This is all pretty much out in the open. We have a pretty clear idea on where they stand and what are still open issues. One word: heat shield. That’s probably the bit where they’re furthest away from a definite solution. And the reliability of those raptors is also a huge issue. Just look at the fire in the booster after the catch today. So yeah, great achievement, long way to go.

Weight. It always comes down to weight. Landing legs will add a lot of extra weight.

I’d rather store my food in Jeffrey Dahmer’s fridge than my money with Elon Musk’s company.

I agree but public perception does not. Which of course is a result of years of relentless propaganda.

That would be QuantumScape. It seems like they are well on the way to commercialisation but with stuff like that it’s always “I’ll believe it when i see it”.

The conversion business is held back right now by high battery prices. Once those come down, it will take on a whole new dynamic.

Depends on who you ask. The main advantage is better cycle life and being able to charge faster. That will address the concerns most people have about EVs. There will also be advantages in energy density and manufacturing cost but right now it’s really difficult to say where we’ll land in that regard.

Once solid state batteries are produced at scale it will truly be game over for ICE vehicles. Meanwhile the European and US manufacturers just whine and cry for protectionism while sitting on their hands.

People might not want to make it obvious that they support Nazi shit. This will make it easier for them to do so covertly.

Actually, those that don’t have a choice aren’t affected by the enshittification quite as much. This mainly affects the consumers using Windows Home. And those definitely could try something else.

My reaction too. Next thing they’ll have a hand reach out from the monitor and slap you in the face every time you log on. And people will still put up with it.

It definitely does.

I would never trust any recommendations of any people I know.

I’m going to use Linux even harder now!

I have a feeling that this year is going to be the year of the Linux desktop.

We’re all on a list now.
