Actually if anyone has advice I'd love to hear. My server is a b450 mobo with an athlon 320ge. Even with no hard drives spinning it uses 65watts. I don't understand how it is possible. 6 hard drives bring it to 85-90. Running truenas if it matters
I keep it off most of the time to safe power, I was expecting especially with such a cou much lower wattage, like under 20 idle. My assumption is the power supply can't get low enough.
3.3 million is the number of people in the 1%
3.3 is 1% of 330
Both, opposite side man, I'm broke. They're giving way more money than I put in
I've been eyeing returnal but couldn't bring myself to buy it. I want returnal from the list thanks
Pretty much everything you said was said about passenger cars 15 years ago. Can't fix every problem right away. as much as 85% of trucking is under 200 miles (by freight tonnage). This defeatist mentality of 'it won't work for this application, or this application, it'll never change' will always fail as technology and engineering improves.
The Tesla semi proved that fully loaded 450+ mi trucking is not only possible but better in every way, Pepsi is eager to incorporate them and Walmart too. Here's the trick, Walmart and other companies doesn't give a shit about charge times as long as it's manageable, if it ends up saving even a dollar per freight delivery, they will switch. If it never improved and legit took 4 hours per 200 miles, companies will set up relay trucking. Trucking itself will change if technology can't. It's always about money, charge times only bother the driver
True I did not count cost of electricity, because it's extremely hard to guess. Some places are .04$/kwh, some are .45/kwh, some are free. What if you had free charging at work? Or apartment, or had solar, it could be completely free. But let's say you did pay for electricity, average of .12$/kwh, 4mi/kwh, around 12,000$ so half. You spend twice as much for a far slower, much smaller car that needs maintenance 2-4 times a year, and need to waste 15 minutes every week at a gas station (13 hours per year!).
And before I get a "it only takes 3 minutes to fill" bullshit, your not considering the detour time, pull in time, parking time, credit card time, Skip their ads/loyalty shit time, wait for receipt, time to make your turn out of the lot. Go ahead and time it, I'm sure you'll be surprised how much of your life is being wasted while breathing those fumes from gas/exhaust.
Of course there's going to be a market for ev battery repair, and they'll work on Teslas the most/exclusively not because they're bad, but because they're the only significant ev so far. They've sold millions, when the next highest has 200k. Shit can break on anything at any time from any manufacturer.
All Toyotas for years have had 3yr/36,000mi, 5yr/60,000mi powertrain warranty.
Nimh is junk, it is guaranteed to die due to age. It cycles really well but the chemistry inside literally dries out and stops working, 8-10 years. That's probably where a lot of the FUD about lithium batteries come from, lithium batteries degrade slowly. You can check this old blog that gives stats for 10 year higher mileage Teslas, looking at 18% to the high end but usually 8-12%. And those are the early batteries where Tesla was probably cutting as much cost as possible, today's batteries are a bit better.
And Toyota absolutely does put junk into their cars, they put weak engines, weak hybrid motors, bottom tier infotainment, minimum legal warranty. They've been riding their 1980-2000 reliability reputation hard. Not saying they're unreliable, but that reputation is the only thing that sells their cars.
Range does decrease in winter for evs, but it does for gasoline cars too, they don't show the mpg difference on the window sticker either. Tesla has really good thermal management so it generally Loses about 15%, not your 40% claim
The charger is just a few solenoids very simple device, and they don't get switched with current flowing. So probably last forever, for wall mounted hard wired ones at least.

Buy used? I don't understand the argument that they need to be cheaper as new, when you wouldn't have bought new before but now you will for electric? I've had my bolt since COVID started and it's been great. Don't buy leaf tho
Can buy used for 13-17k depending, ~200mi interstate range
Is that a bios or truenas setting? The CPU is only 35 watt max
