Please do not pretend climate change is any one groups responsibility.

This happened in 2005 as well, except with 3 hurricanes; Francis, Ivan, and Jeanne. I doubt climate change has gotten better since then.

There's nothing more I want out of a phone than what I have with the P9F right now. Price should come down, but I'm using this thing until it's dead. Only other thing that could entice me is a rollable like LG was going to release here.

What? I mentioned a third party investigation and you're saying they "investigated themselves" and brought up law firms for some reason. While completely ignoring the fact there is no evidence outside of the claims made by the ex employee

What else can you do in that situation? Fire other employees based on hearsay? Unfortunately, you have no idea what you're talking about about. It's perfectly fine to dislike a companies actions but let's not perpetuate falsehoods and look like clowns.

Are they stupid? In fairness, I don't know how they're making any money at all. I've never seen anyone interact with the discover feed and therefore see ads. There really isn't a way to monetize Snapchat without killing it off.

I couldn't imagine putting 8 years of effort into a game only for it to bomb. But a least they got their paychecks.

 

Hilarious, when will they learn you cannot sell a game that gamers do not want to play.

With home charging that worsens the issue. When EVs are more widely used and people opt to install chargers in their homes, the demand for DC chargers will also fall.

I think the difference with gas stations is that you can get that $50 in a few minutes compared to half an hour, so you need comparatively less stations.

And another is will the price of charging stations actually come down? I don't actually believe they're exorbitantly expensive right

Profitable Ev charging... (files.catbox.moe)

I've been thinking over this the last few days, and I do not see a situation where ev charging will ever be profitable enough for businesses to install them at large. I assume most public charging is DC fast charging so I'm talking about that.

Where do you put a charger so that is receives the most amount of use? Well that's easy, wherever gas stations currently are—but that's where the problems start. How many chargers do you install, and at what charging speed?

The theoretical max amount of money you can make in an hour is the charging speed x price/kW. So for a 100kW charger at 50¢/kW you're hard capped at $50/hr. I found a 240kW DC charger on aliexpress for $44,000. Using the 50¢/kW from above it'd take 36 days to break even, assuming 24/7 usage at the theoretical maximum. With a normal usage of around 6 hours total (i'm just throwing numbers out there) that jumps to 146 days. After 10 years of operating you're looking at around $1.2 million or a 2727% return

However, the time to break even grows and the return shrinks with the amount of chargers installed. And this is without factoring in installation costs and the power companies electricity price, which could easily cut that down to a fourth. I also do not see a charger going 10 years without a single repair.

I'm just wondering if i'm missing something here.

Those reports were both unsubstantiated by a 3rd party audit. Linus does not prefer profits over accuracy, when they received backlash for being inaccurate and rushing out videos they took a week off and reworked their system and have stuck to it. ~~Gamers Nexus~~ The people who predominantly called them out have done, and are doing the same things as LTT.

When their book bag carabiners were breaking they didn't say "oh well", and they shipped out replacement parts and gave them a $25. If they still weren't happy they got a full refund. This does not sound like "corpa boss" to me. Now I can't tell the future, but right now LTT is just fine.

From cammer:

Just happened to me. Am I even the idiot, the light jumps from green to red (no yellow) when I was 10ft away from the crossing?

I'm not even reading that article because, no. But I'm all for an award system here on lemmy. All money goes to the instance hoster and the user gets badges, maybe a highlighted name. The most gilded users get entered into a giveaway every month or so for something like a T-shirt.

That's allows for the instances to sustain themselves and gives users more incentive to post, without stupid subscriptions and promoting content farming.
