Lectronz is a marketplace for open-source hardware makers and DIY electronics. Most of our sellers are not factories or well-funded start-ups. They are engineers, independent designers, and hardware enthusiasts working from spare rooms, garages, and tiny workshops.

The Government is Monitoring Anti-Flock TikTok and Instagram Accounts
Government surveillance centers are monitoring viral anti-Flock Instagram posts, warning local police about upcoming DeFlock events including one scheduled to start next week, and have told cops to “increase patrols around ALPR [automatic license plate readers]” as backlash to Flock grows, according to government intelligence bulletins obtained using public records requests. The documents also warn about devices “that could be used to identify the locations of Flock cameras.”

Blabbering on tv is not the same thing as running a society. In fact, politicians don't "run the society", industrialists and operators run it. Lumberjacks run the society.
Running a society is hard work, men's work! If a woman wants to run a society, she needs to grow a pair of balls, and then "free time" will be a thing of distant dreams. WTF is "free time" anyway? My time is not free.

Because the spacecraft was designed to travel far from the Sun where solar panels are useless, it required a nuclear power source.
Key Features of the Power System
The Fuel: The system uses Plutonium-238 in the form of plutonium oxide.
Heat to Electricity: The natural radioactive decay of the plutonium generates heat. Thermocouples then convert this thermal energy directly into electricity.
The Units: Voyager 1 carries three RTGs, which are mounted together on a long boom to keep radiation away from the sensitive science instruments.
Initial Output: At launch in 1977, the three RTGs combined produced about 470 watts of power.
Current Power Status: due to the radioactive half-life of the plutonium and the degradation of the thermocouples. The power output decreases by about 4 watts every year
