I fed the technical data of my motorcycle into the model and it told me right away that this build would destroy a real engine because the piston speed would be too great. The real…

For me, it's the European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). It is intended to reduce/recycle waste from shipping packages. The eyebrow-raising part is that each coun…

The cars I know lock their doors automatically when they go at a certain speed (e. g. mine does at 20 km/h). Doesn't yours?

Maybe it's intended to help with calculations. For comparison, the German BBK recommends a emergency stock to last ten days.

Amazing! The DTMF sounds look like the pins on the barrel of a music box. I am intrigued, I wouldn't ever have pictured them like that.

Thank you for the article! I found the "I understand computers and therefore the world" in the beginning a bit pretentious, but after reading the rest anyway, it doesn't anymore. I…
