If you buy the phone to use it ourself, doesn’t that mean that it is a personal item?

That’s actually not unlikely, but the way china handles critical information we will never be sure.
I imagine they also have other false claims on there that are much worse though.

I’m happy that I bought Baldurs Gate 3, but otherwise I didn’t buy anything and I am happy about that too.

I’m pretty sure scientists back then could have told you that these balloons are too small. The person(s) who drew that picture most likely wasn’t a scientist, which is why it looks how it looks.

Yeah, it would be funny if the car is so crappy that he can somehow open it with his foot, but the wife/gf part is just boring.

I don’t think that the money that an industry gets represents it’s value to society, not even close. I don’t think that a CEO brings 1000 times more value than a normal worker.
What I really see happening is that every industry tries to take as much of everyones money as they can and if they are in a position where they can force us to do it, they will.
There is no fair wage distribution, not even among white men.
Women earning less money is just one of the symptoms in this ever more broken system where big corporations control more and more of our everyday lives.

I don’t think banking should be paid as highly as it does, but mine workers earn so much because they literally risk their lives at work.
The reason why bankers earn so much probably is because they work with huge amounts of money, so it’s easier for them to demand a cut of it.

Youtube Music doesn’t just serve the audio from a video. They do serve the audio from a video if nothing else is available, but they also get releases directly from the publishers/distributors.
The difference in sound quality is definetly noticeable.

No, the 70% for EVs is in real world conditions. The 30% for hydrogen is in ideal conditions, it’s usually around 10% in real life conditions right now.
And the efficiency of EVs doesn’t decrease that much at temperature increases or decreases, especially not down to the efficiency that hydrogen has right now.
This video is sadly only in German, but the guy who made it is a researcher for hydrogen and batteries (he knows what he is talking about), he explains it very well, why hydrogen will never work for cars: youtu.be/ZXC33UjdtBU?si=zHfORdzj0bfSesrS
Hydrogen might be clean if it is produced from renewable energies, but we don’t even have enough renewables to cover our current consumption, much less 3 times as much to cover everyone using hydrogen, and I don’t know what you mean by abundant, of course it is around everywhere bound in water, but we can’t use it before splitting it, which needs those insane amounts of energy.
There are also no projects that are able to go above those 30% because it’s just not possible, we can’t break the laws of physics.
We get new battery advancements every year, the current Trend is replacing everything with LiFePo4 batteries that are almost as good as LiNMnC batteries, because they need much less rare materials. Those batteries weren’t good enough a few years ago to be used in cars.
In the End electric cars are already good enough for almost all use cases and cost competitive, factoring in the running costs, while almost all car manufacturers have given up on hydrogen because they made losses even with their very expensive hydrogen cars.
I am seeing you being part of the “fusion is almost here” crowd, EVs don’t need to improve anymore to be competitive, but they most likely will, considering that the market for EVs is pretty big nowadays.

It is literally physically impossible to increase the efficiency of electricity-> hydrogen -> electricity above 30%, and that’s if everything is perfect.
EVs are above 70% efficient in the real world btw.
Hydrogen will be useful to decarbonise some parts of heavy industry where electricity cannot be directly used, but that’s about it.
There is a reason why fossil fuel industries are pushing hydrogen, because it means that the car makers can keep selling combustion cars until hydrogen is ready, which it never will be.
And even if hydrogen cars were somewhat ready in 10 years, EVs and the charging stations would also be much better than they are now.
And hydrogen has such a low density that a tanker truck could only carry hydrogen for around 100 car refills, compared to 600-900 that a normal tanker truck does. So every gas station would have to be connected to a hydrogen pipeline, which will realistically never happen.

If I want to be able to access my trunk easily I will have to go forwards.
Otherwise I always go backwards.

Except Steam never deletes games that you already own or takes them away from you for other reasons.
Yes, they could do that in the future but its the one company where that is unlikely.

Holy shit, 300mg caffeine sounds insane to me (a German). Over here Energy Drinks are not allowed to contain more than 32mg caffeine/100ml. So a big can (500ml) would have 160ml. Those are already a bit too much for me, I can only imagine how 300mg would feel.
