That's right, once you've realized an EV charged from solar power will have a higher EROEI than a gas car fueled from oil sands and corn juice "the discussion has run its course", and that gasoline has a finite time of e

Its interesting the touch bar was also hung up, as from what I recall the touchbar was actually driven by a separate processor (the T1/T2 chip) and had its own version of watchOS running. I would have thought it would have continued wo

Sure, a slider can make sense there, I agree. But now I've got a part of the screen dedicated to be the spot to tap to start changing the volume and a part dedicated to it being the brightness taking away from the other useful parts of

I don't necessarily use the numbered function keys all the time (as in F1-F12), but I use those physical buttons constantly. Brightness, volume, play/pause, mic mute, are all buttons I press a good bit. Many of those I'd rath

Fairphones absolutely do not have a socketed CPU and user replaceable memory. Each generation has one mainboard with soldered components, which I don't see listed as a part to replace on their site.

I don't know what to tell you. ICE cars are doomed, it's basic physics. They depend on something that is a finite resource that you agree peaked a long while ago. They're well along their way to complete failure. And yet whil

But this guy says 9 out of 10 doctors prefer Camels! Mark Mills is essentially the same as those researchers who told you cigarettes don't cause cancer and lead in the gas isn't anything to worry about.

Hey what do you know its that same guy David Moss that has nothing but pro-Tesla posts providing the evidence. Strange how it always seems to be the same few people over and over here.
