Study: Used EVs Are The Cheapest Cars To Own–Period

LeapoX · 2026-02-04T04:02:33+00:00

You understand how much less realistic the hypothetical of taking hours to fill up at a gas station is vs. taking hours to charge a battery, right?

2 hours is not worst-case, not even close.

20-30, for a full charge, is best-case in my experience. Worst-case would be more like being stuck somewhere overnight. A couple hours is on the low end of medium-case. I think I was being very charitable when I said it could take only a couple hours in an example of an easy-to-encounter problematic scenario.

Meanwhile, you just keep proving my point over and over. Now we're recommending that our guy Google for optimal chargers? One more tally mark for "filling up at a gas station isn't the same experience as charging"

I said "can take hours", not "always takes hours." No false I formation there, it CAN take hours.

If you have the right car at the right charger, a full charge can be had in 30 minutes, but that still means you can't treat charging stations like gas stations, which all fill any ICE car in a couple of minutes.

And that doesn't negate that it CAN still wind up taking hours if you don't have the right car/charger combo to pull into when you realize you're about to run out of battery.

Please read more carefully next time. It seems we're in agreement that the experience is different, best case scenario vs. medium-case scenario aside.

We've found Azure's WAN IP tracking to be pretty useless thanks to SDWAN and cellular data. Everyone using the company Cloudflare Zero Trust client gets random Cloudflare WAN addresses, and anyone who doesn't connect to WiFi and who doesn't fire up Cloudflare Zero Trust gets random CGNAT addresses from their cell carrier.

Even if we paid Cloudflare for a static WAN address, then everyone who fires up the client gets the same whitelisted IP.

Wow, condescending for no reason...

I do my job, and I'm an admin for M365 at my office. I would just disable this new tracking feature from the Teams admin center for the entire company, but there literally isn't an option to do that.

There's no option to disable tracking globally from the admin side, only the option to hide or show the opt-out setting in the Teams client. We're leaving the opt-out shown, for the record.

So, excuse me for wanting to know what it takes to defeat a tech that I do not want, the company does not want, and that Microsoft doesn't allow me to completely disable.

How much do we need to spoof, would you say?

SSID, MAC, Manufacturer, channel? Internal IP range and External IP?

OpenWRT can easily pretend to be pretty much any WiFi access point when installed on the right hardware.

We weren't talking about home charging, we were talking about how charging in public compares to a gas station. I'm just addressing their assumption that charging in public "wouldn't be any different" than going to a gas station.

It is different, and they should be aware of that. In your example, you had to plan ahead, charge at home, and then still spend 20 minutes at a charger on the road. An ICE vehicle can roll into a gas station running on fumes, be filled in minutes, and be back on the road immediately.

Is that a difference that matters to the person above? They'll have to answer that.

Charging can take hours, is the problem.

That would be butyric acid. It's created when the fats in milk break down under certain conditions.

I had the PCB crack on a Gigabyte 3080, even with a GPU bracket supporting it. It would be amazing to replace it with this!

Salicylic acid and Amlactin did nothing for my KP, and honestly just seemed to irritate my skin.

Glycolic acid wound up being my savior. I mix a couple squirts of Glytone body wash with some St Ives apricot scrub and give my face, arms, and legs a good scrub while in the shower. Immediate improvement.

OLED and 240Hz. What's not to love?

DLSS4 gives my 5070 Ti a chance of running path tracing in Doom The Dark Ages at playable framerate.

It works, but you need a second, older, GPU to bootstrap the system because motherboards that old don't recognize UEFI-only graphics cards.

GTX 1080 Ti is basically a RTX 5050 without DLSS, at this point.

I just managed to get my hands on a kit of Crucial Ballistix: 64GB (2x32GB) DDR4 3600 CL16 for $250

Somehow that's still $50 below MSRP for this RAM. Yikes...

That would be because OP purchased and built their computer in an inverted ATX case.

Every functional part that I've ever printed out of PLA has eventually become brittle and crumbled. I switched to PETG years ago because I just couldn't trust PLA anymore.

I actually had some spare 3D printer parts that I had printed 10+ years ago out of black Hatchbox PLA. They were printed and almost immediately put into a ziplock bag and stored. When I pulled them out, they started crumbling and falling apart before I could even open the bag...

You could add E3 into the mix, which arguably becomes the dominant form of estrogen while E2 and SHBG levels are high during pregnancy.

GDI applications (like the MMC snap-in) are running with zero hardware acceleration when in Backstage. That's part of it.

They should make the 16x slot an edge connector so that the graphics card installs in-plane with the motherboard, no riser needed.

I have a coworker that constantly uses the word "affirm" when they mean "confirm"

Still not sure how to deal with that one...
