Στην Αυστραλία, η κυβέρνηση κοιτάει να φέρει σχέδιο για να υπάρχει 3 ώρες δωρεάν ρεύμα τα μεσημέρια στους καταναλωτές ως κίνητρο για την απορρόφηση της επιπλέον παραγωγής από τα Φ/Β.
Για να γίνει κάτι τέτοιο και εδώ θα πρέπει πρώτα να μπουν επιτέλους οι ψηφιακοί μετρητές κατανάλωσης ανά ώρα.

Πόσο μπορώ να βασιστώ σε αγορά μεταχειρισμένου EV;
Παρά πολύ είναι η απάντηση από τα στοιχεία της αγοράς μεταχειρισμένων ηλ. αυτοκινήτων.

Προσωπικά πήρα μεταχειρισμένο ηλεκτρικό (BEV, δηλαδή μόνο μπαταρία) στα 78.000 χλμ και σε ένα χρόνο και κάτι έφτασε τα 117.000 χλμ.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Not in 2030, but in May 2025, the Yimin Mine in Inner Mongolia deployed 100 fully autonomous electric trucks (90-tonne load) with autonomously operated hot-swappable batteries and depot—managed entirely by 5G. Operating in –40°C, this milestone blows away skeptics. The future is now.⚡🛻 #EV #Autonomy

New #Commodore 64 Ultimate just dropped (preorders are open). Seems like a combination of the new breadbin cases, the new 64 Ultimate board and the new CBMstuff keyboard. Limited to 264000. Pricing seems very reasonable, too. Well done, new Commodore crew! I can definitely get behind that one. 👍

Last Sunday a meteor was spotted over Western Australia in the evening. Using the reports as well as the Desert Fireball Network cameras, they were able to determine the likely fall area of the meteorite.
Amateur meteorite hunter Marcus Scott spotted one of the fragments embedded in the salt lake.

This is bonkers: a 108-gigapixel scan of Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring. Each pixel is 1.3 microns in size (1000 microns = 1mm). At full zoom, the tiny cracks in the paint look like canyons. [kottke.org]
What?! 108-Gigapixel Scan of Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring.
Several years ago, digital microscope technology company Hirox collaborated with The Mauritshuis museum to create a 10-gigapixel scan of Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring. Recently, Hirox upped the game

I knew about the changes in China and I’m still totally blown away by what I’m seeing. The air is clean right in the middle of Shanghai, with a population of 29.9 million. Tens of thousands of electric scooters as well as busses, vans, taxis and cars. It’s very quiet and not stinky.

The stupidity in Trump’s new tariffs is apparently limitless.

He has introduced a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory.

The only inhabited island there is Diego Garcia, home to US service personnel.

TRUMP HAS PUT A TARIFF ON A US MILITARY BASE
