Those banks can power like a dozen homes for a dozen minutes lol.
It’s not really a secret, pretty much all social sites do this - and most sites to an extent. You know those “Adblock detected” messages you get on sites? Yeh they’re doing the same thing.
There’s nothing wrong with doing it. Unless they’re selling the data against your consent, which the authors have no evidence of, and LinkedIn deny doing so, there’s no issue here.
Word of warning - I wouldn’t be running anything with a battery in it as a home server. If you can disable battery charging that would be much better, or removing the battery would be best - but don’t make this a long term thing.
Using the pokemon you caught in pokemon go and previous switch games is pretty cool.
You can charge from it, but not enough to keep up if you’re driving further than just around the corner to work every day and can’t charge at work.
That’s the loss of space part, but minivans are more like regular cars than SUVs in terms of safety.
Unfortunately the best way to avoid dying in a car crash because a SUV hit you is to be in an SUV.
I downvote comments that are making bad arguments and comparisons, doesn’t matter what it is. The Netherlands is not comparable to Australia. At all. Using them as an example makes no sense
It wouldn’t though. Inner city people already use public transport or walk/bike for the most part. Not everyone that works in the city lives in the city though, and Australia is too big for any public transport solution to work efficiently or cost effectively.
The point is that there are no alternatives to cars for a large, large percentage of the population. In the inner city people already don’t really use cars to just drive around in the city. Public transport in the inner city isn’t an issue - it’s getting in to and out of the city where it is.
Bingo - and even for people who pay cash who previously wouldn’t have to pay a surcharge.
And the government knows prices will go up, and they’re happy cause they make more money in tax.
How do we build and transport any of those without oil? We make none of them here.
