    Another Ebike conversion kit death

    I have looked into this in the past but I think it is unlikely. There are no UK based manufacturers of cases, connectors, silicon wires, insulation etc. We would have to import even UN3480 cardboards to make the cartons for packaging. You need to be big enough to get the cells and electronics...

    Another Ebike conversion kit death

    We pay for product liabilities insurance. That's the main reason why we sell whole kits, parts are supplied only for servicing our kits. If something goes wrong, we wouldn't try to shift the blame on other suppliers. Our parts come directly from the factories to the containers then to us, not...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    it's not just the gilts. Large banks participate in interest and default swaps. If DB went down, holders of their bonds and insurance (default swaps) won't be repaid. The cost of insuring bonds issued by DB went up surprisingly fast a couple of weeks ago, prompting investors to sell their bonds...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    In a couple of decades, third world countries would soon be able to buy small and cheap nuclear reactors, demand for fossil fuels will crash. So yes, I think electricity price will come down. However, energy price has been a tax tool for a very long time. Just look at how much taxes we pay on...

    I can't see the point yet of 5gb and 10gb fibre in the home. My phone goes only up to 550mb.

    I asked an AI to design a ebike

    You are really good at this. Years ago, in my student's days, l read a chapter in a SF novel about a programmer at work. He talked to his computer in a strange English. I suppose we reach this stage now. Soon, the AI will help us communicate between ourselves. One good thing may come out of this...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    The run on Deutsche Bank does not surprise me. All the banks, big and small, are hit by rapidly increasing lending rates. The bigger the bank, the bigger the loss on their sovereign bonds. They bought them when interest rate was low, now the rate on their borrowing is higher than what the...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    I think the opposite is going to happen. Energy is fundamentally cheap in the long term. Already the cost of generating electricity by solar and wind is only a tenth of what EDF/British Gas/Scottish Power etc are charging. I pay currently 39p+VAT for 1kWH before government relief. Over the next...

    I found Nvidia Canvas. It's very clever, it lets you export to psd with all the layers. Open AI Plus has also released a bunch of updates. You can upload your data, jpegs and videos, it will use them and your web browser to access the Internet. I wonder what the world will be like when my grand...
