The draw-back with sodium batteries needs to be known, because they won’t replace lithium anytime soon.
The density is lower, which is a great problem in EVs.
Not trying to be negative, but for an EV, or anything handheld, you get more weight for less power. Which is essential in a car, that uses more power the heavier it is.
What sodium IS the best at, are use cases where weight and size doesn’t matter. Like with battery farms.
In this case they are much better than lithium.
Batteries can’t stabilise frequency. If the frequency changes too much, the grid will go down.
You literally need a giant spinning turbine for this.
It’s pretty basic energy engineering, and is not related to load balancing.
While controversial, I think it’s more a product of how insane US “politics” are.
They could be good guys even so.
My best guess would be that Shopify either care about the open Web or had some disagreements with Google.
I can’t find anything shady on them, but maybe I’m looking the wrong places.
You do. They can only collect data you allow.
Are you familiar with the Danish system tho?
We have this in Denmark, and when it works, you’ll all love it.
It’s soooo easy to use, and it’s also a very secure way it’s implemented, because we have 2FA for everything important.
That’s very inaccurate information.
It’s basically only the government officials who can’t have the app installed on their phones, for security reasons.
That’s it.
falls short later
So far… Next model will be even better, and it won’t stop getting better.
Fair, then everything I can find on the Internet must be freeware too. Set the sails, matey!
The malware thing still deserves a headline. They just argue it’s stupid so many even have to use the library to begin with.
So they did it, but purposely didn’t do it well enough. Next time it’s a 10% fine.
Yeah, seems weird, but there’s also points where it’s not related at all.
One is a company using user data they didn’t tell they would use for this purpose, and illegally trying to do it anyway. They literally sell the data by making a product of it. It’s also a private company with stakeholders.
Other is EU scanning messages, but not selling them.
So it’s about who you trust basically.
Might be a 10thDentist take, but I could be surprised.
It’s reliable in specific use cases, I’ll give it that.
I didn’t say that, but it might explain why Apple didn’t say much. I’m just keeping the discussion to the thread.
No, but that doesn’t make it good.
The whole world except a minority moved away from SMS a long time ago.
He should do both. The message getting to as many people as possible is more important that he posting on Twitter.
Sometimes CEOs just get paranoid. You can either flip a switch an remove an app, or risk getting personally targeted by Russia.
Russia won’t get to you, most likely, but it’s the paranoia that gets you.
If they didn’t open up to anyone else when EU implemented it back in March/April, they won’t do it now.
uBlock might be out at some point, but modified APKs will probably live forever.
Pirates, aaargh… always finds a way.
Sodium batteries will not replace lithium in cars, as the density is too low.
It means the battery weighs more but contains less power.
For an EV, that wouldn’t work, as the heavier the car is, the more power it uses.
With sodium you will probably half the range of the EV, which is already low.
