ColeSloth , to Technology in CATL battery successfully powers electric plane with 1,800-mile civil aircraft expected

Possibility for private planes, but none for commercial planes. Just imagine a commercial passenger plane or cargo plane that needed a giant amount of electricity and like 12 hours of charging in between every flight.

Then, for safety reasons you'll need to have two batteries in case one goes bad.

ColeSloth , to Android in Motorola unveils moto tag: a tracking solution designed to work anytime, anywhere

Googles find my device network has been live for a couple of months now, after it was delayed (supposedly waiting on Apple) for like a year. Two other companies released trackers around the end of March. There's a few more sold in non US markets. Moto saying they'll have a tracker for sale in the coming months while others have already left the gate would be the slow poke part. There was a huge amount of info about the find my device network rollout. Moto really should have done this and been selling it already. It's a copy of what's already available.

ColeSloth , to Technology in Arizona toddler rescued after getting trapped in a Tesla with a dead battery | The Model Y’s 12-volt battery, which powers things like the doors and windows, died

Once again, I did this for a living, for a decade. We would constantly have cars with failed batteries, we would bring them in, charge them up, test them, they would pass, we'd send them on their way, and they would fail again

I also test batteries and this just looks like you all didn't test them well. Like you skipped the capacity test because it takes being hooked up for a long time instead of the test that takes 20 seconds to do.

No they aren't. They degrade before they fail. If tesla wanted to provide a warning of a failing battery that pretty much always worked it could have wired in a load test and went off voltage drop under a heavier load.

Testing if batteries are good or bad does not qualify a person to chart out battery degradation.

ColeSloth , to Technology in Arizona toddler rescued after getting trapped in a Tesla with a dead battery | The Model Y’s 12-volt battery, which powers things like the doors and windows, died

What? No they aren't. They almost always fail on a curve of power and voltage loss.

Also, I didn't look it up, but I'd be very surprised if the model Y tesla didn't require (suggest and oem?) an AGM battery. It's still lead, but due to how they're made they can't get a dead short in them like older regular lead acid batteries can once they get old, although it still isn't very common for it to happen.

ColeSloth , to memes in fin

If it were a game that didn't use a pay to play/continue/win model, I'd agree that she was the best at it. Or at least played it the most. It's hard to say she's the best when you have to spend money to do it and you aren't playing against anyone.

ColeSloth , to Technology in Battery electric vehicles lose their spark in Europe as hybrids steal the show

They still get way better gas mileage. They also don't cost $15,000 when the battery goes bad. I replaced my 12 year old prius battery myself in like two hours after buying a brand new $2,900 replacement from the Toyota dealership. Could have just bought and replaced the bad cell in it, but in a 12 year old battery I'd probably have another to replace within a year and just have to keep going in and replacing one after the other, which would be a pain.

ColeSloth , to World News in Nepal Suspends Sales of Injection Manufactured by Indian Company, Cites Serious Health Risks

I want to know what the company fucked up. I assume they were contaminated with something.

ColeSloth , to Games in $843 million lawsuit against Valve already has its own website: "The Steam Claim" accuses the biggest store in PC gaming of "overcharging" players

"Charges 30% fee"
"That's too high! You're ripping us off"

"Charges 10% fee"
"That's too low! No other platforms could hope to compete against you with that!"

This is nothing but people bitching about nothing for the price gouging. I will give merit to the anti competitive nature if game makers aren't allowed to have their games listed for less at other stores. As far as add on game packages locking you in goes....that might be a technical minefield to ensure compatibility.

ColeSloth , to Games in Former Square Enix exec on why Final Fantasy sales don’t meet expectations and chances of recouping insane AAA budgets

US animation existed for the sole purpose of merchandising and advertisements. Back in the 80s when transformers were all the rage (the cartoon existed for the almost sole purpose of selling the action figures) they released a movie that killed off most of the transformers (children cried) and they did this so they could bring in all new transformers to carry on the battle, so that kids would have to go out and buy more new toys.

ColeSloth , to Games in Former Square Enix exec on why Final Fantasy sales don’t meet expectations and chances of recouping insane AAA budgets

I was going to re-buy the OG ff7 just to play on my steam deck using all the awesome mods that it has to balance things and improve the looks.

Well I nixed that idea. Fucking square requires an active internet to play their 28 year old single player RPG. I may just pirate the thing, but then I can't use all the mods that have been made.

ColeSloth , to Games in Former Square Enix exec on why Final Fantasy sales don’t meet expectations and chances of recouping insane AAA budgets

Maybe don't break up what was one massive and awesome game into 3 games over the course of like 8+ years. You don't even get to keep levels and abilities across each game. I know they have made them quite a bit different from the original game, but I still know I'm only getting to have 1/3 of a story at a time, now. I don't want to read half a book and know I can't finish the other half for another 5 years. Let alone that it may have to be on a different game system.

The modem, plus the GPU in Qualcomm chips. Android gaming on non snapdragon chips is far behind.

If it was released today, why would trending searches be for all that old-ass shit?
