That’s it. Keep repeating I’m a racist. I’m sure eventually if you spew that enough it’ll become true.
Also, perovskite-silicon tandem solar panels haven’t been proven out yet outside of a lab. Looks like a promising technology, but it has high degradation compared to panels we already have and is difficult to mass manufacture still. It may become the future of solar panels. And it might not. Neat tech either way and the Chinese scientists that invented it should be proud either way.
No and I never said that. I said it was their largest contribution to the technology, although I’m open to a rebuttle of information, if you have evidence to the contrary. I’m hardly an expert, but I know a good amount of solar panel history.
Maybe try not being so fucking presumptuous and hostile to everyone that presents something you don’t like.
I don’t believe what you’re claiming I do. China, Japan, South Korea…all of these countries have made incredible inventions and technological achievements.
It’s also very common for the Chinese government to support and foster espionage against Capitalist countries to jump start their technological development of some things.
It’s also very common for corporations to steal from each other, too.
Multiple things can be true. Pointing out scummy behavior of one entity does not mean I’m a racist.
No the French invented photovoltaics. Then it was an American who made the first commercial solar panel and Bell labs of the US made the modern solar panel design that we use today. China has been involved in development along the way, but they didn’t start things. Their biggest contribution has been making them cheap and affordable.
China has had plenty of innovations that are incredible. Sodium Ion battery technology is largely a Chinese development with others contributing. There are plenty of things that China has made and they should be proud of. They also steal other’s ideas and try to pull a “I made this” meme. That doesn’t mean they are unique in this manner, though.
American AI companies are thieves, too. The entirety of AI development is bullshit made on the back of human innovation. It’s an abomination. Multiple things can be true. You clearly have an agenda with your whataboutism arguments
How the actual fuck am I being racist?
China is a country. Not a race.
Not saying they should or shouldn’t. Just saying that copying someone else’s homework wholesale is not “innovating”.
MattKC modified his controllers to use an actual connector instead. Seems like a more permanent fix.
I agree with everything you said except saying that China is “innovating”. China has a long history of espionage and theft to jumpstart many of their technologies someone else developed. The US, Europe, Japan, Korea…I mean look at CXMT’s memory fabrication techniques. They were caught red handed stealing it from Samsung. China has developed many things, but they take many things that they then present as their own work.
China is moving in the right direction with electrification, transit, their belt and road initiatives, etc., but they are not some bastion of Utopia. Not by a long shot. Their support of Cuba is an extension of their soft power globally that the Mango Moron in the US has decided isn’t necessary. China is trying to fill the gigantic power vacuum that the US has left globally by their stupid fucking decisions.
[EDIT]
Seems all the Lemmy.ml people woke up and did the predictable thing of pulling a bunch of straw man and whataboutism arguments. It would be more tiresome if it wasn’t so predictable.
This list is not muffin approved.
I have a few. Two from Senville (Midea rebrand) and a third from Cozeware (AUX rebrand with Tuya controller).
This was the most recent one from Cozeware. Got it for $354 after tax for their 12k BTU unit.
Took about ~$100-150 for the lineset covers and other supplies.
It’s because the US is a very car centric country and large geographically. We should have invested in high speed train, public transit in major cities, etc., but we didn’t.
I’ll have to give the Gamecube version a try
I can’t play OoT. The controls are too terrible. Even the decomp project SoH still uses the god awful N64 control scheme.
Not if you store the excess you produce in sodium batteries
All good homie
Heat pumps jumped in price? I just installed one myself for $450 all in (wiring, disconnext box, breaker, unit itself, concrete for the pad, etc.) for a 12k BTU unit in my living room.
While I share the sentiment, they do have a master toggle to turn all of it off.
I think that all of the steps in development are important. The French discovered photovoltaics. The US produced the first commercial panel and created the modern panel. China has made panels a commodity, refined the process for producing them, and is the largest producer of solar panels in the world.
All of these things have merit.
