Electric cars will certainly be quieter at low speed but they will still be noisy at higher speed due to tire noise dominating. Lower speed limits in cities would help here significantly.
The article is talking about Tesla’s home batteries, not their EVs.
In terms of EVs and vehicle to grid, I think people will have to crunch the numbers to see if it’s worth it, and that will likely depend on how the future electric market is designed, whether they can tolerate reduced range, how often they replace their cars etc. In the short to medium term, some might decide that exposing themselves to the wholesale market through Amber Electric or similar may be worth it, although there is a lot of room for improvements on all fronts.
Although I suspect EVs will become so cheap that people will be willing to risk some amount of degradation, and if nothing else, people could use their old EVs exclusively as batteries, once they are no longer useful on the road.
I think it would struggle to have the bandwidth to pull that off, but maybe if you keep the resolution and refresh rate down. And that’s assuming USB-C to USB-A would work in this case, which I don’t know the answer to.
Pretty much every first party Nintendo game, especially Mario and the Zelda series. I’ve had some enjoyment from the 2D era Zelda games at least, but have yet to finish any of them as they just don’t seem to hold my attention.
I’ll reserve my judgement on the most recent Zelda game as I understand it’s quite different from the classic 3D and 2D games, but I don’t have any particular desire to give Nintendo money given their increasingly lawyer heavy behaviour.
If you want to use the PI as a router you’ll probably end up with a double NAT situation which isn’t ideal but may work well enough. In terms of wifi performance, I wouldn’t expect a Pi to be particularly good here so I’m not sure this even worth it unless it’s just a budget issue and you don’t have any other options.
In terms of your problem, you should be able to assign the Pi ethernet port to the default WAN and WAN6 networks. As for wifi, the Pi adapter needs to have support for AP mode, and looking around it doesn’t seem clear if the built in wifi adapter supports that or not (most people using the Pi are using it purely as a router and not a wireless AP). If not, you’d need a USB wifi adapter that supports AP mode. You might want to get that additional ethernet adapter too for testing/debugging and it will allow you to add a dedicated wireless AP.
It’s nice not to deal with HTTPS warnings etc and as you said it’s more convenient to access by domain name rather than remembering port numbers. You should be able to technically achieve the latter in another way by using docker and configuring it to assign a real IP for each service (a bridge network presumably), then setting each service to use port 80 externally. But that’s probably as much work as just setting up a reverse proxy.
And if you’re concerned about exposing ports, you can use DNS challenge which doesn’t require opening port 80 on your router.
Sure, there could be exceptions and I’m operating under the assumption that viable alternatives to driving already exist so people can get to work. Most of those driving based careers require specialised licences already I would assume (I’m not from the US), so that could be worked into the hypothetical legislation.
Higher license requirements would help, but could be hard to enforce depending on the implementation. Beyond that, we are back to road design issues which may well be a better way to solve all this. Make roads and cars so safe that even a drunk person won’t kill themselves or others (including pedestrians and cyclists), and then you’ve got a well designed system.
