Thus science beginning to answer the questionâŠ
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell?
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
Crikey this vid feels like it was made a century ago.
Uh⊠uh oh: yes and noâŠ
Not gonna lie - I have to stop and think for a moment each time
In 1884, inventor George Cove posed in front of an early rooftop solar panel of his own design for a photograph. One hundred and twenty five years later, the resulting image was reprinted in the official journal of the USâ most prestigious research institute â but Cove was nowhere to be seen.
Using a range of sources such as newspaper archives and historic city maps, Bellingcat sought to establish the seeming mystery of Coveâs âdisappearanceâ from the photograph. This analysis of archival material from the pioneering days of solar energy tells a cautionary tale about the ease of misattributing historic photos.
Helsinki spying hotspots?
Russia has been making big claims about Finnish intelligence, reports Ilta-Sanomat (IS). Russian channels RT and Rossija24 both reported that Supo has been trying to recruit Russian embassy workers at various locations in Helsinki.
Among the claims is that staff at various service businesses in the capital have passed information about workers to Finnish intelligence.
IS sets out to test those claims, asking at various locations for comment. A travel agency refused to say anything, while a dog daycare business was a little more forthcoming.
The doggy daycare was supposedly a target for an officer from Britainâs MI6. The Russian reports claim that an alleged officer brought his own mutt to be looked after in the hope of meeting Russian embassy staff.
Workers at the kennel service said they were amused by the claims, as they have âhundredsâ of British customers and were curious as to who the supposed agent might be.
The claims themselves were given short shrift: owners do not really interact with each other and donât receive information about other customers. The information the business is interested in relates mostly to the dogs, which may be of limited use to espionage practitioners.
Hah, thatâs what you think! Donât you know the Russian embassyâs password reset process requires using the name of your pet as a security question?
Fierce, yet slow, animals.
BBC News - British Museum worker sacked over missing items
Fascinating! (And relevant to my interests.)
Just think about it. Solar panels at a time when the contest between electric powered cars and ICE powered cars had not been decided yet.
The world could look so much different now.
Donât sleep on a device, power adapter, or wireless charger, or place them under a blanket, pillow, or your body, when itâs connected to a power source.
âNext toâ as in, on your bedside table, is fine.
They warn that using a cheap 3rd-party charger increases the risks.
Iâll pass on that flight thank you very much.
