Absolutely not, if we take into account all the factors that harm the planet's ecology, from the creation of batteries and electric vehicles, to their disposal and generation of energy for them, and the harm from the development of these means of generating electricity. Green energy is essentially unprofitable without subsidies, as is the growing failure of sales, because fanatics with money ended and ordinary people began, able and forced to count money. And then it turned out that the internal combustion engine absolutely wins.

The transport tax on electric vehicles should be at least 2-3 times higher due to the obvious much greater damage to road surfaces from cars with a much larger operating weight. No amount of wider tires will solve this problem. Therefore, it is inevitable - owners of electric vehicles everywhere will pay higher transport taxes and this is correct.

They are also required to pay for environmental damage in countries where lithium and all other ingredients are mined and processed.

If you factor in all environmental damage, cradle to grave, ICE cars do far more damage.

Fossil fuels are essentially unprofitable without government subsidies or protections.

PS A gallon of oil does more environmental damage than a gallon of lithium

Asus can dream about getting new users with all the s*** publicity they're creating for themselves with dismal service and warranty scams.

Quote from: George on Yesterday at 21:42:38It might be worth noting (guessing!) what the frustration with Nintendo is?

If I were to take a guess:
a) Nvidia offered a much more powerful & efficient SoC for the Switch 2 for only slightly more but Nintendo said no.

Previously when the original Switch launched it really had no peers or competitors - so it didn't matter as much. But now there's Apple releasing triple A games on iPhone, success of steam deck, AMD building increasingly more powerful iGPUs in their mobile APUs such as used by ROG Ally and future strix successor handhelds, Intel working on lunar lake, the continued interest by multiple partners/OEMs in building future successor handhelds in a new and growing market- Valve, ASUS, Lenovo, MSI etc.

b) they still aren't taking orders of the custom silicon Tegra Orin chip that was completely years ago. Nintendo is just sitting there, refusing to take orders and keeps on selling original switch h/w based on Tegra X1. At this point the arch is so old Nvidia probably does not want to even produce it anymore and is forced to keep such factories online solely pretty much only for Nintendo. They probably feel it was an almost wasted effort investing all that time, money and resources for R&D on custom silicon only for it to not really show up anywhere in timely manner.

Also makes Nvidia look bad and they don't like losing, at least not on their home turf (which used to be gaming). But Nintendo have delayed it so much that by the time it releases it will almost put Nvidia in a bad showing or light. People may think Nvidia isn't as premium of graphics brand anymore, at least not when it comes to mobile graphics for handhelds.

In all honesty tho, Nvidia is making so much from data center AI atm, that I don't think they're too worried or concerned and this is largely just gossip that isn't true. They're making way more money than Nintendo from non-gaming revenue alone. Could completely quit gaming graphics division for 5 years and then come back with the trillions they've now.

But I guess better to be safe than sorry. Nvidia does not want to make the same mistake as Intel. AI bubble won't last forever. There's only so many RTX 4090 buyers out there and due to current economic conditions not everyone is comfortable dropping $2.5k on laptops just to game. There is a massive potential market for <$699 device to run pc games well, which Nintendo isn't catering to and Nvidia sees it.

Will they release the power bank with compatibility for different sockets and outlets besides the North America one. I live in the UK and want a power bank that works with SuperVOOC. I have been using OnePlus phones since 2018 and I really like them because of being the only company I know that uses an alert slider similar to the former mute switch iPhones used to have till they got rid of it last year as well as the fact that flagship smartphones from Samsung coat a lot more and OnePlus uses the processor in their flagship which costs a lot less and has more storage and significantly faster charging. Even the OnePlus Fold cost $100 less than the latest Samsung fold at the time and was much better in every way and it had 512GB storage and 16GB RAM for the base model and Samsung's base model had 256GB and 12GB

Ich warte lieber darauf, dass der MINISFORUM V3 auf den Markt kommt, der 1.300 € kostet und sich an alle Eigenschaften anpasst, die ich an einem Desktop-PC habe, aber mit nur 1 kg Gewicht, ich habe die Kommentare auf YouTube gesehen und es hat mich sehr überrascht

Strohdoof diese KI mit den vielen Aliasen, welche KI bewirbt! Gerade noch ausgesagt, das Minisforum V3 gekauft zu haben. Nun wieder die Leier, darauf zu warten, um es endlich kaufen zu können.

NBC, ihr tut euch keinen Gefallen damit, KI-Spam hier zu tolerieren!

Thank you so much !!!! i just comment to say that.
