Reading through the comments on the video, the only "used to be" part the video creator is talking about is that it is a alien hobby OS that hardly anyone uses or knows about. Don't take that as a negative but he is just talking about the feels. Other than that technically their isn't a lot in common with Linux from the past.

How so ? The default browser on Windows is Edge, people keep installing Chrome? Chrome is available on MacOS, yet people stick with Safari?

For all the firefox fans out there it might be good to note there have consistently been more Safari users than Firefox users since 2014. Hell Safari has been the number two browser by market share since 2015.

Browsers have to get very SHITTY or a new browser has to have a killer app to unseat a dominate one.

This report makes it sound like they had a video call with camera on, vs other reports where they recommend people have camera on because they didn't

also used AI tools to create a profile picture and match that face during the video conference calls.

This doesn't sounds like the video was on / faked only that they had a call where the profile picture was used.

Likely has more to do with the cost of 1-2million per station vs 250,000 to 500,000 for a typical EV fast charging station

Electrolysis is at least 25% less as efficient than just storing the electricity in battery’s as it produces both oxygen and hydrogen and then you need to spend some more of the power compressing it…. Even before you get to transporting it. Otherwise we would just have electrolytes plants all over already.

I get 550Mbps on 5 ghz (80Mhz wide) with my iPhone 13 and I get 800-850Mbps on an iPad pro on 6Ghz (160Mhz wide). When in the same room as the AP. When not in the same room speeds are a bit all over the map.

This is via the speedtest.net app on a 1Gbit fibre connection.

I am using new U7 Pro Wall APs.

There is no clean, cheap, efficient source of hydrogen. You still need to transport it around burning more fuel to transport it all around.

There are already multiple ways to get clean electricity for BEVs and the supply chain is cleaner.. Plant, grid, car.

Also coal is already a TINY TINY % of US power production, https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/us-energy-facts/ , going to natural gas sourced hydrogen would be a step backward.

When source to consumption is considered BEV is the cleanest option so far.

but there’s evidence that this shift is already happening.

Shift? Dude that article has been debunked already.

BEV is effectively running on coal.

Funny thing is that EVs are still cleaner than ICE even when powered by a Coal grid

The FCEV is going to be fueled from fossil fuels for the foreseeable future

Today, about 95% of all hydrogen is produced from steam reforming of natural gas.

EV battery packs however can be nearly fully recycled back into more batteries.

You do know that nearly all fuel cell vehicles also use lithium and a battery pack, as well the fuel cell it self uses a number of rare earth metals.
