Tungston and indium (at least) from those mentioned in the article. Plus graphite, rare earths, and nickle.

You know who has a lot of these minerals? Greenland.

The Clevo OEM laptops that make up most of System76 laptop offerings are getting worse and louder over time. I've had two successive Oryx pros that both had persistent hardware issues that outlasted my warranty coverage, the 2nd of which was simply producing more heat than 3 air cooled heat pipes could ever hope to account for. I know why they stopped selling that particular model of Oryx something like 3 months before the next one was available.

By 2028 "alcoholic idiot" will be the only condition still protected by the ADA.

That's the best poem about a 4-legged chicken that I've ever read.

I've been procrastinating for weeks about setting up a dev environment to help contribute to the codebase, but I didn't procrastinate at all in preordering a Core-2. My Pebble Time might be the last piece of consumer tech that I was both excited for and a satisfied customer of.

That article is light on details. Trying to push 1000kW into an 800V drive train (current state of the art) is going to generate a LOT of heat. Is BYD going to increase the drivetrain voltage in order to bring required amperage down (and heat gen with it)? A lot of car makers haven't even made it to 800 yet.

My car could charge in well under 15 minutes if any charger in my area could make it to the advertised 350kW. My high water mark so far (after 3 months) is 185kW. Usually its closer to 80.

Reminds me of that George Carlin joke: Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

So half of people are dumb enough to think autocomplete with a PR team is smarter than they are... or they're dumb enough to be correct.

Someone should invade Rubio's house and demand the deed to one of his rooms before they'll leave.

I'll celebrate when no one considers this to be news.

While tens of thousands of people have joined Facebook groups in Sweden and Denmark calling for no longer buying American, Norwegian company Haltbakk Bunkers has announced that it will stop supplying US military vessels with fuel.

This first US company they (and everyone) needs to boycott is Meta.

Yup. Downloaded 7b, 32b, and 70b varieties this afternoon. Entirely out of spite.
