They designed and built a battery that uses up to 70 per cent less lithium than some competing designs.

This is probably a way of phrasing that means it's up to 70% less than the absolute most lithium-requiring designs that few/no one uses, and probably only marginally better than most designs actually used. Since they're very vague about it, I will be sceptical and assume it is way less revolutionary than the headline suggests.

Black ended the challenge having completed 10 months, with just 60 days left to run. He had managed to make a grand total of $64,000.

Pretty damn far from a million, but much more than many make in a year still. I do wonder if he used contacts/network he made while wealthy, that would easily completely invalidate the point he was trying to make.

This feels like an advertisement article...single port USB-C PD chargers with 20-30W output in the <$10 range are not at all hard to find already.

Excellent April's fool joke, but man it would be sick if you could actually 3D print your own vinyls.

Fuck I love the "ok" as deny reason...so simple, so beautiful.

That's not what Tesla is doing though, or the article is about...they (Tesla) are arguing that free speech should allow them to do false advertising of their product.

A high(er) end smartphone has a battery capacity of approx. 0.019kWh (5000mAh), a gtx3080 has a max power draw of 320W so running that (at max load) for two hours is 0.64kWh, which is equivalent to fully charging ~34 smartphones.

Well that's pretty neat

According to Phoronix, Ampere's new CPUs have so many cores that Linux doesn't support systems when two of Ampere's 192-core chips (384 total cores) are installed in a single server. For now, the ARM64 Linux kernel only supports systems with 256 cores or less. To fix the issue, Ampere has submitted a patch proposing that the Linux kernel core limit be raised to 512

If you're already at 384 cores in a dual-processor setup, isn't raising the limit to 512 too little? Why not just go for 1024 now that they're at it, especially since the method they proposed doesn't increase kernel image memory footprint.

Hydrogen is incredibly inefficient compared to using electricity directly. You have to first use the electricity to make the hydrogen, this is very inefficient in itself. then you have to "burn" it to drive the vehicle, which wastes most of the energy just like ICE vehicle. So you need several times the initial energy generation to drive a hydrogen vehicle the same distance compared to using electricity directly.

Of course the batteries is then the issue when it comes to EVs, so they're not a magic bullet. But I wouldn't say hydrogen is the obvious better choice either since it is so wasteful with the energy.

IDK, the ability to remote activate climate control, start/stop charging and control charge power to match my solar power are all quite good reasons for me to have my car connected.

We should be able to have nice things without surveillance. We shouldn't refrain from these things, we should legislate so they're not allowed to collect data and share it without explicit consent.

Because the price of these shoes is ridiculous and they don't last as long as regular shoes. I'm probably also not running anywhere near fast or efficient enough to properly utilise the benefits of them properly.

But unfortunately your schoolwork isn't private, it is likely considered property of the school. You will encounter this in both academia and any job you acquire basically. Work you do for them, or as a part of an assignment they hand you (schoolwork, research in university or whatever task at a job) is their property, that is something you unfortunately need to accept.

Couple that with performing it on a device that is also not yours, but 100% theirs, they are allowed to do whatever the hell they want with it. Even if you did the work on a private device, they sill still own the work and the results you produce.

It's crazy just how much of a PITA it is to use the internet when using NoScript

Most races are not against time though... They're against other competitors. The time it takes you is pretty irrelevant, as long as the others are slower.

It's more or less only time trials that are races against time.

US cell service plans always seem insanely priced compared to what we're used to here in Europe. They pay a fortune for shitty plans with low data caps, it's ridiculous.

Not with my real name, age, gender, address, phone number or even email.

You're thinking of ASMR, this is related to ASML...two completely unrelated things.

Yet they're still inferior to even older x86 hardware. You can pick up a used NUC (or similar) for less than a pi 4 and it blows it out of the water on performance, while using only marginally more power.

My family is well into the top 5% globally

Is this supposed to be some kind of flex? If you make ~$20k/y in the US you're almost top 5% income globally. Around top 5% range globally is probably somewhat poor in the US. The lowest middle class household income in the US is $40k/y
