Yeah, doesn’t the dude consider Batman his true identity and Bruce Wayne the costume?

How did you feel about the L3 charging rate? 50kW isn’t super fast.

I just want an EV company to make the equivalent of a shitty Toyota Prius.

Yeah, but he’s right about that part. Hybrid cars are just BEVs with more steps that can’t be recharged at home. Maybe useful for planes and other specific applications. Dumb for cars.

If you want to spite this guy, ride a bus.

Huh. Didn’t know TiVo was still around.

We use a Tabo at home. Like TiVo, but primarily for network access from phones/media streamers. Has a similar lifetime subscription too.

You could even use one from the 1940s if you want!

Assuming your tuner was manufactured later than around 2005 and supports ATSC digital broadcasts. Also makes me wonder when you got your TiVo. I thought they were dead long before everything went digital.

What a coincidence that the best broadcaster who ever lived or will ever live happened to be alive in time for us to record him and immortalize his voice to use for generations to come.

That’s why we’re doing this, right? Because there’s no other human alive who is capable of reading a script as well?

Yeah, mine can boil a liter of water in 101 seconds at 450ft altitude.

I had a unique opportunity to directly compare my infrared cooktop (which I mislabeled as resistive) and my new induction cook top, so I did a little experiment to compare them: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cooking/comments/seaint/for_anyone_contemplating_upgrading_from_an/

TLDR: It boiled water in half the time using roughly half as much energy. Part of that may be due to the test pot being smaller than the burner, but this was the case for both stoves. It’s just the induction doesn’t heat the space around the pot.

Handling a pet peeve of mine. 3 seconds into the video, he talks about induction stovetops and shows a picture of a glass top radiant stove.

Radiant stoves are just slightly better than electric resistive stoves. They are not induction though they can look similar. People try them and hate them and assume induction is terrible when it isn’t.

Not an Elon fan, but this kind of story hurts the public perception of EVs which bothers me.

This is not unique to Teslas or even EVs.

You can get stuck in a stock Corvette since 2005

That was after 3 seconds of googling. There are plenty of cars that are difficult to escape or enter with a dead battery. Some consider electronic door controls as a luxury feature. They will fail to function with no power. Hate them if you like.

For Teslas in particular, there is a mechanical latch for the doors on the inside. Learn where they are. On the outside, there are terminals near the tow hook that when given 9V will pop the frunk. Then you can access the 12V battery to jump it.

Something something book by its title.

If you are really super deep into the ecosystem and the AR pass through is that good, then I can see it working. On Oculus, I often find myself peering through the gap by my nose to see whatever notification or whatnot on my phone. Apple Vision can fix that.

Though you still have to contend with the comfort factor. It’s a lot to wear on your face when you’re supposed to be casually enjoying content for hours at a time. Heaven forbid you care about how your hair looks.

Color scheme and layout reminds me of Machinarium.

Wasn’t there a bounty out like 10 years ago for writing an open source alternative to the video drivers? I remember reading about that.

Took a looong time, but I eventually got mine. I think it might have even been more than a month. They are certainly in no rush.

Issue is that if I remember correctly the vive was an outside-in concept that required base stations to be setup

But that wasn’t the complaint levied. They were literally complaining about needing to walk around.

And for many of that it is just fine to sit on a couch and still have a benefit from the technology.

But everyone knows the people watching at home on traditional 2D TV get the best view. Zooms on the players/performers, slow-mo recap, etc. I can’t imagine the nausea of having your entire field of view warped across the court to see every special angle. Not to mention, until whatever VR app has a plug in for every thing you’d want to do on your phone while you’re watching the game, you’re stuck paying 100% of your attention to the sport.

Hell, even the people at the concert or sporting event spend half their time on their phone.
