I love how you jump straight to assuming other people are dumber than you. Yet, as I’ve already explained, I start with asking people I know about their experiences first. I also don’t buy things until I actually find I have need for them.

would be neat, maybe somebody will make a server to mirror it to loops :)

You just have to start using non western platforms like Xiao Hong Shu and reading media from outside the west.

All the time. When I actually need something, then I’ll go do a bit of research on different products based on feedback from friends, and what people online say, then use that to inform what I buy. I can’t think of any product I bought because it was advertised to me.

If you’re in the west then it’s worse now because capitalism is reaching the stages of systemic collapse. For people living in countries like China or Vietnam the picture is quite different. They see their lives improving each and every day. They have clean cities, great infrastructure, and a rate of technological progress we can only dream of. Those of us living in the west are living through a similar collapse to the one that happened in USSR in the 90s, but the west is only 13% of the world population.

Yeah, they mention it in the vid. It’s the exact same principle, but this way you can do it anywhere without needing a large body of water near by.

The approach China is taking is to invest in all kinds of different approaches, and then see what works. I imagine the answer is going to be that different types of energy storage will work best in different situations. Something like gravity storage might be useful for balancing short term fluctuations in the grid, it can be built anywhere, and it’s very safe.

These things only make sense at very large scale. China has already built some and they’ve approved more projects going forward. https://www.enlit.world/library/china-connects-gravity-storage-and-launches-three-new-projects

Aww, muffin is mad. 🤣

I love how you just lie about everything, but we should just take your word on it, bye https://www.mercomindia.com/china-targets-180-gw-of-energy-storage-capacity-by-2027

Aww muffing, you keep on coping there. Meanwhile, I didn’t compare anything, I gave an example of how building a particular thing over and over brings the costs and time of construction down. The fact that you still can’t comprehend that how little goes on in that head of yours.

Concrete is certainly a lot more clean than lithium mining. Meanwhile, construction of specific things is obviously something that you learn to do better over time. For example, here’s how cost of nuclear reactor construction has dropped in China as they learned from building them. Absolutely incredible that the concept of getting better at doing things through practice escapes you.

Meanwhile they are already in production, hilarious how you didn’t even bother checking a link past 2018 before spewing more drivel. 🤣

Following the start of grid interconnection in September 2023, the 25MW/100MWh EVx GESS in Rudong achieved full interconnection after the completion of the final 4km 35kV overhead power line to a remote end substation, as planned with local state grid authorities.

Obviously much cheaper than mining lithium, and the expense goes down as you scale out the technology as China is doing. But you keep on coping little buddy.

The brave few who dare venture here.

I gotta say, the level of pettiness is really hilarious.

Seems likely that we’ll see tech stacks diverge and become incompatible going forward.

It could be that it did happen before, but it was just individual cases and if the outage wasn’t long then probably wasn’t noteworthy. This time it was a whole bunch of people affected all at once for a prolonged period. And you’re likely right that there’s probably a series of states the device can be in, and it does calls to AWS as it moves through them, so probably got stuck at a particular stage and couldn’t move forward cause it couldn’t talk to the mothership.

Yeah, it’s almost certain everybody would just end up using the same library.
