Is reading someone's previous posts really "spying"? It's public. I do it sometimes to find out if the person I'm conversing with is actually an idiot or not. I don't bring their other posts into the conversation but it's a good way to know if it's worth expending more energy on a conversation that isn't going anywhere.

Dedicated circuit(s) with a manual switch from mains to inverter, I’m guessing?

That's how one of the hospitals I worked at did it. Probably wasn't a manual switch though.

My media server has more shit I want to watch on it than Netflix does, it's not even close. Yeah it took some time to build my library but it's paid off. Even starting out just queue up a bunch of shit ahead of time and it will be ready to go when you go to watch it. I personally watch shows through the week as they take longer to get through and are more adaptable to the amount of free time I have. Then I queue up any new movies for the weekend and new shows as I hear about them. It's not difficult to stay ahead of the curve with some minimal planning. My backlog will take me months to get through. Also your media library will never remove shit before you're done and you're not limited to just what the streaming services you have are currently offering.

There was a period of time where I was watching a significant amount of new movies coming out on pornhub. Then some jerkoff wrote an article about it and it got posted to reddit and blew up. Like days later pornhub clamped down on that shit hard.

Tesla's haven't existed for 20 years. How can that be the average lifespan? At best it's theoretical. Most likely it's some musk stooge making shit up.

Yeah, I'm kind of excited to explore what kind of activities outside has come up with since I was a teenager. Gonna have a lot of free time now that computing won't be fun anymore.

I agree with a lot of the things you said about the problems with AI but not that this is one of them.

If it wasn't this it would have been something else. People with mental health issues can get fixated on things and spiral until they act out. This has been a thing for as long as there have been mental health issues. It's not a failing of AI, it's a failing of society for not having sufficient mental health support to catch people like this before they go off the deep end. They shouldn't have to turn to AI in the first place.

You really think it’s at all practical to build out everywhere a network of station

It works with propane tanks.

one ton batteries to fit every age of every vehicle in every location no matter how rural and heavy automated equipment to maneuver them?

That's where standardization comes in. All vehicles would use the same cells, or maybe a couple sizes depending on use case. No reason they have to way a ton either a car could have multiple cells sized for a person to be able to handle themselves. This would also allow you to "top up" if they can get the cells to drain sequentially.

You want to hold battery technology stagnant to support this? You want to lose the efficiency and reliability benefits of structural batteries.

As long as new technology connects to the old connections then they can change whatever they want inside the cells. That's how batteries have been for pretty much the entire history of batteries. And no I don't want to lose anything. I was merely asking a question.

The reality is current batteries already last longer than the first owner keeps a vehicle and newer ones easily exceed lifespan of ice vehicles.

I'd very much like to know what the actual numbers are for "how long the first owner keeps a vehicle" and the "lifespan of ice vehicles". I've had my car for 15 years and I'm the first owner. My dad had a truck that's coming up on 40 and is still kicking. EVs haven't even been around long enough to prove that

You should be fine if it's just messing with the usual document types but my understanding is universities use a lot of proprietary bullshit for homework and stuff these days that probably doesn't play well with Linux. I would try setting up a virtual machine or a old PC if you have one first to dip your toes in the water

I mean if Gemini was responding to some kind of roleplay then yeah it does. Not everyone doing shit with it has mental health problems. Some people are just fucking around.

Not that I want to defend AI slop, but what prompted these responses from Gemini?

Never understood why EVs aren't made with standardized hot swappable cells. Would solve the range problem and the wear problem.
