Once EVs are produced in the same volumes as combustion cars today then the price for an EV will be the same, and probably lower as EV cars are much simpler and contain less components. Right now there is probably also some markup added just because the manufacturer can charge more for an EV (status, more demand than production capacity etc).
The charging time will likely also go down further which could allow for the batteries to become smaller for most use cases and thus the price come down even more.
And on top of that, if energy prices continue to stay high, the SUV/Truck era might slowly die away and smaller/lighter/aerodynamic cars with better mileage will become the norm. Less metal and smaller motor needed means cheaper car.
But you can always change CDN provider in a few minutes, an hour or a day.
You cannot move from Twitter to SomeOtherUnknownPlatform.com or from the App Store to UnknownAppStore.com if those platforms decide they don't want you there. Well you can, but no one will ever see you again. You cannot even move to a well known platform in case your followers are not there (or don't use that OS). At least, it will take years to move them over.
Yes, you are right, knowing the clock rate and duty cycle would be interesting to know. And knowing what the MCU is actually doing. Powering an MCU from a lemon or potato is nothing new and has been done with more than 30 year old MCU's, implementing clock's etc.
More challenging is probably to power a complete system, i.e. everything around the MCU, like driving Ethernet or WiFi or BT as well as some analog sensors and the like. Embedded MCU's do not require much and if you can spread out the computing needs over time, no big deal.
Look at Casio watches and the like which you can run for 10 years and they provide quite some features. It's okay as long as it is features that stay within the MCU/Display realm. Now, the watches which provide BT, GPS, different sensors etc kind of suck in this regard.
Also from a user perspective there are many benefits with a software that exists on many platforms. It's often better with a slightly less good/snappy app that runs on all platforms than a perfect app than runs only on one platform. It's a feature.
It could also be said that it's a feature that the app does not 100% follow the native UI as the experience will be the same irrespective of which OS you are on.
Electric wire bus is better than tram as it does not require expensive tracks. It is also much easier to change the route. The tracks also create a lot of noise and vibration that gets into nearby buildings. Tracks are also dangerous for bicycles, and slippery for cars and trams.
There might be benefits with trams, but I do not know what.
Isn't that what calendars are for? Most of the time they are pre-installed on all OSes and they handle recurring schedules and notifications. On Linux I use Thunderbird for email with the Thunderbird Lightning Calendar [1]. I sync phone and desktop using CalDAV.
Using Org mode [1] and for example EasyOrg [2] does pretty much that. You can use tags, links etc and filter and sort on text and tags. In the case of EasyOrg you would use the Agenda's List view and for the paragraphs to show up in the Agenda they have to start with TODO (or a custom state, i.e. '* DATA My link number one'). The document preview does not support filtering.
Nice list! For using org-mode on desktop we made EasyOrg, https://easyorgmode.com. With a focus on managing todos for projects and with easy to use agenda and calendar views. More features and improvements being worked on.
By reducing the size and weight of the cars we use gives more than relying on magic new innovations. We use 2000kg cars to drive around a < 100kg person.
If we with the snap of a finger replaced all the coal and oil and gas we use with wind and solar power plants I'm not convinced that would be much better. Not maybe worse, but not better.
Wind mills everywhere, solar plants covering huge areas of land and a lot of metals and energy needed to construct all that. It just moves the problem around.
A small gasoline/diesel car is better than a big electric car.
Or why not a small electric car such as this Citroen Ami or Zbee from Clean Motion:
An alternative to using Emacs is EasyOrg [1] which makes org mode a dash simpler to use and with a useful agenda and calendar view. Not supporting full org mode, but plenty of power for Todo list and project planning.
That's right. Germany exports when the sun is shining and the prices are low to Switzerland and Austria who use it to pump water up the Alps. When there is no sun in Germany, they buy it back at a high price from Switzerland and Austria who convert the stored water to electricity.
