Indian voters are battling sweltering conditions to take part in the world’s biggest election as a severe heat wave hits parts of the country and authorities forecast a hotter-than-normal summer for the South Asian nation....
I can answer that as an Indian casually in the market for an EV. The infrastructure isn’t really as good as western countries. Charging stations aren’t easy to find outside of major highways, and they aren’t as visible.
For intra-city users:
EVs are considerably more expensive than ICEs and India is a very price-sensitive market. The biggest successes for EVs here are Tata Nexons, for example. The ICE version starts at almost half the price of the EV.
Buyers will compare and run the numbers and unless you use it a lot, it can go either way. That combined with the iffy infrastructure is enough to make many people just go for ICE right now, in the hope that their next car will be an EV, when prices come down and tech is next-gen.
It is bound to happen. Prices are falling and more EVs are on the road, but it hasn’t reached critical mass yet.
Also, BYDs are actually quite expensive here compared to home grown solutions. Check the Tata EV range out.
Another factor that you’re overlooking is that India has a huge market of 2 wheelers, 3 wheelers and mini trucks. That’s a space where EVs make a lot of sense. They pay for themselves the more you use them.
So in food delivery, logistics, courier services etc., there’s already a very noticeable shift in motion, and that’s promising.
SD cards don’t perform wear leveling while ssds do. This is why there are specific SD cards meant for surveillance cameras. They have additional wear levelling circuitry at the expense of speed.
So photographers who fill up their sd cards end up writing over the same spots repeatedly and wear them out.
Just a warning to anyone interested in the coming eclipse. Avoid the glasses sold at Canadian Tire. I just bought two pairs of eclipse glasses at Canadian Tire. I decided to test them right after I got outside and immediately noticed an issue. Both glasses have a hazy appearance around the sun....
Just cause 4. I loved fooling around in JC3 and almost 100%ed it a couple of years back, barring some challenges I couldn’t find. I’ve read so much about 4 being a downgrade that i didn’t bother.
I had it on gamepass though and tried it a week ago. The cut scenes are atrocious but the story is compelling enough, and the villains actually seem more interesting. Other than the graphics, the actual art design is pretty good and it’s a good change of pace through a South American setting.
I visited 3 stores looking for the pixels 7a. One of these stores (best buy) sells it at a 20% discount for only 2 weeks, brand new, 128 GB, so I may go for it to buy and nuke to install graphene OS, then relock it....
Looking to buy a new controller, currently have Xbox One but the thing is I don’t really like the sticks on these controllers, the way they push in and out means they don’t glide smoothly, I’ve used the Elite controllers and they don’t have this issue but $200+ is a little steep, so does anyone make a good controller...
Others have already recommended it but want to pitch in; my 8bitdo pro is the best I’ve used (others I have are the DS4, xbox, a few Logitechs including the submarine one, and a fancy-ass Astro).
That’s an interesting example. Here in my city there was a case of a transport officer crashing his car into someone. He smelled of alcohol and was slurring and it was in the news cycle with great outrage and irony.
A few days later news broke that he had died of diabetes-related complications. Apparently the smell was not alcohol, it was ketones from him being hyperglycemic.
Going back to your “standards” statement, for an individual it would make sense not to get into a car this person drives. At the same time it makes sense for the court not to convict him until he is proven guilty. Both standards have their place and rightfully so.
Not hybrid watches but Garmin watches have a passive LCD screen that is readable under reflected light and the app is excellent, albeit proprietary.
I have a Fossil hybrid and Garmin Instinct and wear the instinct most of the time. I find the Fossil app too basic and it drains battery. I have heard about an open source app that can sync to them however.
Yes this is what I want to do. My question is how docker manages shared processes between these apps (for example, if app1 uses mysql and app2 also uses mysql).
Does it take up the RAM of 2 mysql processes? It seems wasteful if that’s the case, especially since I’m on a low-RAM VPS. I’m getting conflicting answers, so it looks like I’ll have to try it out and see.
That was my impression as well. But since I’m on a low-RAM VPS any overhead in RAM adds up, and I wanted to know how process deduplication works before I get into it.
