  • Will it get done if it costs too much to get someone to do it? Do I think I can do it?

    If I added up all of the home, auto and technical maintenance I have done in the last month as farmed out to a professional I would be broke ALL THE TIME or the things would not have gotten done.

    SO many things can be looked up and even found as full instructional videos now.

    I generally look at it as if there is special knowledge, skills or tools needed also if I could make things worse.. If not I will try and do it myself.

  • As expected.. COMBINED other manufactures are starting to make meaningful amounts of EVs. Individually it is funny how few they sell however.

    Tesla still sells nearly 10x the number of EVs (BEVs) to the next most popular brand (globally).

    Correction Tesla and BYD are embarrassing the "REST" of the the manufactures. Globally.

    BYD numbers are often mix EV as a combination of PHEV and BEV, their BEV sales have substantially grown.

    ○ Tesla market share 20% ○ BYD Auto 15% ○ Geely Holdings 8% ○ Others 57%

  • Your examples would have more similarity with suggesting a vegetarian diet as an alternative to a mix or most meat diet. That would be a functional alternative, like suggesting a different OS or Browser.

    Veganism more like a political statement that if you eat meat your are a bad person for harming animals. All vegans may be vegetarians but not all vegetarians are vegan.

    I will admit there are many OS and Browser purists that might be more like vegans telling you, you are bad for choosing the one you currently use. There are FOSS purists that only tell you to use FOSS because it is NOT commercial not because the software is better for what you need.

  • I went from an iPhone 7 to an iPhone 13 . I had replaced the battery on the iPhone 7 already, it still was getting updates but physically the charge port started wearing out and the NFC stopped working .

    Was a good run, phone was super reliable needed no tweaking to work.

    I have also been using iPhones since the iPhone 3G. Long before it existed on Android it was very easy to movie everything from your old phone to the new one, first via iTunes desktop then later via iCloud.

    Family sharing for apps and family backups pooled in iCloud is also very convenient.

  • Gen X / Xennial, analog childhood, digital adult hood.

  • References TikTok as a source of knowledge

  • Likely has more to do with the cost of 1-2million per station vs 250,000 to 500,000 for a typical EV fast charging station

  • Electrolysis is at least 25% less as efficient than just storing the electricity in battery’s as it produces both oxygen and hydrogen and then you need to spend some more of the power compressing it…. Even before you get to transporting it. Otherwise we would just have electrolytes plants all over already.

  • I get 550Mbps on 5 ghz (80Mhz wide) with my iPhone 13 and I get 800-850Mbps on an iPad pro on 6Ghz (160Mhz wide). When in the same room as the AP. When not in the same room speeds are a bit all over the map.

    This is via the speedtest.net app on a 1Gbit fibre connection.

    I am using new U7 Pro Wall APs.

  • There is no clean, cheap, efficient source of hydrogen. You still need to transport it around burning more fuel to transport it all around.

    There are already multiple ways to get clean electricity for BEVs and the supply chain is cleaner.. Plant, grid, car.

    Also coal is already a TINY TINY % of US power production, https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/us-energy-facts/ , going to natural gas sourced hydrogen would be a step backward.

    When source to consumption is considered BEV is the cleanest option so far.

  • Maybe if you live in an apartment or dorm where your gaming PC is in your living room.

  • I used to use Steam link with my desktop but I find the experience of docking the steam deck way more reliable.

  • I am surprised there aren't more local multiplayer games on the list. The steam deck is great hooked up to a TV with multiple controllers

  • More concerning is that so many romantic movies contain an element of cheating.. IE the main characters meet while one or both are seeing someone else and often don't break it off with the other person. In the comedies they are often sneaking around and not getting caught is played for laughs.

  • You do know that nearly all fuel cell vehicles also use lithium and a battery pack, as well the fuel cell it self uses a number of rare earth metals.
