We'll take our expensive luxury EVs with 2 miles a charge and like them...er I mean buy giant pickup trucks instead that use 20 gallons of gas / mile while the world burns.

So here's a dumb question. Why don't we just plant the fastest growing carbon eatingest trees...everywhere. Now? Seems simpler to use a plant instead of a Plant.

Each state is varying levels of stupid. One of the few times where the existence of the Federal government makes sense. They should ban the bans at the Federal level.

So glad my state banned the ability for HOAs to do that.

Oh man, totally. Local HVAC peeps try to claim heat pumps are super expensive and omg stay away...even though it's just an AC that goes both ways. Probably scared of the cut into their gas furnace maintenance revenue.

The compressors on full house-scale non-split heat pumps are same power draw as AC units, which is many amps more than the peanuts a furnace fan uses, but if OP has an AC unit, the heat pump also replaces it.
I get the complexity though. If I want to upgrade my home to have service for charging electric cars, and all electric heat/cool, the amperage draw is high enough that it would require an upgrade from "consumer"-level to "business"-level power input.

All that money will keep them safe from the mad max, of course. /s
These hedge fund types are near-sighted idiots with horse blinders that can't see beyond the next quarter.

America's entire Capitalist model is based on 3-month cycles of amnesia. It is designed to forget. Business could be run successful, profitable, and non-asshole, but the hunt for the next quarterly positive shareholder report by design blinds them permanently from comprehending history.

It started with requiring larger antennas, then larger batteries. LTE was super inefficient, and low frequency bands need large antennas.
Then the industry tried to push tablets and smartphones to sell more devices. Most people settled on a single device, the large smartphone that already exists and forego the tablet. In a lot of cases forego the computer as well.
Somewhere in the middle, the industry self-proclaimed that people obviously prefer large smartphones, when there were no small ones available anymore.
...and here we are.

That worked out great for Apple, Microsoft, and others. Good luck, Amazon.

Wouldn't that be nifty. So many less things would have to exist as well.

Huh, tell that to all the laid off engineers that corpo thinks will be replaced with AI. There have been constant layoffs over the last couple of years in all sorts of industries.
Reducing the seats at the table to then claim the table is full, and thusly successful, is not honest, nor accurate.

That's great until you get hit by a car and can't remember shit, or your family has to deal with handling your end of life and the only password record was in a blob of tissue in your skull.
Passwords in general are dumb and should cease to exist, though.

I think the spec for wearable/embedded was finally finalized in the last year or so, but this may be one of the first chips heading in that direction.

Gateway drug to eventually wearable and embedded. Weird that they start with a hotspot for weak performing chipsets.

Sometimes the future is really, really, really really...dumb.
The Dinosaur Fire near NCAR coincided with a heat wave and severe drought in Boulder County. ‘We don’t have a ton of concern for public safety at this time,’ said Jennifer Ciplet, public information officer with the City of Boulder, around 1:30 p.m. However, officials are urging nearby residents to have a ‘go bag’ ready in case conditions change.
