That's not psychological so it doesn't belong on this list.

I'm getting a blank page on firefox.

When I read 'Lotus Elise based EV' I wondered if this could be an old article about the original Tesla Roadster. Is there something special about that car that makes it attractive to build an EV out of? Is it just that it's small and light, or more than that?

Interesting, I might try oolong! Might save me drinking multiple cups and running to pee so often.

If you think so, what's the major technology that they're ignoring that the industry is in the process of switching to?

Tesla has Autopilot. My 1200km day was the car driving itself 90% of the way. Of course I was paying attention and ready to take over, but the effort is reduced. Still, I agree... not easy. It still sucked.

One day but multiple charges. Got up at 7am and got home at 1am. Port Macquarie to Melbourne. I was bringing the car home from buying it interstate. On autopilot probably 95% of the time.

I charged 6 times that day, but those were around 40% to 90%, not 0 to 100. It could have been 3 charges if I risked getting closer to zero and spent more total time charging.

The car mapped the charging stops out for me. Sometimes multiple supercharger stops are better as the car can charge faster when the battery is low - I.e. 30% to 40% is quicker than 90 to 100, so if they're not much out of the way it's quicker to stop for 6 quick charges than 3 slow ones.

You could say all this about Kodak in the early 2000s - they were incredibly successful, demand was still mostly for film cameras, people didn't have PC for transferring photos etc...

I'm not saying it makes business sense for Toyota to drop ICE sales immediately. But their feeble, half assed EV effort is going to turn them into another Blackberry if it doesn't change quickly.

What do you think is going to replace BEVs?

No, it doesn't count, as the Prius in 1997 was entirely powered by petrol.

It was a great car. I drove a Prius for ten years and only sold it because I moved overseas. But it was no EV. Even the plugin Prius is not what we mean when we say 'EV'.

I just drove from Brisbane to Melbourne in one weekend (1,800km in one weekend) -- to pick up a model 3 I bought interstate, actually -- and I assure you, charging was not an issue. The car automatically adds supercharger stops to the map and I didn't need to stay at one for longer than half an hour.

Okay, Toyota has technically released EVs. Still a half assed effort, and I think still a fair criticism - I can't buy one, as they don't sell it in Australia, and they barely promote them. They're not behind EVs in any meaningful way.

I mean, the fact that I just bought an EV and have never even heard of any of Toyota's says something. No mention of them on their Australian website. Never heard of them on social media either, and I'm constantly watching videos about EVs.

Kodak released digital cameras eventually. Blackberry released Android phones eventually. Didn't mean much, it was too little too late -- they ignored the writing on the wall for too long.

Any tea does, just to varying degrees, and it definitely works. This is due to a chemical called L-theanine. I never have caffeine without theanine now. Usually I just drink a green tea alongside whatever other caffeine I have (or only drink tea). You can buy it separately but I don't see the point.

Most people cannot afford a lawyer, even if they work full time.

It's funny for me to come across this comment now. Just 15 minutes ago I got home from driving 1,250km today in an EV. Yes, I am tired. Yes, I agree nobody should drive longer in one day.

The Tesla Model 3 has been out for six years. Toyota could release this tomorrow and still have alot of catching up to do.

Toyota somehow develop this magical battery for an EV but forgot to develop an EV.

I truly think Toyota's ignorance of EVs will end up turning them into the next Kodak or Blackberry.

They don't NEED a breakthru battery like this, the current ones work well -- I drove 1200km today in a Tesla. What they need to do is develop and sell electiric cars.

It's such a shame. Toyota had the first hybrid. And it was good -- I drove a Prius for ten years. They even made a plugin hybrid. They were the leaders. Now they seem to be last in the electric car race. Tragic.

It was really obvious to me as someone who hasn't flown, even. As a layman it was obvious there would be at least a checklist of things you'd try first.

Like to get the engine running again, figure out if there's anywhere close enough to land/ditch safely, radio ATC, etcetera. And he didn't appear surprised or stressed out, he looked like he was expecting it.

Plus having the parachute on in advance, and so many cameras?

But this guy? This guy just pressed triangle and immediately pulled a full on GTA-V move.

I think they should use the Chrome/Firefox numbering system. Every time you put out an update that's big enough for users to be affected, increase the integer by one. It's the most intuitive system to humans.

They lasted less than a year before putting out Wifi 6E

Phenylephrine is 100% fake and it's frustrating it's allowed to be sold

You've never downvoted anything on any website ever?

Oh wow, I just assumed it was made by a guy called Vance.

Don't they provide them for their consumer cards too, just that it's a closed source binary blob?

Don't they provide Linux drivers for their gaming graphics cards too, just not open source?

I'm working on a personal project at the moment that uses a shared C++ core across Android and iOS. (It's an image processing plugin for Unity, no GUI, so cross platform frameworks aren't suitable). It was complicated to setup, but I'm glad I did. Only having to write 99% of the code once is a life saver.

>All a stalker needs to do, is remove the speaker

What am I missing here-- it seems like it would have been trivial for Apple to add a microphone and have the AirTag stop sending location if the speaker isn't working. And have the firmware check the speaker is actually emitting sound, so no amount of physical rewiring can defeat it.

Anyone know why they didn't do this?

Having the Windows button move left and right based on how many programs you have open was an insane, illogical design regression that was only greenlit because of a "copy Apple at all costs" design philosophy

Ever since MacOS broke Gimp I use Photopea regularly! Fantastic site!

This frustrated me so much I've given up on the Mac. Bought a Dell this week. Actually quite excited to dive properly into Linux.

Incredible; I can finally banish Quora and Pinterest forever.
