Why not make Hue lights with a speaker so they can make cool sounds. Like for example it could make that industrial sound, or scream "oh my god I'm on fire" when you turn it on. When you turn it off it will say "goodnight son I love you and am proud of you and you are back in the will" so Siri doesn't have to.

Also, when everything is inevitably hacked from the Internet of lovely Things with Even Shittier Security, hackers can force blood curdling screams to play at 2 in the morning and wake you up and have the neighbors call the cops. Uptick in paranormal investigation business though.

If a hacker reprograms all of my incredibly ill advised lovely chinese Hue knockoffs and just fucks with me by playing the Shodan hacker bits at me while flickering the lights at 3 am, I'd honestly be impressed.

Pro-tip: replace your haul truck tyres when they need replacing because keeping a truck out of service to deal with this poo poo is thousands of dollars every hour.

I understand that they shot this one from a standoff distance of about 300m and let it slowly deflate.

The story I heard from a guy who worked at the mine (coal mine in South Africa) was that the mine super was notoriously cheap and would try to squeeze extra hours out of machinery before necessary maintenance. So the tyre should have been rotated out for retreading long before this, but instead the outer layer delaminated off the carcass and jammed it against the drive wheel.

Don't know about this one but typically the tread and the casing seperate and allow air into the newly created void. The tread isn't designed to hold pressure and you wind up with what you see here. For haul trucks, it'd be costing more than a few thousand an hour since you'd need to find some other route for your remaining haul trucks to use while they tidy up this one. Spoiler: if this has happened, it will be One Of Those Days(tm), and there won't be another route and your pit will have to sit idle.

It looks hot as gently caress in that city, and it looks like the middle east somewhere, so I'm gonna guess it's a functional choice.

The Holland Windmill Association has discovered that the bolts in a certain construction of windmill sails/blades cannot quite handle the constant stress put upon them during operation. 48 windmills in the country are built with this specific construction. They may no longer operate until their blade construction has been completely replaced. A windmill blade ripping and flying off would be somewhat dangerous.

Replacing the blades for all 48 affected windmills would cost millions, so the Association is asking the Dutch government for help, as it's their OSHA regs that require the windmills to cease their operation. It looks like the government is willing to help.

The windmill owners hope a solution can be found within a month, because then there'll be the National Windmill Days when all windmills open their doors for tourists.


To clarify: these traditional windmills are basically all museum pieces that still work. They grind flour or whatever which you can buy, if you prefer locally produced stuff over factory produced flour.
