If you ignore or violently suppress all peaceful resistance, don't be all /surprised Pikachu face/ when an oppressed people use the only resort they have left.

That certainly is news to me. After all these years and the almost total lack of hydrogen infrastructure in the US, I had assumed that it was considered a dead end.

That said, it does makes sense; I hadn't considered that hydrogen tech was more in competition with ICEs than with EVs.

Possibly, lol. Although going from Samsung's to their own completely custom silicon will be the best chance of seeing some actual improvements.

On top of that, there's the fact that Toyota have been investing heavily in hydrogen fuel cell technology for years, instead of BEVs. They put their bets on the wrong horse, and have been slow to adapt as a result.

Hybrid engines have been around for quite some time, though, and they can be just as reliable as ICEs.

On the other hand, the weakness of EVs right now isn't just the charging infrastructure - it's the batteries. They're big, heavy, and very expensive to replace. This is especially true given all the new electric pickups/SUVs coming onto the market in the US. Battery tech needs to mature a while longer, IMO.

Right, but these new benchmarks don't speak to that, do they?

I though G4 was supposed to bring a big improvement to the modem, or is that going to be G5?

And I never said installing packages is harder than Arch. I said setting up, configuring, and troubleshooting the system is harder than Arch.

In any case, the original point was that NixOS is a weird choice for an atomic/immutable system for grandparents when compared to something like Silverblue.

Yet more evidence that the average Republican's adherence to the teachings of Christianity is purely performative.

Nope, same incident.
