@0x1DECAF I also heard that card machines weren't working, so restaurants and cafes started writing down peoples' names and phone numbers, asking them to come back to pay the next day. Shows that the outage caused a moral dilemma for many people. I wonder how many went back to pay.

@safaar99 This seems to me to be a cash grab. Subscriptions for movie streaming services are perfectly logical. But when people are dropping $ tens of thousands on a car with working heated seats, it's absurd to make them pay extra to use them. Interesting article: https://t.co/NpxV4XPC0y

#ENGR392CC We've all seen solar panels installed onto rooftops, but what about roads made of solar cells which are engineered to support the weight of cars? Could this be a new wave of municipal energy generation? https://t.co/4PUeXKvdTc

#ENGR392CC Smart baby monitors are meant to measure a baby's heart rate and blood oxygen levels to reassure parents that the baby is healthy in the night. But amid false alarms and inaccuracies, they seem to be doing more harm than good.

#ENGR392CC The infiltration of micro-plastics in every ecosystem in the world is a huge issue, because the rate of plastic production greatly exceeds the rate of plastic degradation. Could plastic-eating micro-robots be the solution?

#ENGR392CC Due to global warming, the Arctic is currently stuck in a positive feedback loop of melting ice, causing less white surface to reflect sunlight, causing more melting ice. Could these powder-like glass balls mimic snow and slow the melting?

#ENGR392CC With the rise of YouTube came a new, subtle form of child labour: family vlogging. It consists of filming children on a daily basis, stripping them of their privacy and profiting off them. Is family vlogging exploitative? https://t.co/eC7A3p9oIX

#ENGR392CC A perfect example of a technology which is fundamentally neutral but used for both good and bad: airtags. For instance, they can be used for good to track lost luggage, but they can be used for bad to stalk people. https://t.co/J0lNnSmeHc, https://t.co/i3MJKsk5ij

#ENGR392CC Attaching a dash cam to their cars have proved the innocence of many drivers during car accidents, particularly in court cases. Do you think it's worth it to install a dash cam? https://t.co/Mr7J4XJqX1

@Engr392Jonny This is very interesting. I think it would be a fascinating project to execute out of curiosity and not out of necessity, but seeing as how the human destruction of Earth is not slowing down, we may soon resort to such drastic measures as creating backup habitable planets.
