It means USB Power Delivery and is a standard for negotiating custom-other-than-5V voltages from a USB Type-C power supply and communicating to the device how much current it is allowed to draw. It's why you can charge your phone with

Weight always is a factor since heavy batteries cost more to transport, period. It's always relevant, not least for the installation too.

LiFePO₄ (LFP) is overwhelmingly safe and cheap. Lithium isn't the problem here exactly.

I don't understand, what are you calling a Freudian slip here? I put accident in quotes because it's generally understood nowadays that the term isn't quite the correct one. If a collision occurs because of bad road/inte

Absolute numbers don't mean anything at all. Compare distance driven per person to arrive at something meaningful.

In many places I'd seriously question the motives for asking about either in general. Do you really need gender info to write better targeted spam mails for your SaaS product?

You say that and yet many places have an order of magnitude less car "accidents" per population than the US currently.

It starts making sense once you consider that those type of measures are not intended to be secure, but to bully the 95% who won't/can't defend themselves. Security Theater at it's finest.

> Yes, but we seem to have plateaued there. Completely autonomous farming vehicles have only been a thing for a few years and not been universally adopted yet (partly due to the high cost). I suspect there are still some ways to go here.

I guess if the prompt is complex enough to be protected then the image would be too?

Apparently they tried to acquire Wiz last year already, which means they've been thinking about it probably since before they let all those engineers go.

That's the thing, the manufacturer can rate the cells at any C they want. The real question isn't whether these are "rated" for 10C, but how much degregation these will show after 1000 cycles at 10C. Cooling systems will

I don't quite understand, in what way is it not wrong to say that "physics (or smth else) is stuck", except maybe a small subfield?

> the not-even-wrong idea that physics is stuck But not all that right either. The thing about physics is that most progress is being made in highly theoretical areas without direct obvious applications. That might look like stalling bec

Apart from all those other reasons, the line is also incredibly stupid because they aren't even selling those batteries to anyone . (Those couple of "power walls" barely make a dent)

Attackers aren't usually in a position to reset firmware, and if they are they might as well do a whole host of other things like replace the device with a compromised one. I don't think there is much of a point to trying to prote

Why do they look like that? There shouldn't even be an engine under that huge-ass hood. Cab-Over makes way more sense, including for visibility.
