That’s flawed logic. The company would pretty easily know who has been emailing to request the source code for that specific tool in the timeline just before this post. The lemmy profile may be anonymous, but I doubt OP’s emails were.

No, never. Current charging rates already get close to thermal constraints. Hitting those charging rates either requires accepting much lower power density or using way more metal per cell. This research might inform design changes to improve charging rates, but we’ll never see high capacity batteries charging in a minute.
The researchers know this and only mention wearables and iot devices applications. The article author erroneously makes the leap to high energy density devices.
If you don’t care about energy density at all, ceramic capacitors can already charge and discharge in microseconds.
Fine, I’ll bite.
But it’s not a console, it’s a PC.
Yes, it’s a PC with the form factor advantages of a console, making it suitable for placement in an entertainment center. So I expect people to use them similarly to a console, with wireless controllers/keyboard&mouse while displaying on their TV, rather than at a desk with a monitor. Perhaps I should have use the Home Theater PC nomenclature instead. Although, HTPC doesn’t necessarily include gaming capability.
Why not use a laptop at your desk and move your gaming PC into the living room?
Physical size is a big deal for some people. Having a tower present isn’t always agreeable with other household members.
Or use a streaming service like Steam Link?
I do. However, that requires you already having a fully built out gaming rig, not to mention it comes with severe limitations on latency and max resolution/refresh rate. If someone doesn’t already have a gaming PC, then these have all the appeal of a pre-built while being as small as a console. Plus,a lot of people don’t have ethernet run everywhere and streaming over wifi is not a good experience.
Build an ITX. That’s what I did. And I chose a really nice case from the plethora of available options that fits into my living room nicely.
An ITX case is still too big to fit in my entertainment center whereas the nuc would not have that problem. I can only assume the same is true for some other people as well. It’s a little odd that someone who went through extra trouble to go for an ITX form factor wouldn’t understand why an even more compact solution has value.
…where did you get that idea?
Because you are arguing from a foregone conclusion that someone who wants one is wrong. You aren’t trying to understand, you are trying to win the argument. Your responses read a lot like a troll. If that’s not your intention, then I suggest you look at your first response from the perspective of an outside observer and see if it comes off as hostile.
It sounds like you may have purchased one of these things and are personally offended that someone would question that decision.
I have a full tower at my desk, and use a steam link/ps5 for the TV. I don’t have to use one to appreciate why others would find the option appealing.
I did pick a NUC for an HMI once. I don’t think that made me particularly biased though.
It seems like it’s not a matter of not understanding, you just hate the concept.
The NUC form factor is not something I’ve gone for myself, but it’s not that hard to imagine how it could be appealing to some. What I don’t understand is why you would take that preference so personally.
Think of them as a PC console replacement. You can have highish end gaming on the couch and living room tv instead of at the desk you might work from home at all day. The size of a full tower can be a real sticking point for integration into living room setups.
Then you find out that while the new place doesn’t have the problems the old place had, it has a whole new set of problems.
Sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t.
It can’t really be scaled up to human carrying capacity. The density of solar wind is very sparce. Any sail large enough to accelerate a human habitat would itself become too heavy.
Recent anecdotal evidence shows that elections are not particularly effective at selecting against incompetence.
Well the context was a concern about a defamation suit resulting from this post. If the company never found this post then the anonymity of the poster is irrelevant anyway. The company could easily tell who made this post based on the timing of their already existing email correspondance seeing as this is clearly not a request they receive often.
