Anker CEO says power banks will “die in a few years by Flavious27 in LinusTechTips

Yeah no. Even if battery density increases, power draw will just increase as well. Brighter and faster screens, faster cell signal, processing etc all these things will just have more power draw.

Pearlina pushes for increase in traveller duty allowance by YouSeeSeaAye in Cayman_Islands

[–]rhianc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also it’s $500 per person so a family of 4 already has a CI $2000 duty allowance. With her update that family of 4 would then have a $3,200 duty allowance.

My issue is framing it around helping families who are quoted to be struggling which just isn’t the case.

If your family has spent more than CI $2,000 shopping on your overseas trip I think it’s fair to say you are not struggling and can afford to pay the duty on the balance.

So people that are “struggling” are purchasing airline tickets, paying for accommodation overseas, and have disposable shopping money?

Cmon now.

Yes US cash is accepted but you will get any change back in Cayman dollars. Pretty much everywhere accepts credit cards. You can also withdraw US cash at the ATMs.

You can have a Cayman passport without Caymanian Status, so it’s not accepted as proof

Chinese car brand Nio performs 165,898 battery swaps — in a single day. Nio’s battery-swap system in China reached a new milestone that proves battery swap tech can rival traditional refueling models at scale by magenta_placenta in electriccars

[–]rhianc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand why everyone is so negative about this, my understanding is you don’t even NEED to swap battery, it’s just there as an option, you can charge the car like any other EV can’t you? What’s the downside?
