It’s never been about data privacy. Never.

It’s always been about control. Always?

Snape: “Always.”

Seems like they watch Twitter and how they get away with being next level scummy and want to make this the new normal.

There’s not even a good rival to Facebook. It’s a shitshow and people use it anyway.

I mean, they know US companies already work with the US military. That’s why they assume the Chinese companies also do.

Like Google providing US military equipment to Israel.

Takes one to know one, US government. Nobody trusts you either.

We already met it.

It said that Taiwan was a part of One China, and it even used the phrase “we” when discussing it, as it agreed with the CCP policy.

From my search:

“The “+” sign in the WiFi logo indicates that your device is connected to a WiFi network and is using enhanced WiFi features such as WiFi Calling (VoWiFi) or faster data transfer protocols like WiFi 6, depending on your device and network capabilities.”

That’s not the sad part. It is companies going for maximising profit as aggressively as possible, meaning they don’t care if they could earn 20 mil on this game, if they can get 50 on another.

Walking the plank or hanged by the city wall maybe?

I’m actually going to disagree a bit here and say, I think it somewhat makes sense.

Buses have specific routes, and can be trained to perfect those. Not all routes will be suitable, but some will.

Hope they make a public database for these routes, and are able to use the self driving data to learn from it.

I’m already looking forward to the anniversary of this. I always see your posts.

I remember seeing Day 1. Didn’t think I should see Day 149.

Keep it up, Atticus.

My head hurts

The upside, in short, is density.

The silicon batteries can store alot more power in the same size and weight.

That means you can put alot more power into your existing size of hardware.

It’s also extremely beneficial for electric cars, which can either lower the weight on the car or put more juice in it. Both increasing the range.

For your point about replaceable batteries, it’s true. If we can replace batteries, the hardware will not be lost. But everything comes down to how often we need to replace them. How fast does these batteries really degrade in real world use? It can leave us with even worse ecological challenges and might be very expensive. We need a strong reuse culture for this to not be a new catastrophic environmental case.

The real deal is this though:

A third option is Solid State Batteries and is still the best solution for the future, but it’s not fully ready for commercial use yet. They do not seem to have any of the downsides from both lithium and silicon. But again, it’s not ready.

Yes, in phones we can limit the damage by using slow chargers.

But when it gets hot, it’s also a lot worse than with lithium. Not only do they degrade permanently, but they also loose more power while in the given operation.

Meaning while hot, your battery might burn 10% but only use 5% worth of power.

Some phones also gets hot when gaming or shooting pics or videos because of the CPU. If the thermals are manged poorly, it can permanently damage the battery as well, which we do not see in lithium.

They have two downsides but more upsides.

The silicon is not without limitation and will degrade faster. You will see your battery becoming worse and worse, but I’m not sure how fast it will break even with a traditional Li-Ion battery, calculating in the higher density in silicon.

The other downside is that silicon does not work as well in higher temperatures, and that can be a problem if the battery gets too hot. It’s the same mechanism in CPUs also consisting of silicon. They will be considerably worse performing at high temperature.

I hope they can improve on this, but it might be limitations of silicon as a material, meaning not much can be achieved.

If they can fix the cycle life on those new batteries, I’m the first to buy them.

But I’m not buying a phone with higher battery degration as of right now.

like the great depression, but only for already poor folk

The US have always been fascists, even before Trump. And if you’re in doubt what fascist means, because the word is misused basically everywhere, then this is a great example.

Yeah, that would be an Xbox controller.

You then need to buy a dongle for the Switch, and that’s what the guy above is talking about. If you do that, you can play on all your mentioned devices with only one controller.

They vaped with vapes with taste. That’s the only appeal for disposable ones.

They banned taste in Denmark, so it has to taste like tobacco. That’s why they import disposable now. It’s incredibly stupid.

They will be imported as crazy.

Denmark already banned it, but they are everywhere. Literally everywhere. It might be the biggest “black market” right now for anything really.

They need refillable ones. Chargeable. It needs to be a product you buy, and they have it for a loooong time, only to buy more fluid.

You can’t stop it by banning it, and it’s better than smoking, so please just give us the eco friendly alternative.
