You can get all that locally without having everything hoovered to the cloud.


Some day, HBO, Paramount, Discovery, Hulu, ESPN, Disney, and all the other streamers and over-the-air networks will join to offer a single price bundle, and then we’ll have…



Haha. As a consultant, I worked on a crapton of IoT projects. Not a single one could explain WHY they needed all that data. If you’re just storing user actions, it’s not really useful, or actionable.
I made coffee at 8:03 am on Tuesday, did laundry at 2:39.873 pm on a Saturday, or opened the fridge door at 6pm and closed it at 6:02pm.
So what.


Those wide, protected bike lanes 😍

That was old AI.
New AI uses a complex, multi-layer sequence of Magic 8-balls.


It could be corrosion, but none of the nearby contacts are affected. If the battery got splashed, odds are the other contacts may have also gotten some. But they all look ok. Given how extreme it is, I’d consider arcing, which could involve bad grounding or shorting somewhere. It’s hard to see if the plastic around it has been damaged or not. If yes, then it’s definitely some sort of spark.
Replacing the contact should be fairly easy if you can get the part. But you might want to go upstream and check the individual cells and contacts. Many of these batteries are clusters of 18650 cells. Easy to swap out. If there is any sign of damage to the internal battery contacts, then you might want to replace the contacts AND the cells.
Simple soldering ($20 soldering pen and material) and a wire brush. $30 multimeter to check for continuity and voltage/current levels.

You go inside gas stations because you HAVE to, not because you WANT to. Same with EVs.


Pretty good story and acting. They’ve nicely painted themselves into a corner with Hal Jordan being shot dead.
Let’s see if they blow it with a dream sequence, alien deus ex-machina, or multiverse bullshit.


Early Baker Electrics had a ‘boat tiller’ style steering and accelerator. This meant you sat on the back bench seat and drove. The tiller was in the middle so you could sit on either side.
They were very popular with physicians, who did home visits, were often in a hurry, and didn’t want to get their hands dirty cranking to start a gas-powered car.
