I know nothing about this but it seems that a #hybrid car with #replaceable #hydrogen and a smaller #battery would seem like a great combo. Battery electric for short journeys and a smaller #fuelcell to provide longer range.

Before the pandemic, I didn’t know how Americans could support a game that we *know* destroys people’s brains for simple entertainment.

I understand better now.

Replaceable Batteries Are Coming Back To Phones If The EU Gets Its Way https://hackaday.com/2022/03/30/replaceable-batteries-are-coming-back-to-phones-if-the-eu-gets-its-way/ via @hackaday #battery #replaceable #ecology

I just received my frame.work (i5) DIY edition laptop. I haven't installed the RAM and NVMe yet (they need to come out from another machine first) but I'm pretty impressed with the build quality so far. The laptop feels solid and the expansion cards fit flush and tight. I'm excited about the 3:2 display, #modular design, and user #replaceable everything.
If folks are interested I can share my experience as I get it up and running.
