Indian Physicist C.V. Raman died #OTD in 1970.
Using a spectrograph that he developed, he and his student K. S. Krishnan discovered that when light traverses a transparent material, the deflected light changes its wavelength and frequency. This phenomenon, a hitherto unknown type of scattering of light, was subsequently termed the Raman effect or Raman scattering. Raman received the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics. via @wikipedia
Zeekr är en ganska ny biltillverkare. De är nu framme med sin fjärde bilmodell (Zeekr 007 är senaste modellen). De tillhör samma grupp som Volvo.
I samband med att Vi Bilägare provkörde Zeekr X under hösten konstaterade de att de har en verkstad i Sverige. Med betoningen på EN. Den ligger i Stockholmstrakten. Nog verkar det lite skakigt att köpa ett sådant bilmärke!

This is why social media should be owned by all of us:
4 days ago, Musk promoted anti semitism in a tweet, and Ron DeSantis does not dare condemn it, but instead tries to claim he has not seen the tweet which is all over the mainstream media.
Think about that: A candidate for president does not dare to critizise a businessman, because that businessman controls the social media site used in his political campaign.
I have said it before: Mastodon is how we fight back.

Jag gick förbi en bil parkerad vid trottoarkanten ikväll. En trottoarkant av modellen rätvinkelt huggen sten. Ett av hjulen stod några cm uppe på trottoarkanten.
Jag fattar inte:
- Märker inte föraren att den är uppe på trottoaren?
- Kollar inte föraren något efter hur parkeringen blev?
- Är föraren inte något rädd för den totalt onödiga påfrestningen detta skapar för däck och bil i stort?

"Swedish workers are uniting against #Tesla. From tomorrow, cleaners will stop cleaning Tesla showrooms, electricians won’t fix the company’s charging points, and dockworkers will refuse to unload Tesla cargo at all Swedish ports. What started as a strike by Tesla mechanics is spreading, in something Swedish unions describe as an existential battle...The standoff in #Sweden is the biggest union action the company has faced anywhere in the world"

Quick note on my #photography stuff.
Many the photos I post here are best viewed as large (2x3' and up) prints. That's unfortunate, because large prints are expensive to produce and cumbersome to handle and display. But no current monitor can capture the resolution and viewing experience of a proper print.
I don't (currently) sell prints, but if you want one, you can generally download the full resolution version of my photos from the Flickr link and have one made at a local print shop.

Signal is a nonprofit. But what does this mean in practice? Today we do something most tech co’s avoid: talk money. What does it cost for Signal to play in a lane dominated by billion $ corporations, while rejecting the surveillance business model?
