I just had a TV die and went to LTT YT to see some reviews and I was so confused as to where LTT videos where, but ShortCircuit is available.

Only started using twitter because Elon Musk owns it, I didn't even know the President of the United States of America had an account if the media was open a fair why would he even need to tweet? If you don't like it move on to another platform and please remember to boycott all his stuff. More Teslas and starlink bandwidth for the rest of us.

I just heard on a NPR talk show that the USA government linked the "care worker market" to GDP it raised the GDP output rate by a lot. Seems like a dangerous game to me but they where all thrilled on the show.

It seems to me that more and more consumers are leaving the apple marketplace. I am seeing videos on social media of people complaining about lack of features on iphone vs android. If true this could be more of a factor for iphone sales than any of the stated reasons. I think the normal price-conscious buyer only buys a new phone when they need it aka their phone is dead or dying. Shopping around might lead them to believe that an android flavor phone is a better buy. I really don't know much about the phone market as I'm a extreme price-conscious buyer I still use a note 8 and pixel 2 xl both bought right after launch. I do repair some phones for family members and I have iphones that I repaired but I don't want to buy in to that app store for the same stuff I have on google play. Also there are a few apps I use everyday that used to not have or currently have no alternative on iOS.

per the Tesla charge station price website. If you choose to charge per minute, it is $0.26-.31 per minute above 60 kW. Under 60 kW, it is only $0.13-.16. If you charge by kWh, it is $0.28-.33 per kWh drawn from the charger. The time at which you charge can also impact the price. Peak-hour prices will be higher than prices in the middle of the night when electricity use is lower. She was on a road trip visiting family so no wall charging, also the only way she can charge is at the station. There is always a line here for the station so I would like to know the percentage of Teslas using them. as the site also states "Supercharging should be used sparingly. Because the process is faster and stronger, it can wear down your battery if used too frequently. It is better (and cheaper) to charge in your own home overnight." Her home in Monterey just like every other home in the neighborhood, old has no plug outside or in the detached garage and needs thousands of dollars of electrical upgrade work just to get certified for a charger or just a plug outside. They have strict laws on that stuff in CA like you can't wash your car in the drive way laws and you will get a fine. I offered to install an exterior plug but I'm not certified in CA and her husband works for city planing so they have to follow every law, no bending.

The largest factor with most car swaps per KBB is immediate cost of operation. So if a car starts to need repairs the owner will sell it and the big one is people will drive gas guzzlers until gas price goes up. So in fact price per mile is the biggest concern. My sister told me it cost her $14 to charge her Tesla 200miles, I did the same trip in my turbo ej8 civic got about 47mpg and it cost me $13.40 and they are not building any new power plants so more people that charge EV the more the electric bill with go up. Going to be a hard sell if new EV prices don't come down and used EV are not a good buy as I'm seeing them come in to the recycle yards totaled out for a "bad battery" and light fender bender with an Actual Cash Value of $25k but a Estimated Repair Cost of $26k; 20k for new battery 5k for a bumper cover and fender. That type or economics is going to change insurance. Seams your not really buying a EV your buying a battery if they cost $20k to replace after 7 years. I just got to ride in a lighting it was neat but the next day it was broke down with a bad battery no warning at all it was just like my Bosch dill batteries works one min the next it's trash. That is a huge diff. to gas cars if a major problem arises you normally have warning. This is all going to be slowly learned by the market and will effect sales.

It was like that because it was basically a Renault and that was their hallmark design.

Block oil heaters for gas engines are not a necessity. They are a luxury upgrade in most cases so you don't have to drive the car lightly because it is in open loop mode. When in open loop the car is running on a preset tune and ignoring the lambda sensor. This mode is not fuel efficient it is a safe mode and the engine runs rich. Some people have cars with electrical problems that drain the battery making the start weak to band aid the problem for cheap by putting a block heater in. on another note about Lithium batteries in the cold. I installed a lithium battery in my 2000 civic. It has been great for that car, weight and huge size reduction of about 11kg in a car that weights about 900kg is big. I was wondering why more cars don't come factory with a Li start battery but after some cold weather now I understand. When shopping for a lithium brand the biggest advertised factor is cold start capability some even have buttons on the battery to help cold starts. lithium batteries simply don't work well at low temps. The one I bought at the top of the range had a bad time in recent weather, the manual says if you can't get the car to start turn the headlights on for a few mins that will warm up the cells making the battery work better. It works but it's adds a quirk to car operation.

