In industry group does not need to own a term for it to be defined.
Some company's fucking marketing blog attempting to muddy the waters to paint themselves in a better light doesn't lend any weight to your argument whatsoever.

Comment Re:Israel (Score 2) 107

Funny that to you, "Israel" and "Jews" are synonymous. As if all Jewish people unconditionally support all actions of the state of Israel, even those which are highly controversial within Israel itself.

This false synonymy creates an extremely harmful backlash. Stop doing it.

Operative word there is "if". Several studies have shown that the majority of PHEV owners don't bother plugging them in, which in turn means that they're now just driving around in less-efficient HEVs.

It also looks as if Toyota has been caught lying about PHEV efficiencies, under-estimating their emissions by over 400%.

Citation?

If I lived in an apartment with no charging infrastructure and the need to recharge every 50k then that may be the case.

But if I use at home for commuting? I suspect I wouldn't have an issue plugging it in every couple of days and never worrying about the gas station.

Most phones these days use OLED screens. No backlight.
They have an interesting power dynamic.
They're less efficient when displaying high brightness (because more discretes will always have higher overhead than less), but far more efficient when displaying low brightness, since they're not fighting backlight loss, they can run those fuckers at uamps.
OLED screens have had always-on functionality for a long time now. Samsungs back in the early 2010s is I think where I first saw it. My Apple Watch OLED is always-on.

The Next Greatest tech will presumably solve the OLED problem of lifetime.
Organic molecules degrade too quickly. That hasn't been a huge problem in the mobile space (I've yet to run into a burnt in mobile display) but it's a hypothetical one for sure.

Also the term "MicroLED" has no actual meaning, years ago they were just calling it "miniLED".

This part is incorrect.
miniLED refers to small backlight LEDs (so that you have have literally thousands of local dimming zones)
microLED refers to small individual LEDs (no backlight)
It's been this way for over a decade.

It *is* strange.
What does "settings" even imply in this context?
Why the weird part about them accidentally testing with x86 binaries? (assumed, since the "fix" was to use Arm native)
How on FSM's green earth do these people consider themselves qualified to evaluate what is "possible" for some set of "settings" on a new piece of silicon?

This article was a pile of shit. Even if it ends up being completely accurate- the article is still a flaming pile of shit.

I know you were. That's why I said that they have working rockets, and nuclear warheads are far simpler devices.
Russia has demonstrated current development of advanced technology (including tactically deployed hypersonics), as well as a very cool Gen4 fighter jet.
This means it's unlikely that the technology to keep the warheads working (which really comes down to one thing- replacing them once they're past their expiration date) has been lost by them. It's further unlikely that they have let their nuclear deterrent turn into a bunch of fizzle/dirty bombs (though that's still plenty terrifying)

Russia has a lot of problems related to its cronyism. Keeping its weaponry functional hasn't been one of them. Production capability is obviously greatly limited (evidenced by the fact that they don't have hundreds of Su57s) but the ones they have are stellar.
