What do you expect from running 10 and more amperes through a cord?
Well , I expect enough engineering behind it that the cord and connections don't melt. I am an auto electrician, I routinely deal with 12v systems that draw much more than that without melting, using connections that aren't much bigger. It's not like it's some mystical technology, it's just that this setup has been done on a budget.
But it doesn't help that every single logic gate in a graphics card is run at a speed/currents that are literally just below meltdown.
Inertia, mostly.
Of course Plex then takes advantage of that with the slow erosion of the free edition.
It's difficult on the back end of the charger as well.
A shopping centre or rest stop can't just spring for a few high capacity chargers for the car park. A single megawatt charger is 50 houses worth of consumption, so they now need a substation upgrade to provide what is basically a whole neighbourhood-equivalent of power.

Well, I did delete a company-mandated image from the bottom of my signature after I realised that it made even just a one-line "Thanks" email balloon out to 800kb.
You've got it all wrong, in traditional computer terminology the "hard drive" is the box that sits under the desk that collects cat fluff and cigarette tar.

There is an empirical way of doing it - best one I've seen online so far is this:
I don't understand it. If I was a politician right now, I would not, under any circumstances, hitch my political wagon to the shitshow that is going on in the US. But Dutton and that "Trumpet of Patriots" crowd - bless their 1950's White Australia hearts - are all for it.
Labor would be wise to stall the election for a month or two, just to let things unfold a bit more over there.
It doesn't have to be "buy local", per se, it just has to be "buy non-US". But there are few tangible things I actually buy from the US. I don't mind stuff from the EU, it's a little pricey due to our exchange rate, but for the things I buy it's generally OK.
There are heaps of services that are bought from the US though - just about every streaming service, Google/Apple, Starlink, and so on. Those can fuck right off , if possible. Sometimes that's not practical (eg google/apple's ecosystem), but at least have a look for alternatives.
They aim to actively deorbit starlink sats.
(Edit: they keep a small amount of propellant in reserve for the initial deorbit burn, and then position the solar array to give maximum drag which hastens things considerably)
As far as I know, apart from the first few batches, the "production run" of sats has a pretty low failure rate and are proactively sent to their demise.
It's because the two most important metrics of EVs , range + performance, aren't visible.
And - let's be honest here - those metrics are mostly the same across manufacturers due to battery limitations.
So they have to overcompensate with style to stand out from that other EV that uses the same base platform and the same battery chemistry and the same charging system and etc etc.
rustfmt
is stopping me from writing code like this, and I have never been more happier using it after viewing this.
Everything else is rarely equal though. As can be evidenced by decades of >5% rates.
Currently interest rates affect QOL so much because everyone is mortgaged up to their eyeballs. That isn't normal but unfortunately the policies that have promoted that are beyond the RBAs scope.
So yes , lower interest rates help QOL but they also promote inflation and that's a much harder beast to reign in once it gets up and rolling - for example, we're never going to get back the cumulative 25% increase in the cost of living we've been hit with in the last 4 years or so.
And calling the RBAs response "bizarre" - when we are in a period where caution might be a good idea due to contradictory economic indicators - just seems a bit hyperbolic.
People don't just leave leaking apps out there for consumption.
Ha! Welcome to corporate, where vendors sell you software and say that the hardware has to have 128GB of ram and when you poke around a bit you discover a single JVM with constantly growing memory usage with a script that restarts it every time it runs out of resources.
AND a log file that describes - in typical Java excruciating detail - the precise lines in each module where the devs allocated resources but didn't free them. About 40 times a second.
I loaded the video, paused, jump jump jump jump jumped through the timeline looking at the thumbnail images, about 5 seconds of actual playback while I watched them mess it up, more minor adjustments in the timeline, paused for 15 seconds at the thing I actually wanted, closed the video.
Good luck getting any kind of decent metrics out of that.
I can skim documents at 800 words a minute, they are mostly nicely arranged and indexed/sectioned. Compare that to videos where half the words are "um, so", and it's no wonder I prefer text.
Lol between the top paragraph and the bottom one the number of partners increased by 23. I wonder how many partners they have now?
Today I had the pleasure of trying to search for how to shift a chartjs array and finally had to try and watch a "tutorial video" where they allegedly discussed it.
Cut to me clicking around just trying to find the screenshot where they are actually doing the thing that I want to do, and then they proceed to fuck up its usage three times with much scrolling back and forth through their example code that they didn't show in full anywhere and rapidly clicking between windows while they got their shit together.
I just wanted to see like, three lines of code.
Maybe I should have just asked chatgpt.

Motor oil tastes funny.
It's pretty simple:
- USA and Russia have public talks and say they have a "good solution".
- Ukraine says ,"We are not interested in a solution negotiated by a third party and the aggressor in this conflict"
- USA says "oh look Ukraine isn't coming to the party here these negotiations were in good faith we can't believe how they're acting we are withdrawing support."
- Ukraine gets stomped on, USA and Russia divvy up the spoils of war.
Lots of expensive industrial equipment runs these kinds of processors still. You can still buy motherboards with 8 bit ISA slots even, although you'll pay quite a premium.
But all of that kind of gear typically runs its own distro with an in-house build system. For example, my work uses a flavour of Buildroot for their embedded Linux systems and you can just set whatever processor type you like all the way back to plain old i386 when you build it.
