Promises are like shit: everybody makes them and most stink badly.

As long as they talk slick, sound authoritative and sycophantic, and more importantly cost less than human labor, companies will replace human by mediocre AI.

Because capitalism is a race to the bottom.

If it does that, there is a problem. It should never, ever go over 12.65+2=14.65v. That's how electrolyte gets cooked off.

The person I replied to did so.

Yes, in fact it is a reason to avoid dropping it in anywhere that a flooded battery is used without knowing what you're doing, and I've explained why.

Let us know when you get your A6 or equivalent.

You are a coward, and since I'm not, if I were a homosexual, you would know. I mean, you'd know mostly because I was fucking your dad, but you'd know.

I know this is going to offend, but you do realize that PEX offers a superior result in several regards, right? You can reduce right angles, improving flow. It's far more freeze resistant. It's cheaper to replace when you do have freeze damage — join the old PEX with the new PEX and you can push-pull the new stuff into place if it was installed worth a damn to begin with. The only part I don't like is when people do use crimp bands, those are stupid. Push-fit connectors or Flair-It are far superior as they have much better freeze resistance.

That depends on your welding skill. A lot of artworks can hide welds, and most art isn't under as much stress as other stuff that gets welded, so you can make art with shitty welds that won't get you hired.

*Every* version of iOS including the new one doesn't have an integrated recovery system, you STILL need another device to do a recovery on an iPhone. They have just changed it from needing a Mac or PC to needing a Mac, PC, or iPad.

Right now they're too busy trafficking people who have just shown up for their immigration hearing appointments for that.

On one hand, I agree with you. That's how it should work. On the other hand, that ship has sailed. You forgot about PRISM and other unconstitutional citizen spying programs already, huh? Maybe pay attention.

On the gripping hand, this is the court telling them not to delete data because they expect to get a warrant to look at it, so maybe you don't need that onion on your belt after all.

OpenZFS works fine on Linux. That it's not in the kernel tree is not a practical problem. I can build both the kernel and OpenZFS myself any time I want.

That is fundamentally wrong. First of all, both Unix and Windows are used as both workstations and servers, so it's obviously wrong. Second, and slightly less obviously but you're still wrong, you want this functionality on both desktops and servers.

You're not selling it. You're saying that their system is so deficient that they have to have it be deficient in another way.

Uptime? Yeah, we already know Microsoft doesn't care about that. Windows has detected you have moved the mouse, reboot required.

You're not only whining right now, you're specifically whining in incel.

Lutris does the same thing on Linux.

This isn't true for multiple reasons. First and most importantly, full charge on a 4-cell LFP is 3.6 volts. That means full charge on a nominal 12V LFP is 14.4V. Charging voltage is therefore 14.6V or 14.8V and the details are handled by the BMS. Maximum charging current is also far higher than a six-cell flooded battery, which is fully charged at 12.6V, and where maximum safe charging voltage is about 2V over the current battery voltage. (Yes, some chargers do significantly more voltage — this is bad when done without per-cell temperature sensing which nobody does.) A flooded battery limits current, and charging systems take this into account. Dropping in a LFP might be fine, or it might cause the smoke to come out, and you have to understand the system to know which. Most alternators will burn themselves up, or at best, burn out the fusible link. On some vehicles that's easily replaced, but on most it's a harness repair. You cannot even reasonably charge lithium batteries with all solar controllers designed for flooded cells. Some of them are cheaply made enough that they will again burn themselves up, even cheaper MPPT units though it's mostly just PWM models.

Lithium batteries are great, but you cannot just drop them in to many applications. In others they will work OK, though most "intelligent" battery chargers not designed for them will only charge them to 80%, or will charge to 100% but charging slows to a trickle around 80%, because the charging voltage is incorrect.

Email, chat, post, and websurf like it will be used against you... whether read aloud in court, used to deny insurance, loans, and jobs, or fed to AI to make the case that you're likely to commit crimes and need to be pre-emptively locked up.
