By patents I meant for their charging standard, NOT their cars, which I understand the swap.

This article is what I'm referring to.

Tesla WANTS their charging to be the standardized mechanism for EVs. They opened up their patents and published all the materials so other manufacturers could use their technology. They invested just as heavily in the Supercharging network as they have their vehicles, and if it became the NA standard, they'd make more money from charging than selling cars.

I agree about monopolization, but i think standardization is important too. having adapters and about 10 different charging "apps" is annoying, and it needs to be standardized. Tesla has the biggest network and most vehicles, so it'd make sense to use that format.

It's strange, in movies they always showed tsunamis as a big, arching wave. Somehow, real tsunamis are more terrifying, because it's not one big wave, it's a constant push / flow of water that just doesn't stop.

Nah, I regularly stomped cross play folks in Destiny 2 Crucible on Stadia.

Playing a 4k60fps stream that felt 100% native to me on my internet. Toward the end it was all I used Stadia for, to run weekly content in Destiny 2.

So the top two shows are about people eating (or trying to eat) kids.

Cool.
