I'm going to be optimistic for now that this is a sign that the military is concerned with honoring their oaths to uphold our Constitution by following due process etc, after 100 days of profoundly disturbing attempts by the Executive branch to dishonor the highest of laws in our land.

How did that process work? Did you just connect the +/- ends of the cell to the +/- 12v wires of the PSU and let it feed from the high-amp outputs? Imagine there's plenty of amps on the GPU and CPU power wires

Yeah that's a good point. Ours uses the same refrigerant system as the AC to cool the battery, and the actual "charger" for the battery is inside the car being controlled by its software etc. The cables that plug in on the outside are technically just power wires, with the charging brains inside the car. That would be amazing if they could update the software to rejuvenate the battery once a year or something.

Important note near the end of the article - they aren't saying we should cook batteries really -

"The team's hypothesis is that the structural disorder developing inside LIBs may become a “tunable parameter” that, if tweaked using chargers at precise voltages to alter said battery composition, could be used to rejuvenate the batteries in our tech without fires."

This is a good old idea that goes back to the days of desulfating lead batteries with powerful shocks of high-amperage current. Might just need a special Healing Charger that applies the right voltage/current to dissolve the bad crystals in lithium-ion systems

That's what they want you to think. In reality they just stopped trying to be efficient with storage because of Internet delivery vs DVD size limits. They probably didn't even try middle-out compression!

Well that's not too surprising, when the original game's installer files are only about 5-6 GB in total, and the remaster requires 120GB of space. They probably have a couple copies of Fallout in there too just for bloat.

Speaking of the M-cpu Macs and RPCS3, I got the old PS3 Demon's Souls to work pretty well on an M1 + 8GB RAM Mac last year. Pretty nice to be able to play a "PS3 exclusive" Souls game on a Mac considering the total lack of Souls titles available for MacOS.

Correction: People think that playing outside became too dangerous, but all kinds of crime stats are down since the 90s. Social norms changed to make people think there is more danger due to all the post-911 fear propaganda.

How much is the horse armor?

There is the Skywind project, but I'm not sure if any progress has been made in the last year

But how will the phone brains see the pavement markings when they're not on the phone screen?

Time to get on the bandwagon of ultra-pasteurized milk or re-boil your milk at home

Awesome song by supergroup 3rd Secret, from their first album.

3rd Secret includes members of Nirvana and Soundgarden. Here's their Bandcamp page with all the details:

https://3rdsecret.bandcamp.com/album/3rd-secret

3rd Secret's first album is diverse ranging from folk to neo-grunge. The album coalesced into a single project from a mess of different projects that Krist Novoselic was involved in. They brought it together to make a great band of rare talent.

Their 2nd album "2nd 3rd Secret" is more focused and has more consistent feel throughout. You can tell that they operated more as a band than a collection of projects on the 2nd one.
