So, I know you're all more in the *space* ship business but I was poking around the various corpos and wondering if you had anything suited to aquatic commando activites, normally for stealth I would consider SSC but I've found the biotic components in their mechs are prone to malfunctioning in super deep cold waters, and since rugged reliability is your whole thing I thought you'd have some good stuff. - Vencel "Strange Cargo" Crewson
Hello Strange Cargo!
You’re in luck! As our base of operations is located on Carina, an ocean planet with occasionally very tumultuous conditions, we happen to be experts on aquatic operations.
All of our mechs come standard with our patented ALS/20 “Red October” Anti-leak system, which consists of a series of redundant seals and reinforcements which help to keep you dry and not crushed while you work!
We also sell the ALS/15 “Seawolf” for easy integration with other manufacturers’ mechs, and the ALS/35 “Mariana” for pressures in excess of 500 atm.

Frustrating when a VC-funded company gets credit for being the "first" and the "leader," when they had a sub-component demo the same week we had a full-system demo. Like, we are easily 5-10 years ahead of them, it's ridiculous; their approach isn't even yet proven to work. But they get science youtubers talking about them.
Because they're VC-funded, they have a marketing/press department.
And because we're an employee-owned company working off of government contracts, well, most government contracts get slapped with an ITAR label (an old Cold-War-era law saying basically sharing scientific information counts as illegally selling arms/munitions). So if you want to publicize your work, including your company's products, you have to appeal that label. (Universities have specifically negotiated a blanket exemption, so if you spend your whole life in academic science you might never even know about this.)
(My previous employer filed those appeals several times a year in order to do press releases and publish journal articles and apply for patents. I think every single information-release appeal they filed went through, because there's no reason any of this stuff should be labeled as arms--it's literally the same stuff universities are doing. My current employer is afraid to, which I think is wrong-headed; at worst they'll just say no, and anyway, our non-restricted competitors are giving fucking lab tours to youtubers.)
#these restrictions mean you also can't have employees on visas working on these projects#my previous employer tried to appeal that too and failed--they were only able to appeal the dissemination of information part#so we had locked labs that my international coworkers weren't allowed in#(one got a green card and was allowed in eventually)#ironically the VC-funded company is doing it the same way I did it in my PhD thesis#two other people at the company did this stuff in their post-docs#all of us are over 40 (one guy is over 50 I'm pretty sure) so this is not a new technique--I got two MINOR papers on it 16 years ago#the MAJOR papers are like 25 years old#and we're all convinced it's NOT the right approach#granted the technique we are using is about 30 years old#in my literal thesis defense one of my committee members asked why I was using the technique the VC companies are now using#and if I had done the math to prove it was superior to the older technique#and I was like--everyone knows the new technique is superior that's why it's trendy#and my advisor (who was a genius) said the same thing and that it wasn't a fair question#but the guy who asked it was an ancient theorist who REALLY knew what he was talking about#and in retrospect he was completely right--I should have done the math comparing the techniques and the older technique IS better#a few weeks into my job here I did the math and found that if you use the BEST version of the new technique--one that only one group#has demonstrated can even be done and they didn't get all the way to the point of demonstrating an application like this#and you assume some generous efficiency numbers#it breaks even with the old technique#that's not what this VC group is doing so... not a chance lol

Marie Van Brittan Brown (October 30, 1922 – February 2, 1999) was an inventor. She was the inventor of the home security system in 1966, along with her husband Albert Brown. In the same year, they applied for a patent, which was granted on December 2, 1969.
Inspired by how long it would take the police to arrive in her neighborhood, she invented the first form of a home security system. Her work hours were not the standard 9-5, and the crime rate in their Queens neighborhood was very high. Wondering who was on the other side of her door was always something she regretted doing. Her system had a set of three peep-holes. On the opposite side of the door, a camera was attached with the ability to slide up and down to allow the person to see through each peephole. A resident could unlatch the door with a remote control. The system included a device that enabled a homeowner to use a television set to view the person at the door and hear the caller’s voice. The home security system that she and her husband invented allowed the monitor to be in a different room and all of this was possible via the radio-controlled wireless system. If the person viewing the images on the monitor did not feel safe they could press a button that would send an alarm to police or security. Even now, her invention is being used by smaller businesses and living facilities.
Although the system was originally intended for domestic use, many businesses began to adopt the system due to its effectiveness. The system used a voice component to enable her to speak to the person at the door. If the person had criminal intent and tried to enter the house forcefully, the police would be notified with the push of a button. For any expected visitor or welcomed person, the door would be unlocked via remote control. For this invention of a system, she received an award from the National Science Committee. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

