1.1 kW array, draped over the car is going to produce more like 0.7kW at best and probably less due to clouds and sub optimal angles. Good EV efficiency is like 3mi/kWh and let’s assume you get 8 good hours of sun, which may be generous depending on local weather and time of year. I think you’re only going to see about 16 miles of range added per day.
I don’t buy the “negligible” effect to air resistance and lower speeds. There are just too many factors.
So I guess if you commute less than 16 miles round trip, and you can easily remove it when going on longer, high-speed trips it might solve your lack of outlet. But I stand by the fact that if you can’t charge either at home or at work, electric may not suit your needs. I’m not a hater, both my wife and I drive EVs, just realistically they don’t suit everyone.
In the early days they were everything I wanted in an Android device. Hardware sold with minimal markup, long battery life, and easily customizable when it came to the swapping ROM’s. Their customer service was also fantastic.
Then they slowly raised margins and the hardware wasn’t cheaper than other flagships. Then they started making their own ROM and making it harder to swap it out. Now they’re just another Android. Nothing sets them apart from pretty much any other device.
On top of that, their customer service is now on the deny delay defend flow. If you have a problem and you need their support, you will regret going with them. If you don’t have a problem, you’ll probably be fine. But why go with them at all, nothing they offer is better than a Samsung or LG.
Loved them at first, but they fully enshitified after OPPO. They were also on my blocklist for future purchases after claiming my trade in was damaged presenting pictures with no damage.
This would require the bank industry to invest in technology, and that would cost money. Banks are for making money, not spending it. Charge just enough to the consumers to cover whatever losses are brought about by the archaic system and you successfully pass on all losses to the account holders.
A lot has already been said, but one I didn’t see that I truly never expected is that I’m losing my grip strength. I drop things all the time now, and those pickle jars don’t open nearly as easily.
I think the “steam roller” from Meta PCs proves that it’s reasonable. Similar price, slightly better specs, but not crazy better. Though I do like the fact they have a full on video card that can be independently upgraded. It’s a shit market currently.
A lot of it is tax based, but there are some other factors. CA has high fuel taxes, but they also have higher standards to ensure cleaner burning. AZ is a good place to see how much difference the cleaner burning fuel costs because Maricopa county (Phoenix area) requires gas stations to use CA standard fuel, but not the rest of the state. So compare gas in Phoenix to gas in Tucson.
There are a lot of other factors such as transportation costs, and infrastructure that keeps gas cheaper in the southern states where there are more refineries. Or coastal states where crude oil is more easily shipped to.
So, this is for 100% automated cabs. There would be no driver controls whatsoever in these. That way you can use every seat for a passenger. But there is a federal requirement for a brake pedal. This means despite there being no steering wheel, a brake pedal would still be present. But why? There’s a whole bunch of extra hardware for the pedal, and it will never actually be used in normal operation. So that regulation needs to be removed if there are no other human controls to enable robot.
I don’t have an opinion for or against robot cabs. Just explaining what it’s going on here.
It helps explain why their English isn’t great. The guy behind the profile is likely in Southeast Asia, so it explains when he slips up with some phrase from that region.
The company is real. The person the dad is talking to isn’t the real CEO. The public presence will all check out. If the dad can validate that publicly, the scammer found the info publicly and is just an imposter.
This is such a small step, but at least it’s a step. If politicians actually want to solve the problem, they have to prevent any legal entity from owning many single family homes. Make the limit something like 2, so a family can still have their cabin in the woods and their city home or whatever. So that you don’t flood the market and yank grandmas retirement plan of selling her home and moving to a retirement community start off big. For example starting this year no entity can own more than 100 homes. Next year it’s 90, then keep cutting by 10 a year till you get to 2. This will free up massive amounts of homes over the next 10 years. To plug the loophole of just spinning up LLCs to own houses, make it so corporations can only own multifamily residential of 4 or more units. Penalties need to have teeth as well. $100k fine per home initially, scaling up to seizing the property and selling to the highest bidder.
This will have the added effect of also preventing builders from just sitting on new builds till they get their ridiculous price. New builds will go to auction if not sold within a year of passing their certificate of occupancy.
There’s a lot more that’ll need to happen to keep rental apartments affordable as well, but getting corps out of single-family is a great start.
Not just fantasy. It was determined on gallons instead of some percentage of the water flowing. Nature doesn’t care about how many gallons humans want to divvy up.
Look into which ones have the modem on a dedicated fuse for easy disabling. The modern F150 generation, including the Lightning EV truck, have a single fuse you can pull that disables a few things, none of which are vital.

Might want to get into this. Would this emulator allow me to play off disks in my Blu-ray drive? Or will I need to find/make disk images?
That doesn’t help if they have to be at work before the birds are out of their roosts.
One of my favorite sandwiches is to spread peanut butter on a hot dog bun, add the banana, drizzle on some honey. Delicious.

Italian sourced spelling with French sourced pronunciation. So not an English word, just a bastardized loan word.

Care to share so the rest of us don’t have to wade through the slop?
Barely. Blue gov and blue senators. But still sending more red reps to Washington.
