They could have saved even more by not putting batteries in them, or motors… Man, these things coulda had a way bigger profit margin!

Nailed it right here. West was a perfectly good Batman for his time, but Keaton is fantastic and aged well. No one else comes close.

If you exit out and then start the show again, it skips the pre-roll. It’s annoying, but slightly faster than waiting and watching the 30 second pre-roll.

They advertise as extra $ for ad free, but then they put ads in it. That’s dishonest.

What I have to do whenever I watch a show is start the show, get the pre-roll, exit out, then start the show again. It’s annoying and a stupid hoop to jump through just to not have to watch the same pre-roll over and over.

TL;DR - A combination of more competition from China in Android smartphones, and an increase in Apple sales, caused Apple to overtake Samsung.

I initially read the headline as referring to maintenance costs, but it’s actually because people who rent EVs were using them under the rent to gig economy business they had. As in, people would rent cars to go do Uber Eats deliveries and such, as the EVs weren’t being rented as often as expected from regular rental business. The people who rented these EVs were more likely to damage the vehicle than people who rented gas cars, and the repairs for that damage were more costly to fix.

There wasn’t a great explanation as to why the EV rentals were more likely to get into accidents, but it’s possible that the EVs were more confusing to operate, or more likely to be driven more aggressively due to the acceleration and performance. It’s also possible that the EV models they had were more prone to other issues, like blind spots, worse breaking, or insufficient self-driving, but they didn’t seem to distinguish between different makes and models as being more prone to damage.

Before people jump in here to talk about how battery technology never comes to market… Every single one of these discoveries teaches us something new, sometimes it reveals tech that’s unsustainable, sometimes it’s un-manufacturable, but it always gives us another direction to look for things.

Tech goes relatively slowly from lab results to store shelves, so stuff you read about 10-20 years ago are what are in your devices today. This could very easily be the way that your phone runs in 2035.

This could be as game changing as lithium ion was back in the early 2000’s, or it could go the way of most lab results. We won’t know until we keep poking at it and figuring out what it is useful for.

So, the biggest tech of 2023 is a bunch of promises of things coming soon?

Pretty neat idea, hopefully the equipment needed keeps getting smaller and cheaper.

Right now it doesn’t make a lot of sense except for larger, or shared maker type spaces.

I wonder if a 6.5mm would be within tolerance to be compatible with 1/4" plugs.

It was extremely close to collapse after over 800 years. They had time, just not an unlimited amount of it. People with a lifetime of experience and education knew how to work through the issue, and had a good idea of how long they had.

They closed the area off, did some tests, and worked slowly because some of their ideas made the problem worse. You don’t want to rush solutions on completely unique problems, with completely unique artifacts.

Imagine if your connection history got leaked by this.

Why does dropbox have the ability to see your files at all? That seems like a pretty bad security flaw in the first place.

Taught my dog to smell a clothing item, and she can distinguish the right person and follow the footfalls that person walked. She is pretty reliable up to about 18-36 hours old depending on weather conditions.

Those details need to be held by a 3rd party though, because if the company goes under, then the code and any critical information may become lost. Executives, employees, and other people might be fired or jump ship prior to any trigger points, so there could be no one that can be held accountable.

The FDA should hold everything necessary in escrow in perpetuity.

Sounds like FDA approval requires holding all details of the technology, including all source code, in escrow.

If the company ever stops supporting the product, for any reason at all, all of the details become public property.

Yeah, depending on what you use SSH for, the top two pictures are switched.

Maybe try not to be so fucking racist next time.

Looks perfect! Love these little one off projects.

It’s Linus Torvalds. He invented Linux and it’s his baby. He’s doing it because it’s his legacy, and he cares.

He’s probably never not working on it 24x7x365.24
