2 Wheeler EV penetration is increasing in India. "2W EVs form the majority of EV sales today, accounting for 85%–90% of all EV units sold in India, followed by 4W EVs (7%–9% of sales) and 3W EVs (5%–7% of sales)." Source: https://www.bain.com/insights/india-electric-vehicle-report-....
EVs have crossed the 6% threshold of volume of all vehicles sold in India.
India's EV migration will start from 2 wheeler and 3 wheeler EVs. Public transport is already migrating to EV based. City buses have already migrated to EVs in cities like Pune and other cities are catching up.
I am finding it hard to come to terms with the power and thermal figures. The CPU draws 320watts and likes to operate at 100 degrees Celsius. The CPU uses adaptive boost technology to pull more power to get to the 100C temperature mark. Again, from the review, most enthusiast motherboards default to limits near 4096W of power and 512A of current.
Compared to house hold appliances, with 4000watts of power, you can run 3 microwaves (at 1200 watts), more than 5 refrigerators (at 800 watts), a reasonably sized central air conditioning unit (though 5KW models aren't that rare), etc.
These power and thermal figures make me wonder why Intel is not moving towards Apple's design philosophy behind the M1, M2, M3 series of chips.
From the article "AMD Spartan UltraScale+ samples and evaluation kits are expected to be available for sampling and evaluation in the first half of 2025." For hardware products, what is the point of making these announcements a year in advance? Are they available for select partners before 2025?
duckduckgo. It is getting better. I rarely need to fall back to a Google search. ChatGPT 4 is good at getting to the specific information that I am looking for and I can get the source links.
It is better for shops to just sell jute or cloth bags at retail price for carrying goods instead of allowing users to buy any type of plastic bag. This is how it is done in India in places where plastic is banned. Of course, customers can bring their own carry bags and avoid buying bags.
While 28 tonnes appears to be a lot of material for generating 1.2MW of energy, it compares favourably when you look at wind turbines. How often does this need maintenance though?
One of the more annoying things with Windows for me is when when Windows Update fails stating that KBxyz failed to install. It is a nightmare to find the right version of the updater from Microsoft's website. In my case, the particular update didn't have a standalone updater. Instructions like the ones provided at https://www.windowscentral.com/how-download-and-install-wind... are a life saver, but how does an end user work their way through this?
I don't understand why you don't have companies like Tesla building fuel cell (hydrogen) solutions for commercial use cases. Here is an article that explains it - https://www.bmw.com/en/innovation/how-hydrogen-fuel-cell-car... If Tesla can build a super charger network, they can build a hydrogen refilling network.
My rear view camera regularly gets covered with dirt and grime after a highway run during the monsoons. The car has both camera and radar so that I can have reliable assistance while reversing. With this experience in mind I fail to see how Tesla’s camera-only move is reliable for the use cases that they have mentioned.
We use several hundred laptops from Dell that run Linux (Ubuntu & CentOS) as the primary developer laptop in our organisation. They work well. Of course every now and then some user comes up with an idea to uninstall default Python…
The whole OpenGL versus Metal situation doesn’t help in porting games to macOS. Also, Crossover ports no longer work. Getting a nice console has been my solution for gaming.
Starlink cost is 499$ for equipment and 99$ per month? That is way too high for broadband prices in India. Fibre internet of 100 Mbps is about 18$. Mobile 4G is even cheaper.
No code has the potential to be a Visual Basic for the enterprise for tasks that are cookie cutter. However the adoption cost is very high for tools like Appian.

Cars and long distance transport trucks will be last. You can read up on the EV statistics here - https://www.autocarpro.in/analysis-sales/over-34-million-evs...
