It will be less efficient, yes. But it is still a net positive. If it is cheaper to build it there, you can just add more power to compensate for that loss in efficiency.

It will not be a 100% loss. For reference: the power loss of the transmission in the US is on average 5%. Let’s say it is double that, it is still very little in the grand scheme.

Mainly for cheaper applications which are not as weight (and size) sensitive. One example is entry level EVs or home energy storage.

Or the subsidies on fossil…

Where do you take that number from? 1MWh/mo seems quite high. Also considering that the stored energy will only be used when solar or wind are low, the battery will never be used to supply 100% of the electricity.

So it will support many more homes.

The Wolf Amendment, named after former US representative Frank Wolf, prohibits NASA from using government funds to cooperate with the Chinese government — unless it has certification from the FBI that such collaboration poses no threats to national security or risks inadvertently leaking space-related tech or data.

So, it is not like China does not want to cooperate.

To be honest: a laptop that requires 240W of power is really not a portable laptop anymore, is it?

The battery wouldn’t last even half an hour, and that would be with the maximum 100Wh you can take on an airplane.

They could get a bonus or a factor. But I wouldn’t completely exempt them.

We also need smaller EVs.

Don’t forget that big combustion cars also create more CO2

Not everyone is following gossip…

They try to make the job as easy as possible, so no training is required and literally anybody could do the work. That way they don’t need any skilled labor at all. Basically just any warm body.

Microsoft 365 is the easy solution. Schools usually don’t have the people and/or the Know-how to implement alternative, well working, solutions.

Why do all these phone manufacturers get intentionally worse every year in terms of repairability?

Carbon steel is literally a type of metal. If you write „carbon free steel“ it is not surprising if it confuses people.

You don’t allow location and are surprised that it does not know you location? Am I missing something here? Why is that surprising?

? No. Make it Linux. Android is not a desktop operating system.

To be honest, current batteries are already designed to last over 10 years. And with them charging at over 100kW, a 15min break every 3h of travel is all you really need (and you should do anyway for you own sanity).

I agree that people are anxious because of these reasons, but just because they have never really tried long range travel with an EV.

Mm it especially talks about sensing, I don’t think I want the theme park to know my heart rate or other vital signs.

Could be useful for hospitals for example.

Even this Lemmy thread has more participants than the survey

Not only performance but Software Support. Let’s see if they can do what Apple did and have virtually all software running on arm
