Commercially speaking, does Starlink really need 100x bandwidth?
Starlink's target market is limited. It is very good for ships, remote area, but not necessary in cities where most people live.
I am not sure whether the launch and maintenance cost of another 100k satellites is necessary for such a limited market, unless the cost of launch (Starship) and the satellites themselves drops greatly.
The strange names are mainly initials from Chinese pinyin. The first generation of Tencent Hunyuan was released in 23Q3, so it is already quite a veteran.
Cockpit glass gone and the pilot gets sucked out is a classic case. Fuselage skin tearing for various reasons and sucking passengers out also happened. But passenger window gone, this is the first time I have seen it.
zig has been developing too slowly. it still cannot reach a stable 1.0 (to the point that even vsc autocomplete gets its Hello World wrong), and then it ran headfirst into AI.
I miss the free era from 10 years ago. Back then it was probably still called CM.
Now manufacturers are extremely closed: Xiaomi started by making Android ROMs, but today the most practical way to unlock its BL is through exploits...
The problem is that battery swapping is no longer faster than charging, while the vehicle structure still has to sacrifice for a replaceable battery pack.
The biggest advantage of battery swapping is still that slow charging protects the battery.
BYD's flash charging will inevitably hurt the battery. Maybe by this time next year it will no longer be able to charge this fast, just like how they limited the power of older models.
BYD also makes trucks. In southern China, electric trucks are everywhere on the road. As far as I know, they are basically all charged by plugs, not battery swapping.
