They'd have to implement ads eventually anyway. Companies do have budgets, and the money to run Threads has to come from somewhere.

Please do not pretend climate change is any one groups responsibility.
This happened in 2005 as well, except with 3 hurricanes; Francis, Ivan, and Jeanne. I doubt climate change has gotten better since then.
There's nothing more I want out of a phone than what I have with the P9F right now. Price should come down, but I'm using this thing until it's dead. Only other thing that could entice me is a rollable like LG was going to release here.
What? I mentioned a third party investigation and you're saying they "investigated themselves" and brought up law firms for some reason. While completely ignoring the fact there is no evidence outside of the claims made by the ex employee
What else can you do in that situation? Fire other employees based on hearsay? Unfortunately, you have no idea what you're talking about about. It's perfectly fine to dislike a companies actions but let's not perpetuate falsehoods and look like clowns.
Are they stupid? In fairness, I don't know how they're making any money at all. I've never seen anyone interact with the discover feed and therefore see ads. There really isn't a way to monetize Snapchat without killing it off.
I couldn't imagine putting 8 years of effort into a game only for it to bomb. But a least they got their paychecks.
With home charging that worsens the issue. When EVs are more widely used and people opt to install chargers in their homes, the demand for DC chargers will also fall.
I think the difference with gas stations is that you can get that $50 in a few minutes compared to half an hour, so you need comparatively less stations.
And another is will the price of charging stations actually come down? I don't actually believe they're exorbitantly expensive right
I've been thinking over this the last few days, and I do not see a situation where ev charging will ever be profitable enough for businesses to install them at large. I assume most public charging is DC fast charging so I'm talking about that.
Where do you put a charger so that is receives the most amount of use? Well that's easy, wherever gas stations currently are—but that's where the problems start. How many chargers do you install, and at what charging speed?
The theoretical max amount of money you can make in an hour is the charging speed x price/kW. So for a 100kW charger at 50¢/kW you're hard capped at $50/hr. I found a 240kW DC charger on aliexpress for $44,000. Using the 50¢/kW from above it'd take 36 days to break even, assuming 24/7 usage at the theoretical maximum. With a normal usage of around 6 hours total (i'm just throwing numbers out there) that jumps to 146 days. After 10 years of operating you're looking at around $1.2 million or a 2727% return
However, the time to break even grows and the return shrinks with the amount of chargers installed. And this is without factoring in installation costs and the power companies electricity price, which could easily cut that down to a fourth. I also do not see a charger going 10 years without a single repair.
I'm just wondering if i'm missing something here.

Every platform and app I've seen does a piss poor job of explaining what federation is and how to sign up. "Wtf is mastodon.social?, Why is this one in German?, Why can't I login after signing up?" New users just get confused and give up.
