So this ship is obviously just an experiment in greenwashing, it sounds like the panels basically just keep the lights on.

But if the 10,800 cars were all EVs equipped with V2L and you had them powering the ship, how far could their batteries at 100% propel the ship?

10,800 * 80 kWh = 864,000 kWh. Another post said the engine output is 15,000 kW, so it could go full steam for 864,000/15,000 = 57.6 hours? Although I guess using an electric rather than fossil engine will be a lot more efficient (2x? 3x?) Still, the energy density of oil is amazing…

If broken slop apps crowd out the good, actually usable apps so the App Store just becomes a cesspool of useless garbage, they make no money as people wil abandon trying to find a tool for their problem.

Have you considered financing a Tesla???

Sadly, their car sales are back up in Europe since unfortunately nobody has morals anymore. The real answer is “blowing your money on the next grift - AI and robotics”

If your neighbor has an EV and you don’t, suddenly you’ve decided that you’re poor

As always, people have short memories, or just do not give a shit about ethics

Tesla’s vehicle sales rose 77 percent from January through May compared with a year earlier, the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association said this week. In May, Tesla sold 22,000 cars in Europe. That’s more than Ford, Nissan or Honda, even when including their fossil-fuel models.

Many people seem to have put aside their personal feelings about Mr. Musk after Tesla cut prices for its entry-level models to levels that are competitive with comparable gasoline or diesel vehicles and inexpensive cars from China. In some countries, Tesla’s Model Y sport utility vehicles can be leased for less than 300 euros, or about $340, a month.

“Once you go down the pricing scale, people pay less attention to ethics or morality,” said Matthias Schmidt, an independent analyst in Berlin who tracks electric vehicles sales. “Tesla’s product has become so appealing from a price perspective, it’s almost too good to refuse.”

As long as you still have tens of millions of people pre-ordering GTA6, nothing is going to change. People bitch and whine but they keep eating the slop.

They just added ads to their Maps app, I am 100% expecting them to add ads to AppleTV

Nope

The EU is still poorer than the US

The poor parts of Eastern Europe like Romania are awash in cheap, fast internet though

$30/mo for 10 Gbit here in Japan. They just started offering 25 Gbit in parts of Tokyo this month for $200/mo

Hasn’t the Prius also generally used NiMh batteries rather than the Lithium-based chemistries?

That was the first time it really hit home to me how much it hurts to lose real talent from this world.

I’ve been dabbling in C development for classic Mac OS when I’ve had some spare time over the past year. I’ve been doing it directly on my old Macs, a PowerMac G4 when I’m at my desk or a PowerBook G3 Lombard when I’m in the living room.

I’ve been using CodeWarrior as a compiler/IDE. For documentation I have a copy of Inside Macintosh in HTML format from an old Apple Developer CD, a copy of “A Hobbyist’s Guide to Programming the Mac OS in C” in PDF format, and a program called “Toolbox Assistant” for quick reference. Occasionally using MacsBug as a debugger when I’m outside of the IDE. All of this can be found on Macintosh Garden or just Google.

edit: My focus has been more on utility-type applications but if you’re more into games or something there are a bunch of books here with different focuses https://vintageapple.org/macprogramming/

Whoever inside of Netflix pushed for this, you’re fighting the good fight!

Laptops have all but taken over from desktops for everything but AAA gaming. New houses are still built with zero Ethernet because “the internet is Wi-Fi right?”

People are using their laptops to edit video off of a NAS, MacBooks can run 100 GB LLMs. Heck even non-AAA games are many gigabytes.

What happened to Second Life anyway? All the gooners are on VRChat now and they seem to be doing fine
