Well considering CATL is launching commercial sodium-ion batteries. I would tend to think otherwise. There's also other interesting investments in air breathing cathode batteries.

Cost and materials wise, Cathode are a larger portion. Of course, Anodes are of extreme importance as well but Graphite\Silicon are more manageable than Nickel for example. Anodes are more of an enabler for other things. for instance, anode

Nickel is viable for mining in set regions as I've said before. Although Li-ion batteries are named over lithium, they require quite a small amount of it compared to other materials. the bulk of the battery is the Cathode.

If you look strategically Russia is in trouble, their economy is brittle and heavily relies on fossils, the same fossils the west is phasing out for "clean" alternatives. Fuel dependency will definitely drop in the coming decade,

Lithium-ion batteries is just one, albeit very popular, option. You have batteries that do not use lithium at all. The battery market is going to see several different technologies for different use cases.

Nickel is quite rare in the sense that the volume available for us on earth isn't as robust as something like iron or lithium, which are extremely abundant. Also Nickel is highly concentrated in set regions which also causes problems.

Yes! just that need to start mining massive amount of it. But there are batteries that don't rely on lithium and many other alternative technologies.

For the most part yes. It is true that many batteries today use rare earth metals like Nickel or Cobalt but there are plenty of good alternatives that don't. Companies start using chemistries like LFP which relies mostly on iron, whic

Actually, techwise AMD has outperformed Nvidia. Nvidia was only able to keep up because they used Samsung 8nm which is extremely cheap. AMD silicon is doing much better when it comes to perf/area, Nvidia chips are massive, also Nvidia

People try to address that will simpler solutions that wouldn't break backwards compatibility or require a full re-write. Isolation, mitigation and prevention of exploitation is common.

Yes but practically this isn't viable. Nothing is impossible unless it disobeys the laws of physics(which are also limited to what we currently know) It would be equivalent to saying, well it isn't economic enough for energy compa

As if rewriting entire OS components is easy or viable for vendors, even big ones like Apple or Microsoft. Also backwards compatibility is a feature many wouldn't give away for extra security, at least not now.

Had to chime in after seeing this comment. LTT is definitely a click-bait, simple and shallow channel but that's their strength. LTT wouldn't be as big if they did highly technical "boring" analysis, they can be so big a

Password managers offer plenty of perks. Automatic logins, notes, tokens\OTP and more. Writing passwords each time is so old now. there are plenty of good password managers either local or cloud based.

While I agree, Cloud based PM do have other issues. Mainly with compromised\rogue updates, you push a malicious update to customers and then get access without needing to compromise the hosts. Very similar to a supply-chain attack.

It doesn't compromise the master-password and is not wide-reaching as it requires the victim to be lured to a specific website. Doesn't match what people claim here

That's still an issue. humanly generated passwords tend to be predictable, repetitive and not very long. A computer will always do a better job at generating\remembering passwords. hardware 2FA is definitely a good idea.

You're still trying to defend your position... sad. Claiming Tesla is the same as VW which basically buys batteries and shoves them into existing chassis\frames, is a joke. Tesla produces most of the worlds batteries: https:/

200kwh? that's a disaster then. 200Kwh * 40K = 8Gwh?! that's unrealistic, battery production is the single most limiting factor for all EV's. big batteries = low volumes

Ford had years of domination, didn't it? It is extremely hard to predict 15 years from now but the next five years? There are no competitors(perhaps besides Chinese battery makers) everyone is still in early R&D\prototype phases.

Wrong. Tesla has custom designs from form factor to chemistry. Panasonic was crucial at the begining with their own designed\made 18650. their role is shrinking fast Tesla's expertise when it comes to batteries is unmatched in the auto
