The problem with the German automobile industry is that they have this huge portfolio of patents and other types of intellectual property related to the internal combustion engine and all the mechanical parts needed to turn it into a motorcar. Switching to electric cars makes all that i.p. worthless. An electric car is technically much simpler than one with a piston engine, it needs much fewer parts, it's really horrible if you're a car manufacturer making shitloads of money from machines that burn ancient organisms and turn them into speed.
@LordCaramac @wordmark I was always perplexed by teardowns of electric vehicles where it was obvious that the designers didn't realize they could 'factor out' entire categories of components.
Like, you can probably make this -better- without differentials, a transmission, or a lot of that stuff that moves the hot stuff around if you think from the ground up instead of from the perspective of throwing an electric motor where the engine currently sits.
I'm still waiting for a grocery-getter subcompact that has the electric drive built into each wheel.
@DarcMoughty @wordmark When I look at electric car designs, I always wonder why so few of them go with one motor per wheel, built right into the hub. That way, you can just electronically regulate the rotational speed of each wheel separately, no need for any transmission whatsoever. Add another motor for steering to each wheel, and you can even steer all four wheels individually, which means that you can drive sideways if needed, which should make parking much easier. I have to admit, however, that I have never owned or driven a car, never had a driver's license, never took a single driving lesson. I don't like cars, and I have so far managed to get along without driving.
@LordCaramac @DarcMoughty @wordmark I think it'd shake the motor to pieces and/or damage the road, depending on how heavy it gets. That's the usual reason to avoid "unsprung weight". the moving bouncing bits attached to the suspension should be as light as possible
otoh some bikes have hub motors so it'd be perfectly feasible (technically) to have a more bike-derived urban grocerygetter with hub motor. e-quadricycle perhaps
@jackeric @LordCaramac @DarcMoughty @wordmark I think this is right - I saw a YouTube video a few months back by a car company (perhaps Telo?) explaining why they didn't go with hub motors, and unsprung weight was the main reason.
@planettimmy @jackeric @DarcMoughty @wordmark Well, a car that's sufficiently light, small, compact, should be able to work with hub motors. I'm thinking of something like Japanese kei cars or like the small cars European automobile companies used to make before everything started to get bigger and bigger. With four motors, I don't think any single one of those motors would have to be any more powerful than 6kW, bringing the entire car up to 24kW (roughly 32HP), which should be sufficient for a small compact car, it's all the original VW Beetle had.

@LordCaramac @wordmark Truth. I worked for such a German company. They tried to find a niche in electric vehicles, and there are some, but the real cash cow for that company was tires. Plus, they can always simply buy companies that are good at electric vehicles components if the need to. They typically bought 50 to 100 companies a year to get the intellectual property they wanted.
"offering the least amount of actual productivity"
I used to do the weekly productivity reports for a company. A spreadsheet with all the numbers for all the production sites in Holland. The only location without productivity numbers was the location I sent the reports to. They did not appreciate any jokes about that.
but without managers, who would make arbitrary decisions to spend millions on consultants to reorg the company to "Unlock Synergy" and "Accelerate Time to Market" or whatever the buzzwords of the day are.

I only hear people with computers who say "I want to become a farmer, carpentar" etc. You won't here a farmer wanting to be a computer person, It's upto you what you make of this infomation
It's pretty common from people who work in picking fields and lumber to say they envy us for being computer literate so we can move all over and work from anywhere. You need to meet more farmers ^__^
back when I was visiting my village, there, farmers didn't know what computers are used for, so they didn't say these stuff to me, although they were staring at me very curiously when I was using my refurbished thinkpad in middle of the fields 😛
Redox OS Gets COSMIC Reader Working, Other Improvements To This Rust OS

hey are there any stereos/hi-fis on the market that are a) all in one and b) allow me to just like, stick a hard drive or a USB or an SD card full of MP3's in there and have it sort out albums and artwork and such? i really wanna get one for when i move out
1) For something portable, maybe Android DAP as you can sort out your music collection as it still part the Android ecosystem. Will say that it is a expensive route compare to getting 2000s DAP that be much cheaper but you had to manually sort your music library first with metadata. 2) Kodi isn't too bad for listening to music if you want don't mind configuring for first time. More for watching Movie/Show but you can use scrapper plugin which automatically get metadata of your music online. I used my Raspberry Pi and USB Hard Drive for my Kodi setup 3) Think you might heard of that software but MusicBrainz Picard is AMAZING for applying metadata of your music library. I used it for my DAP so it can display album art on my .flac files.
