It’s a stone, Luigi. You didn’t make it

I was confused too, and the article didn’t make it very clear, but from what I gather, the world-first part is the solid-state-transformer that converts 10kV AC directly to 800V DC instead of some multi-stage setup (hence the advertised gains)

I didn’t put a solar panel on the roof of my car and tried to charge a battery, if that’s what you’re asking, I did the math and also have home solar panels. For field testing you could ask someone who does camping, that is where bringing panels with the vehicle would be specially useful anyway.

PS: Now that I think about it, a lot of the bigger SUVs from China have features specially made for campers and whatnot, like the Xiaomi SkyNomad N90 that comes with an actual tent on the roof that you access from inside the car (pic below because look at it) and some off-roaders that have things like built-in oxygen tanks for high altitudes and freaking propellers for fording rivers. Maybe it could have success in those niches.

It also isn’t anywhere close to reality. That is a good point in that the best chance the car solar panel idea has is if manufacturers lie about what they’re capable of.

400w is the nominal power. You’re not getting anywhere close to peak efficiency for 8 hours. A regular stationary panel, placed optimally with the right inclination, will at best generate 2 KWh per day, and I’m really pushing it, it’s more like 1-1.5 for your home installation.

If anyone was also wandering how efficient it would be to have these on the roof of an electric car, if somehow you got a 400W panel on there (regular panels are about 2m²) and left it in the sun for 8 hours, you’d get like half a KWh, which is good for 3km or so on an average EV.

So, not groundbreaking for that application to say the least, but you could technically not have to charge it (on a commute so small that you really should be walking). Of course I’d be blasting the AC before I got to the car and lose some of those gains.

If thorns are a dealbreaker, there is no shortage of flowers without them. Indluding rose varieties.

Yeah OP, how dare you having convictions and acting according to them.

In my opinion the only reason people don’t like immutable distros is bad habits that are hard to break, or wanting highly custom system configurations, both do not apply to a new user

Disagree with the second point. The first thing I did when I finally swapped was to fiddle with it until it felt like what I was used to with Windows. Of course, that’s also the same thing I do in a Windows PC: Make it feel like an older less shit version of Windows.

Over time, I started experimenting. Even use a heavily modified Gnome for my laptop which is a big change. Maybe I just like to mess with stuff.

It never even occured to me to hibernate and then switching OS. I just use a command to reboot and tell grub to preselect the other OS and go do something else for 60 seconds while it reboots.

It’s true that sometimes the grub config gets messed up, but in two years doing this, I’ve had to reinstall grub once (many more times if you count me distro-hopping).
