  • i remember these kinda discussions from a few years ago, when waterseer had a similar idea.

    how well these devices work is strongly related to how humid the air is.

    and the places where these kind of devices would actually be useful (like deserts) have very low humidity,

    to the point were there is almost no water in the air to be harvested.

    atmospheric water harvesting has only been somewhat feasible in environments that usually have better methods to get water,
    and even there they are ineficcient to the point where people consider it a scam













  • yes and no.

    I work as an it support in a small software company, so i do lots of stuff:
    data integration / migration, fixes in our legacy products & websites, and of course fixing printers.

    thats way to complicated explain in detail,
    but just saying IT support doesn’t do it justice (people just think im the guy that tells people to “turn it of and on again” if i leave it at that)

    Instead of telling people directly what i do,
    i just tell them i work in IT, this is what my company does, and i work on these products.




  • smartphones are pretty damn impressive.

    they downright make scifi gizmos like dataslates, or comunicators seem outdated.

    gps navigation arround the world,
    even without cellula reception if you have offline map data.
    and automatic navigation / route planning

    a vast array of communication services be it text sound, or video,
    one on one, as a group, or in a public forum.

    a vast sea of information on every topic immaginable.

    ever improving camera & sensor tech.

    and smartphones do it all in one device small enough to fit in your pocket.

    and i didn’t even mention the computing power & storage that oveshadows some room sized supercomputers of the past
