"there's an expectation that they will get regular updates (in particular security patches.)"
You must have a Cisco SmartNet licensing agreement & the serial numbers have to be registered with them.
Simply owning the hardware hasn't been enough in at least 20 years to even be able to download Cisco IOS updates for routers & switches.
And that's why it won't happen.
But if it did China would not get involved; they'd sit back & wait for the fallout to settle
"Those 32 bites mean there are only 4.3 billion possible IPv4 addresses"
How many if you have an overbite?
"you don't need everyone to apply to enable V2G when they are parked at home, just 50% of the EVs will be helpful"
50% of how many?
Recent peak demand for CA according to CAISO is 24GW or 24 million kW
https://www.caiso.com/TodaysOu...
CA has about 1.8 million EVs registered so asking ~1 million of them to backfeed 24kw each into the grid seems excessive & possible dangerous.
If i had a V2G EV, I wouldn't want it sending more than 5-10 kW upstream but that would still be extremely useful in many scenarios such as peak shaving or load following
"We dont want a hot direct war with Russia. Nukes could fly."
Russia will bluff this all the long day but the truth is they will NOT FUCKING DARE.
The 1st one that hits a Western country is the last one that will ever leave their airspace. They might as well nuke themselves
a lot of it post 1930s likely had to do with the state's embrace of Trofim Lysenko's utter bullshit & the persecution, imprisonment & execution of scientists who opposed his nonsense & refused to reject gene theory
"Still it's nothing compared to Bengal famine"
How do you say "bitch, please do go fuck yourself" in Russian

in fact, do it twice
I'm looking for an excellent explanation of the arguments, merits & flaws of each, hopefully distilled into just a few paragraphs, made as simple as possible but not simpler
"We need sodium batteries for grid storage"
Japanese utilities were using NaS (sodium-sulfur) batteries decades ago.
Why didn't they catch on?
"Which would make things like Tesla power walls incredibly profitable"
V2G would be enormously helpful; I'm still surprised it's not a feature of every EV
"Long-distance HVDC to sell the surplus to other states"
It's been about a dozen years since I 1st heard about the proposed Tres Amigas SuperStation which, for a little while, showed promise of breaking ground.
At one point I even tweeted to Elon Musk & Tesla that they should get in on it but....well....they had other priorities.
he lied about not wanting to annex Crimea, he lied about the "polite people" aka the "Little Green Men" & the purpose of his bullshit "special military operation"
He did it wrong. He burnt rich people's money to get a normal person money. You're supposed to burn normal people's futures to get rich people money.
Exactly right
" Intel say they will be recycling basically 100% of the water they use at their Arizona sites by the end of the decade"
how much have they been recycling up to now?
considering he also posted this comment a couple months ago : https://slashdot.org/comments.... , you can be sure he's not going to read any of those papers
"But what we need to know is, do people want nasally-insertable computers?"