POLL
The kindly attendant ushers you into the quantum pod and closes the door. They activate it, and a mere moment later you step out onto a space shuttle, landed on an alien world, a million lightyears away from home.
This world has a warm and welcoming climate, there is a thriving biosphere with nary a predator to cause you harm, and plenty of water, oxygen, and nutrients. The scanners report that, in fact, this system contains multiple planets that are hospitable or near-hospitable. It is, for all intents and purposes, paradise.
A ship had departed old Earth, and, on account of the speed of light proving utterly impenetrable, travelled for millions of years to this new place. No human could ever survive in hypersleep for that long - so the quantum pod carried the entanglement of a person and simply created a new identical person here, memories included. You feel as though you stepped in a pod on Earth and exited here, when in reality you were born mere seconds ago.
This landing shuttle is humble: a living space and a workroom. But in the orbit of this world is the mothership that carried you here, and it contains enough of all possible resources to last hundreds of people hundreds of years, and several cargo shuttles to deliver you anything you may need at any time.
The workroom contains three main things. The first is a quantum archive, which contains every work, every patent, every instruction, every piece of knowledge ever accumulated by contemporary humanity (or, the humanity of several million years ago). The second is a fabricator, with which you can fabricate any thing recorded in the archive (which, again, is every thing it is possible to manufacture) that is within one metre cubed, simply by providing resources that can be summoned from the mothership. Or, if it is larger than one metre cubed, you can fabricate its components and build it yourself. The third is the quantum pod.
You remain quantumly entangled. Delightfully, whenever you die, your memories and consciousness will continue in a newly created body. But there is a catch - this method can only resolve you of immediate, life-ending injuries. Should you suffer something severe but non-fatal, or become ill with a disease such as cancer, the qpod will always return the ailment to you. The only way of dealing with such medical needs is with medical attention, and you are the only human within a million lightyears. There is medicine and treatments enough to cure you of anything, even ageing and death, but you cannot administer them alone. With no one to help you, you will simply age and ail and die.
You will need help. You will need a team, you will need other people. There’s a neat trick you can do with the quantum pod: you can create another you. You can create another identical copy of the person who entered the pod on Earth all those years ago. And you can create another. And you can create another.
You can create enough people to get a small community of yous. What’s more is, because of the quantum archive, each of you can learn any possible skill, and specialise. You have all the information you need, so given time and patience, eventually you’ll have a version of every professional it’s possible for you to train as. You can create a society, a civilisation. You can become educators to make education easier, and given the educators have a total understanding of their students, they should do a good job of it. The different yous would probably start giving themselves new identities to differentiate themselves. You’ll slowly drift and become every different you you could ever be, a wide gamut of personalities, preferences and even genders. Given all people here have the same sex cells, sexual reproduction is impossible (and besides, that would be inbreeding), so quantum cloning is the only way of creating new pairs of hands.
But remember: the mothership only contains enough resources to last hundreds of people hundreds of years. Complex society needs complex systems needs more people: if there becomes too many of you, you’ll start to run dry. So you need to become self-sufficient. You need a version of you to become an expert in everything it is possible to be an expert in. The fabricator can give a you tools but a you has to use them. The archive has information on everything but a you has to learn it. You need farms, mines, and factories, and while you have all the technology and information required to create and operate efficient, sustainable and futuristic systems, you need to set yourself to the hard task of learning and training and being one of everything.
So, should you decide to create an entire civilisation consisting of yous and only yous:

