In a semi truck?

In what way? If it’s the bumpers and the crumple zone, then that’s a feature. Do you have a picture about what you are talking about? I’m curious.

“Damaging equipment” is just nonsense. I’ve got an off-grid solar system. When the battery is fully charged the solar panels simply stops producing. It has potential (voltage) but no current until you draw power. Just like a battery is full of energy but it just sits there until you draw power from it.

All solar systems could have smart switches to intelligently disconnect from the grid as needed, some inverter already do this automatically. So it’s not a technical problem. It’s a political problem.

Too heavy, and too big. This is compared to an automotive battery though. They take up the size of something like a fridge. They are also expensive but prices are bound to come down once production is up. But they have claimed zero capacity degradation for decades they say. And the liquid inside is a fire retardant, so if you puncture a battery that would actually put out the fire.

There are number of videos on YouTube, it’s an interesting technology.

There’s absolutely a problem with how MIT Tech Review has phrased it. It could’ve been phrase like “modern power generation requires innovate solutions to the gride and large scale grid upgrades.” But no they blamed it has a Solar problem, not a grid problem.

I see headlines all the time such as “The US highways need a 1 Trillion investment in the next decade”. How come they aren’t phrased like “The problem with trucks and cars is that they destroy roads, leading to Trillions of cost to the taxpayer”. They’ve decided that transportation is non-negotiable and it’s needed. But renewable electricity is not?

Flow battery drawbacks aren’t drawbacks for home use, let alone grid scale.

Twitter and Reddit went so much to shit and lowered the bar so much that Meta actually became almost not bad in my eyes, almost.

Mozilla and Safari.

If only there was a free and open platform as an alternative to Reddit.

Israel is committing genocide and it’s not antisemitism to oppose war crimes.

If you die on the flight, technically true statement.

No you don’t.

You could probably run Windows 7 without any issues at all.

Contrary to popular opinion, as a kid, I really liked clippy and other office assistants. Not to get office tips though, I liked to cycle through their fun animations.

There won’t be a conflict of interest because everyone is paying. So it’s not in the best interest of the other member countries if a corrupt country is getting a favourable report. Because their member fees are being wasted. So there’s checks and balances inherently built into the system.

So in a hypothetical similar scenario this report requested by LMG is funded by GN, Hardware Unboxed, The Verge and all the other YouTubers including the LMG. So there’s incentive to find faults in LMG within the group funding the report.

Nobody wants to watch a video to participate in a text-based debate

Why not? What’s wrong with using the most presentable, easy to digest content? If I needed to present a graph to support my claim would you rather have me describe that information in text rather than link to a picture or a video that shows that graph?

Also, there’s no need to watch the videos in length either to get what I’m presenting either. They describe and support proof to my 2 claims,

1. Investigator should be independent
2. There should be no conflict of interest in where money is coming from to pay the investigator

I presented 3 videos in a few comments but didn’t want to spam it to every reply. But here they are for your convenience.

If you were thinking that we were having a debate, why don’t you stick to debate rules and present a rebuttal to my claims?

Yeah, nor does the country crowd source the money for the investigation,

But they do. IMF pools its money from its member countries, hence crowd sourcing. The country being investigated doesn’t pay them.

so I’m starting to see a pattern in your answers.

What pattern is that?

A good weekend for you too.

I’d like to receive criticism to what I presented instead of you resorting to ad-hominem, please.

inviting a third party to do an independent investigation of a company’s alleged wrongdoings. I never heard of such a thing occurring.

Look into how IMF (International Monetary Fund) does audits and reviews. They don’t do reports proactively. They do it only when invited by a country.

Yes I know you asked for a company but I gave you country. I’ll update if a company name comes to my mind that did exactly what I suggested.
