I’m guessing there’s a big crux here for both windows and phones. Article says ten times tougher than glass and several times stronger…but wood is not HARD. Hardness is what resists scratching. Something that scratches easily will knock it out of a lot of useful scenarios. I’d imagine most things you’d want to be clear you wouldn’t need the extra strength for, or would want it to not show scratches.
Fuck. It’s gained sentience.
Canada has dead zones, my man. I’m stabbing a guess, but im sure China does as well.
Really, the argument I’m seeing from you just reeks of you being incredibly naive.
Here’s all the 5g coverage info of Canada that proves your full of crap, BTW.

You’d think they’d at least try to make it not look like an ad, at least.
You mean you just read this advertisement?
Then made a comment that sure looks like a 2nd advertisement for it?
I hear Splunk is nice. I don’t see them having to place thinly veiled advertisements on social media.
I guess it’s pretty cheap to run stealth ads like this on lemmy, since you only need like 20 up votes to get on everyone’s front page.
There you go. You keep talking about things being cheaper “in the future”. Well you don’t live in the future, buddy. EVs have been here for over a decade and they’ve only gotten more expensive to replace batteries in. Not less, and unlike many other bits of tech, this has a finite and predictable lifespan that is too short and too expensive for something that currently does too little to help the environment. The government forcing their sale right now is a dumb move.
If you aren’t an engineer working with ev batteries or othe rechargeablebatteries, your opinion has no weight. Too many cells will not hold/take a charge. Old batt in a high mileage vehicle.
A wasn’t considering a lose connection or a wire short to be a motor issue, but there’s no way anyone is going to do a great job of re-winding the motor of an EV. Have you seen those stater windings?! They’re way too close together and too precise to do by hand. I’d be willing to bet those machines that do it cost about as much as my house, too.
Oh. It’s political. You think the far right will approve of “playing god” with Gene editing? Remember the shitstorm that stem cells caused like 15 or so years ago?
About damn time.
Motor oil doesn’t get disposed of. It just gets recycled, for the most part.
Yeah, but parts are usually cheaper on the ice by far. If the motor of an ev goes out, you’re pretty much just stuck replacing it completely.
Lol. Why is that? As mentioned by me somewhere in this thread, I’m a fan of hybrids. Great gas mileage and the small batteries are easy and much more affordable to replace.
Never said it would.
Funny enough, I haven’t seen one chime in, yet. But since less than 1 in 1000 people happen to be ev engineers, that would still put me well within the top 1%, even with them above me. As for me, I just started up working on a bad ev battery just today. Find me your engineer. They won’t disagree with me. No one who designs rechargeable batteries of any kind would. They aren’t stupid.
In the future, evs will have better batteries, which has been my entire point. This is now, and now, evs are more expensive to insure.
You don’t replace coolant because it stops cooling or looses it’s ability to not freeze. It lubricates less effectively and can slowly start to pick up electrical currents over long periods of time. So you still need to change it. If you want to have that one over an ice vehicle though, then I guess “oh noooo. I have to spend $25 every 7 years and replace my radiator fluid”
Tires are less about pollution to me and more about the cost, but either way, you only brought it up because you wanted to complain about me pointing it out, and it being true, and how dare I bring up something true? Whatever, man. You think you’re part of this big thing to help the environment, but really you’re just naive and jumping on a bandwagon that’s forcing something before it’s actually going to be beneficial. Most every ev built today is going to be a net loss on the environment. We need clean energy first, then battery tech for EV’s (this may be just a few years away if a couple different auto manufacturers aren’t blowing smoke about their solid state batteries) and we need a charging infrastructure.
Full evs will fill a landfill in 15 years time and need an entire new car to be built to replace it. New 1500 lbs of lithium and Cobalt and nickel battery as well to be mined.
You want to help the environment you’d be doing far more by installing solar on your roof and buying an ice vehicle than you would be by buying an EV with today’s battery tech in it. How “green” they are is only skin deep right now. That will change later when more electricity is from renewable sources and batteries in EV’s improve beyond what they’re at using heavy li po chemistry. But that’s later. Not now.
It won’t ever be your cell phone screen. Optically, it’s less clear than what we have, and while the wood/epoxy is “tough”, wood is not “hard”. It will scratch easily.
