What's the charging efficiency?

Most Russian people have committed no crime, and many do not support what their leader has done. We should not condem people for the country they were born in.

I have used Kagi for several weeks and can't go back. I can finally find things on the internet again and I don't want to lose that again.

It depends on a lot of factors including the battery chemistry.

NMC (Lithium ion) batteries are common in high performance cars and older EVs. They should be kept between 20% and 80% charge for normal use. 60% is ideal for storage, but anywhere in that range will do.

LFP (Lithium ion) batteries are common in cheaper and newer EVs. They don't have a problem with being stored at 100%, and do have issues with not being regularly charged to 100% (monitoring gets less accurate over time until fully charged again), so leaving it at 100% is fine.

Lead acid (particularly calcium) batteries get damaged when discharged too much, so it's fairly important to keep them topped up. If you are leaving the car for a long time, it could be worthwhile to connect a trickle charger to the 12V battery to prevent the car's computer from gradually draining the battery. Some cars will top up the 12V battery from the high voltage battery if left for a while, so this may not be needed.

While I have little experience with low temperatures, I suspect that the car will be fine if left as stated above. The battery shouldn't get damaged by low temperature storage, and shouldn't lose much charge over time. Just don't expect full performance immediately after returning to it.

Be aware that an underpowered or stuck stepper motor can "skip", causing the position data to be incorrect.

A servo motor has active feedback, so doesn't have this issue. Servos do have their own drawbacks too, so they are not always a suitable replacement.

It's likely been hacked by someone who guessed the default login details (when was the last time you changed the password on your washing machine), and is being used for malicious purposes such as DDoS attacks.

Prey gives you the choices up front, tells you they don't matter, then gives you a really good game to play.

plot twistThe way you play is entirely up to you, but that's the point. Are you who you say you are? It's easy to say whether you'll flip a switch or push a person when you're answering questions at a desk, but it's suddenly much harder when you're actually faced with the problem. What will you choose?

Start today. Download VirtualBox (or equivalent software) and if you make a mistake, you can just nuke the OS and start over without risk.

If you are worried, a qualified medical practitioner is always more reliable than a web forum.

Insufficient or poor quality sleep can cause problems with attention and memory, and can exacerbate existing conditions.

Poor sleep could be caused by a medical condition (sleep apnoea), or psychological (stress). Often stress can be hard to identify, particularly if it's long term stress.

Again, this might not be your problem, and finding the right doctor who actually listens to you is important. Don't be afraid to try more than 1 doctor if the first makes you uncomfortable.

It hasn't happened to me, but passengers have been severely injured before.

An example of a minor incident.

Listen to the safety briefing. They wouldn't bother telling you if it wasn't important.

Keep your seatbelt on for the entire flight. The pilots can't always predict turbulence, and hitting the ceiling hurts.

 

I use it to heat my house.
