If only they can keep celebrating indefinitely lol

Yes, that was the joke

They’re US-based and it’s labor day over there.

Fuck! Yes!

Realistically, what does this mean?

VDH no longer requires the companion. But it’s not as good as it used to be since the last update. Still works, though.

For those that don’t know, Aaron was a hero.

There are more than 80 products named Copilot (Toms Hardware, I know…).

“Cracking down” on pirating sites is the simplest thing in the world. The reason they exist is a service problem. Fix the problem, this removes the need for those sites to exist, and they go away. Add the problem again, they pop up again.

He doesn’t have to be training for Facebook. He can be doing it on the side. Training is training.

Which compounds the problem.

A good day. A good day, indeed.

Trolls don’t live in caves. They live under bridges, where life passes by above them.

And the other half is in denial

Oh, that’s brilliant! I’m actually saving up now to hopefully be able to start solar by EOY. Batteries are expensive, but, if my maths is right, it’ll be less expensive (and much greener) over their 5 or so year lifetime, than paying electric in that same timeframe. Regrettably, ebike is not an option for me (balance issues).

It’s for the children’s safety, like age verification

Does it, though?

The quick chargers are where my concerns lie. If every EV stays with that standard plug-it-for-8-hours charger, my question is negated. But that’s not what’s going to happen, I don’t think most grids are ready for that level of mass adoption. I think they can get there with offloading (one commenter said solar chargers for EVs), but we’re not all there yet. The revolution implied here will cripple the grid in the short term. Similar to what those “ai” datacenters are doing now, but on a larger scale and in a way that can’t be similarly regulated or limited. EVs are the future for sure, but we need to be ready to charge them in every home, and we’re not.

And to clarify, I’m not (and wasn’t in my original comment) suggesting Evs should be stopped or that they’re bad. Only that we must be ready to support them.

we charge ours primarily using excess solar from our home panels

This is excellent! It is cost prohibitive where I am, but I guess if one can afford an EV, theoretically, they can afford a solar charger for it. I don’t think it will catch on fast enough everywhere, but I like this.

Blame the EVs? Did you even read my comment? Lol
