More like Sony doesn’t want to cannibalize selling their own dedicated Blu-ray players for a much higher profit margin.
A $100 bluray drive, an Ugoos am6, and coreelec can get play everything for way less than a high end bluray player that can cost $1000.
Shame it doesn’t support dolby vision though.
Transporting food halfway across the world ain’t free either.
Not in one exposure. Human eyes are much better with dealing with extremely high contrasts.
Cameras can be much more sensitive, but at the cost of overexposing brighter regions in an image.
While pork and poultry are not great for the environment either, they have nothing on the methane emissions of ruminating animals like cows.
I can’t control the infrastructure that requires me to drive a car.
Ehh I disagree, I played consistently ow1 for years and ow2 just wasn’t as good.
I mainly missed tank synergies. Without it the game just wasn’t the same. The other tank changes were just insane too. And I preferred the full 6v6 experience.
Then they had to go an monetize the shit out of it, when I already paid for the game! The last straw was either paying for new characters or grinding like hell.
Honestly plug in hybrids are the worst of both worlds.
There was a study recently from Europe that found the vast majority of people with plug in hybrids hardly every plugged them in, and drove them like normal cars. That defeats the entire point of a plug in hybrid, and now you are carrying a heavy battery everywhere that you are not fully using. Which makes the car less efficient than a normal hybrid!
Too be fair, it is not the choice of individual Americans to live in and be dependent on a society that was forced to become car centric and dependent.
With very few options to travel by car, and the large dominance of single family homes, we don’t get many options.
Fuck people who drive gas guzzling trucks and giant suvs though. That is just unnecessary. But again car manufacturers have been slowly convincing Americans to purchase larger more expensive suvs for obvious reasons.
This issue is absolutely a governmental policy choice, and one that is continuing to be upheld.
Grid storage wouldn’t be lithium ion, something like lithium phosphate would be better.
Step one, buy in bulk to get a price closer to $150/kwh
Step 2, use for much longer than 2000 cycles, lfp have much longer expected lifetimes, and since space/weight aren’t a huger consideration, you can replace individual cells when they go bad.
Step 3, produce your own energy, if you have your own energy generation, you don’t need to pay grid prices, and profit is much better.
Disclaimer, I am not an expert in this at all, but this is how I imagine it could make sense.
They’ve had fab problems for years, in that it cost them a ton on money and much longer than desired to shrink nodes, so they’ve fallen from a leader in fab production to being behind.
Not to mention there’s not much money to be made from fabs, unless your tsmc.
AMD, Qualcomm, Nvidia, Google, Apple, are all huge tech companies that design their own cutting edge chips, and only Samsung is another company that both designs and produces chips.
Ehh mastodon and lemmy don’t see a ton of cross talk. Threads is mainly going to affect mastodon instances.
Huh, well I got myself a galaxy watch 6 for like $200, and so far it seems solid.
It easily lasts a day, could probably go for 2 if I tried.
Diversity is important, but it’s still better to go after larger sources of energy first. There’s just not much energy to be recovered from falling rain or waste from cars.
Make the cars waste less energy, or the transit system in general is much easier and will actually save money long term.
Ehh it’s still a rubbish idea, that money would be much better spent going after primary producers of energy, like solar, wind, geothermal, or nuclear.
Some napkin math and an equivalent area of solar, say over a road or parking lot would produce 3.5 million kwh in a year.
Honestly I’d wonder if the wear on brake pads could be cheaper than the additional strain on the battery.
You can’t slow down with regen without putting the energy somewhere, and that’s the point of brakes, they convert kinetic energy into thermal to slow you down.
The point of regen is to not waste the energy and put most of it back into a battery. At the scale of an ebikes, the additional components electronics, battery thermal management, and so on for regen are more expensive than just adding 20% more battery.
Unless you wanted to make an expensive, super efficient or very light ebike, it just doesn’t make sense at the moment.
That will not likely always be true if we ever use different battery chemistry and the cost of regen electronics goes down.
It’s not a common feature.
It doesn’t make as much sense to do on an bike, mainly because regenerative breaking requires more expensive electronics and stresses the battery more.
My family has 7 ebikes, all different models and none has regen.
I am confused, the gear s3 came out in 2016, so even 2 years ago it was already 6 years old.
That is not what I would consider new smartwatches these days.
As someone who checked it out for physics here’s my experience:
Anything that could easily be found and be correct that would be found on chegg, would be easily repeated by chatgpt, and with usually clearer solutions that was easier for slightly different problem prompts.
Anything that could not be well answered by chatgpt likely would not have a good solution on chegg, being either outright wrong, or extremely confusing as an answer.
