Can it be used for batteries ? I know large scale mechanical batteries are a very efficient way of storing energy, but no idea about the state of small scale ones.

Oh, the rabbit hole goes much much deeper. American infrastructure is actively hostile to people walking/biking/doing anything else than driving and even then not very safe. I'd recommend the NotJustBikes youtube channel that

Looking at it from an engineering perspective it's a pretty dumb problem to go after. Coming mostly from my experience with minification of electronics. E.g. the problems you get at 150nm are almost the same you'd get at 140nm or

Are you serious with that ? Slower ? Maybe. But definitely more reliable. I definitely won't miss flash ads, Silverlight shenanigans, the latest Java security hole and browsers filled with memory leaks. Not to mention stuff like jpeg-e
