Yes, in the EU the minimum recording time was recently increased to 25h. It is not a tech limitation anymore. What is actually limiting are privacy concerns from misuse of the longer recording.

Black box were Solid State Drive before SSD were common, the advantages of no moving parts are simply too high.

Except PET from plastics bottles which is the only common plastic that is fully depolymerizable/ repolymerizable, instead of simply being remeltable.

Please do not use this map projection. It is unambiguously trash. It distord shapes way to much. There are much better equal area projections, like Eckert IV or mollweide

It depend.

“Machine à laver” (washing machine) = female

“Lave linge” (laundry washer) = male

I’m talking from an European view where we replaced the MPV body style with the SUV body style. Basically the same type of car underneath, some models even kept their name during the transition. I’m still quite flabbergasted in how we ended up in this situation.

It is true that they don’t take more space/consume more but they have zero usability advantages vs an MPV?

They are more cramped, waste space with the higher floor/ bigger wheels, and you don’t even have a better visibility since you are more upright in an MPV.

The only thing they have is not looking like an MPV.

An MPV is more useful than 95%+ of SUV that never see anything but pavement.

You get ibuprofen in what ? 500 pack ?! Surely there is enough to kill yourself with this amount. How do you even finish it before it expire ?

I personally think that Tesla plan is to forcefully change the IRA bill that mandate CCS connector on all federally funded charging station.

With this bill, Tesla could lose their charging network advantage in the medium term, or even worse, be burdened by an obsolete “non-standard” in the long term.

Except Tesla, where regen power is always at the maximum level.

People really tend to forget that natural gas + variable renewable energies is the current cheapest/more profitable option, but is overall non sustainable.

Storage + VRE is barely existent because energy provider aren’t incentivised to build it.

I don’t find the source anymore, but i saw a lifetime analysis about sodium ion batteries. Overall they are slighly worse than lithium ion due to higher energy input required during fabrication, despite better mineral availability.

The most common Na-ion batteries use Prussian Blue.