A Look at Mercedes’ Electric Future: The EQ Series
The Evolution of Mercedes: From Classics to Modern Marvels
Mercedes-Benz is more than just a luxury car brand—it’s a symbol of innovation, performance, and prestige that has shaped the automotive industry for over a century. From its early roots in classic automobiles to the modern marvels gracing today’s roads, Mercedes has remained a pioneering force, consistently blending timeless elegance with cutting-edge technology. This blog takes you on a journey through the evolution of Mercedes-Benz, highlighting key milestones that have solidified its reputation as an icon of the automotive world.
The Early Days: Birth of a Legend
Mercedes-Benz traces its origins back to the late 19th century when Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler laid the foundation for modern automobiles. In 1886, Karl Benz created the Benz Patent-Motorwagen, often considered the first true automobile. Around the same time, Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach built a vehicle with a gasoline-powered engine. These early developments set the stage for the future of Mercedes-Benz.
The brand's official birth came in 1926 when Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (DMG) merged with Benz & Cie to form Mercedes-Benz. The combination of the two companies brought together their strengths in engineering and innovation, establishing a brand that would redefine luxury and performance in the automotive world.
1930s: Setting Standards with the Mercedes 500K and 540K
The 1930s saw Mercedes-Benz rise to prominence as a producer of high-performance, luxury vehicles. The Mercedes 500K and 540K models became symbols of automotive excellence, featuring powerful engines, streamlined designs, and unparalleled craftsmanship. These models were the epitome of luxury, favored by royalty, celebrities, and influential figures of the time. The 540K, with its supercharged 5.4-liter engine, became an icon, blending speed with opulence in a way that few others could match.
1950s: The Birth of an Icon with the 300SL
Fast-forward to the post-World War II era, and Mercedes-Benz continued to push boundaries with the introduction of the Mercedes 300SL in 1954. Known for its distinctive gullwing doors, the 300SL was the fastest production car of its time and the first to feature direct fuel injection. This iconic sports car not only redefined speed and performance but also embodied the elegance and sophistication that would become synonymous with the Mercedes brand.
The 300SL also set the stage for Mercedes’ dominance in motorsport, especially in Formula One and endurance racing, further cementing its reputation as a leader in performance engineering.
1960s-1980s: Innovation and Expansion
The mid-20th century saw Mercedes-Benz expanding its lineup to cater to a broader audience. The introduction of the Mercedes S-Class in the 1970s revolutionized the luxury sedan segment, becoming the benchmark for comfort, safety, and technological innovation. With features like anti-lock brakes (ABS), airbags, and advanced suspension systems, Mercedes made safety a key component of luxury.
During this period, Mercedes also introduced the G-Class (G-Wagen) in 1979, a rugged, military-inspired SUV that quickly became a favorite for off-road enthusiasts while still delivering the luxury and quality expected from the brand.
1990s: A New Era of Performance with AMG
In the 1990s, Mercedes-Benz entered a new era of performance with its acquisition of AMG, a tuning company that specialized in high-performance variants of Mercedes models. The collaboration brought the birth of the Mercedes-AMG lineup, featuring powerful V8 engines and enhanced driving dynamics. Models like the AMG E55 and the AMG C36 became favorites for drivers seeking both luxury and blistering performance.
The AMG division quickly grew into a central part of the brand’s identity, representing the pinnacle of performance engineering while maintaining Mercedes’ commitment to comfort and style.
2000s-Present: Redefining Luxury and Technology
The 21st century has been marked by a continued push for innovation. Mercedes-Benz has seamlessly integrated advanced technology into its vehicles, offering drivers a suite of features designed for convenience, safety, and entertainment. Innovations such as the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) system, semi-autonomous driving capabilities, and active safety features like collision prevention and lane-keeping assist have become standard in many models.
Mercedes has also embraced the electric future with the introduction of its EQ lineup. The Mercedes EQS, launched in 2021, represents the brand’s commitment to sustainability without compromising on luxury or performance. With its fully electric drivetrain, cutting-edge battery technology, and premium interior, the EQS positions Mercedes at the forefront of the electric vehicle revolution.
Mercedes Today: A Symbol of Prestige
Today, Mercedes-Benz stands as a global leader in the luxury automobile industry, continuously setting benchmarks in performance, safety, and technology. Whether it's the elegance of the S-Class, the versatility of the G-Class, or the eco-conscious innovation of the EQ series, Mercedes-Benz has mastered the art of blending tradition with modernity.
Conclusion: A Legacy of Excellence
From the early days of Karl Benz’s first motor vehicle to the cutting-edge electric cars of the 21st century, Mercedes-Benz has evolved into an automotive powerhouse. Its legacy is built on a commitment to pushing the boundaries of design, engineering, and luxury. As the brand continues to innovate and adapt to new technologies, one thing remains clear: Mercedes-Benz will always be a symbol of excellence and a leader in the automotive world.

