Yeah, that's also a standard to reduce emissions, because reducing fuel consumption is the way to reduce CO2 emissions.

Bro the leads are like 10ga.
That's not actually how it works. I have a jump starter power back from harbor freight. You know what's in it? A 4S1P LFP pack just exactly like you would have in an RC vehicle of 6th scale or so, or a medium sized drone. They did nothing at all to increase current capacity vs any other pack. The battery just has that capability. Any other pack with that much capacity would be able to deliver the same current
Considering that Valve is working on an arm SteamOS device, the Steam Frame, IÃ(TM)m not sure I can reconcile your statement.
You can't reconcile your browser settings either. Work on that first.
Once Valve puts that device together they will have solved the problem and it... won't be a problem
Something else was very wrong with that user's computer.
Yes, some attacker installed the world's worst spyware on it before they received it.
If your only copy is on the cloud, then you did something very wrong.
OneDrive's UI is confusing and tricks users into having their only copy in the cloud. Is it still dumb of them? Sure. Is it all their fault? Nope. You have to take user stupidity into account.
Both parties want to suck all the profit out of everything.
The most cynical view is that they are intentionally working together in an orchestrated fashion.
But assuming that's not true:
Republicans want to profit from starving children, Democrats want to profit from feeding them
Republicans want to profit from depriving people of health care, Democrats want to profit from helping them have it
Republicans want to profit from wars for oil, Democrats want to profit from renewable energy
Republicans want to profit from destroying education, Democrats want to profit from providing it
Republicans want to profit from prohibiting the dissemination of birth control and related information so as to produce more soldiers for their endless wars, Democrats want to profit from providing birth control and related information so as to reduce costs long term
Are we seeing a pattern here?
Even as SteamOS slowly spreads across the AMD-powered hardware landscape, the OS continues to be limited by a lack of compatibility with the wide world of Arm devices.
Name the ARM-based system that's relevant in PC gaming, justifying this statement. Oh, there isn't one? Oh, AMD's APUs are just as power efficient as an ARM when you take the GPU into account? Oh, the Steam Deck is amd64 based but still has good battery life? Oh.
I'm not an ARM hater, but the idea that lack of ARM compatibility has been affecting Valve is ridiculous.
I only have to fingerprint my way into my phone and then my bank app to have the same info from my bank's credit card using my bank's app on my android phone. It's one more login challenge which BTW Apple users can't do since they took away your fingerprint reader. I could use face unlock but choose not to. I have it on my work iPhone and it mostly works, but then occasionally just refuses to work, and I don't mean because of a timeout or whatever because it tells you about those.
(they don't offer multi-million dollar "liars loans")
They apparently do, because Deutsche Bank did. When it came out that Trump had impersonated an employee of his father and defrauded them into giving him loans, they stopped doing business with him — showing that they were only continuing to do business with him to prevent it from becoming generally known that they are incompetent.
Even if all you do is keep the money in your bank account for that year, you've earned interest on the money (or at least a diminishing portion thereof) over that whole year, so you are better off than if you had paid the money up front.
Unless it's in a HYSA like a money market account, you'll probably make more from the credit card cash back than from sitting on the money. The national average savings rate for savings accounts is 0.39% per the FDIC, but my credit card gives me 1.5% on all purchases. (They actually give me points which I then have to redeem for cash on a bad website, while also offering me a bunch of other shit for points, none of which is worth as much as just taking the cash. But whatever.)
No. In the USA even the very strictest inspection regimes are basically "is anything falling off" and they don't do real stuff like test your headlight aim or brake fluid boiling point. MOST people don't have any inspection requirements except emissions testing, and some states don't even do that.
Here in California for example we have no safety testing, and a number of remote counties don't have to do regular emissions testing — only on transfer to a non-family-member, except for heavy diesel RVs which CARB has just mandated testing for. And yet, despite our bus-to-RV weighing 10 tons empty, absolutely no safety inspection is required. California doesn't care about safety, just revenues.
DRL can be implemented in two different ways. Long story short, when they do it with the headlights it's good, when they don't it's bad.
Headlights aren't too bright, they're too point-sourced. Specifically, some LED lights (without a diffuser) and all projector lights have bright spots which are the real problem, not the overall brightness.
I put Beamtech LED capsules in my Versa. It has old cloudy headlights so there's no bright points, but there wouldn't be anyway because they are a classic reflector design and these capsules actually put the light in the right position — IF you clock them correctly. These specific lights work with at least a couple different standards and one of them is clocked 180 degrees out from another, and if you have it wrong then the light winds up going up in people's faces.
Finally, MY biggest headlight problem is with pickup trucks with misaimed headlights. A lot of people put a "leveling lift" on their pickups to raise the front to match the back. Then when they put literally anything in the back, the front is higher and their headlights are right in your eyes. Since I don't drive an ultra tall vehicle, it's a problem.
Not even remotely true if we succeed in reducing the CAFE standards that have fucked consumer choice and automotive reliability for decades now.
All of the automakers were ready, willing, and able to meet the emissions regulations well ahead of schedule, and the average vehicle is not made unreliable by the emissions systems. In fact, it is more efficient and gets better mileage because the best way to meet the targets is with more complete combustion.
The only exception, and I mean this, is DPF for diesels. This is a garbage technology which should never have been employed. Even DEF is a positive thing (it virtually eliminates NOx in diesel exhaust) though the systems are generally shit. But that's not the DEF's fault, it's the automakers' fault. DPF means finer soot and more CO2 emissions in exchange for burning up the large soot particles so the diesels don't look like they are polluting.
