It releases on my birthday !

I don’t think I have a choice then, I’ll have to get it on day one.

Is it really a drop in the bucket b when we take the value per vehicle ?

If we compare Ford to BYD for example.

In 2023 Ford sold around 2 millions cars and BYD around 3 millions.

For Ford only 72 608 cars out of these 2 millions were EV (3.6%) For BYD it’s was almost 1.6 million EV (53.3%)

In 2023 Ford got $9.2 billions from the US government to produce EV, so around $126 000 per EV sold in 2023.

$126 000*1 600 000 = $2 trillions ! So unless BYD received more than $2 trillions dollars from the Chinese government in 2023 it means that each EV sold by Ford is more subsidized than an EV sold by BYD.

This is not an analysis, I took huge shortcuts in this comment and might have done mistakes in the calculations.

The argument of China subsidizing EV is always coming back but I would be curious to know the comparison with the US.

The US are subsidizing EV too I would not be surprised if the amount of subsidy per EV produced is much higher for US manufacturers than China.

And we get these 100W from transforming food that we find on/in the ground.

No,

There is all the backup of all my family pictures in the drives.

If something happens to me I want to make due that they will have access to it.

It’s a real story!

At the beginning of the 20th century Henry Ford’s electrical engineers had issues they could not solve with a gigantic generator. Henry Ford called Steimmetz, a genius mathematician working for GE to help them.

When he arrive at the factory he spent 2 days and night listening to the generator and scribbling on his notebook.

After that he asked for a ladder, climbed on it, put a chalk mark on a specific spot and explain to the engineers that they needed to remove the plate and replace sixteen windings behind the plate. After that the generator worked perfectly and Ford received a $10 000 bill.

Ford asked for an itemized bill and Steinmetz sent this

• Making chalk mark on generator $1.
• Knowing where to make mark $9,999.

Ford paid the bill.

Someone needs to change something, this is exactly the purpose of opening an IT ticket.

Better than recyclable, glass is reusable.

You can just send the bottle back to the factory, the factory washes it and refill it.

I was doing some blacksmithing in high school, mostly knifes.

When reaching 800°C steel is not magnetic anymore, it’s also a good temperature to start forging the steel. So I needed a atrong magnet to know when the steel was hot enough, I used what I have available: a hard drive magnet.

It felt quite “mad-maxy” to disassemble a broken hard drive to use it as a tool to forge knifes

Wood fiber will burn slowly without any toxic fume. Its not perfect but better than most oil derived products.

If available in your area, Wood fibre is often a better option than mineral wool.

I’ve lost some of my sanity reading this !

Tailscale is amazing, I work with a small company and we were battling with our IT contractor to have a VPN running for remote work.

After a while of things not working as it should I just set up tailscaled because I was using it with my home server and it just works.

We are now on a paid plan and everyone else is using it when working remotely.

The price of electricity produced is an interesting metric to look at but can be very misguiding alone without more data around it.

It like comparing the price of rain water compared to well water.

The same way that solar is cheaper than nuclear, rain water is much cheaper than well water, you just need a roof with a gutter to get rain water.

Does it means that we should stop using wells and rely only on rain water and use water only when it rains ? Or do we also want to have tanks, do we need a backup for when the tanks are empty ? …

I’m probably not the beat person to answer to you about the technical aspect and I’m not sure if I fully understand your question.

However I can tell you that there is no need to change anything at network level for tailscale to work.

I’ve installed and used tailscale on desktops, VM, raspberry, NAS or smartphone on plenty of different network, I’ve also remotely guided people to install tailscale on their machine at home and it always just worked. No issue at all and nothing to change on the network for it to work.

What I enjoy with tailscale is that the traffic goes directly from the host to the client.

Since there is no cloud relay I can connect to all my services via tailscale, even on local network and it’s not going to impact the speed.

This way I only have one setup that works the same way on local network or remotely but still have the local network speed when I am at home.

If the UK was still in Europe the operator would not be allowed to charge anything for roaming.

So this would not have happened without Brexit

For this bitwarden has a solution: the emergency contact. You can designate an emergency contact that can request access to your account at any time.

If you don’t manually deny the request they can get access to your bitwarden passwords after X days (X can be configured)

I spent sooo much time on the demo as a kid.

My grandmother had a computer with the demo on it with only one basic map, I’ve played this same map over and over each time we went to her place.

Then later in life I’ve discovered the full version !
