The vast majority of charging is done at home, though. Five-minute-charging/swapping is basically a gimmick to show off to your friends, and only really sees (questionable) use during that once-a-year road trip. The main value in these

Flashing was already solved by UF2, where the device-to-flash temporarily pretends to be a USB storage device. Giving raw USB access to to random websites for that is massively overkill. I could understand it if you were trying to do real

The whole dance has been made significantly easier by the adoption of UF2 flashing by large parts of the custom keyboard hobby: the device temporarily pretends to be a USB storage device, so you can now download the file and drag&drop

Do AI data centers not need internet connectivity anymore? The value of an IX isn't just in the IX itself, but also in the presence of hundreds of parties for direct peering, and excellent connectivity to the rest of the world. It make

You're forgetting about the pipeline. People don't like switching to something different. If they already know product A you're going to have a really hard time convincing them to learn product B to do roughly the same thin

Most of it? Parking is only expensive in dense downtown areas. Go out into the suburbs and on-street parking is almost always free.

> The removed parking needs to be replaced by transit options people actually want to use. Removing surface lots doesn't immediately mean removing parking . You're still free to build parking - you just have to integrate it

In a city with a properly-designed transit system you wouldn't need a car at all. I think it is quite telling how car ownership is viewed here: it it something you "have to" "give up". Car use has been normalized

Those are still per-customer and require you to dedicate an entire IP address to it. That's overkill for a server which mostly talks over ipv6 but needs to connect to an ipv4-only service like Github once in a blue moon.

Sure, the data plane supports it - but what about the management plane? I wouldn't be surprised if ISPs did all the management tasks through a 30-year-old homebrew pile of technical debt, with lots of things relying on basic assumpti

You still need a round trip to space and back - which with a Starlink-like orbit means a distance of at least 400km. At that point it makes significantly more sense to place your "edge computing AI engine" at a 5G base station a

Sure, in the same way that there is unlimited solar power on earth. There are orbits with 24/7 or near-24/7 sunlight - but those are very undesirable if you want a low-latency data link back to Earth. Just like you can get 24&#x

That is exactly why the term is being used. A company like Amazon doesn't treat its warehouse workers as human beings. Workers are seen as disposable: forced to piss in bottles, forced to work around the corpses of their collapsed co
