Comment Re:Climate destroyers claim they are the good guys (Score 1) 202

I've spent time in the US and Europe, but live in Australia.

These comments about messing up their strategy are kind of weird. BMW has had electric cars (i3, i8) for longer than most automakers - low volume I know. They are up to their 6th gen of all electric drive train though, and just announced the first of the Neau Klasse architecture machines, the all new iX3.

https://www.bmw.com/en-au/mode...

800V architecture, 800+km range, 372km can be added with a 10min charge, sub five second 0-100km/hr (60mph) in a traditional (but kinda ugly) SUV.

I see lots of pure electric BMWs here... I've got a big 3l diesel X3 and the older gen iX3... I know which one I prefer driving, even for road trips (shame it can't tow the camper yet, but that new one probably would!).

Tell you what. Install Wallet of Satoshi on your phonw, publish your lightning address here and I'll send you a few sats worth of Bitcoin.

I don't know you and I live in a different country and nobody can stop me...

I can also buy groceries at the local supermarket in the same cheap and fast way.

Comment My biggest mistake (Score 1) 300

I should have seen that 2010 article (probably did) and looked into this interesting new technology. But, like most of you, I shrugged my shoulders and thought people putting money into it were crazy.

After several boom and (almost) bust cycles I finally realized there was something important going on, did my research and bought some.

Long story short: My retirement is going to be several times more comfortable than I expected and most of the Slashdotters that are left behind are salty as hell that they missed the start of a revolution.

We should've figured it out earlier, guys, but it's not too late.

Comment Not really surprising (Score 1) 130

When our son's school switched to tablet based learning 10 years ago we immediately moved him to another school.

Other parents thought we were crazy. I figured it was an insane experiment with an unknown outcome that would affect my children (I also had a pre-schooler) during a critical phase of their education.

Safe to say, I'm glad we decided to switch back to a more conservative school.

Comment Re:robot vacuums don't NEED mapping (Score 1) 24

The current ones that map are so much better than the older roombas. Totally agree their suction is lower and âoespeedâ doesnâ(TM)t matter as much, but a map is really useful.

It allows you to tell it what rooms / areas to vacuum if you only want parts done. It updates based on wherever your dog is sleep or your kids drop their shoes are just works around that. It is super satisfying if you have OCD to literally see the perfect track marks in the carpet that shows itâ(TM)s done every inch. You can also set it (at least ecovacs) to go over each area twice in a single âoerunâ.

Picks up where it finishes if it ever needs to recharge etc. etc.
