A golf course less than eight miles away from the hottest point on the entire planet. (lemmy.world)

It opened in 1931 and underwent a major renovation in 1997. Apparently, the water usage is sustainable (see below), but it still doesn’t excuse the fact, in my mind, that continuing to support the upkeep of a green-ass golf course at the edge of Death Valley shows how out-of-whack its patrons are with the changing climate....

That is, if there’s one real world, and a...

Inside the tiny chip that powers Montreal subway tickets (www.righto.com)

To use the Montreal subway (the Métro), you tap a paper ticket against the turnstile and it opens. The ticket works through a system called NFC, but what's happening internally?
