No, we need to transfer a lot of power instead. So those with 800v cars need to be mindful to visit certain charger stations/types over other ones in order to get a fast charge, vs relying on the car to boost it from an older station.

Just imagine you would visit such charging station and it would support the fast charge. But only the connector, not the cable.

It’s not a technical limitation. Nobody sees the need to build it that way though.

I concur about the picture quality of their OLEDs - it's incredible. But I can't say anything about their interface or software - I've not seen them for probably a year+ at this point. The Apple TV remote turns it off/on, and adjusts the volume. The LG has not been provided internet access.


Have you tried /usr/bin/say ? Might already have something sufficient for you - there’s quite a few voices there.


Is anyone actually running new telecom copper these days? I’d be surprised if so.


Thieves are not educated enough to understand the difference and will steal the fiber and try to sell it (with no success) and in the anger, destroy huge swathes of the remaining fibre.


No. By that logic, PVC pipes wouldn't be safe from thieves, because thieves wouldn't be able to understand the difference from copper pipes. Anyone who's ever touched a fiber cable before immediately understands the difference from a copper cable, and if thieves can't get paid, they're not going to waste their time stealing it.


People do steal PVC pipes, albeit more commonly in bulk:

In any case, the fiber situation in Ghana was dicy for a time because theives were cutting the fiber lines in hopes they were copper. Thieves are often in a hurry so they cut first, check, then move on.


I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of a large portion of thieves, they will destroy $100,000 in property to steal $50 in iron to pawn off. Fiber runs to cabinets and they run those cabinets over to get the metal they are made of.


The question is if they can tell it's fiber _before_ cutting through it and damaging it. This seems way easier with PVC pipes than with fiber cables.


Looking forward to reading about it in The Lancet or another respected medical publication.


do those exist anymore? any publication that accepted the revised definition of natural immunity during the global push for this untested gene therapy mrna injection seems to be discredited. i remember when natural immunity went from being a normal concept to a right wing conspiracy theory.


Shouldn't we all by dying from myocarditis or sterile or mind controlled or gay by now according to the conspiracy narratives around COVID?

Weren't the lockdowns supposed to go on forever and usher in the WEF Davos future? What happened to that?


If the cabling was installed before the drywall, good chance it's stapled.


Even if it isn't stapled: Good chance that it has turns inside of walls, floors, and/or ceilings that are impossible to successfully pull new wire through without creating new access for someone to get their hands in there.

Residential low-voltage cable plants are almost never implemented in a way that makes upgrades simple.


Thats hideous.


IIRC it's code :( Very silly IMO.


I think the code probably allows for conduit.


Wouldn’t Kiro fit the bill?


The nice thing about having a rep that supports my ideals is I don't really see the need to. It won't change anything, and I don't need to convince them.


It is important because they need to decide priority. And if they are not strong supporters they may even change their opinion to get votes next fall if they see the political winds. (I don't know your representative, some are more swayed by the winds that others)


mid terms will be fun, and scary to watch. Consequential times....


Both Apple and Google offer the ability for your app to intercept and modify messages before being displayed. Use that to send encrypted messages and decrypt them there, using your own code on the user’s device.


That framing Makes it sound like the app developer has to do something active to keep message cleartext out of notifications. That's not how it is on Android.

A Firebase Cloud Messaging push notification contains what the app developer's server puts in it. That could include the message body or it could just be an instruction to the app to poll the server for new messages. It has nothing to do with the notification that's displayd on an Android device. Those are entirely local.

An app that cares about privacy wouldn't send anything more than a poll instruction over FCM.


You can implement either approach on iOS as well.

But if you have strong end-to-end encryption for messages, then you don’t have to care about the transport anymore, you assume they’re all compromised. At that point you might as well use the push notification system as your transport, given both OSs allow applications to intercept the push notification locally and decrypt it before it’s displayed to the user.


Plus, decrypting using a key stored locally cuts out a network roundtrip, which has battery and data usage impacts.


This has performance/reliability tradeoffs.


In fact this is what both iMessage and Signal (and maybe Whatsapp too but I can’t tell from a quick google) do.
