kWh battery. Knew I'd miss that at some point.

Okay, that's amazing.

Here (Australia, all AUD) I pay 28 cents per kWh and get paid 5 cents per kWh. I have 12kW solar which was great when they paid 12cents, but now it's not so I got a 30kW battery and it's paying for itself pretty quickly. Battery was $6k AUD installed.

For at least a year (maybe more) I thought that it was go-dot, kind of a play on dotnet. Especially with the work on adding c# support.

I so dumb!

I can't find any reference to this. Not saying it hasn't happened, I just don't see it on the internet. A link would be useful.

I've had Linux kill a motherboard (would boot, but fans and sensors didn't work so it would overheat and crash pretty quickly) setting up lm_sensors.

No, of course a broken spar is A Very Bad Thing when it happens in midair.

Is this changing-the-timing-chains-in-an-Audi difficult, or is this replacing-your-spinal-cord-without-killing-you impossible?

Are these planes repairable? I think it's a reasonable question.

(Of course, with the Audi, if has anything more than a loose gas cap it's not economically feasible to repair, but that's what you get with European engineering.)

Wait, no electric windows? That's not a luxury feature since the late 90s.

I like the idea of this (here in Australia there's no inexpensive EV utes), but that's a step too far.

...and nothing of value was lost.

A bit like the ship of thesus

75% is pretty close to a monopoly

I hate snap, but for an average computer user (not Linux enthusiast) there is nothing wrong with it. Steam was an issue for a while but that's been resolved.

Garbage regulations like IP create these behemoths. If you want freedom, stop regulating monopolies into existence.

Statism creates billionaires.

That parts gonna happen anyway.

Even if battery energy density started getting close to that of liquid hydrocarbons, and thats a looong way off still, youd still need more batteries than you would fuel because batteries dont get lighter as they discharge like burned fuel does, rocket equation stuff. A 747 carries ~150k kilograms of fuel, if that didnt burn off thats an extra 37k kg the first quarter of the flight, an extra 75k kg the first half of the flight and so on...

Battery planes may never make widespread sense, if we ever start generating enough carbon free energy cheaply enough and even if all ground transport goes battery electric or whatever, at some point it might still be worth it to just make carbon neutral jet fuel with air fuel synthesis. That seems closer on the horizon than the battery tech needed for large planes to be feasible, hard to beat jet turbines for that application.
