UK industry could unlock major energy savings through heat reuse, says new report
Industrial heating accounts for about 14% of U.K. emissions but about half of the energy used in U.K. industry is lost as waste heat, according to a new report. Analysis supported by expertise from Heriot-Watt University shows this heat could be captured and reused rather than released. The report by the Royal Society, "Unlocking thermal energy: Capture, storage and re-use of industrial waste heat," sets out how reusing thermal energy could be a huge opportunity for the U.K.—to cut emissions,…

Could ‘transition credits’ be the key to unlocking a coal-free Asia?
This novel take on carbon credits could cure Asia's coal addiction - but critics are sceptical.

TIL:
If you have your Samsung T7 Touch SSD encrypted with a password (and maybe a fingerprint) ..and you want to remove the encryption (or delete/change password/fingerprint).... Your device (MS Win) has to be connected to the internet. Otherwise the neccessary software just hangs after unlocking the SSD.
WTAF Samsung. For real.
This lead me to two questions:
1. What are the odds that passwords and fingerprints are casually transfered to some Samsung service? (Rhetor…
