the cost of the equipment is not what businesses are paying for in the cloud.

consumers are much different, but there are successful cloud pc services that have pricing oriented to consumers. The entire cloud gaming industry, for instance. Some of them like Shadow encourage and provide for the use of the system as a regular cloud PC. There is a value prop, but it does require a massively great Internet connection, which is where it honestly falls completely apart. Consumer ISP's are nowhere near delivering quality of service sufficient for this product.

Nonlinear accoustics is a thing; there's not technically an upper limit for the amount of energy you can drive a transducer with though I would assume it would be extremely difficult to couple enough energy through to cause any real damage. I know personally that it can sound quite loud https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

I also have little confidence this sort of thing is involved here; Occam's razor says it's a big nothing burger so I'm gonna stick with that until someone brings something concrete forward

Yeah how much is it gonna cost? BMW already make you buy a subscription just to get "connected charging" where you can see and control your charge session from your phone. Bet you anything if you want V2L/V2H you will have to be paying. I was a very loyal BMW customer until about 10 years ago. It's a total clown show today.

Executive orders are just supposed to be the President defining how the rest of the executive branch is supposed to carry out the laws created in the legislature.

For whatever reason, the compliant legislature and judiciary have decided that he can do whatever he wants. We thought the rules would save us, but that depends on the powerful having the will to enforce them.

Every time they talk about this damn thing it's a different size and works by a different mechanism. Explanations given vary from this magnetic field mumbo jumbo to essentially just being a near perfect dead reckoning integrator.

Anyone have links to any actual papers or journalism on the subject that hasnt been oversimplified to the point where it is just nonsense?
