Why make money if you can make MORE money?

When the US pulled out the Taliban didn’t have to fight to take control. The population was ready and willing to put them back into power.

This was the choice the country made. It’s not our place to step into their internal politics at this point. The US did that for years and they decided very clearly they didn’t want that.

Makes me wonder how long before we see translation AI that approximates your voice. Not great for AAA game, but better than nothing.

I live in Colorado, but your point is mostly valid. If you don’t have a home charging solution then an EV starts looking a lot more questionable.

My commute is about 60 miles. The car reports I will burn a bit over 50% battery going there and back again when at full charge, and after the full round trip it’s generally only off by about 1-2% from its topped off estimate. So for my own real world experience? It’s generally accurate for it’s range estimation and when it’s off I generally know why (Driving 85 mph on low traffic days does not help me at ALL).

But still, if your business has you traveling that much then yeah, an EV doesn’t make much sense.

It’s like twitter. Sure there are a lot of people choosing not to use it because of that idiot, but there are a lot of people that just don’t care.

This is a very fair concern with a lot of people switching to EV. I’m lucky enough to be a homeowner with a garage, but if you don’t have a good charging solution either at work or home? EV isn’t right for you today.

One of the best parts of them is that I’ve had to stop to charge in route twice in 4 years of ownership.

That’s around 4 hours of highway speed driving.

Curious, what in the world are you doing that regularly has to on the road for that duration of time?

I’ve owned an EV for about 4 years now. The number of times I’ve been forced to stop at a charging station is twice in that time period. A stop at a gas station is easily 5-10 minutes, something I cannot do at home. The amount of time I’ve personally saved in traveling is huge. Days of time at a pump I never had to spend.

But, I’m only on the road about 2-3 hours a day for my commute. I’m not spending 4-5 hours a day driving very often.

No, what they have is the ability to do so, as expressed by your replies.

Yet you feel the need to tell them how they should act?

If they wish to participate, it’s their right to attempt to join. I just think it’s wonderful that the pagents clear policy of hate is backfiring so publicly.

Nice ratio!

9.1 TB up 1.8 TB down

5.2 ratio over 900 days.

Not dethroning op for a while yet.

That’s what I use personally, I’ve seen the feature elsewhere too.

If I care about the data? It’s on a file system which reports file corruption.

Otherwise? I don’t trust it at all. I back it up and replace the drive when it dies.

Have done years of enterprise fault analysis, I promise you that SMART will happily tell you there is a problem at the same time you begin to experience data corruption. You might get lucky and catch and altered sector count spike up, or a temperature value go out of family, but in the field those things really suck at predictions.

If you want to know if a drive is healthy, track data corruption at the file system layer.

So just as an FYI to those who trust these sorts of things, SMART technology is a self reporting thing. The hard drive is more than capable of lying to the data in that system if it protects the manufacture from responsibility of replacing faulty drives. Whats more, it’s actually pretty rare that SMART reports and issue before the drive just sorta… dies someway or another.

It’s not useless technology, but it’s pretty damn close. I don’t even both with any of my setups. I test it by monitoring if the server has issues reading/writing. SMART wont tell me anything before that will.

Apple’s systems are designed so that they don’t really have a choice in the matter. The end user holds the only master key.

This could 100% happen in the US today given the reproductive laws being passed.

These people are trying to help, snark makes it sound like you want to troll, not be helped…

What are you attempting to do here? Host for any generic user? Host just for yourself? From only one remote device? From many remote devices?

Lol, it’s more to show a point. Most engineers and programmers are VERY hard to advertise to. We do to much research, so it’s often an ignored group in marketing. Easier to go after other demographics.
