You shouldn't need help from the utility to add a charger in your garage. An electrician can do it. It's the same as adding an outlet for a dryer or oven.

I've noticed no pattern with me or my friends. I haven't gotten covid despite spending days unmasked, indoors, with people who were infectious. Some of my friends have gotten ridiculously unlucky, getting covid and taking weeks to

Several of my friends and coworkers do that. All of them have gotten covid. N95 masks reduce the risk of getting a respiratory disease, but they're nowhere close to foolproof. A CDC study found that people who wore N95 masks were 83% l

It should be clear by now that covid is never going away. No country managed to stop it, no matter how strict their policies were. Unless you plan to be a hermit for the rest of your life, expect to get covid every few years.

It's great that J1772 is ubiquitous, but it charges too slowly to be useful for road trips. It's meant for "destination charging" such as hotels and homes, where the car will be sitting around for hours. It can't su

The supercharger network is now dense enough that you can drive anywhere in the US without worry. The largest gap in the nation is between Coeur d'Alene, ID and Superior, MT, and that's 100 miles. I've gone to rural Montana a

Tesla Superchargers outnumber all other HVDC chargers in every state, usually by a factor of 2. Maybe you're thinking of the chargers that use the J1772 connector?[1] Those charge via AC, and every Tesla comes with an adapter for them.

North America's CCS[1] isn't compatible with Europe's CCS[2]. They're physically different connectors. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:J1772_(CCS1).svg 2. https://en.wikipedia.org&#

That's true for the US, but the EU mandates that all vehicle charging stations support CCS Combo 2.[1] They'd have to undo their mandate to allow better chargers, and I don't think that'll happen any time soon. 1. https

I am very suspicious of this post. First, there's your story. To describe it as vague would be an understatement. What was the medical device? If the device does something important for the patient, wouldn't a big red button also

I disagree. If you get to a part of the book where you have some knowledge of the industry she's criticizing, it's clear how mistaken is. For example, her bit about phone sizes was glaringly bad. She thinks that every phone manufa

Unless you have very stressful workloads, you should be able to use the laptop normally with a lower capacity power brick. It will just charge slowly or not at all. Absolute worst case you can close the lid to charge it.

I'm sure the first couple will be preserved, but they'll quickly become as common as derelict airplanes or ships. Has SpaceX kept any of their Falcon 9 boosters besides the first one that landed? I think the old ones are disassemb

It's probably more cost-effective to keep the craft and scrap it. The structure itself is a significant amount of steel, and the engines contain expensive superalloys.

Auto-brights are enabled by default when you engage FSD, but you can manually set it to only use regular headlights by flicking the left stalk.

I think it'll fizzle out. Hydrogen has too many disadvantages. Storage is difficult. Hydrogen will diffuse through most materials. Hydrogen can't be sensed by people, so you need special sensors throughout the vehicle and any fill

If anything I'd say it's the opposite. A random person can get away with cons and scams for a long time. Whenever they get caught, they can just set up shop somewhere else. They can change their name (or simply lie to others about

It stifles innovation because anyone who wants to use a new connector has to lobby some EU bureaucrats. How long have we had to click through cookie consent popups on every website? You’d think the EU would be able to update their laws to f

This is only an issue for a few kinds of rental vehicles, and I doubt that will be the case for much longer. Teslas work just fine when out of cell range, as they unlock using your phone's bluetooth or an NFC card. If the car is in cel

In the US, many pressure-bearing components such as barrels are not controlled parts. You print the frame or lower receiver, then use normal parts that are compatible. This has been done for MP5s[1], AKs[2], Glocks[3], and even AR-10s in bi

The first person I know of to do this was at a gun buyback in Houston in August. He printed 63 single shot .22s and got $6,200 for it.[1] He then used that money to buy a bunch of guns for himself and his daughter. The guy who made $21,000
