  • Kind of, yes. But more importantly, it also means it can only push enough power to run at 3c. And that’s probably not for the full charge of the battery.

    So a 100 amp hour battery rated at 3c can push out 300 amps. Which also means that if the grid needs a short spike in power, it might be limited.

    It shouldn’t be too hard to get a 15c LiPo battery, which could push 5x as much energy at peak demand.

    You’d probably kill the battery if you charged it from 0-100 at 15c, but for short bursts of charging and discharging, it should handle it just fine.






  • The official way to get movies and TV series for self hosting is to purchase them on physical disc, then rip that media to your computer so you don’t need to swap out discs anymore.

    There are also tools to rip the movies from streaming sites. Depending on how you want to do it, there’s various tools to download the content, but it’s a bit of a war between the streamers and the end users.

    There’s also ways to download that content from people who share it online. Depending on where you live, this might be completely legal, it might get you fined, it might get your internet shut off, or it might get you put in jail. The worst most people get is a letter telling them to knock it off, but you should look into the laws where you live to find out for sure.

  • I have two cars made after 2020. Both have a phone app where you can set the internal climate settings in the car. You wouldn’t practically be able to do that from a keyfob.

    Both also allow remote starting from the phone, with a setting for how long to let the car run before it turns off again. From a keyfob it’s normally set to 5 minutes with no option to change it.

    Both are quality of life features that aren’t really required, but I do use them pretty regularly. If the internet stopped working on either car, they’d act just like any older car that didn’t have those features.
