Whatever compromise anyone tries to come up with will be ignored and exploited as hard as advertisers possibly can.

A compromise that actually works would depend on advertisers actually complying. The advertisers that do will be vastly outnumbered by the advertisers that don’t.

So we’re getting the arms race either way.

I’m not interested in my computer striking a balance between my needs and the needs of people seeking to manipulate me into buying things.

I paid for my computer, it serves my needs. Yes I do run Linux, how did you guess?

There’s no such thing as stopping processor degradation, it’s just that it usually takes so long that nobody cares anymore.

Headline is dumb. If capacitors are better at being batteries than batteries are, they just become the next generation of batteries.

This. Removing the $200 Android tablet from the dash isn’t going to make cars suddenly $5,000 cheaper.

Every other country already has similar standards, though. So they don’t need to design anything new, they can just actually start selling those cars in Australia instead of their obsolete junk that can’t be sold anywhere else.

TIL there’s an Amazon app store.

At 26 grand, you’re approaching the 38 grand that a Dolphin costs. And that’ll get you a brand new vehicle, bigger battery, CCS2 and a manufacturer’s warranty.

That’s due to battery prices. You can’t pay $25,000 for a battery, put it in a shitbox and sell it for $30,000 because nobody’s going to buy a $30,000 car with the features and quality of a $5,000 car. Batteries can only be maybe a third of the cost of a car, so everyone’s been targeting the top of the market with expensive EVs.

The good news is, battery prices are continuing to plummet each year. When you have $2,000 batteries, $12,000 cars are doable.

I’m not sure I want a system which rolled their own date handling holding my credit card details. Wanna bet they rolled their own crypto too?

It repeats things that sort of sound intelligent to try and convince everyone that actual intelligent thought is taking place? It really is just like humans!

Yeah it is. The training data skews white, so they added a “make some people non-white” kludge. It wouldn’t be needed if there was actually racial diversity in the training data.

It’d make the world a better place, but a big company would make slightly less money, therefore it’s unthinkable to even attempt it.

I’m not sure Lemmy has many users old enough to get that reference.

Depends whether Elon made the decision or Captain Sensible snuck in and did it while Elon was playing with Twitter.

It’s not like Tesla doesn’t have smart people, they just don’t get to make the decisions some of the time.

If you live in an apartment and own a car, you’re parking it somewhere. Put the chargers there.

What does that have to do with grid demand?

We’ve got enough excess supply coming online as people install solar that we’re seeing the wholesale electricity price occasionally flip negative. We might not have enough power to satisfy 2035’s demand today, but we can accommodate a lot more EVs than we’ve got on the road.

The argument against your example scales, though. You can do demand management with EV chargers, either at the household level or grid scale. Unless your power supply is running so close to the edge it can’t cope with existing normal usage, adding EV charging in the midnight to 6am period when power consumption is otherwise really low works just fine. And nobody cares if their car took 6 hours to charge instead of 5, because they sleep through it.
