Bullshit. You can easily get a battery for less than $25,000. The Tesla model 3 is a 50KWh pack and is $14000 to replace and likely costs way less to make.

If you were really skilled you could buy 50KWh worth of cells for less than $10000.

The reason the batteries are more is because you have SUVs and Trucks that need twice the amount of cells for about the same range because they’re not aerodynamic

I agree with you here but I wouldn’t want to pay for a host for some FOSS project and I wouldn’t host that on my own IP either.

Decades is far from infinite

Idk about infinite, if they stop getting updates they will eventually get phased out and if you can’t download the application it’s also dead. All that aside the sun is going to go super nova eventually.

Also a lot of people don’t want to self host. I doubt you self host your own Lemmy instance for instance.

Hydrogen was as good as dead for years because compressing it is so wasteful

I thought thunderbolt was DP passthrough as well

“so you just run android?”

If coffee is a tea then I’m going to demand the pasta tea not be poured down the drain

I want to move out of the US for the same reason but I ultimately think I shouldn’t. If I run I leave others to fight for what is right without me. I’d rather die in a shit hole than watch my shit hole become fascist from afar.

To me it looks like they think of the Internet like corporations do and needing growth to justify investment. I think that’s fair reasoning for sites that are profit driven but Lemmy isn’t.

My first complaint with Tesla is the shit tablet for everything. I don’t want to have to look at a screen while trying to drive. Elon is a shit but every publicly traded company is going to be owned in some regard by a billionaire fascist.

Sure but when I’m not on my network a VPN doing that is good.

But some VPNs do provide you a little protection on things you might click on. Ublock and not being a dummy will get you around most of that use but for general users it is more safe.

There are far more uses for a VPN. For instance if I want to access my NAS while outside my home.

This building looks like I feel clocking in for work.

Because it’s like old forums where the first person to comment gets engagement

She’s right, she is that some people.

I’d do it for 192 thousand.

If the company is going public it doesn’t really matter, they can just sell the stock.

I worked in supporting those and I had an easier time helping people with windows phones. 🤢
