Comment Re:Compete on product, not politics (Score 1) 238

yes, in theory but Chinese gov gave them money to dev EV car for the Chinese market and sell at discount oversea. If this kill the market then they increase price, I would not consider it fair. But nonetheless, they are now innovating very fast as they have a big domestic market and Chinese gov went all in with EV. EV cars are de facto simpler and cheaper to build and then require less maintenance. What we start to see in EU is local manufacturer are buying technology or components directly in China to build, tune/test market and sell their own cars. It may (or not) change as local industry is trying to catch up and innovate also. The manufacturing itself can be local or not (as they pay lots of taxes to import from China) but it doesnt change the fact they are ahead at the moment especially in term of batteries.

Comment Re:But EVs make more pollution anyway so this (Score 1) 144

This one is new and so wrong that it can only exist in a forum discussion. So EV do pollute much much less than thermic vehicules and yes the remaining parts are from tires but this is being worked on, EU started measuring this a few years ago asked the vendors to progressively improve on tires (for every car including EVs). Hopefully it will also help other outside EU reduce car pollution and improve healthness.

Comment Re:Not for long. (Score 1) 144

Yes, completely agree, it is easy to charge a EV off peak hours so there is no shortage of electricity in all cases (and TCO is much better in general) . Fuel cost is increasing but also if the situation continue, there could be places (depending on where you live) with regular fuel shortage or with restrictions on how much you can buy.

may be, but if situation stay too long, all the rest of manufacturing will be halted anyway so we'll be staying with whatever hardware we have today as it will make all the parts goes up. And it is impacting lots of consumer thing. Let's hope there is solution found because the same who dont want to invest adding capacity are also selling other things which will be impacted so they may not want to keep the situation forever....

it is a big pain, tons of video with a subject made so you clic and that just contain a mix of correct and incorrect informations (and which dont clearly say it is AI generated)
and youtube report button doesnt even have a AI generated/clicbate choice
if they dont act on it, it will kill human content creators as they disappear among those videos and they will not earn enough money to create real content.

Comment Sodium - Ion for cars probably not in 2026 (Score 1) 61

it doenst seem first usage for these new batteries will be cars. They need to sell and test on other things like storage to prove it is safe on the long term. And it is much easier to deploy than on cars. It is probably more around 2030 for cars.

Comment screwed process (Score 1) 97

This process is completely flawed. How come the studio that are supposed to promote their artists can be so stupid to strike their promotions. And even strike a podcast with no music....And it is even worse than that as I have seen some youtubers complain they had authorization to use a music then the artist later sell their music to one of the big one and they are being removed their oldest videos which were perfectly legal....

One of the issue with Paris is that buildings are very badly isolated. Adding AC without doing proper isolation is inefficient. Doing real building transformation cost a lot and is very very slowly being made as he need to be agreed at the building level and done with respect of Paris architecture.

Comment powerfull than switch 1 so easier to dev ? (Score 1) 27

I dont get their argument except as trying to justify price increases to shareholders. As the console is more powerfull and more closer to the rest of market, developers will have to spend less time on tweaking to fit on undersize hardware as they had to do on switch1. So this should be easier, not to say a dev a game is a easy thing. Hope these saving are spent to dev better games.
