My only question is why the state isn't proactively identify and deactivating such devices. Seriously, if your shitty device is a threat then I see no reason that it cannot also be forcibly taken offline. People will not give a damn about security no matter how much you implore them (they haven't for decades), so it's time for the stick.

That's a funny way of explaining that they neglected to implement proper security measures and backup measures for decades.

This is ultimately what wishful thinking and downplaying the importance of cybersecurity gets you.

It's a state-owned company. Have you forgotten what's still going on in China? In the Xinjiang region, over a million Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities have been in "vocational education and training centers" since 2017. If you think that carrying out a genocide doesn't make you an asshole then you are an asshole.

Why are people so hung up on using typescript instead of using a compiled language? If you want speed then using a compiled language is the only way to go.

That's a listed "goal", not something they have done. Do you have information claiming they have built their own power generation systems?

Finally, some truth from you. You don't understand the issue. Batteries heat up during discharge.

It is not cross-API compatible because it is an API. It's implemented on multiple platforms and it's only supported on platforms it's implemented for.

Also, you seem to be forgetting there are a lot of API specific functions functions: e.g. vkCreateWaylandSurfaceKHR, vkCreateWin32SurfaceKHR, vkCreateXcbSurfaceKHR, vkCreateXlibSurfaceKHR.

ICE can randomly break while you're driving for no reason. That's how mechanical system work: they do until they don't.

Why would you think that a discharging battery would be anything but warm? Do you not know that batteries put off heat when discharging?

For spite, obviously.

The problem is improperly managed (damage/overcharge/etc) cells self-inflate to become what what the internet refers to as a spicy pillow. If they have eliminated the possibility of creating a spicy pillow then I have overstated the danger. However, so long as battery damage results in thermal runaway that causes a total carbecue then it they need to keep pushing toward making it entirely solid-state. ICE has a higher chance of carbecues but facts be damned, people are sufficiently stupid to hold onto that concern.

When a battery can be damaged without presenting a damage to the car then the battery is sufficiently safe.

What you are describing is how ICE fails not how that is not EVs fail. Honestly, you just made an argument against using ICE.

If we're being honest, this is what has driven software adoption within businesses.

His name is Edward Snowden.

FTFA (minor clarification be me):

I think it's fantastic that they are reducing the amount of hot sauce they are putting in batteries but I think they need to push until they completely eliminate it.

A slow burn is better but no-burn is best.

In that context, yes, both types of cars can drive for the normal lifetime of a car. By this attribute, an EV the better economic choice. Should your car make it beyond the lifetime of the battery pack, it will be more economical to replace the battery pack rather than utilize an ICE car that you have maintained.
