Jokes aside, some kind of pack-swapping machine is probably the way to go.
Forklifts have counterweights so they can lift heavy things without tipping. I think the battery pack could double as a counterweight, getting a benefit from the weight. And then there's the energy efficiency and less danger of fiery death.
Given all the disadvantages of hydrogen, I have to wonder whether a battery swapping solution might not be better.
Battery swapping has problems as a general solution for transportation, but for forklifts in a warehouse it should work pretty well.
I read the article and what jumps out at me is that Amazon is buying hydrogen forklifts from a company. So at least they are going with an off-the-shelf solution that they have already tried and is known to work. The only real news is that they are getting their own hydrogen production to avoid buying the hydrogen.
But if I ran Amazon, I would have someone looking into LFP battery forklifts with a fast battery swap station.
No car company founded after Ford survived. Until Tesla.
Yes, Tesla relied on some government money to survive until they got the Model 3 into successful mass production and became profitable. You love government, so you should be trumpeting Tesla as a success story. "Look! Government works!"
Instead you are posting angry rants. You need to go touch grass or something.
Elon Musk is definitely guilty of repeatedly being over-optimistic about ship dates. But he has an excellent record of delivering what he promised... eventually. As he joked: "At Tesla, we make the impossible late."
This is different from Trevor Milton, who just made stuff up. He told people that Nikola had a working gadget making hydrogen on their roof, when they didn't have any such thing. He said they had a working truck, but it only worked to roll downhill. He straight-up lied to investors.
As for range: even a 2012 Tesla Model S had an energy use graph that showed exactly how much power the car actually used and how far it would go based on that. And Tesla cars have better range than their competition, except for the breathtakingly expensive Lucid Air. The EPA estimated range of a Tesla might be unrealistic but all the EV makers use the same formulas to calculate their EPA ranges. If you want to claim Tesla is dishonest, cough up some evidence to support your position or shut up.
As for SpaceX: if Musk is such an idiot, why is there no other company in the world, even now, that can come close to reusing rockets? Did Musk just get lucky somehow?
Tesla has the best EVs in the world. SpaceX has the best rocket technology in the world. Surprising that an idiot loser just got lucky twice like that.
As for GM, compute the Altman Z score of GM and Tesla and see which one looks more likely to go bankrupt soon.
I've thought about the Blinkenlights 7/10 scale emulator, tha uses an RPi, but I envy you and hope you have fun.
The article refers to the device as a "robot" but I hope here on Slashdot we can use the correct technology. This is clearly a "mecha":
They're "pivoting" to mixed reality, interestingly only after having their balls handed to them by a _pre release demo_
I'm pretty sure that they must have worked on Quest 3 for years before releasing it. They didn't have enough time to watch the Apple demo and then change their product design.
There are companies who do "pay for play" Samba development. You pay 'em and tell them what you want in Samba, and they'll write it and upstream it for you.
Might be more than you want to pay though.
Samba does implement DFS, I wrote lots of the code for it and updated it recently
I think you mean it doesn't implement DFS replication in the same way that Windows does.
Samba is only configured one way, via the smb.conf file.
Runtime control can be done via smbcontrol, but the base config file is always smb.conf.
When using local uses passwords *must* be separate as the SMB protocol and Linux passwords use completely different crypto.
Of course if you want synchronised passwords just add the Linux machine into the Active Directory Domain using Samba's winbind and users and passwords are identical of course.
Samba with an the iouring backend is as performant as an in-kernel version.
See Metze's talk this week at SNIA SDC 2023 in Freemont, CA. for details:
This is completely incorrect.
Microsoft do not concern themselves with what SMB versions Samba supports when considering maintenance. At all.
As it should be IMHO. We match current versions of Windows and only keep SMB1 around in an "off-by-default" state for customers who can't or won't update old Windows / DOS clients.
