Even if you’re not using a VPN to visit blocked sites, there’s still more reason for US citizens than Europeans to use it.

EU have privacy rights by default. US, not so much.

We already met it.

It said that Taiwan was a part of One China, and it even used the phrase “we” when discussing it, as it agreed with the CCP policy.

From my search:

“The “+” sign in the WiFi logo indicates that your device is connected to a WiFi network and is using enhanced WiFi features such as WiFi Calling (VoWiFi) or faster data transfer protocols like WiFi 6, depending on your device and network capabilities.”

That’s not the sad part. It is companies going for maximising profit as aggressively as possible, meaning they don’t care if they could earn 20 mil on this game, if they can get 50 on another.

I’m already looking forward to the anniversary of this. I always see your posts.

I remember seeing Day 1. Didn’t think I should see Day 149.

Keep it up, Atticus.

The upside, in short, is density.

The silicon batteries can store alot more power in the same size and weight.

That means you can put alot more power into your existing size of hardware.

It’s also extremely beneficial for electric cars, which can either lower the weight on the car or put more juice in it. Both increasing the range.

For your point about replaceable batteries, it’s true. If we can replace batteries, the hardware will not be lost. But everything comes down to how often we need to replace them. How fast does these batteries really degrade in real world use? It can leave us with even worse ecological challenges and might be very expensive. We need a strong reuse culture for this to not be a new catastrophic environmental case.

The real deal is this though:

A third option is Solid State Batteries and is still the best solution for the future, but it’s not fully ready for commercial use yet. They do not seem to have any of the downsides from both lithium and silicon. But again, it’s not ready.

Yes, in phones we can limit the damage by using slow chargers.

But when it gets hot, it’s also a lot worse than with lithium. Not only do they degrade permanently, but they also loose more power while in the given operation.

Meaning while hot, your battery might burn 10% but only use 5% worth of power.

Some phones also gets hot when gaming or shooting pics or videos because of the CPU. If the thermals are manged poorly, it can permanently damage the battery as well, which we do not see in lithium.

They have two downsides but more upsides.

The silicon is not without limitation and will degrade faster. You will see your battery becoming worse and worse, but I’m not sure how fast it will break even with a traditional Li-Ion battery, calculating in the higher density in silicon.

The other downside is that silicon does not work as well in higher temperatures, and that can be a problem if the battery gets too hot. It’s the same mechanism in CPUs also consisting of silicon. They will be considerably worse performing at high temperature.

I hope they can improve on this, but it might be limitations of silicon as a material, meaning not much can be achieved.

If they can fix the cycle life on those new batteries, I’m the first to buy them.

But I’m not buying a phone with higher battery degration as of right now.

Yeah, that would be an Xbox controller.

You then need to buy a dongle for the Switch, and that’s what the guy above is talking about. If you do that, you can play on all your mentioned devices with only one controller.

Not really on topic, but AI upscaling is no joke. It’s actually very useful and saves alot processing power. Same with the extra fps, making a 30fps into a 60fps with ease.

Fair point now, but it’s most likely that in 50 years, you wouldn’t trust a human to do the work.

Who cares who develops it first.

Fusion will generate power for the whole world, and it will be the end of basically all coal power plants. This will benefit EVERYONE.

Fossil fuels won’t go away from one day to another tho. It will take forever for all countries to transition to basically infinite electrical power, and we don’t have enough EV’s on the road just yet to replace oil. Then there’s planes, ships and trucks we need to look at.

So who cares who develops it. China at least will provide it for the people, while the US will stall it to sell more oil.

I think the guy above is just mad he can’t figure out how to use it. Always easier to be mad at the tool.

Interesting, do you know what happened to it?

Both this and x-rays in general are very great use cases for AI, as it can spot and identify 100x faster and more accurate than humans.

I think they already are implementing it around the world in a small scale so far.

Big up to China for literally finding a way to save the environment.

That would never happen, because it’s from China. We can’t allow their superior technology on battery / green energy, so it’s better to keep using oil - because politics, you know?

Amazing. Great job, India, and all other regions who also have passed this.

Yeah, again it’s EU setting a standard and the world is to follow. It’s amazing what we the people actually CAN do, if we just stand up to big corporations.

Did you forget to change profiles when answering yourself?

EU are the heroes we need, but don’t deserve.

Did it though, or did they only react on reports from already infected users.

This seems very weird, as it shouldn’t matter at all. Are you talking about eSIM support, or just 5G?

They may be something with different wavelengths for 5G, but I’m not the right one to answer on that one.

It’s literally to comply with the EU. Microsoft doesn’t do this to be nice.

No, they can’t be trusted. That’s why they are forced to do it by the EU to comply to the DMA.

This may only be released in the EU, also.

They’d have to. They don’t make the change so they can be nice. It’s probably also only for EU users, when it releases.

Posts like these reveal how many reads the article.

This is a good thing done by Microsoft. They make sure that 3rd party software can’t change the default browser without the user knowing.

They will get prompted with the choice screen showing all installed browsers. And when they make their choice, even Edge wouldn’t be able to prey people into clicking a button that makes it the default instead.
