For now, flash charging is in China, Europe, UK, and Malaysia (soon). The chargers actually have battery packs in them because the charging current is almost always too much to be supplied by the grid directly.

Most LFP cells deflagrate under puncture releasing invisible copious hydrogen gas that may or may not ignite. https://youtu.be/07BS6QY3wI8 https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/f9f4/681cf6d36adc72ae643555...

No, that's improper flammable gas management. Constant igniters need to be close enough to all cells to be effective in preventing the creation of a confined space bomb. https://youtu.be/6LbBryib8yY https://

I used ZFS until it self-corrupted and refused to mount rw ever again. Community support was totally unhelpful and there was no resolution except buy another array and use something else. There's way too much ZFS cult fanboy glazing ou

PE buys up hospitals to gut them, make them less capable, and cheaper to run. Then, they buy up air ambulance services to unnecessarily fly patients to other hospitals they own because it's more profitable at the expense of care delays

This isn't really a viable technology because it requires careful invasive chemical injection into risky cell chemistries. Generally, liquid electrolyte and plastic separator NMC, LFP, and LiPo should be banned for all but hobby uses w

Also, every car manufacturer has to go through crash testing and homologation in order to sell cars directly to US consumers. And, without a parts supply chain, maintaining a car becomes very difficult. So even paying 200-300% over the sale

It's not native ZFS. They threw the native port away and replaced it with ZoL.

50%+ of companies that lose all of their data go out of business in 6 months. DR/BCP costs are readily justified by doing a Business Impact Analysis (BIA).. budget up to some fraction of risk cost * risk probability. And a friendly rem

The net effect is demand destruction. The US shouldn't be exporting diesel when it lacks sufficient refining capacity to make up for all of the capacity destroyed or unavailable from the US war of choice with Iran. And as the price of

For at least 25 years, bot farms have been an easy way for ad presenters and mediators to fraudulently profit without showing ads to real users. It costs money and effort to disambiguate humans from bots.
