I suspect that SteamOS will be ready well in time for all of those computers that don’t have a genuine upgrade path to Windows 11 in October. We may see yet another bump by this time next year.

Might be this dude; it is not free, just very affordable in their market. It turns out making it affordable also brings in a lot of revenue.

Interesting. I wonder how that compares to a similar Li-ion cell. Also it’s a shame there wasn’t a close-up on the markings of the battery in that video to know what it is exactly. I don’t imagine all cells are equal.

The battery packs from the article, for instance, are not constructed from cylindrical cells, but from large thin and flat square cells. The cathode material appears to be unique as well, as far as I can tell; who knows what’s in those blue cylindrical cells.

explosive hazard

Can you elaborate on that? I was just reading the data sheet for these batteries, and these are tested with a ballistic penetration test, resulting in no fire.

I’m presuming this concern is from watching videos of elemental sodium reacting with water, which stands to reason, but I’ve not heard of exploding batteries

I’d count on Apple making the RCS bubbles green too, just to sow further confusion.

I guess now they are virtual assholes too.

I feel like in the future this is going to get more intense. They will have facial+ear+gait recognition combined with AI so they can detect and combine literally every instance of shoplifting, intentional or not (to say nothing of footage that only coincidentally has the appearance of shoplifting but they retain it as “proof” anyway), over decades of visits to any of their locations, and once you’ve accumulated over $1000 combined in unpaid merchandise, hit you with a felony charge.

Or they just ban you after the first incident straight up, and electronically recognize you and kick you out for the rest of your life afterward.

And you would have no affordable recourse because they have all the footage and lawyer money to oppose fighting it.