"Voice to Skull" (V2K) is patented technology used to beam the voice(s) of official personnel at the helm of mind invasive technology into a target's head typically for harassment or instructions reported by mass shooters. It is patented.
Many have been discredited as Schizo for decades, beginning in the early stages of human experimentation targeting generations of families within the brilliant hereditary mental illness tag coverup. No one is then or today exempt from DECADES of targeted focus on men, women and children, heinously. It continues to advance, to Brain Computer Interface, AI, etc., and also historically known as the DOD Voice of God, Microwave Auditory Effect aka Frey Effect, Synthetic or Artificial Telepathy, Remote Neural Monitoring, Neurophone, etc., with commercial versions, Audio Spotlight, Hypersonic Sound System etc., as it becomes mainstream.
This is a program Operation Paperclip founded after World War II that is so monstrous that most cannot believe it exists and has thrived, again for DECADES, as one of the key components in mind control studies.
The Association of Psychiatry has been on board since Day 1 with the historic connection of MKULTRA (Mind Kontrol Ultra) and exampled by Ewen Cameron's association as the President during intense mind control experimentation in Canada and the USA who Wikipedia documents specialized in mind control and psychiatry. This technology and its destruction of lives, by those deemed human guinea pigs, tops the like as one of the most horrific "Crimes of the Century."
The people involved and those at the helm have become little more than Sociopaths!
Believe it or not!

"A great deal of the offshored industrial production at the other end of the extended supply chains celebrated in People’s Republic of Walmart is actually carried out in comparatively small job shops that would be more efficiently collocated with local market areas. The technology at the actual point of production, in such cases, is modest in scale and best suited for local or regional production. But it’s enclosed within a corporate institutional framework of extended logistic chains through the framework of copyright, patent, and trademark law which gives corporations a legal monopoly on disposal of an outsourced product. The only reason the facilities in China aren’t all producing identical goods directly for the local market, and selling at a price without the trademark and patent markups, is the enclosure of decentralized production technology within a centralized corporate legal framework. And the only reason the production facilities making goods for people in Iowa are sited in China instead of in Iowa is that the labor there is cheaper.
(...)
Lean production guru James Womack observed that “oceans and lean production are not compatible.” Simply shifting inventories from giant warehouses of finished product or intermediate goods to warehouses disguised as trucks and container ships isn’t really reducing overall inventory stocks at all. It’s just sweeping the batch and-queue bloat of Sloanism under the rug. The outsourced component manufacturers “are located on the wrong side of the world from both their engineering operations and their customers… [in order] to reduce the cost per hour of labor.” To properly apply lean principles it is necessary “to locate both design and physical production in the appropriate place to serve the customer.”49
In his Foreword to Waddell’s and Bodek’s The Rebirth of American Industry (something of a bible for American devotees of the Toyota Production System), H. Thomas Johnson (an expert in lean accounting) writes:
Some people see lean as a pathway to restoring the large manufacturing giants the United States economy has been famous for in the past half century…. The cheap fossil fuel sources that have always supported such production operations cannot be taken for granted any longer. One proposal that has great merit is that of rebuilding our economy around smaller scale, locally-focused organizations that provide just as high a standard living [sic] as people now enjoy, but with far less energy and resource consumption. Helping to create the sustainable local living economy may be the most exciting frontier yet for architects of lean operations.
So except in a few cases like geographically situated mineral resources, microprocessor production, and the like that require long-distance shipping for genuine technical reasons, most of what goes on in the logistic chains Phillips loves so much is just waste production. And that’s a lot of waste production. To put it simply, Walmart’s and Amazon’s increasingly automated inventory systems and just-in-time global logistic chains achieve “efficiency” only in a relative sense. To borrow a phrase from Peter Drucker, they’re the most efficient way of doing a very inefficient thing that ought not to be done at all.
(...)
Capitalism is not in crisis because, as per the orthodox Marxist model, its productivity so great that it undermines capitalist relations of production. It is in crisis because it has chosen models of technological development and organizing production that are unproductive in terms of how efficiently they use inputs. Capitalism is a system founded on extensive growth — that is, on the addition of ever larger quantities of resource inputs, inputs which are artificially cheap and abundant because of the enclosure of land and natural resources. Now that we are in the age of Peak Oil, and approaching the age of Peak Coal, Peak Gas, and analogous limits to a wide range of other material inputs, capitalism is experiencing a crisis of extensive development.
Post-capitalist transition is not simply a matter of celebrating mass production factories and global logistic chains as the “colossal forces of production” Marx wrote of, and saying “Thank you, capitalists, but we’ll take over from here.” Those mass production factories and global logistic chains are the prime examples of the kinds of inefficiency created by a system that treated material inputs as artificially cheap and abundant and pursued growth by throwing more of them on the pile instead of using existing inputs more efficiently."
-Kevin Carson, “We Are All Degrowthers. We Are All Ecomodernists. Analysis of a Debate” (2019)

