You have a bunch of mp3s? Just add them to an app that plays mp3s like Winamp

Its not fast, but physical media does have the benefit of being able to be digitized

This is incredibly unlikely to happen though, a secondary market for digital licenses would eviscerate profits.

Licenses as NFTs could have the method youre looking for. When resold, the original creator of the license gets a small cut, usually about 5% of sale price. The vendor website gets tx fees and the seller gets 90-95% of the sale price.

Its a strong model imo.

So, the team ... got efficiencies in the area of 33 to 34 percent. They also sent a sample to a European test lab, which came out with an efficiency of 33.7 percent. The researchers have a few ideas that should boost this to 35 percent, but didn't attempt them for this paper. For comparison, the maximum efficiency for silicon alone is in the area of 27 percent, so that represents a very significant boost and is one of the highest perovskite/silicon combinations ever reported.

Love this research and I hope solar eventually beats ICE engines for efficiency.

However....

The crystals were reasonably stable when simply exposed to light. But the combination of light and heat caused a more significant decay in performance. The researchers say that "devices maintain ≥90 percent of their initial performance up to 1,000 hours," but a decay of up to 10 percent in about three months is not ready for commercial deployment. So, still some work to do there.

Thats not the issue.

Its the same as when feds ask google for location data for everyone near a crime at a given timestamp. Its violating innocent peoples privacy in large swathes.

Google stopped giving location data recently. Hope they keep going.

What a waste of time,money, and resources

Nope, each state is doing its own thing and the 5th ammendment is being trampled in a few of them. Biometrics and passwords are being forced and this is an amazing ruling for 5A advocates like myself.

SC needs to rule on it, but preferably not THIS supreme court

Musk just hsoted a space with Ramaswamy, Andrew Tate, Matt Gaetz, and Alex Jones

How do you think that went down? My prejudice tells me it was probably racist and xenophobic AF and probably included some dog whistles
