Beam’s EV ARC chargers can generate and store their own electricity by harnessing renewable energy from the sun. The charging infrastructure is designed to handle extreme weather with flood-proof capabilities up to 9.5 feet and wind resistance of 125 mph.
I wonder how long this takes to charge. I assume it charges up a portable battery over time and then uses that to charge a vehicle.

What we learned from COVID? That oil is worthless in a society without consumption. That healthcare has to be public because health is public. That 50% of jobs can be done from home while the other 50% deserve more than they’re being paid. That we live in a society not an economy
I think I might get the new 12.9” iPad Pro. My iPad Air 2 is definitely showing its age.
Been reading Snow Crash on and off for a while now. I’m about 75% of the way through it 📚

Introducing InAppBrowser.com, a simple tool to list the JavaScript commands executed by the iOS app rendering the page.
Krause’s tool lets anyone investigate what might be leaking through in-app browsers. Apps that use Apple’s SafariViewController are all pretty safe, but apps like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and Facebook are using their own in-app browsers that modify pages with JavaScript.
TikTok, in particular, is monitoring all keyboard inputs and taps.
Received my 4th #covid shot today.

Many Rogers customers across Canada reported losing mobile and internet services early Friday morning, with the provider eventually confirming the issue hours later. Rogers has not yet released an update on the cause of Friday’s outage.
This is a pretty huge outage, coast to coast, even impacting 9-1-1 service.
Roe vs Wade overturned (apple news).
I truly believe we’re witnessing the downfall of America.

Version 12.1, released today, brings a brand new implementation, however, which lets you populate a template document either from your contacts or a spreadsheet.
I’ll rarely make use of this, but pretty neat/useful nonetheless.

This past week was a bad week for democratic governance and Bill C-11. The decision to race through over 100 amendments without public disclosure or debate ran counter to basic democratic norms as the public will never know what changes were proposed in those secret amendments. Now government MPs are resorting to claims of misinformation for testimony they heard directly from one-third of witnesses. The harm that causes will last long after some extra Netflix money is added to the Canadian system.
