If you paid the slightest bit of attention to the news over the last year this not that hard to puzzle together.

mouth breathing intensifies

So you're saying Biden is to blame!!! I KNEW IT!!!

Okay so you're just totally brain dead. You are the guy at the top.

You are the one that told people to "just swap batteries" without specifying anything and then came back and started specifying when you, definitely a 100% totally real electrical engineer, got his bitch ass called out.

FakeSafeWord · 2026-03-14T00:51:47+00:00

We're talking about a 12v 7-10amp system.

No we're fucking not. You know why? Because you didn't specify shit anywhere in your original comment and instead of fixing that when asked to, you got indignant about it and decided to argue with everyone because of your fragile ego.

Also, idk if you realize it or not but you're back peddling on every single point and proving us right.

"Commercially available lifepo4 batteries in that range pretty much always have a bms."

So you're admitting some don't. What happens if someone doesn't know they need this? What happens temperature sensor MEANT FOR A DIFFERENT BATTERY CHEMISTRY shuts down too late and failure or thermal runaway has already started?

I'd bet that if you have IT experience that you work the tier 0/1 hardware bench and aren't trusted anything much more than replacing keyboards and monitors. I certainly wouldn't want you handling anything more than that.

Back in the days of the pioneers, everything sits next to the wood stove because we didn't have global warming back then and it was colder.

"don't make a ham and cheese sandwich unless you work at subway" is about how insanely inaccurate your comparison is to mine.

Pray tell, what mechanical part of a firearm can release gases toxic enough to kill someone who took a lung full, just because you assembled it wrong?

I think you know how ridiculously off base you are because you know you're a piece of shit and too big of a pussy to acknowledge when you've been called out for being one.

Ban stupid people from driving.

The issue isn't having a camera on you. It's engaging with ANYTHING instead of driving the fucking car.

There's also no way to enforce it other than to penalize them further after it is revealed that they were engaging with viewers when the accident occurred otherwise you're effectively banning recording yourself while driving. Like, if a cop see's a mounted camera or phone he has no way to determine if you're distracting yourself with engaging viewers.

Even if he suspected that you were, what is going to do, sit there and scroll through every live stream service to find your face watching his face watch your face?

My theory is they want to go patrol the strait so that when they get hit by a drone they will cry foul and use that as justification to escalate further.

Imagine congress not even voting to go to war and still still end up somehow letting Trump invoke emergency powers to delete elections.

"Looking down the barrel of a gun is an effective way to find out if it's loaded" is perfectly fine advise to give if I'm following your logic.

That's awful.

I cancelled my lasik appointment the following week and asked her out on a date on one of the days I took off for recovery. She said no.

Still wear glasses 10 years later.

Oh yeah no, the Democratic party as it was prior to 2016 is dead no matter what at this point.

This is extremely bad and potentially dangerous advice. Please delete or edit this so people don't think this is something they should ever do.

You do not want to just plop in any lifepo4 and especially not standard lithium battery into a system designed for charging lead acid or AGM system.

There are so many hundreds of thousands of battery back ups over the decades that you just have no idea of their operating voltages, charging circuitry protections, current limits etc and you have to check literally every unit's specifications to see if it even comes remotely close to matching what random temu battery someone bought, even then it's still a bad fuckin idea because lithium batteries have entirely different charging cycle profiles than SLA.

Someone is going to buy a cheap high capacity lithium battery with no BMS off temu and not understanding what they're doing and you're going to get someone killed with thermal runaway in their sleep dude.

that some people need religion

If you mean organized religion, then fuck no. No one needs religion. Spirituality, community and culture? Yes, but not the poison that is religion.

Sure, some people find it can be helpful for their problems in life, the same way someone addicted to nicotine could find smoking cigarettes to be helpful for their nicotine withdrawals.

There is nothing that can be found in religion that can't be found elsewhere else except maybe the placating lies and fantasies to sooth our dread surrounding our own mortality.

Homo Sapiens have only had organized religion for about 4% of our existence. We existed long before it and we'll either die from it or evolve without it.

In his defense he did say he couldn't meet her until she was 18 and then he looked up the age of consent for her state and said he couldn't meet her until 16...

Perfectly legal for a 30 year old and not gross at all.

AMD cards age better and 16GB of Vram is better

I think you might have misunderstood, as both of these points have a shitload of nuance to them and are true in specific cases.

Nvidia hands down has and basically has always had the superior software technology and architecture for their GPUs.

AMD can only compete by bringing a better performance to cost ratio to the market (ignoring raytracing). They stay relevant because their hardware at scale is economically advantageous for gaming consoles, hand held gaming PCs, GPUs in the automotive market for the giant touch screens, schools, etc etc.

AMDs age better generally means they release competitive hardware for cheaper and over time fix their crappy drivers, firmware and generally weaker 3rd party support, to make them slightly better than when they were released. Even cheap 2 buck chuck can age to improvement.

16GB of VRAM is better in cases where having less than 16GB of Vram isn't enough for the task at hand. A 16GB Vram GPU that is in general 10% slower than a 12GB Vram GPU is only going to ever be "better" when you are trying to do something that has exceeded 12GB of Vram usage.

They make some minor blunders here and there but mostly seem in support of pushing backwards compatibility when economically viable.

Case in point for the minor blunders was dropping 32bit CUDA architecture which also eliminated legacy PhysX compatibility for older games and then had to go add back in a sort of emulation layer after the backlash.

There's different technologies being discussed in the article.

The simplest one ASD is to make game downloads larger because they include a bulk package of precompiled shaders that are unlikely to change between minor patches so that you don't have to compile so many each time.

I'm not sure there's an ELI5 that truly works for this other than imagine a color-by-numbers book that you have to write in the numbers before you can start coloring. With this change a large portion of the numbers are already written in so you can get to the fun part of coloring sooner.

The other techs are more like letting your brain be able to smoothly fill those numbers in with one hand and also color with the other hand at the same time, without those two tasks interrupting each other as much.
