It depends on the country. When I filter for specific countries, it really can be very rare.
Look at the difference between Germany and say Austria, for example. Or if you must compare two large countries Germany and France. There is quite a large gap between different countries.
Electron's release cycle is highly impacted by Chromium's release cycle because of how tightly coupled it is, so unfortunately this feels unlikely to happen.
Replacing solar panels is cheaper and easier than replacing roof tiles, so you can even use solar panels as hail protection for your roof :^) (I'm half-serious, ofc)
Windows XP lived thorough 6 GB (minimum requirement - 1.5 GB, but I don't recall seeing drives less than six gigs at the time) to 2 TB HDD's. That's literally a 333x increase, which NTFS handled just fine. From min requirement it'd be a 1000x increase.
Windows XP's default clustering (well, until SP2 at least) "only" allowed for 128GB disks. The cluster size was later increased. The 2TB limit was generally a limit for the BIOS code rather than an OS limit, as NTFS will happily scale beyond 2TB.
Windows NT 4 already contained the code necessary to allow for up to 16 exabyte partitions (https://web.archive.org/web/20010208131204/http://support.mi...), but the hardware it was running on probably didn't support anything bigger than a few terabytes. Sure, every text file takes up at least 2MB, but with an exabyte disk, you probably don't care about wasting sectors like that.
a system that can be scaled 333x or pushed into radically different allocation patterns by changing one or two constants seems like an odd choice for arguing that YAGNI and you shouldn't plan for anything beyond 10x/should plan for a system rearchitecture at that scale. That seems very much like a system that thought ahead and picked meaningful knobs to allow drastic changes in use-case to suit the situation.
When XP came out, you already had 100 GB consumer drives on the market that it had to support out of the box, so that's where I'd put the design requirements "starting point". That makes it only one order of magnitude bigger, similar to the 10x.
There are industrial microSD's with pSLC memory, e.g. Kingston's SDCIT2 line. Those are significantly more durable - in a few years of using them I haven't managed to kill a single one. Much pricier per-GB, though.
Other than southern Spain, France, Italy and Greece, you're not going to run off-grid anywhere in Europe. Too little sun in the winter for heating needs. Unless you're considering small-scale wind power installations, but I cannot imagine what costs those could incur in installation alone.
Up in Orkney on vacation, the pretty constant wind all year (according to relatives) with a little solar, battery storage and heat pumps, I reckon off-grid might be possible. Add in starlink for internet and I might just stay here.
Not sure of the cost (need to do the research) but all of the above are getting cheaper. A small wind turbine can’t be that costly, surely.
Wind turbines in my research are pretty terrible unless run at scale (massive). YMMV but when I last looked into it, small turbines tended to be 1) noise polluters, 2) not very large power generators and 3) poor build quality.
The dilemma with wind turbines is that the small ones tend to be inefficient (and still much more expensive than solar), and large ones require huge up-front investments.
I'd love to be proven wrong about this though, if anybody has links to affordable wind turbines / generators, I'd be interested.
When I’ve looked into this before for a client in Scotland, it seems the smallest size that made sense in terms of the factors other commenters have mentioned was about £50,000 to install. Also it requires planning permission which is much harder to get for a wind turbine than for solar PV which you can often install without getting explicit permission under ‘permitted development’ rules.
You can run a generator to charge batteries or provide additional capacity when needed.
It would be ideal to have full coverage with "renewables" (isn't oil and gas a renewable just on a longer timeline?) but don't let perfect be the enemy of good if you want to move off-grid.
I do lack familiarity with the European environment, but between geothermal, wind, hydro and natural gas backup, is it really feasible as it is in places where solar gives 0.01 USD kWh prices?
Do you get the 95% number from the dashboard or from actual mileage that you’re able to drive? In my experience those two metrics can be very different, e.g. a vehicle with reported battery health of 80% getting just half of original range.
From the dashboard, and the Tesla BMS is fairly accurate as long as you allow it to calibrate at 100% charge occasionally.
I have also not seen a noticeable change in my range for actual long distance driving over those years, and I do occasionally stretch it to near its full range.
The biggest change was putting wider, higher-performance all season tires on after the factory eco tires were worn out. Still I mostly noticed that efficiency change by tracking my stats on trips. There wasn’t really a noticeable difference from the drivers seat.
