We already have the panel type which is glued on. But I guess it remains to be seen whether there’s a financial incentive to mass produce this.

Weight does play a huge role for satellites and to be honest I have very little knowledge of solar panels they use. However since solar sail is a thing, I’d argue surface is indeed a factor with satellites. But perhaps they managed to get some use there. There might be even other use cases I just didn’t think about. My original comment was mostly pointing out that thickness was rarely as big of an issue as it was efficiency.
Kind of like these? Flexible solar panels are not a problem. And no, being newspaper thin will never be stronger than mounted on rigid surface. If it bends it has a definite limit in number of times you can bend it.
As for “printing a newspaper” and rapid production, when I see it I’ll believe it. At the moment it’s nothing more than speculation as they themselves have not made it yet. Every manufacturing process starts slow and then speeds up as process is optimized. The problem is whether there is a financial incentive to start producing in the first place.
Which would all be a valid concern if you had to carry them all the time or bend them. There are flexible solar panels which you can glue on roof of your boat or car though.
If you dream of covering a vehicle with panels and have it driven by that power, I have to burst your bubble. That’s not even nearly enough surface to generate enough power. Perhaps assist in trickle charging battery, sure. But we already have flexible panels, even self-adhesive ones. And again, their biggest downside is not their thickness but efficiency. There will never be a self-propelled vehicle. Just a nature of things.
As for window blinds, etc. There is already glass that lets enough light through and can generate electricity. Those are even worse when it comes to efficiency due to non-ideal angle, light passing through, etc.
Never underestimate Mosad.
People tried to boycott Israel-made products and then realized there are far too many of them.
This has its own applications but I can’t say I’ve ever heard anyone complain about thickness of solar panels. Efficiency, power generated, etc. Sure.
Site is 9to5mac. Did people seriously expected objective reporting? Yes, we stole a device with less inflated retail price. Oh gosh whatever should we do… I know lets go back and incriminate ourselves even more.
Even if it’s similar names I’d normally plug in USB, do dmesg
, then issue a command with latest device name.
HP Prime, king of all. Or if you prefer open source NumWorks.
It’s been a while since I rooted Samsung device.
If I remember correctly just “unlocking” doesn’t trip Knox. However installing custom boot or rom, does.
That’s what I meant, for commercial use, sure. But not for private, ever.
For some use cases, sure. Personally I can’t remember when was the last time I reached for old backups to dig something up.
I can understand needing this tech for court records and similar stuff. Even for libraries which desire to store everything in the world. But that’s about it. I don’t think many people go to old backups and see their old documents or code they wrote. Photos, sure, but even that is not a frequent thing.
Removal is probably possible by just burning trash over real data. But identifying what needs to be burned. Ouch.
0, it’s write once read anytime you feel brave enough to dig through 10000TB of data.
More like, it would take 8 days of constant sun to have an hour of driving.
