Conservation wise there is a very big reason to slow down the release cycle

THAT’S WHATS DRAINING MY BATTERY! I’ve been trying to figure it out, I knew it was draining quicker because of that but never really our two and two together

There are already companies manufacturing solid state batteries, it’s not like this is a theory, it’s still in its early stages but these are real

When I installed pop! Os (on my ssd) it was laggy and a little glitchy, it’s like the whole os would just freeze up sometimes. It really got on my nerves. I prefer nobara, it’s so snappy and fast, everything just feels better than windows, and it’s way more customizable. But there is definitely a higher learning curve and some small weird glitches you have to deal with so I wouldn’t recommend it to someone without intermediate knowledge

Jesus these comments scream basement dweller. You don’t have to like what someone does with their own body to accept it. It doesn’t hurt you so don’t worry about it. God forbid people have some self expression

Things are muddied a bit though because USB 4 has built in support for thunderbolt

Brother, now that thunderbolt 4 has been introduced it’s even more confusing. Some of these labels are already out of date

+1

I think it should be supported for a decade and the open sourced so that it can be archived and maintained by those who care.

I once submitted an issue to a devs GitHub. The apps login page would not load without large bg pictures loading first. I asked if he could add an option to disable it in the settings, as my self hosted site was slow.

I essentially got back, “why would I do that? It’s not an issue for me! Besides the login page should load before the background picture” issue closed

😑😑😑😑

It’s like you’re SO CLOSE to seeing the issue.

Yes

And I’ll keep enjoying my lifetime Plex pass.

There are ways to calculate a batteries remaining life, usually you’d have a chip dedicated to tracking all of that. They can tell you a battery’s history, health, estimated charge capacity etc. So if the station detects a batteries life is low or it’s marked as chaged but it’s charged significantly below it’s initial capacity it can be taken out of rotation and inspected and fixed/disposed of if need be.

Personally I wonder, once we have interchangeable batteries, if it will be more common to have several smaller, shorter life span batteries that add up to a certain range. That way the recharge station only has to change out the batteries with a lower charge, and even if the battery system trips up and you get a borked battery your range would be slightly reduced not completely gone or halved

No they never forced them but they said “hey here’s this really awesome sandboxed platform that runs on almost any os, and it’s a modern browser!” That’s really enticing to a platform like steam where most of their app is web based. Steam isn’t a desktop application, it’s a hybrid application that needs a web browser. Do you know how hard it is to upkeep a modern browser? There’s a reason it’s pretty much only chromium and Mozilla making browsers. It’s not laziness, it made sense, and Google was the only one making anything like that at the time for developers to use.

Once Google had the market share, they started making changes that they knew would affect everyone using their platform, and that’s how they wanted it.

Never said it was your fault, I explicitly said it was Google’s doing but ok be mad if you want to

Not really Steam’s fault, their app is built in a chromium browser, which stopped supporting those OSes a few years ago. A perfect example of Google having too much control over the Internet. This is what happens when big companies are allowed to purchase their competitors.

Edit: people in this thread are either really forgetting how much trust google used to have with basically the entire Internet. They were seen as the “good guys” for a long time.

Or they’re forgetting how unique and revolutionary chromium based desktop apps were when they first came out. It is a colossal pain in the ass to create a modern browser, if you have a web page in your desktop app like steam does, it quickly became a very difficult, time consuming, and virtually fruitless endeavor to develop a headless browser just to sit within your desktop app when you could just go with chromium.

For EVs, these batteries are better for the environment to produce and to dispose of, and if you’re able to replace them every time you go to a recharge station you’ll never have a battery die because it won’t be in your car long enough. The batteries keep rotating until they die and then they get taken out of rotation and disposed of.

Combine that with that company that switches out batteries and this is a great solution

They didn’t hack it, they spoofed a device, they just tricked the systems around the api

Yeah, I used to love Google products, then they started killing things, and more things, and more quickly. And yeah, I’m done. Desperately hoping something other than android and IOS gets mainstream acceptance, because sure it’s here now, but there’s no guarantee they won’t just kill it 5 years from now for some wild reason.
