8.5 GWh / 85 MW = 100 hours, or around 4 days. If they can build it cheap enough, this is the kind of battery we would need to replace nuclear for dealing with the day-to-day variability of renewables.

Will the Mediatek modules also support VESA Adaptive Sync, or will they have fixed frame rate on AMD cards?

“We are in the late stages of having a user base”

.gov is allowed for use by any governments that invented the internet.

.us is sketchy AF. They should use something.gov.

fd00::x is shorter than 192.168.x.x

Technically you’re supposed to use fdxx:xxxx:xxxx::x, but on your home network nobody cares.

Did you mean caveat emptor (buyer beware), or do you refer to Amazon as caveat emporium (the beware market)?

Roughly speaking, fd00::123 is the IPv6 equivalent of 192.168.0.123

A device on your private IPv4 network can send packets directly to 104.21.36.127 via NAT. How will it send packets to 2606:4700:3033::6815:247f? There’s not enough space in the IPv4 header.

You can statically number a LAN with fd00::/8 and NAT66 to the internet, if you really want to.

Self-driving trucks will never be 100% autonomous. They will need a reliable data connection to a control center so humans can figure out how to deal with exceptional situations.

There will probably be occasional stupid traffic jams until the technology is perfected. As long as they avoid murderous rampages, we should be okay.

They’re saying $2.99 because it sounds better than $36/year.

The battery can deliver a stable voltage output of 1.25 V and a capacity of 110 mAh/g

110 mAh/g * 1.25 V * 1000 g/kg = 137 Wh/kg.

Lithium ion is around 250 Wh/kg, so this battery is around twice as heavy.

On Chrome, I only ever recall seeing the dialog when I install an extension, or if an extension is updated to use additional permissions.

Firefox MV3 is different, in that the all_urls permission cannot be granted on install. If an extension requests all_urls, it installs with the permission disabled. The user has to manually enable it for one site or all.

IPvFoo is mostly useless without all_urls, which is why I made it show that button until the permission is granted.

Firefox requires explicit user interaction to grant the all_urls permission, although this only applies to Manifest V3. Here’s what it looks like on my extension:

I could’ve just reverted to Manifest V2 to avoid that step, but V3 will probably become mandatory someday.

Frankly I find that bot annoying. I just commented because it replied to me.

I’m mainly complaining about this:

The pipedbot issue is related, but less important.

But even when I use the workaround, Piped still posts a broken link.

The workaround is to use [url](url), like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wupToqz1e2g&t=96s.

“Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

There probably is some value in understanding why “evil” things were attractive to people at the time, because if you believe that evil always looks unambiguously evil, then you might fail to notice when it happens again.
