It will be less efficient, yes. But it is still a net positive. If it is cheaper to build it there, you can just add more power to compensate for that loss in efficiency.

It will not be a 100% loss. For reference: the power loss of the transmission in the US is on average 5%. Let’s say it is double that, it is still very little in the grand scheme.

Mainly for cheaper applications which are not as weight (and size) sensitive. One example is entry level EVs or home energy storage.

Or the subsidies on fossil…

I have a new car, and it has a system like this. It works based on map and camera (for sign detection) data. It is not flawless, but it works.

WhatsApp is the same as texting in this regard.

To be honest: they didn’t. They were perfectly clear in their announcement that they are not the first to do it.

Did you report it? Maybe no one noticed yet.

Just fyi: OSMand is available on iOS.

It got a lot better. Now (or I should say, in a few months) you can place icons wherever you want on the homescreen.

Yes, pizza and burgers and stuff, sure. But usually not for donuts.

Where do you take that number from? 1MWh/mo seems quite high. Also considering that the stored energy will only be used when solar or wind are low, the battery will never be used to supply 100% of the electricity.

So it will support many more homes.

A donut delivery service? That’s the most American thing I have read today.

The Wolf Amendment, named after former US representative Frank Wolf, prohibits NASA from using government funds to cooperate with the Chinese government — unless it has certification from the FBI that such collaboration poses no threats to national security or risks inadvertently leaking space-related tech or data.

So, it is not like China does not want to cooperate.

iOS has a built in document scanner, which does all of that as well. Has never let me down.

That or the files he has are badly corrupted…

You mean files? Or apps? Or mails? …

Exactly this. YOU can make things interesting. It really depends on the attitude.

Upvote for actually giving (I think) useful advice and adjusting expectations.

No interesting hobbies? Have you been to interesting places? If no, do you want to change that? I know, it sounds boring to go alone, but it usually isn’t.

To be honest: a laptop that requires 240W of power is really not a portable laptop anymore, is it?

The battery wouldn’t last even half an hour, and that would be with the maximum 100Wh you can take on an airplane.
