a lot of money.
