Managers trying to fix IT stuff usually make it way worse.

when a failure happens in IT you have to ask who was running the ship and what they did. half the time the idiots can't tell us in what order they did the failed update. we have tons of issues and need better techs, not idiots and not a remote worker. I am speaking about Virtualization and storage admins.

You just can't say one size fits all. Politicians think everyone lives in NYC.

You do know once a lithium ion battery in an EV catches on fire the fire departments can only dunk it to put it out. Many race tracks have the same concern.

Eclectic batteries have been around a long time, prolly as long as the internal combustion engine. In the past we got to pick when to use appropriate technology. Right now EV transportation is being shoved down everyone's throat, those government incentives did not exist when transportation changed from horse and buggy to the automobile. I think the electric pickup from Dodge will hit the right balance. Dodge really can't figure out how to make a transmission that last more than the warranty period so it will be a win-win for them. I can't wait for all the rich people to get 1000kwh or 2000kwh chargers at home, it will mean running 3 phase to your shop should be just as cheap.

I usually flash $500 and I get to charge right away. Good way to make the trip up north to the cabin and not have to wait in line.

how much did this cost?
how much of the cost were the perishable batteries?

I could not quickly find this information so I assume the cost is out of this world and does not make a case to use lithium ion batteries at scale.

China is using MIPS for MANY internal projects, so you can say MIPS is VERY important

I agree, all that wasted time to make a file system "like" ZFS but not as "Good" as ZFS. OpenZFS is done. It is time to take the tin foil hat off and think like a business person.

Stupid people keep re-inventing the wheel. Your gonna win the battle but you really need to focus on the war, the war with Microsoft and if you don't you will be relegated to the dust bin.

It sounds to me like we have some politicians who are junkies, addicted to spending money they don't have. Like most rich brats.

How are those banks and lenders doing with record high inflation and cost of goods. Can Americans even afford to by a new car?

Is the US federal government going to have to default on loads?

do we have a million EV's on the road? I think there are 100-200 different battery designs that will make recycling difficult. Did you see where in Europe they want all the EV's to have hot swap batteries? That would be cool for the consumer and a home run for the thieves in the USA.

Well this year I am on the blocks for upgrading 3 mac computers. All will have the M2 chip, not an intel desktop chip. Unified RAM is something I have to see more of how it compares to stick ram.

Maybe people are upgrading the tablets or phones they have?

Maybe the Wintel duopoly is a sinking ship?

I can't wait for Friday night when all the wealthy that have DC quick chargers at home start DC fast charging at 5:30PM so they can have a full charge for a night out on the town.

You know 10 model S cars have the similar battery as the semi....

You know a DC fast charge tesla semi requires an entire substation

You know what happens when one substation gets 3x the load? How large are the wires that go to the substation?

I am waiting.....

So it looks like to put MS SQL on that box it might be $1.3 million. I assume we can negotiate a lower price???

My Dad said you know how to tell when a politician is lying?

When his lips are moving.

These same morons are the ones that want to regulate wood stoves because when you burn wood you pollute. 1% of America in the rural Northern areas are not polluting the world. These are the same political elitists' that are telling you a gas stove is killing you....

Yep, there is some of that hacked up junk in the trunk that is VB .NET because the devops said it would be magic. When the successor of .NET framework comes out there would be a button to move all the legacy code to the new framework and it would work perfect. This was the story I was told by our senior developer...

What size particles kill you or reduce your life expectancy?

Soot particle emissions from diesel engines raise health and
environmental issues, primarily due to its micro and nano-scale
sizes that can penetrate into human respiration systems [1].
Therefore, engine developers work towards new generations of
diesel engines achieving low soot emissions. While the overall
amount of soot particles have been reduced significantly, an
outstanding issue is that soot particles emitted from current diesel
engines have highly functionalized and defective surface
structures [2]. Such structures can cause cytotoxic effects and
stimulate inflammatory reaction much easier than those large
soot particles from black-smoke diesel engines. Therefore, the
need is clear for an improved understanding of soot particle size
distribution and morphology.

Clean air and Exercise, you must be one of the tin foil hat people. In the USA we have pills for everything and some funny excuses... Spoons made me fat!
