Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    If it were worth it, commercial electric cars would be festooned with solar panels. They aren't. (I think there might be one EV that has a solar panel embedded in its roof, but it's just a gimmick.)

    In other words, no: the amount of range solar panels could add to a two-ton electric car with performance and comfort up to the standard expected of a modern car is basically negligible.

    Frankly, if you really want solar, you should be thinking more in terms of an electric bicycle towing a trailer with a solar panel on it. And even then you're still probably talking about merely extending range, not being able to travel all day without having to pedal.

    Thanks. In hindsight , It does make sense since 1m² at best can output 300w/h.
