  • And replace it with what? You can't just hot glue knobs on the center console and expect them to work.

  • The vehicle comes from the factory connected to the internet.

    You'd have to find the exploit before they do, and it would be hard to replicate because once they find out, the only cars vulnerable to your exploit are ones manufactured before the patch who have been disconnected from the internet (which is like 2 cars).

    It's theoretically possible but very hard to replicate. And on top of that theres always the risk of the car manufacturer voiding the warranty on your $50k vehicle and/or cozying up to your insurance company and convincing them any damage is a result of you preventing their systems from running as intended.

    It's a messy high risk low reward game to play. Better option is to just buy a different car if you can.

  • Is your favorite color purple?

  • The list is short because historically it has been hard to designate domestic organizations as terrorists without violating their First Amendment rights (among others, I'm sure).

  • Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law.

    Glances nervously at the first amendment

    You alright bud?

  • A capacitor has ~1% of the storage capacity of a battery of similar power rating.

    Saying its storage performance is better because its holds a larger % of that capacity at low temperatures is nonsense because its storage performance objectively sucks (and not what it's designed to be good at)

    It's like saying a Tesla is better than a 747 because it can go from 0-60 faster. A technically true statement but a meaningless performance comparison.

  • 30-50% of my energy is the EV. About 20% is 120V plug loads (computers, fridges, home server), ~5-10% lighting, ~15% large equipment (dryer, electric range, electric water heater), and the remainder (15-30% seasonally) is HVAC (heat pump)

    Any gas appliances would bring a lot of those numbers down

  • American House with an EV, all electric, and no solar, I use about 1200 kWh/mo (1.2 MWh/mo) on average. This could only carry me through about 3y. Even if I had access to good public infrastructure I think best I could do is 6y (again, all-electric home).

    But I digress. Lithium ion as purely load shifting is a pretty reasonable, I'd argue critical, solution for covering day/night loads, but starts to fall apart completely when it comes to seasonal (summer/winter) loads.

    But what makes this plant interesting is the addition of super capacitors. The combo battery/SC plant is less about day/night load shifting and more about providing stability to a shifting grid. As supply and demand grow increasingly decoupled, and we try and shift away from expensive peaker plants always on standby, systems like this can dramatically help smooth grid performance.

    ~90 MW of peaker capacity is small potatoes currently, but this is a big step towards a more reliable grid future.

  • Supercapacitors provide ultrafast response times – specified at 0.001 seconds – and maintain over 85% capacity at –40°C, significantly outperforming lithium-ion batteries in extreme cold.

    Outperform how? At being a capacitor? That's their whole point.

    On the energy side, 85% of 29 MW-min is 0.41 MWh. Even if the batteries lose 99% of their capacity at -40 °F, last I checked .42 MWh > 0.41 MWh.

    These are two different tools for two different purposes, I'm not sure how you compare their "performance" under this metric.

  • Why "back" of course!! I hear babies got it, so start with them.

  • I'll run a backup and restore when moving to a new device, because why not. But regular backups? Meh, the ether can have my messages if my phone dies.

    That said, depending on how this new system is rolled out, I may subscribe just to support the Signal foundation.

  • If i did mean to rape children, it's all of your faults their fault for "dressing that way" or whatever

    FTFY. 100% think he'll go the "asking for it" route like most rapists.

  • You can edit titles on Lemmy :)

  • How does adopting more progressive candidates in California solve gerrymandering in Texas?

  • What's the alternative, let the red states gerrymander and then just hope and pray that our new Republican-run house does the right thing and outlaws their one advantage in governing?

    Newsom isn't doing this in a vacuum, California has had a really well liked nonpartisan districting committee. Texas and other red States have gone with the nuclear option and CA is responding in kind - even more importantly, this is something that has to be voted on by the residents of CA in a special election, rather than by a set of politicians already benefitting from gerrymandering.

    I absolutely hate that it has to be done, but as a CA resident I will be voting for it, and I will be pressuring my elected representatives to work towards passing federal legislation outlawing the practice and bringing things to a more even playing field.

    The do-nothing alternative is not an option.

  • (I get that corporate environments are often off the table for this).

    FYI in case anyone needs to hear this, but Firefox can be installed as a user in windows if you just decline the admin prompt when installing.

  • Who the fuck doesn't like NPR?

  • Absolute code amateur here, but my guess is "generic headers" are just a copy/paste job from another program (or vibe code), and declare a bunch of really common functions that never actually get utilized in the code.

    Sorta like copying the same import statements in Python, whether you're using numpy or not

  • Ahh yes, the classic tiger meal - euthanized Yorkshire terrier.
