Well now you know who got the Flock kickbacks and free dinners to vote yes on their contract.

Fym “borderline”??

As long as they don’t enshittify

lol you don’t know how this works yet

Its never an if, its a when. And that when is VERY soon.

The technology is sound and the drawbacks are massively overblown by the fossil fuel lobby. But Old style monolithic nuclear doesn’t make any economic sense in the modern world. The regulatory system in most western countries plus mechanical complexity doesn’t allow for it to be built in any reasonable timeframe.

SMR’s might make a decent dent in decentralized grid situations tbh. Otherwise it’s going to be everyone holding out for fusion to magically get its ass into gear.

Ironic, 100% chance he’s a pedo

Any corporate anything using CCTV is scanning your face too.

Haha yeah, that’s a good way to keep batteries more healthy.

I mostly just applying my undergrad chemistry classes here to make an educated guess, nothing official…

Reactions are limited by the quantity of reagents and the mixing rate. As reagents are consumed (or produced), fresh reagent must move towards (or away) from the active anode and cathode for the reaction to continue.

In flooded liquid electrolyte batteries (like lead acid), mixing is very high and it’s surface area that affects charge/discharge performance. In absorbed mat chemistries like most modern lithium ions, surface area is very high but electrolyte is “trapped” next to its immediate cathode/anode and cannot easily migrate throughout the matrix.

In lead acids this sort of diffusion is extremely fast. In packed lithium ions it is definitely slower. When diffusion is too slow, the lithium ions will form dendrites (little spikes) where a gradient of ions exist because they are being deposited onto the electrode faster than the electrolyte can move ions. Thats usually what kills batteries over time and why ultra fast charge/discharge cycles are terrible for them.

Breaks from use makes perfect sense though, it allows the electrolyte to diffuse evenly. During charge /discharge cycles there’s always more or less active electrolyte being consumed/produced at the anodes and cathodes, resting means it can equalize.

And also have the ability to turn off people’s legal existence when they get up to too much anti-corporate shenanigans.

They would pay nearly any price

Literally any price except paying skilled employees.

It’ll be like every other car with driver assistance and every other advanced feature now, everything gets strapped to the same CANbus and unified powerttrain control module so disabling one part of the system causes the car to get stuck in limp mode, have constant nusiance alerts, and fail state inspections to get registered.

Their “facial recognition” ends up just being a binary switch on a light detector

Its ok tho, there’s no recession, becuz stock marmket!!! 11!1!11!!!

“Parents Decide Act”

Yet text of it has basically nothing about parents in it, just government data collection lol

well neither did Obama personally write the affordable care act, but here we are

unrelated but I just want to say theres like 4 separate comments using the word “TrumpID” to describe this age verification, and i think this would be a great way to mock it just like how conservatives called the aca “ObamaCare”

Don’t give them even better ideas. To you it sounds ridiculous, to them it sounds like “we can ban people we don’t like from using modern technology by invalidating their age verification”

“You figure out what was wrong with PLC7 yet?”

“Nah, TrumpCard ID systems are down, can’t log in.”

“Cool, guess the city is going without running water tonight.”

Without the document text, who knows. But I would not consider it a stretch for a court challenge to interpret “operating system” as “any software that allows a person to interact with computing or electronic hardware”. Which would blanket cover all embedded devices.
