I'm curious about the usability of the clothing. Who wants to wear clothes that actively cool you when you're in a cold environment, or heat you when you're in a hot environment?
Me too, but pretending like you could get that from a phase ii proposal is premature and the wrong venue to draw such a conclusion.
It’s like the conservatives claiming $3M was spent on a shrimp treadmill to see how fast they run and is a sign of waste when the actual details were 1.5M of which only $15k was used for the treadmill to study things like the impact on shrimp of disease and changes in water quality. Low information people think they get an accurate summary of the reality.
I came across a "special character" requirement while creating an account. The client validation was not the same as the server validation. The client proceeded as if my account was created, but it never was. The client functioned without an account until it was closed. I asked the creator what their app's problem was, why did I need to keep resetting my password, then be told that I don't have an account, and have to create it anew.
They would not believe I was creating an account and using the device, because their own logging was so terrible.
I had to send them a screen recording from me using this abomination, and only then was I told "you're using the wrong special characters". They helpfully gave me some examples of allowed special characters, which then would pass the server validation.
I wish they would have gotten rid of the account requirement, as the device and client software seemed to work fine without them.
I don't see why a slider couldn't work with "Auto".
Setting the temperature where one end is minimum, the other is maximum, and between them you have a choice of degrees.
Activated vents would probably be better kept as buttons instead of being on a slider, I might want to use the floor vents at the same time as the defroster.
Fan speed (imo) should be on a knob, like a volume control. It would be fun to see it move, like a motorized pot on a receiver.
Confident talk, but that's not at all the reality that I'm seeing.
Public transport is almost completely electric powered where I live (ferries still haven't changed to electric, but it's coming.)
Trucking is electrified, as in, the operators have realzed that they're cheaper to run, so they are changing over when possible. (Sidenote: with some of the heaviest loads worldwide)
Very many agricultural buildings in active use either have, or are installing solar. Their energy usage is so high, that any offset to it is "free" money. Many have installed batteries also, so if there is an interruption in power delivery, there isn't an immediate need to start up a generator.
Electric tractors are also something I've heard them want. Less maintenance means less time spent not being able to work.
Sure, fertilizer and animal husbandry have other emissions which aren't tackled by this, but why exclude improvement just because some other area isn't affected.
Zero greenhouse emissions isn't a remotely achievable goal.
I hope you have never run a technology project this way by starting with a goal that simply can't be accomplished; you would have set it up to fail, demoralized your team, and chased the wrong priorities.
The goal is net zero, meaning, emissions added = emissions removed. There must be an allowance for some emissions. Industrial human life cannot continue without some amount of greenhouse emissions.
For that goal, I am way better off driving less than buying a new EV - it releases greenhouse gases to produce the plastic in your Tesla and the battery in your Nissan Leaf.
I walk to the supermarket. I work from home. I don't eat red meat. I'm careful with my home electricity consumption. For the third time in this thread: my old 4 cylinder Corolla is not the thing standing between us and existential doom. Focus on more important things.
I don't understand the myopic focus on car emissions: is it because Elon talks about it? Is it because it's the most easily seen for you?
Your Corolla is worse than a BEV because it puts way more GHG in the atmosphere, making net zero harder. Your opinion that the Corolla emits less GHG than a BEV is not borne out by the data. Most of the pollution of your car is from using it, not building it. EVs flip that and only are only slightly worse to produce. And we have to replace pretty much every road vehicle with a zero emission one, and sooner is better.
Buying the new EV, selling your old car, and helping push ICE vehicles off the roads is better than not replacing it in any reasonable environmental accounting.
Also, 15% is... a very significant percentage. You have to do lots of efficiency improvements across every part of the world to make net zero happen. Not to mention that slice of the pie would grow to 30-40% if electricity goes zero-carbon.
And we simply have the technology to zero it out. But, like you, most people want to invent a reason the green technology is actually bad.
It works fine with intel and amd igpu's. They won't run many games at the native resolution though. Doesn't really matter to me, as the igpu's are in work laptops for me, so 60hz or better passes for "adequate".
Even a raspberry pi 4 or newer has dual 4k outputs, that can fill the entire screen at native resolution. Macs have been the worst to use with it so far.
That's a data point but that video is an opinion stated as a fact. You'll find others who have different results. It would be nice if there was some actual research.
Honestly it'd be really cool to see some repro parts for these like an upper case (even without the Apple logo).
I junked my old AE2 ages ago and finally got a replacement today. If I knew then what I know now I would've salvaged a bunch of stuff off of it. Oh well.
Back when Windows 2000 was the new thing, I used to put "Program Files" on another disk with this. Starting programs became faster too, as things loaded both from the OS drive and the drive where the programs were installed.
