The technology plans for these fuel cells aren’t “for now”. They’re for a future where we’ve hopefully already decarbonized most of the electric grid, as doing so is way more important than decarbonizing aviation. Converting fleets of airplanes to electric is a long process that will probably not be started for a while yet while there are more important carbon emission sources to tackle (aviation is only 2-3% of the emissions right now).

Thurott’s article on this implies that “big customers like DDG will be unaffected”. Though he also says information is scarce.
I think Teams has already taken over there as well.
I expect the trusted authorities would be selected by the server where the user account resides. I.e. if a server’s admin does not recognize a certain authority, it would not show their verifications to users logged in to their server.
It’s possible that it could extend to user selections of trusted verifiers as well, but I think implementing that level of granularity would be more of pain than it’s worth to Bluesky. Still, I could be surprised.
Revolt relies on community self hosting last I looked at it, which means it would never be a “mass” solution.
Should Discord ever collapse (something I don’t see in the near future), the free alternatives that I see benefitting would be XMPP and Matrix — though there’s new contenders that could make name for themselves by then too.
I think their plan is for it to be like how website cert verification works. You have a set of trusted authorities that issue certs (or in this case verifications) and that can revoke them if needed.
Isn’t owning the domain proof enough already?
It’s open to abuse and exploitation the same way domains are in general. An enterprising faker could register a domain that looks legit, but isn’t.
The issue is a TSMC-made chip ended up inside a Huawei processor. They’re not allowed to make chips for Huawei or other US-sanctioned entities since they use US tech inside their foundries.
What happened here is that TSMC made chips for another Chinese company that gave them to Huawei (and is now on the sanctioned list as well as a result, but wasn’t when TSMC made the chips). The problem for TSMC is if the US determines they should have reasonably known there was a risk the company they made the chips for would give them to Huawei.
How is the US gonna fine a company from Taiwan?
They use US tech in their foundries, and thus are subject to export controls to make sure sanctioned entities (like Huawei) don’t benefit from it.
From the article, it sounds like TSMC’s part in this was just negligence as Huawei used a front company to make the order for them — like a 14-year-old getting an adult to make a booze purchase. If they get fined, it seems unlikely it would be for the maximum amount.
Why do I get the feeling that the hot new thing for CEOs to do is ask AI whenever they need to make a decision. Would explain a lot.
Oracle has been the most involved player for TikTok up to this point. Trump has also floated the idea of being government-owned.
The market wasn’t expecting the tariffs to be as insane as they were — which is why it crashed. They had been expecting 10% maximums, not minimums.
Thunderbird’s corp (MZLA) does not get Google money so far as i’m aware. It is a different subsidiary corp from Firefox’s Mozilla Corp.
Yes. I’m assuming they mean W-OLED (the other kind of OLED) when they say OLED. Or else they meant to say uLED.
The Asus BT8 has recently had support added in snapshots.
DRM-laced streaming apps sadly makes that unlikely.
Orion will be restricted to Apple ecosystems, no?
This was my first thought as well. Both sodium hydroxide and sodium bicarbonate seem like they could have a signficant environmental impact. We’d need some good studies on that before committing to this idea, I think.
