Does the tesla wall connector offer Ethernet? Honestly I feel like most devices that are not expected to move around should at least offer it as an option (exceptions being for things where it’s not feasible like smart bulbs, smart locks, etc). If anything it’ll remove congestion for things that can’t realistically be wired.

It’s hard to trust a company when when they’ve already demonstrated that they [can’t be trusted](https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/discord-faces-ba...). And i’m sure there will be an argument of “but this will make it more likely that they’ll be safe about it to not have a repeat”, which will likely be true for a while. Then cost-cutting offloading to a third party that promises to not keep the data, or a new feature will come in that needs the photos, or a misconfiguration will happen where things that should be deleted won’t be, and we’ll be in the same boat again.

The only safe data is that which does not exist.

I believe it. After playing the game crackdown for a week or so, I started to constantly map out how to get up the outside of apartment buildings near me. Mirrors edge had a similar effect on me too.

For the PHEVs yes they are battery constrained. They have great products and a ton of demand and difficulty keeping up manufacturing due to limited batteries.

For their EV, they have yet to make something that is competitive. Their EV is slow to charge, slow to accelerate, somewhat short in range, and quite expensive before they started adding—-in some cases five figure—-incentives to move them. It even had a recall for the wheels coming off.

For both the 1700 and 5800X, the i/o die uses ~12W at idle, and 20W max at load (assuming he’a doing something that keeps the i/o die at max power consumption when everything else is idle).

This leaves us with 60W-68W unaccounted for at idle. Even in the worst case for i/o power usage that’s 75% unaccounted for.

I keep talking about TDP and load power because even in the case where the cpu isn’t using lower power states correctly for whatever reason, the i/o die cannot possibly be majority of the 80W power usage.

Source for power usage of i/o die:

1700 (same i/o die as 1300x/1500x): https://www.anandtech.com/show/11658/the-amd-ryzen-3-1300x-r...

5800x: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16214/amd-zen-3-ryzen-deep-di...

The ryzen 1700 is also from 2017. Intel’s cpus still dominated at the time for anything single-threaded, they were just bad at multithreaded workloads. I’m not saying i/o die power consumption isn’t higher, it is for sure. And I agree, it doesn’t go down at idle because it can’t turn off or do power gating.

What I’m saying is that a computer with a cpu that is 65W TDP (from a time when amd’s TDP was close to being accurate as ~ max power consumption under load), the i/o die (which is part of that 65w TDP; which is for load) cannot possibly be the main reason his computer is idling at 80W. Especially when I linked an instance of a system also with a ryzen 1700 that was idling for 57W and with a similar configuration as an intel contemporary only being 7W greater at idle.

A lot of people are no longer buying new cars. Of my groups of friends, only the very wealthy and well paid ones have done so. Half of them very reluctantly because the used car market getting so crazy. In fact a lot of the craziness of the used car market is down to increasingly people can’t afford a new car.

I’m surprised at this to be honest. At my employer (a bank) we have to do a flip a couple times a year and just continue running from the alternate DC until the next flip. Pain in the butt on the weekends of the flip but at least we know for sure that our DR plan works and is good enough to serve our regular load…

That’s fair. For a keyboard I agree: mine has Bluetooth I’ve never used before. For a mouse though the lack of a cable is nice for playing FPSes and my work setup does double duty as my gaming setup.

The mouse I use can charge wirelessly from a special mouse-pad. I’ve never had to think about batteries as a result. Pricey though. Combined the mouse / charging pad were close to $300 CAD

Only comment is that out of 3 activities suggested for playing bg3 with friends tonight at 10pm, only one of them is now in my calendar (and it’s not the one actually playing bg3). I had altered the times of two of the suggested events and one of the two altered ones is in the calendar.
