  8. Xe điện có thực sự dễ bốc cháy hơn xe chạy xăng? Theo số liệu nghiên cứu, xe điện KHÔNG dễ bốc cháy hơn so với xe dùng động cơ đốt trong. Tỷ lệ cháy ở xe điện còn thấp hơn nhiều do được trang bị hệ thống an toàn hiện đại và kiểm soát nhiệt nghiêm ngặt.

  10. Chung cư cấm xe điện: Nỗi lo an toàn và quản lý từ các đơn vị vận hành. Nhiều chung cư từ chối cho xe máy điện, xe đạp điện vào vì nguy cơ cháy nổ, khó kiểm soát và chi phí giám sát cao. Dù xe điện thân thiện môi trường, nhưng hạ tầng và quy định quản lý còn thiếu, khiến việc lưu trữ an toàn trở thành thách thức. Người dùng gặp khó, cần giải pháp đồng bộ từ chính sách đến thiết kế kỹ thuật.

  11. Sunny but #hazy as #WildfireSmoke returns to #Maine Sunday

    An #AirQuality Alert is in place for Sunday.

    Emily Pike, August 2, 2025

    "Sunday morning lows in the 50s and 60s, with highs in the 70s to 80s. Skies will be mostly sunny, but Canadian wildfire smoke will bring a thick haze for the higher elevations. An Air Quality Alert is in effect Sunday.

    "An #AirQualityAlert is in effect from 1 AM to 11 PM on Sunday, August 3, 2025, for parts of #Maine and #NewHampshire due to expected high levels of #ParticlePollution.

    "The Maine Department of Environmental Protection has issued the alert for the Western and Eastern Interior regions of the state, including areas in #Franklin, #Somerset, #York, Cumberland, #Androscoggin, and #Kennebec counties. The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services has issued a similar alert for #Coos, #Grafton, and #Carroll counties.

    "Air quality is expected to reach levels that are considered 'Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups' due to a plume of smoke moving in from Canada.

    "Those most at risk include children, older adults, people with respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, or emphysema, and anyone who is physically active outdoors. Even healthy individuals may experience mild symptoms and should consider limiting strenuous or prolonged outdoor activity during this time.

    "High pressure is keeping things dry and sunny, which may allow the smoke to linger into next week, thickening into Monday.

    "Looking Ahead: Maine is off to a dry start this August. Without significant rainfall soon, #drought conditions could develop, potentially affecting #crops and increasing #FireRisk.

    "The 8-day forecast shows only a few chances for showers and slightly below-average temperatures, mainly in the 70s to 80s."

  16. Japan's TV Asahi reported a case of wireless earphones igniting; probably due to recent hot weather causing the lithium ion batteries to overheat.
    Probably not a good idea to potter about in the sun with wireless earphones attached to lugholes.

  17. CW: Politics

    The damage these #GOP #extremists are trying to do is horrendous - with damage increasing over time, and very long lasting. Environmental destruction (oil & gas extraction, removing constraints on polluting oil & chemical plans, water pollution, microplastices/PM2.5, building in sensitive ecosystems, building in high risk regions....) seems to be the goal.

    On the other hand, a mitigating factor is projects in these coastal areas will most likely be uninsurable...

  18. Lilbits: Oh the Humane-ity: AI startup is hoping HP will buy it for $1 billion

    The Humane Ai Pin was supposed to be the first in a new category of wearable, AI-first devices. But it arrived this year to universally awful reviews citing its limited functionality, spotty reliability, awful battery life, and high price, just to name a few problems.
    Last month we learned that Humane was looking to sell the company. Now a new report suggests […]
