Printed circuit board.

Although we don't see it, all of these developments do actually eventually make their way into battery tech. The batteries of today are not the batteries of 2014.

Encoding engine basically requires it, so you'd need to implement a hack or something. https://www.reddit.com/r/IntelArc/comments/189cgsm/intel_arc_h265_encoding_performance_and_resizable/

Goodluck with that.

I would highly highly highly recommend a atomic distro. It's going to be a much nicer sandbox for someone starting out, regardless of age.

And if memory recalls the look wasn't so good when the rifles started going off...

China is a massive economy and country with some of the most advanced manufacturering and tooling in the entire world. Yes, it could be shoddy, but it's in a ship and is going to be far more regoriously scrutinized by their regulatory bodies than a normal stationary battery would be. I understand the plausiblity of your comment, but it seems to be rooted in prejudice or extreme ignorance.

These batteries are likely far more complex in packaging, design, and thermal management that any consumer electronic cell. They'll likely "fail safely" if/when they do fail.

They'll just buy the entire startups back using their mountain of accumulated wealth and the cycle will repeat.

I think maybe you're still missing the field for the trees. USB C oddly as it's named has for almost all of it's life been a connector standard, of which open connector standards (that arguably weren't as good) existed back then in the form of micro and mini usb which for charging would be more than adequate vs rolling your own connector. I think the thing apple pursued here by rolling there own wasn't even the royalties on it, but direct control of the 3rd party peripheral market (music docks, etc, etc). They've always made safe choices to ensure their market dominance through secondary market forces vs primary ones. Fwiw I'd have had no criticism for Apple regarding lightning if they opened the standard and shared it.

Now. As far as RCS goes. That's just the fault of the people. It takes legitimately 5 minutes at most to download and sign up for signal, or another secure message provider, and the average user has chosen to completely ignore this and use whatever standard their carrier sold them with the phone. Yes carriers, Google, and everyone else should shoulder a ton of blame for settling on such a paltry default, but it's as easy and seamless as it can possibly be to switch off that default and rather than migrate to another (like most other countries) the US population has decided to firmly stick their heads in the sand and use only the default, going as far to forgo "difficult and complex mfa security keys" (not even that difficult. Just scan a qr code and cloud sync for your mfa app) in favor of expensive, insecure, and quite frankly stupid mfa through sms. Its just not a tech issue at this point, but a user issue because people get too attached to defaults or too insistent on not changing. Just look at internet Explorer. Msft had it at end of life status for nearly a decade and people still insisted upon using it, right up until they ripped it from the os, and having worked in the industry I can assure you the users with the firmest grip on IE didn't want it for compatibility reasons. They wanted it because the disliked change.

I think your blame is misplaced. The EU is trying to protect you from that. The tech companies prefer life much harder. iPhones for example were a holdout for over 10 years while every single other phone manufacturer agreed to a common charging standard that was open and even interchangeable with everyday rechargeable embedded devices. The cookies prompt doesn't have to exist either. It's fully within the rights of the website to forgo it, but then they'd have to forgo siphoning your profitable data from you and the prompt is merely the regulatory body requiring that they offer you a choice. They could default it to off and even prompt you once to enable it, but the design is specifically meant to be frustrating so you get upset at the regulation protecting you instead of the product using you.

I think you may want to rebase and regulate your feed more selectively, especially if you're getting multiple reposts. The reason they bring it up in the article though is because it's a direct quote from the published investigation. As far as the other stuff, in my (Apple agnostic, I have many of their devices but no loyalty) opinion I and the userbase have only benefited from EU influence. sent from my iPhone currently charging over usb c

Did you.. Just... Uh... Skip over the part where the number of business users were 11x the set threshold because you found it irrelevant to your argument or so you could remain angry and hopefully get others angry without them having the relevant information as well?

Half the tool chains

It's also worth noting that transport does not have a zero cost on the environment. It's why we did away with glass, it's so heavy it actually becomes carbon intensive to transport. Especially when you account for greater spoilage percentages (due to the glass being mishandled and breaking more often than alternatives). The equation isn't as simple as it would seem. The true solution is less likely single use drink containers of any kind and more likely some sort of reusable bottle you carry around with you and could fill up.

Weight is also a factor. All these bottles/etc are often transported in very carbon intensive supply chains. Any additional weight scales that footprint and has to be managed.

It's less likely we're at the limit and more likely that the companies producing ai/llm tools are aiming for profitability instead of research/next gen implementation. Consider a current popular known use case for ai: Taking a fast food order. Now current estimates put a single query to chat gpt 4 to cost within the realm of 20-40 cents. Not exactly profitable if you're trying to sell a $1.50 hamburger. If you can pair down these same mostly capable models so electricity and hardware costs are negligible, suddenly you open yourself up to a world of profitability.

This is the way
