That’ll be super interesting if it ends up staying that way.

The gpu has been the gaming bottleneck for decades.

So long as they stopped building the ram in and losing $16,000,000,000 in a fiscal year.

Probably because APU’s are getting better and more pc gamers are doing handhelds and apu laptops instead of dedicated desktops. PC gaming has gotten really expensive.

This is a non comparison for at least the next 5 years. A dedicated gpu is still a better choice hands down for gaming. Even going on a lower end build an older gpu will still beat the current best apu by a good amount, but in 10 years time it may not be so necessary to need a gpu over an apu. GPUs are getting too power hungry and expensive. Gamers gonna game, but they won’t all want to spend an ever increasing amount of money to get better graphics, and arc would need at least another 5 years to be competition enough to claim a worthwhile market share from amd or nvidia and that’s wishful thinking. Long time to bleed money on a maybe.

I’d say every other year is pretty close to average.

Well 15 years won’t quite work as well due to cell frequency changes and the occasional fundamental software changes, but people could really stand to keep their phones for like 5 years no problem. New stuff coming out isn’t usually “revolutionary” most of the time. AI isn’t cool enough to want right now, and picture stuff only ever gets a minor improvement. Same for battery life or screen quality.

Your screen name looks a bit wonky.

Come back in a year or so and we’ll see who has to eat their words.

Everything takes r and d. Also, it’s not “custom solar panels” anymore if you’re ordering 10,000 of them. The article stated that supposedly they have a ton of pre orders of sorts. Custom means a one off, or even a few dozen of something. Not thousands.

That’ll help keep it as light as they’re planning. They still won’t get 45 miles a day on solar unless they’re doing 15mph on a flat road in Nevada during the summer. No way would it be an expected rating.

I mean, it’d be cool to get a couple miles of range here and there without having to plug in. Could make for a nice little errand vehicle in a smaller city where there aren’t trees or tall buildings to block light and you just park in a driveway or apartment parking lot. If say the battery itself would be big enough for an 80 mile range, I could see some people never having to plug this car in.

It’ll come down to price, of course. If it’s cheap, it could be cool and useful. If it’s expensive, it’s a novelty and would have no practical reasoning to be purchased.

The Honda civics in the 1980’s weighed around 800 or so kg as well. You know one of the reasons they got heavier? Crash ratings and safety features.

So once again I’m calling bs that they will get 45 miles out of this. Even if they got it classified as a motorcycle and scape around the car safety requirements, it still won’t get a real world 45 miles a day from solar charging. Your math will never add up to that.

I’m not believing they’ll get even close to that in a production vehicle that’s US street legal.

Oh. That absolutely won’t happen. You’ll be losing battery power while you’re driving around.

They can make all solar vehicles that will go and keep going as long as there’s sunshine, but they aren’t anything a regular person could use.

Yes, but with a light and efficient vehicle, along with enough area covered in solar, it should be able to get you about 15 miles of free travel when left out on a sunny day. It has a battery. It isn’t just running on sunshine and lollipops.

Really, it just takes an infinite amount of monkeys one time.

So you’re saying there’s a chance.

The data will have to be there for sorting reasons and such, so this is just an extra nod to using an app like Grayjay, which will almost assuredly still pull the data and display it for you to see.

Ask them how they feel about marrying someone outside of their caste.

Saying Florida is a shit-hole doesn’t mean I just hate anyone that comes from Florida. I’ve vacationed a time or two in that shit-hole.
