oh, well then yeah, do what google wants. makes sense.

Oh, well then yeah lets do what google wants.

Yeah... This can’t come soon enough. USB was supposed to be Universal. Add a functionality if you want, but make it cross compatible. No reason that Qualcomm’s QC 4.0 version can’t be something “on top of” USB-PD, like something that unlocks an extra 10% or some sort of optimization.

Now that’s an amazing set of techniques. Imagine applying it to special forces entry, where a border is defined as the ridge of the mountain, with persistent radar coverage all around it. They’d be lost in the ground clutter immensely.

While waiting for a table, get the lemonaid they are making, honestly some of the best I’ve had.

Ugh, I absolutely hated being stuck on a Carnival cruise ship for a week...

Well, that’s the other guy’s problem lol, didn’t see people complaining about being behind the Chaparral 2J did we? wait...

Vent the air upwards for downforce, duh lol.

Yeah, iirc it had a natural gas turbine onboard to generate the electricity, so it was actually a hybrid. That said, it’s honestly an extremely efficient setup, since you can run the gas turbine at peak efficiency to charge the batteries, and only run it at peak efficiency.

Yes, the Nikola semi truck (vaporware?) is designed around a 320 kWh pack, it’s basically 32,000 18650 batteries smushed together. Its massive, but it should be, its commercial vehicle oriented. Until we can increase power density significantly beyond the constraints of the 18650 based packaging, 320 kWh will likely…

Well he mentioned a few different form factors for the batteries, I’m thinking there for instance could be for instance 6 classes of battery. Smallest could be a 10 kwh, 20, 40, 80, 160 and 320 kwh packs. Packaging then becomes much easier, a car with a 120 kwh rating could hold three 40 kwh, or an 80 and a 40,…

I think the only reason I use mine ever is because my mother likes to video chat and I live 1510 miles away...

Ah yes, I swung and missed. Appeals to the average are of course critical. I hear you loud and clear. Agreed.

What’s marginal cost of a small row of switches if incorporated into the design? I’d gladly pay ~$50 more for that. While it may be excessive to have a whole row, it could also be a selling feature. While definitely not oriented at the “where’d the internet button on the desktop go?” crowd, I’m betting anyone who…

Some are lower power, others are higher. I’m guessing in the grand scheme of things, much more data is being sent via radio waves, but the total emissions from a power standpoint are within one or two orders of magnitude compared to ~20 or ~50 years ago. At this point it’s merely fermi estimation as far as how much…

HAARP IS NOT ABOUT MIND CONTROL I PROMISE!

My mind works in pretty dark ways...

I think those are silly, but whatever, point still stands as they should have a ton more space than laptops do in theory.

Are you sure? We’re creating more and more, it’s just focused into different band plans. Yes we don’t create as much “random” noise since we don’t use things like spark gap radios anymore, but compare 2.4 ghz in 1990's to today... you’ll see microwave ovens then, but you’ll see wifi now. It’s changing, it’s more…

But on desktops you can just unplug the usb cord?
