Rumour is that the Shahid Drones use Discord as a backend for Command and Control.

This is terrible.
Aluminium cans should have gone in the recycling! ♻️
That would be wonderful. They would need to make the Change-Over because of the plethora of battery platforms available. I can see them being quite expensive though. Lots of labour to test and refactor that many cells by hand. Consumed cells will need to be recycled and specialist technicians trained and experienced in working with high voltages will need to do the battery swaps in and out of vehicles.
One other good benefit would be that vehicles that are no longer roadworthy will be taken off the road. If an EV battery technician notices damaged structure, they aren’t likely to want to replace the battery in the vehicle. EV battery technicians that aren’t responsible will be selected against by Darwin’s Law. ⚡️🔥💨⚡️
I would like to see your calculations. Please enlighten us.
We let us do the maths; A low end ICE vehicle (historically in Australia) would last 20-30 years if it is serviced regularly. $30k. Let us pretend it uses a tank of fuel a week ($5000),annual Servicing is $1000 a year and insurance is $1000 a year. That is $7000 per year running cost. That is $30k+30*$7k =$240k
Let’s take an EV, assuming insurance is $1000, servicing is $500, cost is $100k and lifetime is 10 years before the battery is useless. I’m not going to worry about electricity. 3*$100k+30*$1500 = $750k
“That’s not fair, you can buy a cheap EV for $50k, and batteries may last longer than 10 years!” Ok then, 2*$50k+30*$1500=$550k
We have AppleTVs on every TV in the house and none of the TVs have ever been connected to the home network. Same with the rest of the extended family.
We also have a HDHomeRun in each house for those rare occasions when we want to watch Broadcast TV.
The only time a TV changes from HDMI1 is when someone wants to play PS or XBox.
Not to mention the TCO. Battery lifetime will be interesting when vehicles are out of warranty.
A traditional ICE vehicle will last decades beyond the Warranty period.
Some of the cheaper EVs have batteries dying within months of warranty expiration; replacement remanufactured change-over batteries are more than the value of a new vehicle.
As long a manufacturers have guaranteed buyback and the vehicles are fully recyclable, that would be fine, but it isn’t something the cheaper brands aren’t offering.
The corporate revolt against MLL has started. The lawyers are starting to realise that outsourcing to an unaccountable third party is too much of a liability. The business leaders are also starting to realise that it isn’t good for their business models.
I was ecstatic to find that the Adobe AI feature is missing from Acrobat Reader when I started my work computer the other day. Our IT department is also progressively excising Microsofts Copilot and Bing Chat features from our work computers too.
More companies need to do this.
Maybe ThE aLgOrThMs insistence to put scantily clad women in everyone’s Shorts is just a really bad attempt at a bad Dad Joke.
Curated music services like Spotify and Apple Music can give some great recommendations.
ThE aLgOrYtHm of YouTube gives terrible recommendations. It is as if it has no musical taste whatsoever.
They are all doing these offensive bundles of crap. It is worse than the days of Cable.
We are subscribed to Apple One Family Premier. I need the large data for my family to backup their devices, but none of us want Fitness+ or News+. It is cheaper to get this extra crap we don’t want, than to just get Data.
I just need a way to disable Fitness+ without disabling the Workout features. This is the same as disabling Shorts, Music and Games in YouTube.
I think that they mean “Silver” rather than grey, but the dealers may be registering them as grey.
My Tan Jimny is in VicRoads as “White” because someone interpreted “Ivory Chiffon” as being ivory, or white.
