The fact that it's called a gas station rather than convenience store on a survey about walking is somewhat disappointing.

Not only did they have the option, as I understand it the API was even configured as such since all requests from an app shared the same API key. They're basically whitelisting like this now but only for the accessibility oriented 3rd party apps.

Yes, but to increase longevity energy density goes down substantially. Manufacturers (and many users including myself) would not make this decision for something as weight and size sensitive as a phone. The lithium ion batteries currently used already last for 2 years after all and are relatively small. A single model S battery contains 7104 individual cells for comparison. Further, lithium battery recycling has made substantial progress over the last year and will already need to be done at scale when higher volumes of EV batteries have reached their end of life. The impact of the of life phone batteries even from the entire world will be dwarfed by that of the 26 million EVs already on the roads today with thousands of cells each (or equivalent if using prismatic cells).

Some cars use LiFePO4 batteries for the superior longevity. But the range is reduced to somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 their lithium ion counterparts. The industry is moving away from this trend in recent years in favor of traditional lithium ion with a software limited charge/discharge range.

If they hadn't applied the same charges to legitimate 3rd party applications they could still do this and have avoided the massive community backlash.

Considering their horrible track record with advertising and selling Reddit premium this should be the single best way for them to finally monetize their platform. They didn't need to destroy what little credibility they had remaining to their users to get to this point, but for whatever reason they did.

The chemistry from holding that last 20% of charge for a while is what causes the degradation. The BMS can tell the system to stop charging before it's full but it can't do anything itself to prevent the cell from slowly being degraded by full charging.

This is is a problem that occurs on the order of years and that's why the EV companies care but phones historically don't. More easily replaceable batteries is the real solution here, not software stopping you from fully charging.

For a lot of the Christian audience a reminder that Jesus didn't teach hate is something well needed that they aren't getting in church. Maybe my expectations were too low but I was pleasantly surprised with the message considering how it could have gone regardless of any issues around who funded it.

The 2024 leaf is 3509lbs according to the Nissan USA website.

Lol what state is doing this? That should basically kill EV sales there while simultaneously bringing their gas tax revenue to literally zero. Terrible financial choice.

It doesn't help that the first EVs most manufacturers are focusing on are their large SUVs and trucks. The Chevy Bolt and Tesla Model 3 both certainly aren't small cars in a general sense, but in the land of EVs they are. Both weigh under 4000 pounds which is less than the best selling vehicle in North America, the F150.

To be fair to Netflix before other networks took streaming seriously they were charging very little to license their content on Netflix. That's why it had everything and was so good to be better than piracy. The royalties from Netflix couldn't be enough to fund these networks. Even Netflix themselves as the studio has struggled substantially promoting these price hikes and the effective recreation of cable TV.

As they lose more of the licensed content they're forced to focus on their own. Unfortunately for the just part they can't compete with constant new mediocre shows and movies. The streaming industry as a whole has lost sight of what made it popular in the first place.

I assure you it is much, much worse than dominos. It's like making a pizza with Cheez Wiz instead of real cheese. Considering the ingredients of provel cheese are all nice on their own is quite the feat.

This is certainly a distinct style of pizza, as much difference as Chicago style is from New York. Unlike with those I have no idea how anyone thought this was a good idea.

So now it's just a question of how long Hungary waits to actually hold their vote.
