Looking forward to being able to install a flavor of BSD and having Wayland and KDE Plasma just work without all the faffing around.

Good!

The numbers I’ve seen: LFP: mid 90s Sodium: low to mid 80s

LFP seems better for cars unless you live in an area that deals with extreme cold. Sodium is better (cheaper) for fixed, large quantity storage where energy density is not as critical and lower efficiency is an acceptable trade off for lower price.

They are cheaper and the low temperature performance is better than LFP, but the round trip efficiency is less than LFP.

Why is Red on the left and Blue on the right? Don’t tell the MAGA crowd or they will try to pass another law…

Big tech is hooked on having two revenue streams. One from product sales, one from customer information sales. Why would they willingly give one up?

The main problem with A.I. isn’t that it can’t be a useful tool, it is that the creators can’t resist the urge to take the opportunity to hoover up every bit of data they can from the users. That and they are spending billions of dollars in A.I. creation. You don’t spend that kind of money to help your employees do their jobs, you spend that money to replace your employees.

Anything Google has no privacy. Same with MicroSoft & Meta.

Glad it helped you.

VPN, Visa gift card, Linux.

They lost me at “A.I.”.

Cookies? Who still accepts those?

It doesn’t seem like that big of an update. Unless you need something listed in the release notes, you can stay where you are. I am running 21.3. It is good until 2026. My configuration is a bit complex and I hate spending the time to update.
