Mac Minis top out at 48GB and are 1.8k when configured like that. It's going to be at least $2k to buy anything that has a hope of running it at a reasonable speed.
Running local isn't free, but at least it's just a single upfront payment.
I still find it interesting that people defend companies filming us the whole time. I'd be a lot happier if the response was "Yes, both are shitty. Let's get rid of both".
Not current accounts which was what was at risk in 2008. When the bank goes bust you don't just lose money. You become unable to do anything financial, like get paid.
They're very much not. They have high valuations, but very few employees. Very different to the banks (where the public would lose money) and the car firms (who employed large numbers of workers)
Power is the rate of energy transfer and is in kW.
If 1kW flows for 1 hour it's 1 kWh (power x time). A US 120V socket at 12 Amps is just under 1.5kW. A 240V socket will be double that.
1.5kW for 12 hours is 18kWh. That's not half a battery, as most cars start at 60kWh batteries now. 18kWh will get 54-72 miles depending on the consumption of the car.
