How much does that weigh, and what volume ? Google says 10 lbs minimum for NMC chemistry. Probably not something you could actually use in cabin except maybe in first.

A 100 Wh battery is very useful if you are recharging a phone or tablet.

On a recent AirAsia flight, not only was charging onboard not allowed, but i was required to remove the battery bank from the overhead compartment, and keep it near my seat. It was a very short flight from Vietnam to Thailand, though, so not a big burden.

I would still fly no matter what type of ground transportation I used, whether ICE, EV or transit. And when the choice is between ICE or EV, there are still massive environmental benefits to local air quality when the number of ICEs locally is reduced. Moving a pollution is a benefit.
I do fly far more miles than I drive, but at least it's always in coach. Almost always long haul, though.

You got me. But i see plenty of largely unused DC fast chargers in many parking lots. These are totally adequate to charge once a week if you drive an average number of miles, such as for commutting or normal errands. Issues may only arise on long road trips on the busiest days of the year. You won't catch me doing that the day before Thanksgiving in any car again, ICE or EV. Actually I find flights to Asia rather cheap and empty during that time of the year, so that's where i usually end up.

I would love to have decent public transit. There are few areas of the US that have it, unfortunately. Also, many areas will remain undeveloped for environmental reasons, and are not going to ever get transit, EV chargers, or even gas pumps. I'm thinking of beaches in my area, for example, which require a car to reach.

Is a bit of an oxymoron.
You can give them all kinds of instructions, such as "never delete files", "never pish to github without my approval". It doesn't matter. They will forget when their contedt runs out. Just like they forget almost every other piece of important data. Like the name of the host it was connecting to for hours before.

You just cannot trust these agents. Everything needs to be locked by default. And you should only whitelist actions that you have a way to check, and revert. In particular, never give root. I wish I could run an agent under chroot, but it becomes useless unfortunately.

To stop unwanted github pushes I stored my tokens in a script owned by root, and manually run sudo to load them in the tetminal. My agent isn't root and can't find out. I still had to revole the tokens it had previously cached. I fear some day it will crawl the web, find a zero day privilege escalation, and get the credentials anyway. Actually, this would be an interesting test - roll back to a vulnerable version of kernel/sudo, and prompt the agent to try to exploit it.
