  • I do not believe it would be unless you had previously signed a contact agreeing to the conditions. If that doesn't hold water I could see tesla arguing that you are allowed to sell the vehicle however you may not sell the software included in the vehicle as that's their intellectual property and they only authorized you to use it. And since you can't separate the software from the vehicle it would accomplish the same thing.

  • ZFS will do block level deduplication but requires a large table be stored in ram. The issue arises that the cost to increase your ram to keep up with that table size usually ends up being a lot more than just adding more storage.

    I do believe most games have an inflated size due to uncompressed assets being included which a file system level compression could help with so long as you have the CPU to spare.

  • UV-c lights are actually much cheaper than UV black lights as they don't require the phosphor coating required to block the harmful frequencies. On top of that there was a flood of UV-c bulbs onto the market from the pandemic.

    What really should have tipped them off that they are using bulbs is that UV-c bulbs emit a more blue color whereas black lights emit a purple color. Or the wierd smell emitting from the ozone coming off the bulbs.

  • We have flying cars, they are called airplanes or more specifically civil utility aircraft. You know, like the Cessna 172.

    Flying vehicles aren't more mainstream because of the cost. A new plane can cost over half a million dollars while a used plane can easily be over a hundred thousand dollars. And that's just the cost of the plane.

    The other reason is because the rules are more strict and are actually enforced. If a pilot flew their plane like the average person drives their car they would be sitting in jail await trail for attempt murder.

  • I agree electric doesn't currently make sense for semi trucks but it really seems like you are trying to argue that the downsides of a semi truck apply to a pickup truck when they are two completely different vehicles for two very different use cases.

    Your whole point about the more weight you add reduces the range of an EV but you also leave out the fact that adding more weight also reduces the fuel economy of ICE vehicles. Most estimates say that for every 100lb of additional weight you can expect around a 2% drop in fuel economy. For an average size tow behind RV (6500lb wet) that's a 65% drop in fuel economy.

    I do not know where you got "hours of down time to charge". Maybe you were looking at the level two home charging rates? The Ford F150 lighting is capable of charging to 80% (the recommended limit) in 36 minutes for the smaller battery and 41 minutes with the extended range battery using level 3 DC fast charging. I'm no math major but I don't think that's hours of downtime

  • When i saw the billboards for their "10G" network I got legitimately excited thinking it was 10Gb/s home internet. 10G was already short hand for 10Gb/s and home internet doesn't have 'generations' unless you are WISP. I can't tell you how pissed I was seeing their bullshit advertising. Thankfully we are lucky and have four ISPs offering gigabit (and some even offer multi-gig if you move over to a business line) so I don't have to deal with Comcasts bullshit anymore...

  • WTF IS THIS?

  • With how easy it is to obtain a new IP address since the vast majority of people do not have a static IP from their ISP really doesn't solve anything. Depending on how your ISP distributes their internet it could be as simple as rebooting your router to obtain a new IP.

  • The problem with replacing individual cells is you'll end up with cells with different wear levels which means different discharge rates and capacities (max voltage). The battery management system can mitigate some of the problems that arise but can only do that while chargering. While the battery is in use or sits for an extented period of time the cells will try to level out the voltage difference causing loss in capacity and a potential fire risk if the cells are too out of balanced.

    Replacing the battery with new better batteries isn't really an option either as any significant increase in power density would be from a change in battery chemistry and that would also require changing out the on board charging circuit and related systems. There's also the issue that the majority of charge points providers state in their TOS that the use of any aftermarket parts or modifications to your battery or charger is forbidden so you are essential blacklisted from using any DC fast charger.

  • Arguable the case for purchasing a brand new vehicle starts to make more sense as BEV become the majority as the batteries are a consumable that degrades with use and time. So long as the increased price is offset by the longer utilization of that battery.

  • There's some great testimonies from exit node operators out there. Basically it's only a matter of time before some form of police knock on your door and ask questions but depending on your jurisdiction you won't be liable for the traffic.

    Your IP will be added to most spam block lists which (unjustly) adds the master list of exit nodes so do not use your home internet connection to host an exit node.
