Oh. This is /technology. I thought pants were about to go way up in price for a second.

Wow. 1000? I subscribe to like 10. Lol

I had a similar issue, but I google searched and found a setting I had to redo or change and it’s worked fine since then. Afraid I don’t remember what I had done. It was like a month ago and late, but it’s been problem free for me.

Use them at no benefit to them. Obviously, don’t buy yt premium.

I use Grayjay. Get it from the grayjay website and sideload it instead of through the apk store. Updates come quicker. It gives you commercial free YouTube, pretty much all the premium features, and let’s you download vids.

I have had no pairing issues with anything since 5.0. Also, a good set of buds 5.2 or more doesn’t have much lag. I wouldn’t pc game with it, but beyond that it’s good. Vlc let’s you easily offset audio and whatever netflix does stays synced real nice for me.

If you’d have read tye article, you would have learned that there were three groups, one with no gpt, one where they just had gpt access, and another gpt that would only give hints and clues to the answer, but wouldn’t directly give it.

That third group tied the first group in test scores. The issue was that chat gpt is dumb and was often giving incorrect instructions on how to solve the answer, or came up with the wrong answer. I’m sure if gpt were capable of not giving the answer away and actually correctly giving instructions on how to solve each problem, that group would have beaten the no gpt group, easily.

They make you have an internet connection for the pc port of the original ff7…

I was all set to re purchase the original ff7 on steam to play it again on my steam deck. Then I seen that the assholes require an internet connection to run it. My playstation sure as hell didn’t have an internet connection. Yo ho ho ho

This made me nostalgic, so I just hopped back on techguy.org and logged in again. Member there for 22 years and haven’t logged on in a decade, but they still had my little profile picture of Goku saved. Answered somebody’s hardware question. I still got it! Lol

As windows sucks more, Linux gets easier, and gaming gets way easier, this trend won’t stop any time soon, but I am curious about how big a chunk of that percentage is steam OS/steam decks.

If your ev isn’t good enough for a road trip, that means for like 90% of you, you have to own another vehicle.

Even if they manage to “gear up” and make it to 200 wh/kg, that’s years away and TODAY lithium EV batts are hitting 270 wh/kg. 35% more energy dense.

I double checked. It looks like about 5% per year.

The factory making these is still like 6 years out. The ones on market are like 65% energy dense, and lithium tech has only gained a few percent a year, so I don’t know where you’re getting your thoughts from. For EV’S, sodium ion is going to be a far shot behind solid state. By the time sodium could catch up to being close to today’s lithium batts, solid state will be far cheaper and have a huge power density advantage.

Why am I reading what looks like a bullshit fluff piece designed to drum up naive investor interest?

They’ll be cheap, but weighing more and taking up more space is not that viable of a trade off. Except for hybrid vehicles.

For me, phones have never not been diy repair outside of the ones with parts pairing, on the paired parts. But I know I’m very much the exception to the rule. I have a lot of equipment and experience doing it.

As to the fairphone 5…it’s not really a US phone. You’d have to import it and have no warranty with it. Not a good deal for how much they are and what they’re specd at.

FYI, as of January 1st 2025 both Oregon and Colorado have banned paired parts in smartphones from being sold there. So that shit practice should be going away. The EU has been doing the same.

Too much weight. Thus far, electric semi trucks aren’t viable outside of shorter range delivery fleets.

EVs are already too heavy and wear tires out quickly. The upcoming solid state batteries are what will go into future EVs. Samsung is producing them right now and they’re currently set to start going in higher end E vehicles in 2027. At best the sodium ion batts may be good for hybrids.

These will be useless for EV’s, but great for storage. They aren’t energy dense enough for what the EV market needs.

Samsungs solid state EV batteries are currently the only positive step towards EV replacement and production vehicles are set to start rolling out around 2027. They’re supposed to be lighter, last more cycles, charge faster, more energy dense, and safer than current EV liquid lithium batteries.

The sodium ion batteries will be great for large scale solar storage and house/business solar storage. They should let someone build a solar powered house that could continuously run completely off grid without needing to use lithium batteries that would need replaced every 10 to 15 years.
