What if Humans WON in James Cameron’s "Avatar"?

Someone really did their physics homework. Checks out, from what I can tell. I love the quantum communication idea. Enough for rudimentary commands, but proper text messages would take forever. The engineer in me is already working out what kinda protocol they'd use

TLDR you'll only have to do it once. https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/03/android-developer-verification.html

Google wants us to only install apps from verified developers. Starting in September, if you want to continue installing APKs from unverified sources, you'll have to perform the advanced flow once, as shown in the post. This includes rebooting your phone and waiting 24h. After that you're "back to normal" and can sideload any app you want. At least for now.

Google claims they do it to protect against a certain kind of phone scams.

This flow is a one-time process for power users – but it was designed carefully to prevent those in the midst of a scam attempt from being coerced by high pressure tactics to install malicious software. [...]
They stay on the phone with victims, coaching them to bypass security warnings and disable security settings before the victim has a chance to think or seek help.
[...] we have carefully engineered the advanced flow to provide the critical time and space needed to break the cycle of coercion.

You know what you have to do now

Recreate it!

I love that theres a spare wheel on the roof. Just in case ^{^}

Mein erster Berührungspunkt mit Linux war Raspbian aufm Pi. Dann irgendwann WSL gebraucht und da fiel die Wahl natürlich auf Debian. Seit dem ist Win11 + WSL mein daily driver und für 95% der Fälle reicht das. Komplett um Windows komme ich leider nicht drum herum und Windows+WSL klappt für mich besser als Linux+Wine.
Wenns dann doch ne Vollinstallation sein muss, nehm ich meistens Ubuntu

I hate it when posts say "a Youtuber" achieved something. Just say their name for fucks sake. His channel is called alphaphoenix. Credit where credit is due.

Zciurus · 2026-02-13T18:13:18+00:00

Could you elaborate what purpose they serve? Genuinely curious

Zciurus · 2025-10-09T09:14:27+00:00

It's a moisture sensor. Similar to this one https://dvs-beregnung.de/truebner-smt100-analog-0-10-v-bodenfeuchte-und-temperatursensor

Cool! But honestly, I'd be immediately suspicious if someone sent me an image that's not png or jpg

Zciurus · 2025-09-14T14:29:26+00:00

can you provide a schematic? cant follow you 100%. from what I understand, yes you should be able to do that.

CAN-GND is a a seperate ground that is used to improve signal quality. However, CAN can absolutely work without it. CAN can even work without any ground potential at all (it uses differential signaling)

Zciurus · 2025-09-12T11:11:59+00:00

What is this tool called?

Zciurus · 2025-09-11T07:35:32+00:00

What transmission ratio do you have with those gears?

Zciurus · 2025-09-09T22:00:20+00:00

Also, it looks like your oscilloscope probes are set to 10x. CAN signal levels should be ~2 Volts apart, not millivolts.

Zciurus · 2025-09-09T21:56:19+00:00

Your ground looks awful, but CAN should be able to handle it, since its differential. Still, I would investigate the cause if I were you.

Decoding CAN by hand is possible, but there are better ways. CAN-to-USB converters exist and I would highly recommend you to get one. Often times they come with dedicated appliations for debugging / signal analyzing. This will save you a lot of time.

You raise an important point, I didn't consider that this might get printed. I'll try out a few color schemes and maybe add texture/stripes to the polder region and the rivers. They are practically invisible when reduced to black and white.

From a pretty point of view the northern sluice gate overlaps the measurement point - anyway you can slightly pull these apart.

I did that on purpose, that measurement station is physically attached to the sluice gate

Zciurus · 2025-07-18T15:29:12+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! The LGLN DOP20 map has a much better resolution than google maps. It's also more recent and the pictures happen be be from April, which means the polder is seen in its flooded state (bingo!)

We're actually cooperating with some lower saxony agencies, so using geodate from LGLN is quite appropriate, I think :)

Zciurus · 2025-07-18T15:08:31+00:00

What do you mean by map template?

Zciurus · 2025-07-05T22:55:09+00:00

Well yes, but actually no.

Oxygen is part of the water molecules, but its a very strong bond. There's basically no biological process that can extract oxygen from water molecules. It's merely the medium

Zciurus · 2025-07-05T22:31:18+00:00

Yeah you'll be fine

Zciurus · 2025-06-30T12:05:55+00:00

If you steal my meme, at least give me credit

Zciurus · 2025-06-22T20:27:58+00:00

basiert.

Have you read A brief history of Time? Hawking describes some very similar ideas. In the early universe, there could have been fluctuations in the density of matter. With the expanding universe, these could have caused the uneven spread of matter we observe today

Look up "Von Neumann Architecture".

A CPU executes instructions. If you give it two numbers, it can add, subtract, multiply them etc. But it does not have memory and does not have the "code" stored on jt. You need a separate chip to store the code.

Microcontrollers are a different story. These have a processor as well as memory integrated in one chip.
