So literally what oracle has done for 30 years? Run it on one type of hardware it costs X per core, run it on something else it costs Y per core.

Someone impersonating someone else is already forbidden. The impersonators in Vegas get by because they are openly claiming to be impersonators. Nobody in their right mind is going to think the fake Elvis on the corner is actually Elvis.

If they’re applying for a random acting job they’re fine. If they’re applying for a Taylor Swift impersonator role, they’re likely to run into legal issues. I don’t see why that’s a problem. Why does their bodily autonomy have to include a

That’s not really accurate. Europe uses CCS2 which is completely different and incompatible with CCS1 which is what we have in the US. Recently the US agreed to move to J3400 for dc fast charging with the expectation CCS will eventually go

So you’re telling me a 20 minute charge is going to get you through 24 hours with a workout every day? That just seems unlikely to me based on everything I’ve read.

You’re missing the point. It’s not useless as a feature in a vacuum. It seems useless on a device that needs to be charged every night to be used during the day. I’m extremely skeptical of the folks saying they only need to charge for 20 m

The manual says 45 minutes to 80%, 90 minutes to 100%. If I'm only charging to 80% that's roughly 14 hours of battery life on a Series 9 or 10 (18 hours on full charge). So not even a full day? I just don't get how the mat

The decibels is probably less the issue than the actual tone/pitch. It’s not that it’s so loud it makes your ears hurt, it’s that the pitch of the sound is extremely grating.
