    Do you not know what inherent means?

    "existing in something as a permanent, essential, or characteristic attribute."

    It's still lithium. There is still an inherent danger.

    This tech is much, much more promising than what Sweden is working on. It also has the benefit of being made by someone with a history of actually bringing products to market, as well as said person having been a NASA engineer.

    Using an overvolt/overcurrent to zap the dendrites? Might work since the chemistry is fairly stable but the general problem with that is that the dendrites tend to grow back larger than before. Definitely would not try with any lithium chemistry.

  11. E-mail is useless when the problem requires near real-time observation.

    Example, a switch whose fans are acting up. Live video of the fans spinning or failing to spin (maybe ticking over a bit then stopping) can't be shown with a static picture and text.

    "There isn't yet a decent cross-platform solution"

    Camfrog is available on iOS, OSX, Windows, and Android. It blows everything else out of the water (it's so good Paltalk bought it just to get ahold of the underlying video tech.)

    As far as security goes, who the fuck actually expects security across a cellular network? Did nobody learn the lesson from Telegram's most recent fuckup?

    To boot, videochat on a smartphone means, well, you're more likely to have the speakerphone on (holding the handset to your ear sort of defeats the purpose of video chat,) which means people nearby can just listen in. Try encrypting actual sound waves, let's see how far you get.

    Good luck with that until you solve Zinc's whiskering problem. Powergenix thought they had it solved with Nickel-Zinc batteries. Nope. 1.6V 2300 mAh is nice but not when you get less than 150 charge cycles due to whiskering.

    Oh, the ever-wrong AC who's too stupid and such a life failure that all they can do is obsess over me like some strung-out groupie. No job, no life, obviously hasn't left mommy's basement (and could probably never offer proof of having done so in any meaningful manner in the first place,) and obviously no life partner.

    Such a pathetic existence you have. It's so pathetic that you have to hide yourself while you fail at mocking me.

    Very often. Plenty of your components generate a ton of ultrasonic noise and vibration. Get a spectral analyzer and proper recording equipment and 'listen' to your computer, phone, etc.

    Also, the transfer of energy is a rapid vibration. Too strong of one, your silicon fries (ESD death.)

    Uhh, sinkholes that rapidly expand due to being in a heavily-fractured fault area. Explosions caused by wild fires reaching propane tanks or ruptured gas lines. Oil well explosions or underground gas storage explosions venting massive plumes of toxic crap into the air. Plenty of other things trigger seismic activity in an area.

    Clay Fighter's getting a sequel, fucking finally, however I don't think this is going to be clay animated like the original. I'll bet on CGI.

    It's really sad that I seem to know your own country, and laws, better than you do. Maybe that's because I've done actual business there.

  22. I wondered if your idiocy was going to show up in this thread. You're totally clueless about social life on the internet.

    Try again when you've run things like BBSes and saw this shit LONG BEFORE Twitter ever existed.
