  • My new m.2 ssd

    Jump

  • I'm confused, that looks like an m.2 slot, and it's not like it could really be anything else. Msata is a dead standard and looks quite different. The slot would be too wide.

  • Ford exec shakeup highlights shift in EV strategy

    Jump

  • Yeah the strategy is : don't cannibalize ice profits by releasing sensible evs.

  • See-Through Windows Make Clean Electricity From Raindrops

  • Diversity is important, but it's still better to go after larger sources of energy first. There's just not much energy to be recovered from falling rain or waste from cars.

    Make the cars waste less energy, or the transit system in general is much easier and will actually save money long term.

  • Ehh it's still a rubbish idea, that money would be much better spent going after primary producers of energy, like solar, wind, geothermal, or nuclear.

    Some napkin math and an equivalent area of solar, say over a road or parking lot would produce 3.5 million kwh in a year.

  • eBikes would be best vehicle during apocalypse, right?

  • Honestly I'd wonder if the wear on brake pads could be cheaper than the additional strain on the battery.

  • You can't slow down with regen without putting the energy somewhere, and that's the point of brakes, they convert kinetic energy into thermal to slow you down.

    The point of regen is to not waste the energy and put most of it back into a battery. At the scale of an ebikes, the additional components electronics, battery thermal management, and so on for regen are more expensive than just adding 20% more battery.

    Unless you wanted to make an expensive, super efficient or very light ebike, it just doesn't make sense at the moment.

    That will not likely always be true if we ever use different battery chemistry and the cost of regen electronics goes down.

    Jump

  • It's not a common feature.

    It doesn't make as much sense to do on an bike, mainly because regenerative breaking requires more expensive electronics and stresses the battery more.

    My family has 7 ebikes, all different models and none has regen.

  • Big oof: The Google Pixel Watch 3 can't be repaired, only replaced

    Jump

  • I am confused, the gear s3 came out in 2016, so even 2 years ago it was already 6 years old.

    That is not what I would consider new smartwatches these days.

  • Borderlands is failing already.

    Jump

  • I mean the books are great too, apparently they're even better in it's native language.

  • We bought everything needed to make $3 million worth of fentanyl. All it took was $3,600 and a web browser

  • Amazon Prime Video does a redesign that "leans heavily on AI recommendations."

    Jump

  • Of course, then you could see how few titles they actually have.

  • Most people have pretty decent ai hardware already in the form of a gpu.

    Sure dedicated hardware might be more efficient for mobile devices, but that's already done better in the cloud.

  • Tesla’s Share of U.S. Electric Car Market Falls Below 50%

    Jump

  • Closest in the united States is a chevy bolt, but that's still pretty far.

    I'd love a fairly dumb ev. Give me just enough computer for battery/charging management and let me do the rest.

  • Biden rejects growing pressure to abandon his campaign, vows to stay 'to the end'

    Jump

  • A bunch of nobodies ran against biden, no serious contenders.

  • Rise of the Co-op Games, 2023 saw almost 800 co-op games released on Steam, over double from five years ago.

    Jump

  • Imo coop is more similar to a single player game that you can play with other people. Baldurs gate is a rpg that you happen to be able to play with other people.

    Another example would be deadspace 3.

    Most PvE games on the other hand are not primarily story driven. Helldivers, deep rock galactic and such.

    Something like left4dead covers both because its PvE but it also has a story.

    Then games like palworld are more like survival MMOs. Coop in these games is more of an emergent gameplay, while in other coop games its essentially forced.

    I don't like putting these games together because story driven coop games are pretty rare, but PvE games don't seem to be as rare.

    Jump

  • Is it just me or is PvE distinct from co-op?

    Helldivers is PvE

    Baldurs gate is co-op

    These are very different categories and experiences.

  • Climate change is pushing up food prices — and worrying central banks

    Jump

  • Yeah and this is how bad it is with the barest hint of an excuse.

    What will happen when previously arable land becomes too hot to grow crops and decreases yields, leading to real food shortages?
