- Comment on Netflix is planning to raise prices... again 1 year ago:
At the moment it’s 8 episodes and one season. But it took them that season to get to the grand line. So if they want to make it to the end, we are looking at at least 10 seasons minimum. But Netflix will cancel it after a few seasons anyway.
- Comment on US scientists achieve net energy gain for second time in a fusion reaction 1 year ago:
Not really. Laser Fusion will never lead to a power plant and nobody but the press thinks so. This is military weapons science, nothing else.
- Comment on Texas could get a 205-mph bullet train zipping between Houston and Dallas 1 year ago:
It could, but it won’t.
- Comment on China's tech titans scramble to buy $5 billion of Nvidia chips as US bans investment in key Chinese sectors, report says 1 year ago:
When has China engaged in this behaviour? I only know of price dumping. Outright sanctions would be news to me.
- Comment on Teens Hacked Boston Subway’s CharlieCard to Get Infinite Free Rides 1 year ago:
Merriam Webster defines “agile (technology)” as “synonym for trash”.
- Comment on US scientists achieve net energy gain for second time in a fusion reaction 1 year ago:
*Not actually net total. That is still far below positive output.
- Comment on Offshore Wind Resources Could Meet 25% Of US Demand 1 year ago:
Salt water is a bitch. It will corrode though everything, especially moving parts. It’s not that we couldn’t do it, but the maintenance cost makes it unattractive.
- Comment on Why is there such a large amount of communist and transgender related posts on the Fediverse compared to other websites? 1 year ago:
Same problem in Germany (just worse) right now, but we should still remember that 12 or even 20% are far from the majority. They are very good at shouting so loud that you could think there are more, but there aren’t. They only have as much power as we give them.
- Comment on What is your preferred fitness tracker/smartwatch? 1 year ago:
Mi band has a display, but it’s pretty slim and you could just leave it turned off. But a ring might be the better option for you.
- Comment on What is your preferred fitness tracker/smartwatch? 1 year ago:
I agreed. Additionally it has to be not too bulky and cheap. Mi Band does the trick in my experience.
- Comment on People are getting fed up with all the useless tech in their cars — For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, wit... 1 year ago:
Um yeah, you do that before you start driving. All the situations you mentioned don’t necessitate adjusting the mirrors while you are driving.
Or are you one of those people who complain about distracted driving due to touch screens, but then drive off with completely maladjusted mirrors? Bro…

China hasn’t subsidized the EV industry in years. Don’t believe everything you hear from your 60 year old neighbour.
The fact is batteries have come down in price so much that that price is absolutely economically viable. They are just milking us for all we are worth in the west.

How are you people moving in your seat this much? I never had to adjust anything but the rear view mirror and that is manual anyway.

Well prices should come down once competition from the Chinese manufacturers picks up. Hopefully at least.
In China you can get a VW ID.3 for 15000€ and a Tesla model 3 for 30.000€.

Nah, they are trying to save money. Every knob adds time and materials to the manufacturing process and thus loses money.

Adjusting mirrors and seats can go on the touch screen as you do that before the drive and I don’t think those can stay at the factory.

Why 10? It’s not like you do that while driving.
Thing is every knob saved saves time and money during manufacturing. So the companies want to put as much as they can on the touch screen. I don’t mind if they do that with things I do before driving, I mind a lot if it’s something I have to do during the drive.

- Comment on Apple says it will remove services such as FaceTime and iMessage from the UK rather than weaken security if new proposals are made law and acted upon. 1 year ago:
Like the politicians would have cared. This is just a convenient excuse. Either they would have found another one or they would have said “we can’t trust Apple to scan for this material. The police has to do these scans!”
We were right to oppose it then and we are right to oppose it now.
