The impact of food on our climate

By the time food can be put in the shopping basket, plenty of climate-damaging greenhouse gases such as CO2 have been produced, through transportation, storage and refrigeration. Therefore, food also has an impact on our climate. Author: ZDF/logo/Steffi Thum Translation and dubbing: alugha Click

Hacking washing machines

Almost everyone has a household appliance at home, whether it's a washing machine, dishwasher, or dryer. Despite their ubiquity, little is publicly documented about how these devices actually work or how their internal components communicate. This talk takes a closer look at proprietary bus systems,
