From what I remember the lamp post chargers are still going to be charged at slow rates so 50-60p/kWh. I just read Octopus is putting a cap of 6 hours on their liver EV charging rate… I wonder when the next change will be.
I’m predicting these overnight/off peak tariffs will continue to trend towards the standard rate as consumers have no choice but to pay it.
This may be the difference here, I have never broken a phone, my iPhone 6 became my dads and is still going, and my current phone is the iPX I bought over 8 years ago.
You probably need to take better care of your stuff. 😀
Where are you getting an iPhone for less than $160 that still gets security updates??
I can replace my iPX for about $200 for a refurbished one, but not get an 11 which will only have 9 more months of updates. I can probably get a used 11 with an already trashed (<70%) battery for $160.
Great let’s hope your energy provider continues to offer this tariff. People who don’t have a driveway or garage (basically poorer people) have to pay nearly 10x that, or just 7x that if they have 10 hours to waste at a slow charger.
Are you suggesting that the solution is to use slow public chargers? Because the average EV needs to stay on a 7kWh charger for 10 hours, so you need to live really close to one or have sleeping bag in the back seat. Even then they are 18p per mile so 5p more than petrol.
Not everyone has a driveway or garage they can use to charge from home, this policy creates a system where the wealthy can drive for very little, and the poor have to pay a lot more.
You just reminded me I still have an inspection camera which can only work with software that requires Windows XP, last time I used it I had to run it on a virtual machine on my laptop,,, it’s been a few years, I probably don’t have the VM anymore. The camera works perfectly, I wish I’d paid the extra for the one with its own screen.
I guess we will see, but with the 3p per mile the average EV costs 2x as much per mile to fast charge on the public network as petrol.
I’m going to respectfully disagree; had the phone kept shutting down you would have gone to Apple or a 3rd party repairer and got a new battery for 30-80£€$.
By masking the real issue and just giving you a poor experience, you wonder if it was always like that, or if there is something wrong at all, maybe you compare it with a snappy new phone and decide to upgrade for 1000£€$
Get ready to watch the EV sales figures tank with the 3p per mile tax.
Not come across that one, maybe it didn’t affect iOS 16, so us iPhone X users are safe?
It is funny that all the responses so far have been about phones.
Got to be Apple slowing down older iPhones to mask battery degradation, and hoping no one would notice.
Should I wait for 22.2 or just install 22.1? I think I’m going to go for the cinnamon desktop and install using a Rufus USB on my ~ 9 year old Dell XPS 13 9350.
I’ve been waiting a while as I thought the next version would be out by now, are there any resources for finding out how close the next version is?
Is it easy to upgrade between .x versions?
Is YouTube actively trying to make their platform as unusable as possible?
In case you can’t zoom the YouTube definition of ‘latest’, is any time in the last few years.
My video suggestions are also 50% text posts now for some reason.
They put the 3p per mile on EV, because they weren’t contributing to the infrastructure, if people are getting paid to use electricity they also won’t be contributing to the infrastructure. Hinckley point C, transmission network, oil and gas subsidies all need to be paid for. Doesn’t matter how great Octopus may be, they’re not going to lose money and the government is not going to accept a loss in tax revenues.
