The battery that does the driving is completely different from the battery that does the rest of the stuff in the car. So whilst it sounds funny, it's actually correct.
This is not a unique Tesla thing BTW, I think all electric cars work like that. The battery that does the driving has very different requirements, so keeping them separated is the best solution.
What is pretty shit from Tesla is the regular battery dying all the time. That's a pretty unique Tesla issue.
I use this for quick and dirty stuff: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134994778745
It's hard to get my big proper scope on some stuff, like when repairing something big like a washing machine. So this tiny scope is excellent and just fine for reading slow TTL signals like that. I got mine for around 50 euro, but prices vary depending on where you live and if you get a deal, plus shipping times vary a lot as well.
I would recommend this over a logic analyser because usually with a logic analyser you need to know what kind of signal it is, which you might not know. With a scope you can simply read the signal, figure out what the signal is and then go and decode it if you think it's useful. For example if its just TTL serial data, but with a level shift, you can fix that and connect it to a laptop or something.
But there is a big chance there is absolutely nothing on the serial port. It might just be to run some automated tests in the factory, or a leftover bit on the PCB for debugging boards during development. Sometimes it's more expensive to have a board partner redo their lines than just pay the fraction of a cent to include a connector. If there is something on there, the scope will show what it is.
Do you have a scope available to check out the signal on these pins? If you don't I would recommend getting one to debug shit. Something simple and cheap like one of those handheld Chinese multimeter/scope combos are perfect for something like this.
You can also try to directly read the eeprom and see if you can make anything of that, if it's an I2C eeprom you can easily tap into that with something like an Arduino if you don't have the right equipment to directly read it. However in my experience it's hard to make any sense of the data in the eeprom without the source code. And Beko probably had the code burned into the microcontroller directly, with no way to get it out.
I agree it's total BS manufacturers don't release their source code and schematics for stuff like this. Like nobody can do anything with that except repair shit.
I was in a hotel last month that had that, and the led was blue as well. I pulled it forward out of it's little cubby and unplugged that fucker right away. I meant to plug it back before checkout, but I forgot, oops.
You are totally correct, hydrogen is by far the most common element out there, since it's just a simple proton. Any space without a boatload of hydrogen is what we call empty space. Oxygen is also super abundant, so it's basically everywhere. As far as we know water is everywhere and very easy to get. Like I said you'd need to filter and clean it, since it's probably full of nasty stuff, but that's something we could do 100 years ago so it should be easy.
Now it would be possible for some kind of weird system where there is just hydrogen for the star and not a lot else. I'm not sure how that would be possible, but lets say for the sake of argument that it is. Then you won't have any planets as well and you for sure wouldn't have any abundant life to get to civilization levels. The early universe was like this, because a lot of the heavier stuff needed stars to get made. So the early stars systems were just a whole lot of hydrogen and some helium and nothing else, but there obviously wasn't life as we know it back then.
But I don't know how this would extend to an entire region of space. And even if it's for the entire region, why would you stay? Just move on, the region sucks, you have warp capable vessels so just get out of dodge. There's plenty of stars around with a lot of water in their systems, Voyager gets to them within the year.
They also have, you know, space ships, so they have some level of technology. They say the stole the tech, but that's a little too easy. Even if they stole the idea and the blueprints, they still understand a lot of it. They operate and maintain it, so they have some technical level at least. That means their space ships probably have pretty decent water recycling options. Or are they just venting their piss into space like we did in the 60s? If water is such a big deal, they would surely have their tech tree invested into recycling and water saving techniques. Even a ship with replicators like Voyager is a very sealed system, why waste the resources?
I think in the show it's just hand waved away like this is a region with very little water and the audience is just supposed to go with it, instead of thinking even a little bit about it.
The annoying thing is, a lot of modern battery protection circuits will brick themselves once they read a too low battery voltage. So not only will they not charge anymore, they will never charge, even with new cells. It's so dumb and meant to prevent 3rd party refurbished battery packs.
Yes, but that relies on reporting by the power plants themselves. Obviously that's not the most accurate thing.
Satellites offer an independent way to measure CO2 emissions not just from power plants but from all sources, all over the planet. So in that way it makes sense.
There are other ways to measure and those should be done as well, that way the data can be validated.
Yeah it's so dumb, like we have amazing technology, yet the software is fucking terrible.
For example with most keyboard you can have a heat map of where you hit each button. So you can clearly see where the buttons should most comfortable be. However I've never seen any keyboard that could ever make use of that data to morph the shape of the buttons to my patterns. It seems so obvious, otherwise why collect that data?
Instead we keep making the same shitty keyboard over and over again. And big companies monitor all our keypresses because number must go up. And put dumb ass AI powered autocorrect that are trained on all data ever instead of my personal data. I swear that thing "corrects" the right word into the wrong word more often than the other way around.
Somehow touchscreens and keyboard have also gotten worse. I remember my old IPhone 4 I could type so fast without errors. And that screen was fucking tiny. Maybe I'm just too old but modern phones make my hands hurt and I still have errors all the damn time.

She died about 10 years ago. I love and have loved all the pets I've ever had, but Pyxel was something special. She was very headstrong and did whatever she felt like, getting pissed off if you did something she didn't like. But when she was in the mood she would be the sweetest thing in the world.
She was saved from the dumpster, along with her mother and brother. The mother had to be put down and a lot of the brothers and sisters didn't make it from being dumped in a trash bag. But Pyxel and her brother made it and we adopted them from the rescue when they were very young still.
I remember Pyxel sleeping for hours in my lap, or in the cat bed on my desk. When I was working from home, she slept in the cat bed, till she got fed up, went for a drink and a snack only to get back and jump in my lap because it was her time and she would let me know it.
Still miss her every day.
Yeah I always laugh when movies or TV portrait a character being good at strategy by depicting them being good at chess. Those two have zero relation. Total war on the other hand, get good at that and you're cracked at strategy
