Key quote: „Terraform says its system converts clean electricity into hydrogen at less than $2.50 per kilogram of H2 (currently, green hydrogen ranges from $5-11 per kilogram, Handmer estimated).”

This shows that no one is immune to #cyberattack 😉 The funny thing is that all of this was due to misconfiguration of web server so this was basically their fault 😅 That’s quite a shame for a foundation that is branding itself as experts in #cybersecurity 😅

[Exclusive] Apple iPhone SE 4 CAD renders suggest new design, similar to iPhone 14
https://www.91mobiles.com/hub/exclusive-apple-iphone-se-4-cad-renders-new-design/
———
As a CAD engineer, I can say that such a „render” can be done in about 5 minutes, so I do not expect it to be a real leak 😉 However, I would not be surprised if this render was real, because larger case manufacturers must get 3D models in advance to make products for a new lineup 🤔

3D printing on higher level! I am not convinced about the possibility of obtaining a structure corresponding to normal steel in this way, but it is certainly better than printing based on plastics. I have to follow this experiment, because it can give insanely interesting results.
