The owner of this electric car has attached a belt to the rear wheel and generator to his Chevy Bolt which charges the batteries while driving.

Now it's amazing to me that no multi billion dollar EV companies with all their "advanced" technology

haven't thought about this logical idea to use movement of the wheels to generate the electricity for charging.

There would no longer be a need to stop and charge batteries at charging stations, or to charge them at home while you sleep.

When the car is running it charges the batteries.

It's that simple and they want to tell us that these
EV companies that have billions of networth, can't hire one competent engineer to make this work?

Let's recap on their "advanced" tech so far.

We have electric cars, which you have to charge everyday, they take ages to charge, lithium causes major pollution and you are dependant on government to provide you with electricity.

So 1 step forward, 3 steps back?

One thing I like about Arch Linux is how you can seemingly recover from any fuckup no matter how bad.

I bricked my system by hibernating in the middle of installing upgrades. But my prepared installation USB stick didn't even work because the partition had the wrong label, dropping me into a rescue shell.

Without access to a secondary computer, I had no choice but to try and symlink the nonexistent partition to the correct place allowing me to boot the installation stick to in turn fix my actual install.

I feel like an absolute hackerman.

The Greek Corinthian helmet is one of the most famous and recognizable pieces of armor from the ancient world. This brilliant example dates to 495 BCE and has a brow decorated with vines and blooming flowers suggesting it was worn by an officer. Now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

🎙️ Compared to last year, we decided to do the podcast inside the cafeteria instead of outside, and on Sunday instead of Saturday. Twice the amount of FOSDEM days to talk about, and with more people talking in the background. Enjoy!
