No it's not. A dwarf planet is not a type of planet. The definition of planet and dwarf planet are independent definitions that are exclusive from each other, one isn't a subset of the other. Both of them are subsets of planetary-massed celestial bodies orbiting a star.

Put the dictionary aside and pick up an astronomy textbook.

Exactly. The Duo is just like every other phone on the market. It has no unique features at all. (Note this was sarcasm intended to imply the stupid parent poster is in fact stupid).

Then it ceases being wear-out. The failure mechanism for both can present the same, but the underlying cause is different from a reliability point of view. Infant mortality is typically a case of manufacturing QA/QC. Real world use is presented as a constant failure rate with a failure distribution that is affected by how you use it. By all accounts this isn't the case here as people either experience rapid early failure or have no issue at all.

The "you're bending it wrong" isn't a statistical failure mode. It's a design defect that showed a device was not intended for use in a specific circumstance. It doesn't even qualify as a fatigue failure (constantly increasing failure rate).

Your problem is you used the word "normal" and "pocket". These are standard use cases, and if that were an issue for the design we'd see far higher failure rates than the ones we are seeing. Even women have pockets in their dresses these days.

I'd say nothing. Not a thing. I'd guess a lot, but that's all we can do here, make assumptions because we lack the detailed information to say anything with any kind of certainty. Even the iFixIt crowd who had some extensive analysis tools stopped short of saying anything other than what component they suspect to be an issue.

You're assuming you need to power the house during the day. For many people their solar panels take care of it during the day and their car charges in the parking lot at work.

There's a YMMV for everything here. Whatever scenario you can come up with it'll work ideally for someone and not at all for someone else.

Why though? These aren't elected officials, they aren't political positions. Why should their information be any more public than who your employer is (assuming you don't work for yourself in a small family owned business)?

Because people have a tendency to hide past employment or make up gaps in their employment record? People typically will tell you who their previous employers are and often provide references and phone numbers to referees. This information should make no difference to your hiring decisions unless you are truly incompetent at candidate selection.

Not *EVERYTHING* is a conspiracy. Especially when the proposed conspiracy is stupid and doesn't reflect the reality of the timeline. Just because some wealthy person somewhere came up with one idea, doesn't mean everything was come up by some secret wealthy private club goers.

Let me be clear, at this point I am calling you silly on my own accord, I do not have Trump and Musk standing next to me pointing out how silly your comment is in the context.

When *everything* is a conspiracy theory to you, it's time to consult with a mental health professional.

Nano is useless bloatware. RAM costs a lot these days, use Pico instead.

(Note: Yes this is sarcasm, I know the relationship between them).

Congrats. On the other hand I do it all the time. Not just is it quick for navigation where diverse UI elements appear in different areas of the screen, most devices contain in-built digitisers to work with a pen, as you said drawing is a use case.

Agreed. Whenever you take one input form and shoehorn it into another not designed for it sucks. Don't touch your screen to type. Touch your screen to draw, drag or provide singular location based inputs.

Productivity and quality are not mutually exclusive terms, especially if you work in QA/QC.

And that's how we lead to more fossil fuels, someone making a stupid either-or comparison to a one or both problem. Every problem broken down becomes "insignificant". It's all the "insignificant" parts together that make it significant.

Now allow this innumerate to educate you:

The World Nuclear Association estimates the high CO2 emissions as a cost of construction make up 10% of the emission avoidance of shutting down a comparable coal plant. What that means is that not only do you get to spend 25 fucking years building a plant, but you get to wait another 5 years on top of that to just break even its construction emissions (and that assumes you've shut down a coal plant, which ... let's be real here, energy requirements are going up).

Tell me again how achieving nothing for 30 years will help and while your formulate your answer calculate out the total CO2 emissions of a coal plant over a 30 year period for your comparison as opposed to taking fast and realistic action that could reduce emissions *today*.

Let me guess, you're the kind of person standing on a level crossing while the train comes towards you at speed and your only solution is ... "gee I hope the government builds a train line around me in time."

Wait, you people still wash your hands? I thought that was nothing more than COVID quackery like the "vaccine" or the "moon landing".

Presumably he's comparing real meat to fake meat in a McPlant burger and complaining about the amount of salt in it without a sense of irony.

Oh yes absolutely. Any time anyone discusses power or cars on Slashdot the YMMV rule applies. There are places where it makes absolutely no sense. There are places where it makes a huge amount of sense.

As an example my current energy tariff differs by 1 eurocent between off peak and on. The neighbour (presumably on a similar tariff) has no solar so for them there's literally no cost benefit to any storage of any kind. On the flip side my parents are given 3 hours of free electricity per day. Load shifting is a huge benefit to them.

I don't see a need for V2H either, but it is nice that bi-directional charging is working in major brands. A friend of mine lives in Brisbane and when they had the cyclone hit at the start of last year which knocked out the power for 4 days she ran an extension cord to her BYD Atto3 (V2L) and plugged her fridge, AC, Induction cooker, and lights into the car. Ran like that for several days while the petrol heads who were telling her that an EV is a major liability in a disaster were all sitting around watching their food rot with their thumbs up their ass.

Domestic batteries make a lot of sense in very specific conditions. If you're able to micromanage a dynamic pricing contract then they can pay themselves quickly by loadshifting to cheaper times (cost avoidance). If you have a high feed in tariff for solar then they can pay for themselves too by ensuring you can use your own generated power at your rate rather than being charged a feed in rate (again cost avoidance). In some places in the world the energy market is insane to the point where you actually can make a profit by re-exporting (I have friends in Australia which are on energy contracts that provide 3 hours of free electricity a day in the middle of the day). One of them has a battery and no solar at all and it's paying off quickly.

It's unfortunately a case where car companies are ahead of the local regulations. A bit like the plug in battery and plug in solar. It'll take a while for regulations to catch up to the point where this stuff is simple and standardised. Right now some of the cars I listed only offer V2H in combination with some service along with a partner for hardware in your house. It's silly.

But hey we're in early adopter territory here.
