Battery pr0n for my peeps! The internals of an Anker Solix X1 battery module. There are 16 LFP cells, 48v nominal pack. But all that stuff on the left looks like a DC converter, so methinks this is like the LG RESU10H where they step it up internally so the external wires can be smaller.

Also the prismatic cells in here appear to be under compression. I still am baffled that LG didn't put the pouch cells in the RESU10H under compression - I've seen my share of deconstructed units from spicy pillow formation.

EDIT: Also I did not smell the sweet smell of lithium when I opened the sealed cabinet. This isn't always the case.

What's a "forever platform"? A good example is Forth. You can write software in Forth and the VM is simple enough that you can port the VM to a new platform and bring over all your apps. You have enough control over the tech stack that your OS vendor can't pull the rug out from under you.
Someone (on here) asked me what app I would build for myself with a "forever platform" of my own design and I said "A web browser, I think". I think I was overwhelmed by the question and picked something that other people would want. I'm still not certain what I would need most. Maybe a Mastodon client? Maybe email? Maybe a good journal? I don't know.

More bullshit. You can't lock down an iOS device. I gave up. You have to list all the porn sites you can think of and set them to 0 minutes allowed per day and they can still get to these sites for a minute. #WWDC
Apple is talking about their "relentless attention to detail", which is such a joke. How can you even say that with a straight face?

Here’s an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of yourwill REALLY appreciate.

It’s so good, I had to make a video.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper covered by Claudio Sanchez in the original key would be super good, I think.
It's amazing how far we've come in computing. You can now have a computer without any disks. /s
