- Comment on They should build ev charging stations with a drive in theater so you can watch a movie as you're charging up to continue your road trip 1 year ago:
I don’t think this really caught on because not everyone takes care of their batteries to the same degree. Frequently charging to 100% or draining to 0% has some negative impacts reducing range and performance. You’re likely to receive one of these used batteries in your car with a swap.

Anywhere from 150 to 350 kilowatts! Usually 400-800 volts. It’s pretty serious.

lol my kids are always disappointed when we’re done charging on road trips because they weren’t done with the episode of their TV show. We can’t even make it through one whole movie 20 minutes at a time on an all-day road trip.

- Comment on Apple A17 Pro SoC Within Reach of Intel i9-13900K in Single-Core Performance 1 year ago:
Apple definitely has a way of doing what is right sometimes, and forcing the industry’s hand to move forward.
… Sometimes. Sometimes this definitely backfires, but not this time.

TSLA doesn’t even pay dividends. Appreciate you pointing yourself out as horribly misinformed.
- Comment on Elon Musk Stormed Into the Tesla Office Furious That Autopilot Tried to Kill Him 1 year ago:
That’s not an EV specific thing. Hundreds of people will die TODAY in traffic related accidents, EV or not. We need to shift away from human drivers entirely.
- Comment on Elon Musk Stormed Into the Tesla Office Furious That Autopilot Tried to Kill Him 1 year ago:
Exactly. Also lidar is important in instances where you need millimeter precision. Its useful for calibrating camera systems in self driving cars but in order to drive safely you don’t need that level of detail about the world around the car. It makes no difference if a car or pedestrian is 72 or 73 inches away.
- Comment on Elon Musk Stormed Into the Tesla Office Furious That Autopilot Tried to Kill Him 1 year ago:
Actually, no you don’t. Lidar cannot dentify object’s specifically. Tesla does use lidar in their testing/prototype vehicles and they have to find any instances manually where these systems don’t agree. It always falls back to cameras.
- Comment on Elon Musk Stormed Into the Tesla Office Furious That Autopilot Tried to Kill Him 1 year ago:
I thought the “needs lidar” debate was settled years ago

So he demanded that the driver assistance software be as safe as possible before public release? paving the way for full self driving 6-7 years later? is this a bad thing?
- Comment on Texas power prices soar 20,000% as brutal heat wave sets off emergency 1 year ago:
Contrary to what clickbait articles lead you to believe these spikes are incredibly brief. www.ercot.com/gridmktinfo/…/systemwideprices
I’m really not sure how else an electrical grid is supposed to artificially encourage lowering demand than to fluctuate pricing. Lots of bew appliances now can connect to the grid and shut themselves down temporarily when costs are high. If you need to use electricity at high demand time it had better be important.
And yes I realize in an ideal world every electrical grid would be 10,000% oversized and be able to handle infinite demand. That is unfortunately not the world we live in.

- Comment on France bans iPhone 12 sales over radiation levels: Here’s what to know 1 year ago:
That is absolutely a valid reason to regulate EMR, as interference is totally a thing if you have too many devices using overlapping frequencies, etc.
Unfortunately, France is making a big stink for the stupid reasons instead: reuters.com/…/why-has-france-banned-sales-apples-…
France’s radiation watchdog has banned sales of Apple’s (AAPL.O) iPhone 12 after tests that it said showed the smartphone breached European radiation exposure limits.
The Agence Nationale des Frequences (ANFR) said on Tuesday the model’s Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) - a measure of the rate of radiofrequency energy absorbed by the body from a piece of equipment - was higher than legally allowed.
- Comment on Apple forced to ditch iPhone lightning charger 1 year ago:
The base 15 has the processor from the 14 pro, which does not have the USB 3.0 controller on it.
Just like the base 14 had the processor from the 13 pro …and the base 13 had the processor from the 12 pro
you get the idea.

lol sorry I broke your mental regex filter
- Comment on How the IT guys see the users 1 year ago:
Yeah one of these views is more valid than the other:
“I got an error message! It says, Please right click the application and select “Run As Administrator…” What does it mean?! What do I do!!! Why are these instructions so confusing?!”
“I got an error on the page! It says “Password incorrect” What does that mean? How do I fix it?” “Have you tried using the correct password?”
- Comment on Apple forced to ditch iPhone lightning charger 1 year ago:
I mean…. sure but if youre going to invest that much in high speed massive storage devices to do tethered shooting you’re maybe someone who uses an actual camera instead of a phone? That adds huge benefits like wide aperture and multiple lenses.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
oh ffs. Emitting electromatic radiation does not mean radioactive.
- Comment on Apple forced to ditch iPhone lightning charger 1 year ago:
what on earth are you doing on your phone…. hell… what is ANYONE doing on their phone that even comes close to using 10gbps?!
- Comment on Apple forced to ditch iPhone lightning charger 1 year ago:
It takes 35.5 minutes to transfer 128GB over USB 2.0, not 24 hours.
128GB of 4k 60fps video on the iphone is roughly 5-6 hours of video. Considering MicroSD cards under ideal conditions can only write at roughly 1.5x USB 2.0 speed, you’re not really saving a whole lot of time. No idea where you got the 24h empty time from, maybe there’s something wrong with your adapter.
- Comment on Apple forced to ditch iPhone lightning charger 1 year ago:
ok now im really curious, what are you plugging into your CELL PHONE that requires 10 gigabit?
- Comment on Apple forced to ditch iPhone lightning charger 1 year ago:
In apple’s defense, lightning pre-dates USB-C by a few years. There are a ton of lightning accessories in the wild that have been made useless e-waste by this forced change. I’m glad we’re all on an agreed-upon standard, though. It had to happen at some point.
- Comment on Apple forced to ditch iPhone lightning charger 1 year ago:
The non-pro iphone 15 uses a different processor (A16 vs A17) which doesn’t have the controller for 10gbps speeds. Its the processor from the iphone 14 pro.

you missed the step where after development slows down, there are hundreds of forks of the project created making it too fragmented to be stable, again resulting in death.
