2/2 #Batteries and #AdvancedEnergyTechnologies can be. We are already advancing in these areas enough on our own to solve some very pressing problems(if not for constant obstruction via greed and politics). Many of the leaps within our reach have had and will have zero dependency on #AI. So distance between generations of new technology is also increasing.What kind of infrastructure do we build to support those futures ? It’s the same one we need to understand and grow as worthy partners overall

Millions of people are buying electricity from the grid when it's cheap or generating it using solar panels for free, then storing it in batteries for a few hours before selling it back to the grid when prices are high. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/09/04/markets/energy-selling-electricity-ai-batteries/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #markets #energy #electricity #batteries #utilities #uk #tech #ai #solar #wind #renewables #electricvehicles

I scored two brand new 5kWh batteries, but I need to strip the built in proprietary electronics for my own, so I can tie it into all the rest of the house batteries. So these shiny new BMS with built in active balancing will do the trick! #solar #batteries #renewables

Subject: complaint about cargo-culting audiophools and the #marketers that exploit them

I saw a new #scam yesterday. Well, new to me. It's probably been around forever.

There are many, many #fraudulent products and ideas out there that target the self-described "audiophiles". And because such #audiophools never do double-blind tests, they always convince themselves of just how well the #scammy products work ("you are the easiest person for you to fool").

Examples of long standing:

Super-thick "oxygen-free copper" #cables for #speakers or #interconnects, being sold at 100x the price of regular cables.

Electrically shielded fiber-optic cables (!).

Paint pens to colour in the outer edge of CDs and DVDs.

Systems to run your equipment from #batteries so as not to contaminate them with that dirty mains #AC.

#Tubes / #valves instead of solid-state #amplification.

... and on and on.

Well, yesterday I was looking for some opamps (tiny little chips, used everywhere), and came across a place selling replacement #opamps for use inside stereo equipment. You can get perfectly good designed-for-audio opamps of good quality for a few bucks each. Upgrading your equipment to better opamps sometimes made sense in the 1970s, but not now. The ones used from the factory are fine.

But no, this one was selling fancy opamps, designed for *RF* use, not audio, which normally cost $10-20 each, in fancy little metal packages, for hundreds of dollars apiece.

Non à la voiture électrique jetable !

En progrès rapides, les performances des #batteries pourraient permettre aux voitures électriques de dépasser la durée de vie des véhicules à #moteur #thermique, explique “The Atlantic”. Encore faut-il que les constructeurs en finissent avec des stratégies d’obsolescence programmée inspirées de celles que mettent en œuvre les entreprises #technologiques.
