Energy density needs to increase for sure, but I see a point where cars charge fast enough that there will be less need to increase it further. I imagine it'll look a lot like gas stations today, where they stop for a few minutes and leave again.

Most vehicles should be charging slowly at home anyways.

No, but ~~they think~~ they are above the law.

FTFY. So far, at least. Let's see if any reckoning is forthcoming.

Is that legal?

😂

Not like that matters any more.

In comparison, he probably is.

That's what I meant. Compared to the power the GPU is actually using, transmission losses for a pass-through should be negligible. If you have a good way to get it to the card in the first place.

USB standard is up to what, 40Gbps and 240W? That's pushing the envelope already. We'll see if this new standard can prove itself, anyways.

It would just put extra thermal load on the GPU.

Passing power through doesn't have to put noticeable load on the GPU. The main problem I see there is getting even more power to the GPU - Nvidia's top cards are already at the melting point for their power connector.

That seems like a spectacular oversight. How is it supposed to replicate human vision without depth perception?

whatever helps you justify paying $120 for software

Does that sound like a lot to you?

Considering the use I got out of it, even if I switch to something else tomorrow, the cost for the lifetime pass was peanuts. I'm sure others making that decision based on the situation today will feel the same in a few years. If Plex seems like the best solution today it's not going to fall off the cliff before $120 were worth it.

Not like FOSS projects are immune to bad decisions, and then you either fork it yourself or depend on unpaid volunteers to keep the version you like alive. There's always some risk.

Self driving is supposed to improve on humans, so there's that.

At this point everyone should know that YouTube thumbnails have no requirement for accuracy. It's more like an album cover.
