Cats and dogs; apples and oranges; Linux and Microsoft. Two of these three things do not go together. Would you believe that Microsoft—yes Microsoft—was the fifth largest contributor to the soon to be released Linux 3.0 kernel? Believe it.
If a 5.5% fee can't get a transaction complete in 2 days, how much does it cost?
I've never paid more than 3% extra for credit card transactions, 1.5 or 2% is more common. My bank gives me back 1% of that anyway. If the merchant absorbs that cost and distributes it across its credit card and cash customers, I effectively get a discount.
Replacing a single service that includes a bunch of crap you don't want with multiple services to include all that crap ends up costing more! If you want 100 channels, pay for cable. If you don't, don't.
Intel keeps producing CPU's and South/Northbridge chipsets that may as well be integrated into the CPU since you keep having to replace the motherboard with every CPU and RAM change anyway.
I know, right! They should have stuck to DDR2 and AGP. They should have never integrated the memory controller and kept the front side bus. They shouldn't keep upgrading the bandwidth from the CPU to the rest of the system. All because you want to buy less stuff from them.
Someone must have forgotten that every single phone has a custom kernel. Most phones are still no 3.x kernels with no hope of mainline support.
Added to the issue of old SoC's with no mainline support is every phone has a different set of devices attached to it, from touch controllers, to accelerometers, gyroscopes, audio codecs, cell radios, wifi/bt chips... even the buttons aren't going to be on any sort of standardised port, they're on random gpio's.
At least if it was Android based, they could use the kernel, drivers and BSP developed by the manufacturer.
Without manufacturer support, this is going to support only a handful of phones and will be forgotten like the dozes of other projects before it.
I have a car with a CAN network (two networks actually, with the gauge cluster acting as a gateway between the fast and slow networks)
The only thing the ABS control use uses the CAN bus for is to illuminate the warning lights on the gauge cluster. The control unit is directly connected to the wheel speed sensors and valves.
The engine ECU and transmission ECU are actually the same thing, so there is no issue with that. If it wasn't auto-transmissions go in to limp home mode if they detect failure and still work.
It has drive-by-wire, but the actuator and sensor are directly connected to the main ECU. No CAN bus needed.
They could disable stability control and ABS. They can't disable the brakes. The individual wheel sensors are connected directly to the control unit, so you couldn't trick it into pulsing or applying the brakes by sending it incorrect wheel speed data. The steering angle and yaw rate sensors are also directly connected to it, so no tricking it into thinking the car isn't going where the front wheels are pointing.
They could stop me using cruise control
They could turn my headlights on and off (providing I have the switch in "auto")
They could lock/unlock the car and play with the windows if they were connected to the low-speed bus (I doubt the gauge cluster forwards those messages from the high speed bus. It doesn't do everything, since it's going from 500kbit to 33kbit) and when the car is off, the high speed bus is inactive. If they're on the low speed bus they could turn the AC fan/compressor on and off. The indicators too. Maybe the windscreen wipers
They could show garbage data on the nav unit trip computer screen
They could make the gauge cluster show incorrect data
I doubt there is much else they could do. If any of the above systems go offline, a warning light is going to appear on the gauge cluster.
Also depends where in the crust you're looking "Upper crust" Li is 22ppm, Zn is 52ppm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... If you're looking in seawater Li is 0.17ppm, Zn is 0.011ppm
A charge/discharge cycle of 120 hours is pretty slow. Let's say you need a 120kWh battery for your car to go 500 miles. To cover 500 miles in 60 hours, you need to be going around 8MPH. Not very quick for a car. That's assuming you can also keep the peak current draw under C/60, or 2kW. You could probably move a car at 8MPH with a 2Kw motor.... Not very useful for a car.
The point here is batteries tend to wear out quicker as you put in to take out more current. I would be impressed if they did 60 charge/discharge cycles in 120 hours, not 120 hours per cycle.

Didn't get any mention of "ayo js" until page 3. Usually I support "Page 3", but not this kind.
If it wasn't for Mono, I wouldn't be able to run Emby on Linux.
ps: Microsoft has owned Mono for exactly 18 months now
They're already a Linux kernel contributor and a platinum member of the Linux Foundation
I assume you're using MacOS or some kind of BSD then?
I hope you don't run any other Linux distribution

That was a typo. It should have read "Most phones are still on 3.x kernels"
The word "no" doesn't make sense.
My Moto X 2014 still runs a 3.4.42 kernel. 3.4 went EOL in April. Motorola/Lenovo hasn't sent out a security patch since August 2016
Knowing the different between "been" and "being" could be understood as a privilege...

Maybe $1,000 at the most.

Except the "OnStar" or equiv. is also connected to the CAN bus. That's the remote connection.
But it IS an unpatchable flat that affects most of todays modern computers!
Simply connecting a device to the PCIe bus exposes your entire memory contents!
All you need to do to remotely access that is find a vulnerability in the kernel!
It could have been brute forced, and the guy just got lucky.

It's right next to Lithium, which is the 25th.
The abundance of the active material in a battery has almost nothing to do with the cost of production.
It's all the other shit that goes into it, along with the production process.