Just an idea for part of a setting:
Union Transistor Company:
Initially founded before the supply chain collapsed as a for profit semiconductor company, after the supply chain collapsed, it reorganized into a cooperative, the entire thing was built to run off of geothermal, readily available in the Pacific Northwest where the main building was first built.
They supply semiconductor devices, mostly silicon, to traveling traders in exchange for food and materials such as things they may refine silicon from or dopant materials. They do have the requisite tools and knowledge to make gallium arsenic semiconductors, but they don’t have the materials to do so regularly, so if you need those you must come to them with the materials.
In addition to manufacturing new semiconductors, their main business is in reclamation, taking old computers and salvaging any functional components and recycling the rest using methods developed just before the great collapse.
They also send people out to find old records, patent office archives, engineering researchers and their notes, that type of thing, as well as tools needed to make such things, as such they have also taken the battery market with their Iron-sulfide rechargeable batteries, though, unlike semiconductors they share how to make these batteries because they don’t require access to highly specialized facilities to create and as such this knowledge doesn’t give an incentive to invade them.
The insane future-proofing of the place was the result of pre-collapse trillionaire George Markus thinking he would use this as his stronghold to rule from. He however made the foolish mistake of trusting his enforcement over some of the best scientific minds of the day to machine. In two weeks thirteen different groups had control over the security system, and George Markus had been shot by one of them with his own turrets. After another two weeks of constantly trying to lock eachother out of the system and failing, a truce was called and they decided that cooperation was the way forward, and that they had a duty to keep the place running if they hoped for things to be rebuilt at some point.

Indonesia Smart Cities Market Outlook for Forecast Period (2023 to 2030)
Tumblr media
Indonesia's Smart Cities are Expected to Grow at a Significant Growth Rate, and the Forecast Period is 2023-2030, Considering the Base Year as 2022.
The development of smart cities revolves around the utilization of cutting-edge technologies and data analytics to optimize urban systems. Key components include the implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure, which involves the deployment of connected devices and sensors to gather real-time data.
This data is then analyzed to provide valuable insights that inform decision-making by city officials. Smart mobility solutions play a vital role in improving transportation networks, easing traffic congestion, and promoting eco-friendly transit options. E-governance platforms are adopted to streamline administrative processes and facilitate seamless citizen-government interactions.
Sustainability initiatives are emphasized, including energy-efficient buildings, renewable energy integration, waste management, and environmental conservation. Moreover, citizen engagement is fostered through digital platforms, allowing residents to actively participate in shaping urban policies and providing feedback to authorities.
One of the notable examples of smart city development in Indonesia is the "Jakarta Smart City" initiative. As the capital and most populous city in the country, Jakarta faces numerous urban challenges such as traffic congestion, waste management, and environmental pollution. To tackle these issues, the Jakarta Smart City program leverages technology and data to improve various urban services.

Hedy Lamarr, Movie Star and Inventor!
On This Day In History 1942 - American actress Hedy Lamarr and composer George Antheil received a patent for an electronic device that minimized the jamming of radio signals; it later became a component of satellite and cellular phone technology.
Lamarr shared her concept for using “frequency hopping” with the U.S. Navy and codeveloped a patent with Antheil 1941. Today, her innovation helped make possible a wide range of wireless communications technologies, including Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth.
Although Lamarr had no formal training and was primarily self-taught, she tinkered in her spare time on various hobbies and ideas, which included an improved traffic stoplight and a tablet that would dissolve in water to create a flavored carbonated drink.
During World War II, Lamarr read that radio-controlled torpedoes had been proposed. However, an enemy might be able to jam such a torpedo's guidance system and set it off course. When discussing this with her friend the composer and pianist George Antheil, the idea was raised that a frequency-hopping signal might prevent the torpedo's radio guidance system from being tracked or jammed. Antheil succeeded by synchronizing a miniaturized player piano mechanism with radio signals. Antheil sketched out the idea for the frequency-hopping system, which was to use a perforated paper tape which actuated pneumatic controls (as was already used in player pianos).
Antheil was introduced to Samuel Stuart Mackeown, a professor of radio-electrical engineering at Caltech, whom Lamarr then employed for a year to actually implement the idea. Lamarr hired the Los Angeles legal firm of Lyon & Lyon to search for prior knowledge, and to craft the application for the patent which was granted as U.S. Patent 2,292,387 on August 11, 1942, under her married name Hedy Kiesler Markey.
