Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.
And the Xeon Phi (Knight’s Ferry/Landing) was in the GPU space, but only in GPGPU. The idea was that the Xeon Phi, with an x86-compatible core, could, with less modification, run software that was originally targeted to a standard x86 CPU. Something like 68-70 x86-64 cores.
I had a couple of them when I was taking parallel programming back in the day. Nifty little devices, but largely outshined by distributed multiprocessing for x86-64 and paled in comparison to the power of CUDA. That might be my own bias talking though.
Production of batteries, handling discarded batteries, breaking of minerals FOR the batteries, and producing the electricity have all been shown to be worse for the environment than than the entire life of a traditional car
Furthermore, when asked about a source for these claims, you come out swinging with the ever popular “no, you” defense.
While I agree with your strategy, I also have enough awareness that this strategy doesn’t work for everyone.
If someone needs a bed to sleep, but they only have enough for a cheap bed, they buy the cheap bed and hope that when it wears out they can buy a better, higher quality one. They don’t forgo a bed and have worse health, they get what they can to get by.
Go tell the single mother of four that she bought a garbage table so her kids have a place to eat and she should’ve bought the quality table that costs two months of her rent, because it lasts longer.
I actually have a similar model for testing audio tubes. I have several 100 watt amplifier heads for my guitars and a few more home built amps for both guitar and listening audio. I even have several tube preamps I’ve designed with one or two tubes.
Coincidentally, in addition to having a BS in EE and an MS in CompE, I was a senior engineer working on battery control systems for three seasons with a Formula E team in my previous job.
At no point did I ever even hint to being an engineer, my man

If you aren't an engineer working with ev batteries or othe rechargeablebatteries, your opinion has no weight.
You’re right, I’m not stupid which is precisely why I haven’t “chimed in” on your unqualified opinions.
