Google spins out Taara to its own company - using beams of light for internet in c/[email protected]

Too good to be true.
Light is light (or just THz range of frequency), there are the reasons why it isn't mainstream.
E.g. fog, heavy rain, snow, hot air "artifacts", etc.

Actually, the research person was granted $10,000 from the bug bunty program.

You can't pay someone $10,000 for an email of your favorite youtuber.

Cheap UPS solution? (feddit.nl)
 

I'm tired of buying a new 12 V battery every 1-2 years. I have about 4 small (rated ~ 300 W [not VA]) UPSes with 7 Ah, 12 V, maintenance free batteries.

I'm thinking about replacing them with one, powerful unit. But the more powerful the unit, the more it costs - non-linear.

Do you have experience with some DIY solutions? Like 12V DC to 230V AC inverter, battery charger, some UPS controller (simple relay?)?

Or maybe you have some other idea that is cheap(ish)?
