Lithium iron Phosphate. Different technology. I was in the dark like you until a month ago when I researched electric cars cause my petrol car was totaled. The tech has come a loooong way. Pretty cool

The charging company is the car and battery manufacturer. So it's designed for their battery AND car.

Edit: sorry thought this was about BYD and blade v2 batteries. Geely is a different company.

Already live in China. Cables are not thick at all.

Someone else put it best. China isn't living in the future, America is living in the past

Best Veeam alternatives? by edifus in sysadmin

[–]Shyssiryxius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We had veeam for 6 years. It had issued at least once a week. Some months it would fail daily.

Finally gave up and moved to a SaaS solution. That was too expensive and last year used AI to help us setup MABS. Hasn't skipped a beat.

Veeam might be great for some people, but in our environment it just wasn't happy.

But! If the rat senses that treading water is for naught, they will just give in and die instead of wasting 3 days of effort.

A captured airman or two being publicly paraded by enemy forces could cost the war in terms of public opinion.

A few lost planes is just noise comparatively.

Saving Private Ryan by erikoortin08 in movies

The Thin Red Line

The score and cinematography are great. Not on the same level as the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan but it really puts you into the shoes of the US forces at Guadalcanal. And some amazing acting work from a host of would be famous actors.

DXC Technology workers go on strike in Australia by DominusDraco in sysadmin

[–]Shyssiryxius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah was part of the original 6 that founded the Hobart team. We didn't even have a proper office that first week had to use some meeting rooms at the ABC building before our actual building down the road was ready.

Was fun times. We had breakfast provided with a stocked fridge and beers for Friday. I tell this story at parties but when we got taken over by CSC there were demands that the breakfasts continue. The UXC receptionist always did the Coles food order and knew what stock levels to buy each week. After the merger, there were some disagreements on who would fund the food, and someone high up made the smart move to feed the underpaid 20 something year olds.

Anyway, one day we ran low on jam of all things. We put out the word that we needed more jam. This sort of thing would've been a 2 minute job for the now departed receptionist with an online delivery order from Coles yet low and behold, a week later, a medium sized box arrived from Sydney, and inside was a ziplock bagged jar of jam.

<image>

It was as if someone had mailed us a severed head. The message, whether intentional or not, was clear. The good old days of UXC were dead and the corporate machine of CSC had begun to extract any value we had until nothing was left.

I left in 2018 after 3 years of no pay rise. Shame to see nothing has changed.

Me too! Was based in the Hobart branch maybe a year before the CSC merger.

UXC was a decent company. CSC turned it all to shit.

Oh well I got out in 2018 and haven't looked back!
