That's a great way of telling you didn't read TFA. What they described as toxic is:
- Toxic work culture
- A bad manager
- Lack of growth opportunities
- Increased workload
- Staffing shortages

Precisely none of those are fixed by remote working (and yes you are still subjected to your work culture at home. Heck I'd say remote work has made it more toxic as people are reduced to a number on an ADO board for their work robbing them of meaning).

Audio feedback is important when you need to micromanage your engine for doing things such as shifting gears. Beyond that it serves only to advertise the smallness of a person's penis. Since EVs don't have manual gear boxes, there's no reason to hear what is actually happening, the engine can do its thing without you needing to hear it.

That said this is Ferrari. They infamously have always considered sound in their engine design. Their exhaust manifold has resonant chambers which serve only to allow the engineer to tune the sound the car will make, and they put some pretty hefty thought into tuning this to certain harmonics to get a specific sound.

The only time my EV makes an squealing / whistling sound is when I plant my foot down. When coasting it is silent. When driving more than about 60km/h the road noise dominates any engine sound.

Try driving a better EV. That said given your post history I will bet a dollar you've never driven one and are talking out of your arse as you're an infamous EV hater.

Most (non American muscle) cars driven in a city environment are dominated by road noise, not engine noise unless the driver is putting their foot down. If you can't hear an EV coming, you have fuck all chance hearing a normal car coming either. And at really low speed where road noise stops dominating (like below 25mph) EVs are mandated to make an artificial sound.

If that's what you really think then you should support this action. Spotify's discovery process has been completely enshitified in the past decade and used to be far better. I discovered a whole world of new music in the past, today ... most of what is being pushed to me is forgettable and other services provide far better discovery.

The world is much more complicated than that. The problem is not that artists don't like Spotify, it's that they are stuck with an monopoly just like the rest of us are in other ways. For example, are you a Linux fan? Hate to be tracked? Just don't use Windows. Oh except if you go to work and suddenly you're forced to by corporate IT, what then?

The issue is the same here. Spotify pays a pittance, screws over artists, promotes the production of AI muzak rubbish, but where else do you go? All the potential customers are on Spotify. That's the whole problem with market power and monopolies, you don't have the option to "just don't use it".

We're even a bit like that on the consumer side. Sure I want to support a service which supports artists more, but what do I give up? My car has Spotify, my speakers have Spotify Connect, my friends use Spotify so the Spotify Jam function will stop working too if I switch. There's many market forces other than the basic music, or other than the pay to the artists that draw people into using Spotify.

The internet was also real, that doesn't mean we didn't have a dot-com bubble.

Direct lies is usually the last means to keep the hype going and a sign of imminent collapse.

Some of us set smaller limits because we have 64GB in our system and don't want 32GB of tmp if something goes bananas.

It's also not innovative because solar powered EVs have been around since the Tesla Roadster.

You know, solar panels on roofs have been a thing for a long time, and it's not a huge stretch to take the power they make, and shove it in an EV. Viola, solar powered EV.

Sure it's not a car with built in solar panels, but the average area of a car does not provide enough power to go anywhere - given practical shading and other aspects, you might get a kilowatt or two out of the solar panels. A car with a 50kWh battery would take several days of full sunshine to charge. It's L1 charger speeds, at best. Except instead of being able to use your car during the day you have to charge it during the day in the sun and then use it at night, versus plugging it in to an L1 charger at night letting it charge while you sleep.

You're far better off with fixed solar panels on the roof and channelling that energy into the battery of your EV.

My brother built an electric bike using cheap lithium batteries he bought online. The guide he followed said the system was smart and safe, with no need to worry or really understand how it worked. One night, the bike caught fire in our garage. Lithium fires burn fast and hot, and you cannot put them out with water. By the time firefighters arrived, the garage was destroyed and part of the house was burning. My brother got third-degree burns trying to pull the bike outside.

Lithium ion batteries do not cause lithium fires. If that was the case you should be concerned about the several pounds of sodium that's sitting in your kitchen right now.

Lithium ion batteries have several weaknesses - and they catch fire not from lithium ions, but the stored energy which creates an internal short circuit that rapidly generates a lot of heat. Couple that with flammable electrolyte and cell materials that contains oxidizers and you get the recipe for a fire. The lithium itself is fairly stable in its ionic form and it's very reluctant to replace the lost electron.

It's not the lithium - because if you take a discharged battery and a charged battery and puncture them, the discharged battery (or really, anything below 50% charge) will at best spew a little contents out. meanwhile the charged battery produces exciting fireworks.

Lithium primary cells though do contain actual metallic lithium and are exciting, but their expense and non-rechargeable nature mean they are not very prevalent.

As for your kitchen - sodium in the form of table salt. Sodium chloride, which has both the reactive sodium metal plus the poisonous gas chlorine, but together is rather innocuous other than giving you high blood pressure.

If you have dodgy cells, if you're willing to give up half their capacity, they will not cause a fire even when damaged as at 50% they do not have enough energy stored to discharge with flame.

Well, people not being able to fact-check (apparently about 85-90% of the general population) are a massive problem. I am not sure AI makes that problem worse. It may make that problem more obvious though.

Don't pretend to be smarter than you are.

Nevermind. The problem was my /tmp ramdisk was full. I guess Fedora uses tmpfs by default and it's a fixed size. This has bit me before. Wonder if I can change it back to a normal directory on the disk.

No, tmpfs is not ramfs. It's called tmpfs because it's a self-resizing RAM disk - it takes more RAM the more stuff you put in there, and shrinks when you delete stuff, which is great for /tmp and other temporary file storage. It does have a limit of up to half the physical RAM installed, but that shouldn't be a huge issue on a modern system.

tmpfs might fail if there's no more RAM available which can happen if there's a lot of stuff going on, which likely might have lots of stuff in /tmp so it's a double whammy of low RAM and lots of temp files clogging things up.

Hahaha, I am so used to German names and words being written wrong, I did not even notice!
