Maybe we can use the goop from those self sealing bike tires to have self sealing space station modules

They were never stranded.

But it's the same scheme as STM32, EFM32, GD32, …

Yes and those schemes are just as bad as Espressif's

Those are still standing in the lobby of the Computer Science Department of FU Berlin (Takustraße 9)

You are probably referring to Zuse Institute Berlin which is the building right next to it.

I'm not quite convinced a 25% reduction in size is worth effectively obsoleting all devices that have hardware decoders for AV1 but will struggle to decode AV2

Modern video services perform multiple encodings with different codecs, bitrates and screen dimensions, and serve up the most appropriate format that the client device can decode. Youtube has hundreds of format variants:

Devices with AV1 hardware decoding - rare as they are - won't be obsoleted for a long time.

Even devices that don't aren't becoming obsolete. My M1 macbook does not have a hardware decoder and youtube seems to choose AV1 whenever it's available. The software decoder does not noticeably warm the laptop.

When you host videos with near 17 billion views you're going to want to stream those videos in as few bits as possible:

That extra 25% becomes worth it.

Nothing will become obsolete. AV1 will stick around for a long time. And YouTube still does H.264 encodes to support old devices.

A new codec doesn't obsolete old devices. At least, not right away.

Studios still release new dvds with mpeg2 video. Online videos tend to be available in many codecs. Video conferencing tends to negotiate to best available or has settled on ancient codecs and won't change quickly.

Same comment, same wording was had when going from H.264/AVC to H.265/HEVC and again to AV1. Across the board it's 30% better Size vs Quality and with an X amount increase in compute required to encode and decode.

Each time these standards were put into ink, they were years from being practical.

The methane is not mixed with oxygen when it's still in the rocket tank, so it can't all explode - most of it will just burn off.

It's still a big boom, but not anywhere close to what world occur with optional mixing.

The side of the rocket failing appears to have allowed a lot of that mixing to occur after the initial fire.

I mean there was this CCC [0] talk two years ago where they managed to get access to the poorly secured location data of all the cars, including historic movement patterns.

I would have expected a LEGO version of the SMEE machine

Great, now we've got digital Salvia

If NATO still exists by then.

If Poland is attacked then Germany will deploy troops there. Whether NATO exists or not.

Which troops?

NATO would have to collapse before the midterms or the current POTUS' natural death - whichever came first.

I find that unlikely.

It's ridiculous that the German government now has to officially state "Please ignore the letter of the law, we didn't mean it that way."

That is the main problem with it. It shows the incompetence of our legislative procedures.
