I actively avoid Cadburys after Kraft took it over More Info. Wouldn't say it's a full boycott, because I do have a Crunchie every now and again (when Cadburys is the only thing on discount), but it has been more than 10 years now.
Thing is I just bought a box of miniture heroes and I'd say the chocolate has gone seriously downhill since I stopped buying it. Wondering if its just my taste that's changed or if anyone else agrees?
“We are dropping carplay and android auto because mobile phones distract the driver”
But the dashboard looks like this
When they've reached end of life for the car, they are still useful.
EVs require high energy density so they get replaced when they don't store enough energy for their weight. However for grid storage, weight doesn't really matter (at least not as much) so a battery with 80% of its original capacity is a good (and cheap) solution.
When the market is mature, it will good for car owners who need to replace their batteries because the old one still has value.
If you only do it a couple of times a year, then why not hire an ICE for those journeys?
Some manufacturers used to provide this as an incentive when you bought an EV.
Disagree. PR means no local support. PR means city, particularly London, centred politics. That's already bad enough - look at HS2 which was supposed to be for the north, but has ended up being an upgrade between London and Birmingham only.
The fairest system is some sort of ranked choice, you can vote for the party you agree with most, without risking 'wasting' your vote and still get local representation.
Being the first to introduce the ban by 5 years has driven a lot of zero carbon transport investment to the UK. If it changes to the same as the EU, then why not set up there. Can totally understand why Ford UK is pissed, it wont be around much longer now as Ford focus investment in Germany.
I imagine this is how Apple would justify it - if there are internal screws or shields missing then it's a sign that it has been repaired previously by a 3rd party. It might work fine, but it's not to the original Apple specification.
The Apple store don't want to take responsibility for those repairs so refuse to do further work in case it leaves them with liability.
This is a massive waste and is effectively a subsidy for the fossil fuel industry. There are already existing laws for battery and electronics manufacturers to be responsible for their waste. Why isn't the fossil fuel industry responsible for paying to clean up its waste (CO2)?
The technology sucks too (no pun intended), even carbon capture at source isn't that efficient when the concentrations are high. Trying to capture CO2 from air where is around 400 parts per million (0.04%) is a complete waste of time and money.
For those interested, these guys have done the math. Using Exxon's target for future cost of this technology ($100/tonne which is already 1/10th of todays costs, $1000/tonne), it will cost $3.6 trillion a year to absorb how much CO2 we produce. More if we want CO2 levels to come down.
The only effective way to combat CO2 is to stop digging up fossil fuels.
I mean the idea for WEI is to combat bots and AI so it isn't really surprising AI is going to be against it.
But seriously, Bard is just consolidating what it finds on the internet (it's not intelligent), so all this really says is that there are plenty of web articles against AI in its search database.
I remember international flights that had several outside cameras, one looking slightly down and forward was the best by far, although most of the flight it was just clouds and during landing that one turned to face forward so you couldn't see the runway. Haven't seen them recently though.
91% on Chrome mobile behind PiHole. Fairly good for a minimum effort whole network solution.
Agreed about the data farming, but I would recommend reading this if you haven't already. Not properly implementing the conventions is basically step 1 in that article.
