If you want some in-depth technical details on how VORs work, I found this video very helpful. It goes into many of the details of the analog radio engineering:
Here is a German company that created a device where you can donate by putting cash into the collection bag or by swiping your card. You can even change the amount by turning the handle.
Yes, you are right. I had not seem the price tag when I posed the question. This product is for merchant ships or yachts and does not make any sense for small boat owners.
Is anything know about the power consumption of the Starlink antenna? Does the maritime version use less power than the conventional unit?
The fixed-location version of Starlink consumes around 60 to 100 W constantly which is problem if you want to e.g. use solar panels on a sail boat to supply the device.
InvoicePlane is a superb tool that I regularly use for writing, sending and tracking of the invoices that I send to my clients: https://invoiceplane.com/
This reminded me of a project by Sun Microsystems called Project Wonderland. They created a virtual world in which you could attend meetings and look at slides together with other avatars – although this was not in VR.
If you want to know exactly what Volkswagen did in their software for the emission control unit, I recommend this talk from last week's Chaos Communication Congress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZSU1FPDiao
Wow, I had the very same idea. But everyone I told the idea basically said: "email is a horrible protocol stack, you don't want to build anything on top of it" or just something like "email is dead". I still think it is good idea.
As far as I can tell, it should have worked like this: The devices would turn on at approx. 3 am and then draw a current from the power outlet. Someone at the power plant would then look at the Watt meter and from the reading they would know what the outcome was.