I just read this a few weeks ago in a NRC report. I live in a town in Ohio that experienced one of the worst (mostly unknown) nuclear radiation spills of all time so we have lots of people here that work in the industry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernald_Feed_Materials_Production_Center A small part of the radioactive leaks was the most radioactive waste known to man (K-65) leaked from silos that was 100ft from a road and was in direct contact with our drinking water it was covered up and ignored for a decade. People think it is safe and clean but that's only because the authorities hide the many many accidents. The wiki doesn't even cover half of the stuff we as a town experienced, from lies to corruption the government can't be trusted with radioactive waste disposal. One of my favored clips of the medias discovery of the spill was mayor of nearby Cincinnati Jerry Springer (yes the talk show guy) grilling president Ronald Reagan on the tarmac when he landed here to review the site about why this was covered up and the president just keeps saying "I only know what THEY tell me" Beyond that nuclear power generation is very inefficient we are taking the planets rarest elements and burning them in a fire to make steam drive a turbine. It is so rare in concentrated ore form that current prices and consumption are only guaranteed for the next 100 years, we only have 100 years of ore at cheap rates after that element recovery/mining jumps 100X. The water pumps that are now filtering and cleaning up the spills from production of fuel will require more energy than the fuel that the plant made. The real solutions to the energy problem is hundreds of years away but in the mean time to get us though we need to interconnect PV with kinetic batteries kinetic batteries might even help with water shortages, forget about wind it relies on lots of gear oil for the gear transmissions. Relax laws on micro hydro and educate the communities that can leverage it. Stop Tesla owners from drag racing every BMW they see, JK but no really just stop it I get it everyday unless it's a $200,000 platinum you will lose. We just need to work towards better bigger energy production and be more efficient with what we have.

it's BGA. microcenter had these new for $800 open box without the paperwork was $600

5800H @3.5 was under $600 new but open box

I want the old days where everyone had an alias online. It didn't matter who or what you where if you said something stupid you didn't gain an audience. Now days people spout silly stuff but others tune in because a person is attractive to them, mind or body.

That is sad to think about. I remember even back in Haswell days having to research Intel cpus for a good long time to figure it out. Quickly looking at the new names now WTF Intel. The naming having a 3 number identifier sounds like a good start. I bet if they had an advertising name like that the low end RTX cards would not sell so well though. As I have found out with the RTX 3050ti mobile I bought the raytrace performance is useless. Before I bought it at the store I found that the raster performance was good enough for my work needs and I was willing to pay more for RTX cores to try them out I thought "it has RTX cores so I can try a little raytraceing visuals as well". That is not the case IDK why that chip even has RTX cores it can't handle any raytraceing. If I where to do it again I would have spent more money on a better laptop gpu. Say a 3070 or 3080 even. I feel like the poor naming made everyone lose out on a up sale.

NVIDIA GPU names all across the whole product line are confusing now even the laptop GPUs are named the same. I have not closely followed any hardware releases since 2017 or so because prices went sky high I just moved on to other hobbies. I remember being able to randomly wonder into a microcenter any day and get one of the best GPU they offered for a weeks wadges. Early last year I visited family out of town for the weekend and ended up having to stay for a few months. I needed a laptop to do work, so I'm standing in a unfamiliar microcenter trying to figure out how and what a RTX 3050ti (laptop) compares to none laptop GPU as that's what I'm having to compare to. One might think that a RTX 3000 series name sake card -even when it's a (Mobile)- would compare to something last gen RTX (Turing) but nope it seams you have to go all the way back to 2016 (Pascal) to find a direct performance comparison GTX 1060-6gb is what I have found and tested. This is not the full story either the RTX 3050ti (Mobile) has a few variants its self that are not even labeled clearly and its a big one that effects the performance more than any names. Wattage based on its cooling solution, there is a 35W RTX 3050ti (Mobile) and the variants go all way up to 75w. Even the sales person at microcenter knew none of this as that store is now more about corporate sales than customer service its not a surprise to me. I sat at one of the stores $15,000 mac pros and researched this for about an hour and that mac felt so nice I almost said fuck it give me a MacBook Pro. I want to see some type of metric naming scheme based on performance.

LOL dude I'm posting from in my hot tub on my (waterproof) Note 8 that is 5.4 years old, works fine and this bypass is not working on it as far as i have tried. It just got and update a few months ago too. Meanwhile my sister's family sends me all her "old" iphones to backup the data when they slow to unusable because of "support updates" or just plain fail and die. I have every iphone from the last 10 years she sent me. More than half of them need parts from minor damage like rain water or two of them need screen backlit filters that just randomly went out. Apple's support is DOA to me because of how fragile the hardware is and how impossible it is to repair them. And it boggles my mind they have the best 1 piece frames of any phone maker, one would think that would make them more durable. She sent me a iphone from like 3+ years ago it was a nice red rose color and mint so I wanted to save it. It suffered a low drop into the (clean) toilet, needed a screen backlit filter. The whole PCB was covered in black tar. Ended up not being worth my time I tossed it. I believe brand loyalty is making you blind.
