In addition to the other comments about it being just as quick, if not faster and easier to get a consistent heat, I also found the noise level was way better - it’ll hum if the pan isn’t centered properly, and the power is turned up, but when simmering, it’s pretty much silent which was weird but suprisingly nice.

The latest season of Futurama actually illustrated this, that due to time being relative you can just slow down the simulation to reduce the requirement to run at a 1:1 performance ratio with our current environment.
It also describes that someone from flatland wouldn’t be able to tell that they’re missing out on a dimension, or quality, because it’s their only frame of reference.

Definitely not scientific in approach, but it is thought provoking around the possibility of a simulated existence.

I’ve only had 1 phone in the last 10 years that didnt wirelessly charge, and there’s zero chance I’d buy a phone without it again. And I’m really hoping qi2 starts appearing in phones next year.

I don’t understand the need for super fast charging, like it’s handy if you’re on the run and forgot about it, but I need more charging than my phone does, so it’s no issue to just plonk it on a stand when I’m resting…

Looking at Tesla’s support the US is crippled by the 120v power grid for wall charging, 3 Miles per hour on a standard 120v plug, and 23kmh on an Australian 240v 15A plug.

And not to mention it was water ingress into the bloody batteries, they’re lucky (or maybe unlucky in this case) that the car didn’t burn down from the Lithium…

HMD Global is a Finnish company, run by ex-Nokia executives. It’s pretty nuch the old Nokia, seperated enough to not bankrupt the original company if it goes bad.

The phones are no more Chinese than Google and Apple.

Likewise, pay for full Nitro, I can afford it and it’s a platform I use frequently and enjoy, I’m glad they let others who can’t pay for Nitro have a pretty much equivalent service for free.

It’s not free to run a platform, and it’s unreasonable to demand everything for free. It could be more reasonably priced (basic is not too bad), but honestly I’m okay with subsidising others for something like this.

Same here, for my ISP it’s no extra charge, they just ask you why you’re opting out
