To be fair, I don't think satire in any way is bad, or that it should be dumbed down - but there are often legitimate issues with the way it's seen to the point of it becoming a meme.

Yes.

Not my field but takeaways from a quick glace are that they note that the more energy dense they make it the worse it is at being concrete, and that their 10kwh number needs 45m³ of concrete. That would be 15x15x0.2m or like 55ftx55ftx8in which isn't crazy but it's a pretty decent amount.

I do a benchy whenever I get new filament. It's relatively small and since it's technically a torture test it lets me know if there are any potential issues to look out for with that particular one.

Except that nefarious is not a direct synonym for criminal. Nefarious has a subtext of specific underhanded malicious intent, whereas criminal doesn't have the same intentional connotations.

If one were to read about a "Criminal website", it might have instructions on how to make a bomb or something like that, whereas a "nefarious website" is likely to be read as looking normal but stealing your information.

By calling the sorting nefarious, OP has (likely) unintentionally implied that there is an underlying sinister reason for the issues, which is not likely to be the case.

I'd love some kind of per community bias adjustment even for subscribed communities. Like, I don't really want to remove them cause memes are great, but because !memes@lemmy.world and 196 post so often my subscribed feed is pretty dominated by them no matter how I sort it.

For "All" some kind of adjustment based on subscribers makes sense, but I don't even know if that's possible given the way Lemmy works. Maybe a "show me less" button that moves the same bias adjustment just for communities you're not subscribed to?

Again, large DC fast chargers are not for individual homes. Home 240v EVSEs run about 5-10kw and cost $500ish.

350kw chargers do exist and are not just marketing - they just aren't being installed normal people's houses. Here's a DC fast charger for sale:

https://www.power-sonic.com/product/evdc-360na/

It uses 480v three phase at up to 440a to accomplish it. No one is going to get that in a residential setting. The unit itself probably costs on the order of $200k, and that wouldn't include the construction of the site or any installation costs from the electrical company.

I don't think the intention is for the average home to charge at these rates, but rather for charging stations to be faster. In large part even with 350kw DC fast charging stations (which already exist) the battery is the limiting factor, not the charger.

Essentially, yes these would kind of only be installed at electrical sub stations.

DC fast charging, which this almost certainly refers to, isn't done at 240 it's done at the pack voltage which is usually between 300 and 900v. Most cars use 400v, Hyundai and Kia use 800v. The Hummer EV (and other forthcoming big GM vehicles) uses a clever pack that operates at 400v but can switch from parallel to series and charge at 800v. The "good" chargers go up to 1000v 500a.

So to get that same roughly 170kw at 400v is 425a - so a lot of chargers already exist that could handle a 30kwh pack just fine.

At full tilt 1000v 500a a charger could deliver roughly 80kwh in 10 minutes, (assuming it didn't limit itself because of the heat) which is a lot but it's not getting you 700 miles of range.

Yeah that's essentially the system I was thinking of but more something the communities could opt into with each other, and could easily moderate how much and what "meta" content made its way into their community.

Big communities would probably just share common posts between each other like they might use a mega thread for, small communities might pull more "meta" content to keep activity up. But making it all an opt in kind of thing on the community level.

The main reason I think it needs to be a core part of the software is just buy in. Like, whatever the solution to this thing that apparently a lot of people think is something or an issue, it needs to be pretty well supported by everyone. Like, apps, instance admins, mods, they kinda all need to be on board - and that probably means something coming to the closest thing this whole mess has to a top.

In a perfect world I'd like to see some kind of meta community system where the individual communities still exist but kind of automagically cross pollinate with each other so that users, server, and moderation load is split somewhat democratically. Not going to happen any time soon since it would probably take dev work and they have their hands full.

Practically what will probably happen is certain communities will become the "standard" ones and others will be smaller versions, just like there were countless "true" subreddits.

What you can do is subscribe and post to whatever one you like, and then feel free to cross post to other communities. Cross posting works really well on Lemmy.

Assuming you mean an automatic drip coffee maker, Moccamaster is definitely the most "BIFL" one out there, as it makes pretty good coffee and the design basically hasn't changed since the 1970s. Downside (or upside depending on how you look at it) is that they are hand made in the Netherlands, which makes them kind of expensive compared to most other options in the us.

Oxo makes a really similar brewer in their 8 cup which in some ways is a little nicer than the Moccamaster. The drip head is a bit larger so the drip is more even, there's a vent on top you can use to heat your mugs, and it comes with an extra cone to brew single servings directly into your cup. It's also not cheap, but less than the Moccamaster. Downside of course is that you're not buying something quite as proven.

I have friends who have sworn by Bunn coffee makers, and while I think their commercial units are basically bulletproof, I've personally experienced a number of the residental ones fail.

One other downside to all these is that they tend to not have any extra features like timers and whatnot, but that's probably why they have lasted so well.
