Oh fuck, looks like I gotta switch again…

Lots of firefox mentions, no mention of Vivaldi tho…?

Ooh, I can finally short!

So basically we didn’t have a material that could function as a cathode until now?

Fair point - I’m not really that good with the physical sciences personally so apologies for my ignorance

We had a shortage in Canada… but after looking into it, it appears to have been caused by a labour strike. LOL

That’s a capitalism problem, not a resource problem. All resources require labor to harvest, renewable or no.

Yeah, I’m quite curious myself as to why it’s more difficult. My chemistry knowledge is chem1 level so all I know is that sodium atoms are larger and the energy levels for state change are slightly different

I find it interesting that, on a post about sodium ion batteries, your comment completely excludes them

Ah shit, I googled the number but it looks like I got the number for a battery in an internal combustion engine car, apologies. I’m an electronics person, not a car person

I’ve been surprised by USB-C. I recently bought a Xiaomi phone and it takes like 10 minutes to charge with the charger that comes with the phone (and it still works with the other ones). It’s 120 watts

At that rate it’d still take 12 hours to charge a 1440 watt hour battery, which isn’t the hour or two that people are used to with superchargers these days, but actually surprisingly servicable.
