4 ports is pretty average for a laptop. A lot have fewer.
My work laptop only had 4 USB ports too. 2 USB A, 2 USB-C, HDMI, power, and a headphone jack. There isn't a lot of room on laptops these days.

Before USB-C was a thing, you'd be lucky to get more than 2 USB ports. Physical space is the issue here.

The 12V battery can't power the heat pump compressor to heat the battery.

It's cool how your anecdotal account is different to this controlled study.

20% average drop for the 20 most popular models, where they all have built in battery heaters.

The rest of the article is about the cheap vehicles being sold without battery heating.

A 2020 Model 3 has 65% capacity at 15F outside temperature, according to the linked study. In 2021 they replaced the resistive heating with a heat pump, so it only goes down to 67% range.

Ideal temperature is 68 - 74F

The "worst" in their top 20 is the VW ID.4, with 63% capacity at 32F

I wouldn't be surprise if cheap vehicles without battery heating are completely unusable below freezing. You cannot charge a lithium battery without damage below 32F, so no regen braking.
If the battery drops to 0F, you can't even use it to heat itself as the electrolyte starts to freeze. That alone can permanently damage the battery.

We're not engineers.
We're software developers.
Unless they're only surveying engineers who happen to also code?

But not if you want to do something that allows you to profit off of your own data, and especially not if you get help from someone else to do it.

Quercus alba - white oak - ya fucking loon. It's the shape of the leaf.

Stupid? More than double the revenue per customer with only 35% loss of customers?

That's more revenue and even more profit.

Seems to be working out very well for them.

Consumers don't choose the drugs they're prescribed. Qualified, licensed, medical professionals do.

People should be going to their doctor and describing their symptoms. The doctor diagnoses the cause and prescribes something relevant to help with the root issue.

It seems entirely broken that this happens the other way around, where people ask their doctor for a specific drug.

The consumer advertising limit should be zero.

It would sure suck to be fucked off in some nutcase's mass shooting with no access to my phone to report out or tell my mother I love her one last time. It's not 1955. The society you mentioned has changed. There's got to be a better solution to this. Maybe we should lock up some of the guns in steel pouches?

Firefox can spawn multiple processes to run groups of tabs. The browser as a whole isn't limited to 4GB of address space when compiled as 32 bit.

Solar cells can be made to be sensitive to different wavelengths of light.

Crystalline silicon panels are better for sunlight, while other semiconductors and amorphous silicon are better for broad spectrum and higher wavelengths, although overall are less efficient.

There are only two patients here, each has the backing of an entire country.

They're also not afraid of non-ethical research.
