Apple crushes creativity and its reputation in new iPad ad (www.theregister.com)

The ad itself depicted a mechanical crusher destroying artifacts of human creativity. A trumpet, guitar, sculpture, piano, drawing board, paints, a metronome, several analog cameras, a turntable, and hi-fi equipment were among the much-loved items yielding to the machine's unstoppable force.

Apple popularised two things that bug the shit out of me in addition to everything you said. "on iPhone" "on iPad" just sounds utterly wrong. It needs to be "on the iPhone" "on the iPad". Now everyone is doing it.

The other is " breathlessly we're excited to announce/we're excited to share with you/we're excited!!!!big fucking cheesy grin". The whole point of having that whole "excited" or whichever adjective you want at that point of the sentence is to prep you and let you know what you're supposed to feel. If it's that good surely you shouldn't have to tell me what I need to feel.

Oh balls.

Why is it either/or? That feels like a purposeful false equivalence.

Smaller batteries for load shaving. Smaller batteries for home and businesses to self store. Hydro. Gravity. Thermal.

And that's just looking at the most basic swap out. The whole point of the energy transition is to also make everything better. Continent wide energy grids need to happen ie. Wind in Norway, solar in Morocco and a grid between etc. local generation by solar or wind also has a huge part to play. Geothermal is getting much better with lower temperature or harder to reach heat sources too, see Eden Project in Cornwall.

I don't want to come too aggressively at you here but I see this kind of "attitude" a lot in these conversations and it's always struck me as very insincere.

If you haven't already have a watch of the Everything Electric videos on YouTube for good views on how wide this whole thing is going to have to be.

They supply energy as they claim. Oil, diesel and petrol to name a few. They all have uses outside of moving cars, not sure if you know that.

If we're sticking to what OP said then You're still wrong about huge batteries as they only need to be sized for the role of the vehicle and very very very few need to do 300 miles in one go but I won't bother continuing because I don't think you're open to discuss but more of a bad faith actor.

Naive/naïve?

I searched for "nahive" just in case it was a word I hadn't heard of but it doesn't seem to be.

Oddbin ,

I understood that!

Duolingo, you son of a bitch you've done it again!
