Are those qi2 chargers or qi1? The magnets make a huge difference.

I didn’t feel like typing that part.

And they had little docks to charge them (and transmit) but they also make docks for your phone.

Bonus: the landline was already wired so just don’t unplug it ever and use it like before.

That’s not physically possible.

But it is extremely efficient for what it is. The first number I found on google said it’s 95% efficient.

If it’s completely misaligned yes. But there’s a wide spectrum between too far off to even turn on, and perfectly aligned.

This is what magsafe/qi 2 fixes by including magnets which should have been there from the start.

I never said it was necessary.

But it is one of the fastest and quickest ways to build credit.

Define “A+”

Credit is about length and girth in addition to their scores. By 40 you’d better have an “A+” score. If you’ve had a mortgage for 20 years, paid your bills on time, and had a couple car loans then anything under 800 would be hard to get.

Calling them today and asking? I mean now yeah of course they’re not going to want to increase it now.

The fact that Amex only gave you a 2k limit after getting a 25k limit means nobody wants you at the moment.

Why are you canceling them instead of just asking for an increased credit limit?

Literally every purchase. Use it like a debit card and build a good credit report before you’re even 30. Shit my credit score was over 800 before I turned 21. My credit wasn’t very thick. But what I had was solid.

Plus every card I have gives me cash back so it’s like getting 1-5% off every single purchase. Plus since I buy things for work and get reimbursed for it I’m effectively making money off of it.

I’m pretty sure they’re talking about credit limit, not score.

A better link.

Would we though? The model S was only ~2 years away and that was the first EV people took seriously.

The leaf was affordable, but depreciation hit so hard that buying one new was only for actually insane people. And the battery degradation was almost as bad as the price degradation so your meh range became even worse. In ideal conditions it was fine, but anything worse and it was not a good option.

The leaf did such a disservice to EVs that the world would probably have been better off without it. It was ugly, it was slow, it had no range, it had no battery cooling so degradation was awful, and charging was slow to boot.

I hated Tesla in 2018, and I still hate them to this day.

Radiowaves are not free real estate. Every country has their own laws on what frequencies you’re allowed to use for what.

2.4ghz frequencies are basically as unregulated as they can get in the US, so that’s why wifi used that for the longest time. I’m not sure what devices used 5ghz before, but they took that frequency for wifi. You have to fight for every mhz you can get in radio waves.

Here’s the wiki article talking a bit about this. I’ve never heard of like 3.6ghz wifi so that’s interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi#Operational_principles%3A~%3Atext=some+cases+severely.-%2CWaveband%2C-[edit]

I love when I take my gay little car out of storage and two days later it snows.

Why would you? Sleep uses so little power and the resume is instant.

If it wasn’t for S0 standby being such a piece of shit I’d never shutdown my computer unless it was for an update or hardware maintenance.
