Mad Max would at least be the most metal way to dystopia lol

Let’s not propagate this argument disingenuously. Electric cars aren’t perfect, but a quick check of the history of the combustion engine will tell us that sufficient time and R&D will take care of many of the mining and materials issues that exist in current electric car manufacturing processes.

Ok cool- sounds like a good move. Thanks for the explanation.

Yay ignorance!

As a newly converted Fedora user, has this x11 been an issue or is this simply an aesthetics/preference thing?

I asked gpt4 to explain this abstract in terms a high schooler would understand.

Sure, this text is talking about making better batteries. Right now, a type of material called “mixed transition metal oxides” has potential to be a really good component in batteries. But there are problems like they don’t hold as much energy as we’d like, they’re hard to make, and they don’t conduct electricity well.

So, the researchers made a new version of these materials, tweaking them with manganese and iron. They used a new, easier method to make super-thin sheets of this stuff. This new material can hold a lot of energy, way more than the old versions.

The thin sheets also let electric charges move more easily, which is good for battery performance. Plus, they made sure that the material doesn’t expand too much, which helps keep the battery stable over time.

So basically, they made a high-performance battery material that can be charged quickly, holds a lot of energy, and lasts a long time. It’s like creating a new recipe for a better, longer-lasting smartphone battery.

I’ve tried to migrate my account several times in the past. It never works for some reason. Also, I can never seem to untangle the web of deceit known as Microsoft/xbox/Minecraft profiles and family/group settings. About once a year I spend a couple hours trying to sort it out and then give up because it never works. Google can be awful sometimes but at least they figured out “sign in with Google”

The iPhone is their cash cow. They need it to bring stable and sizeable income to fund things like vr goggles. I’m not saying the haters are wrong, just that their expectations for what Apple will innovate on the iPhone might be a little misplaced.

Two years ago I was going to but my first ford, my first truck, AND my first electric because it was the same car. On paper the F150 Lightning seems like the most practical family car ever made. Dealer markup and low volume completely killed it. Ford should eliminate dealerships and sell direct with fixed pricing.

School will never be as interesting as a phone. Your teacher will never be as entertaining as an influencer. Your textbooks will never be as entertaining as your feed. What families and teenagers have to understand is that education is a choice. If you want to learn, you’ll probably have to put your phone down for long periods of time to actively listen and learn. It’s difficult. It tires you out. It’ll frustrate you. But you will eventually learn.

Then again - when I look at home prices and inflation, I understand young people’s feelings of futility.

Good luck young people. I’m really rooting for you to figure this out.

Fingers crossed for an M3 MacBook Air!

Grew up in the south in the 80s and left for Canada 20 years ago. The writing has been on the wall for forever. The south will not change. People who don’t like it and are able will continue to leave.

The user reviews are where it’s at on rotten tomatoes. The critic reviews have been kinda suspect for a while.

Well…they had to pay off the politicians that would write these nice little laws for them so it’s not all free, right!? /sarcasm

Disco Elysium. It’s much more than funny, but it can also be really funny. Cuno is really funny.

They want to kill the site and license the data. Same with Twitter. It’s the only explanation that makes sense based on what they’re doing.

Remember when the IT guy at mar a lago switched to states evidence when he got his own lawyer? Yeah - you probably don’t want trump’s lawyers anyway lol.

The classic Wizard vs Bard debate.

Modernizing engagement by going on talk shows and using social media is smart. The message is what makes the difference. Republicans stopped caring about a message that progressed the country around Bush jr. Ever since then been a decline into tribalism and gaslighting. At least Obama ran on something positive.

These debates seem more and more like massive focus groups. They get the non-contenders to say preposterous things with two goals: see what sticks and propagate lies.
