- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 35 minutes ago:
Why are people “buying” DRM infested books? They don’t own anything. “Their” books can be taken away at the whim of the seller. Their rights can change with a change to the EULA. There are other legal ways to use e-readers (not Kindles) that let you keep and back up what you buy.

- Comment on CATL says next-gen sodium-ion battery supports 500 km range, readies for 2026 mass production 6 days ago:
The numbers I’ve seen:
LFP: mid 90s
Sodium: low to mid 80sLFP seems better for cars unless you live in an area that deals with extreme cold. Sodium is better (cheaper) for fixed, large quantity storage where energy density is not as critical and lower efficiency is an acceptable trade off for lower price.

They are cheaper and the low temperature performance is better than LFP, but the round trip efficiency is less than LFP.

Why is Red on the left and Blue on the right? Don't tell the MAGA crowd or they will try to pass another law...
- Comment on Big tech should release some privacy friendly products 2 weeks ago:
Big tech is hooked on having two revenue streams. One from product sales, one from customer information sales. Why would they willingly give one up?
- Comment on The Browser Company (Arc, Dia) Has Been Acquired by Atlassian 2 weeks ago:
The main problem with A.I. isn't that it can't be a useful tool, it is that the creators can't resist the urge to take the opportunity to hoover up every bit of data they can from the users. That and they are spending billions of dollars in A.I. creation. You don't spend that kind of money to help your employees do their jobs, you spend that money to replace your employees.

- Comment on Linux Mint 22.2 “Zara” Is Now Available for Download 2 weeks ago:
It doesn't seem like that big of an update. Unless you need something listed in the release notes, you can stay where you are. I am running 21.3. It is good until 2026. My configuration is a bit complex and I hate spending the time to update.
