  • I suppose we could also see in the future more cars that can swap their battery in charging stations.

    IMO that’s the more long term use of these stations. Instead of buying gas you would swap for new batteries.

    Gas stations are often well placed for refuelling so might as well repurpose them to do that but for electric cars.

    Electric scooters with swappable batteries work super well in urban areas. I’m convinced once this tech is deployed on most cars it will trivialise long trips in electric cars.

    This and electrified highways would be amazing.







  • Any source for this ?

    The official announcement is quite vague and since the feature isn’t out it’s hard to know how it will work exactly.

    Also, I assume the biggest risk isn’t for teens to send nudes “unprompted” but to let adults contact them and ask for them.

    This for example is very vague :

    Age-gated Spaces – Only users who are age-assured as adults will be able to access age-restricted channels, servers, and app commands.

    So if a teen can only interact with other teens on dedicated spaces it should make it harder for perverts to ask for stuff.

    And if an adult tries to pretend to be a teen he will only see blurred content ?

    I’m sure many will think I’m trying to defend Discord on this but I’m not. Again we dont really know how this update will work. I’m just trying to make sure we dont spread misinformation.

    There will be plenty of time to criticize Discord when they push this update.

    What I’m sure of is that discord was definitely a platform of choice for many bad people to hunt and groom teens.

    Personally, it’s the fact that discord says they will delete my verification data :

    Identity documents submitted to our vendor partners are deleted quickly— in most cases, immediately after age confirmation.

    In most cases ? Really ? Is that supposed to look trustworthy ?
