bratcomplex··on Serious privacy/security concerns raised about Portpass vaccine verification app
Down voted,really? explain
bratcomplex··on Slow Teslas everywhere: 24 hours into ‘the FSD button’
Yikes. sounds like they’re model, in this case, for what is “safe driving” is too simplistic. driving like granny and pissing everyone one else around you off, most likely, makes for a less safe environment. road-rage is a thing.

but this leads to another thought.. if Tesla has this data stack and, and lets say your a current non Tesla user, road-raging pass a granny Tesla driver. Tesla probably could pick up your plates and other forms of identification and label you as not so safe. Some data sharing later, Your insurance rates go up. or rather when when you decide to buy a Tesla, you already have a bad score.

bratcomplex··on Serious privacy/security concerns raised about Portpass vaccine verification app
This is getting more hilarious by the minute. -the modern tech sector is a big scam at this point. -the personal data silos is archaic, and most of the time kyc isn’t necessary.

-the idea of proof of vaccination seems like a bad idea in that the ease of creating a faked proof has much much larger Societal consequences compared to a fake id a teenager uses to get booze.

I think I’m in Favour of the idea, that if your not interested in personal vaccination, certain areas have restricted access. for the sake of human... economic... protection.

bratcomplex··on Amazon’s AI cameras are punishing drivers for mistakes they didn’t make
the rate at which Amazon is burning through workforce vs it’s rate of automation is starting to look like the balance is diverging fast. They’ll collapse before they automate
bratcomplex··on Big tech’s pro-climate rhetoric is not matched by policy action, report finds
once it’s out out the ground it’s life cycle is nearly infinite(in our time frame reference) and isn’t single use. Battery’s have a very very long lifecycle befor turned back into new batteries. And it’s more efficient to burn fossil fuels in a power plant to power a ev than it is to burn them directly in a vehicle.

but yes self driving space is scam

bratcomplex··on Want to save the earth then don’t buy that shiny new iPhone
Still rockin the original iPhone se. I’ve shown friends/others, with a little patients, replacing a screen/battery/port is fairly simple and cheap. the “new” feeling, and the feeling that you “cheated” the system wash over you... it’s great
bratcomplex··on GM tells some Bolt owners to park 50 feet away from other cars
Batteries are to the same degree. if you really wanted to, you could take a bunch of liquid cooled Tesla modules and fit them in a old leaf, when it’s batteries degrade.
bratcomplex··on California aims to ban recycling symbols on things that aren’t recyclable
Gasification, using it as a fuel makes more sense. Reducing it down to basic carbon constituents. At least in this forum it’s productive and photosynthesis can turn it into organic mater.
bratcomplex··on Bitcoin mining consumes 0.5% of all electricity used globally and 7x Google's
and? few questions I have - how much energy is consumed from Christmas lights each year? Or idling home devices? (Phones,TVs, speakers, chargers, etc) we don’t talk about these numbers. -how much of btc’s energy consumption is “high commodity/demand” energy? Opposed to say energy from a remote hydro electricity plant that has a small or infrequent demand? - what price changes that dichotomy between unused vs used electricity?

we need to use less energy all around, and use the energy we produce more efficiently. the grid is use it or loose it. So what is btc’s real energy impact?

bratcomplex··on FDA Approves First Covid-19 Vaccine
This this a Bifurcation of the issue. lumping people whom; have a cation bias, are alt medicine nuts, classic anti vaxers, etc, together shuts down discourse and divides people.
bratcomplex··on Bigger vehicles are directly resulting in more deaths of people walking
150 from f150 refers to its carting and load capacity.. not its actual weight. the weight difference between a 150,250,350 is not a very significant one.

This issue is a 150 is being used outside its original use case. And dose the job a Corolla is intended for. But with twice the weight and size.

bratcomplex··on GM expands recall to ALL 2017-2022 Chevy Bolt EVs including EUV, blames LG
this is bad. I really hope this doesn’t effect the rate of ev adoption(excluding gm’s contributions). karma’s a bitch!

Based on my limited knowledge of the severity of the anode defect, there is a possible use for grid storage, keeping the power draw requirements low, they should be fine. But More so interested in what is actually going to happen with all these packs... they definitely will show up on open market...
bratcomplex··on Just how hard is it to recycle a jumbo jet?
a friend of mine works for a airline logistics company. Since the begging of the pandemic they have been frantically stripping the interiors of passenger jets...Turning them into cargo carriers.
bratcomplex··on Tesla plans to open its charging network to other EVs later this year
ac charging “infrastructure” is merely a plug + a fancy breaker switch. It’s cheap and simple. ac is abundant, so adding a plug is easy. Dc on the other hand requires lots of hardware.
bratcomplex··on What ‘regulatory credits’ are – and why they’re so important to Tesla
with the market increasing its ability meet the credit requirements, will we see the requirements increase? Or evolve deeper into the supply chain?
bratcomplex··on El Salvador passes its Bitcoin Law – and it's a Tether scam
Um what? Confusing the lightning network with a tether trading platform?
bratcomplex··on Tesla is found guilty of throttling charging speed
Is it tho? Battery degradation is a big problem. if your supper charging and doing 0-60 launches often your battery is going to go to shit.
bratcomplex··on Tesla is found guilty of throttling charging speed
I’m with you on this. The ev convention scene provides just that!
bratcomplex··on 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning
Funny, I’m building just that! https://www.instagram.com/bratindustries/
bratcomplex··on Drinking any amount of alcohol causes damage to the brain, study finds
NAC! don’t drink much any more but when I do, pre drink I take some nac.

bratcomplex··on Tesla Autopilot system was on during fatal California crash, more safety concern
account for driving location + demographic and we should have a pretty clear answer
bratcomplex··on Co-founder of Neuralink leaves the company
they set standards for what a street, road, and highway are. and they do not mix them. As a result they are safer, cheaper, and land use has a higher tax revenue.

bratcomplex··on Food waste responsible for 10% of global emissions?
definitely, tomatoes shipped from Mexico in some cases require less energy than green house grow in Quebec.

what’s more efficient? not eating tomatoes in Quebec.

bratcomplex··on Food waste responsible for 10% of global emissions?
It’s worth moving back to trains. trucking took over partly because it removed the infrastructure problem from the truck company. Which left it to governments to (not in some cases) maintain. trains are way more predictable too.
bratcomplex··on Food waste responsible for 10% of global emissions?
-take what you need. Need more? get more.

-eat within growing seasons. bananas in Greenland have a much larger distance to travel, loss of stock increases.

-aesthetics, a wonky looking apple is less likely to make it into the grocery store(even if taste and nutritional value is no different)

bratcomplex··on Food waste responsible for 10% of global emissions?
“ Even food that is well & truly wasted isn't really contributing all of its carbon or the emissions released to grow it back into the atmosphere because carbon is actually sequestered in the food itself, the same way and for the same reasons that planting new trees sequesters carbon.”

other than the cost of transportation and storage. the the decomposition phase, which produces quite a lot of greenhouse gases.

bratcomplex··on EMA finds possible link for AstraZeneca and rare cases of blood clots, platelets
Got any links?

bratcomplex··on Boston Dynamics unveils Stretch, a robot designed to move boxes in warehouses
Yes. Definitely. autonomous flying air craft are not new. much easier compared to anything moving on the ground. object and path detections is arguably less likely to fail being less contact with terrain.
