Diversity is important, but it’s still better to go after larger sources of energy first. There’s just not much energy to be recovered from falling rain or waste from cars.
Make the cars waste less energy, or the transit system in general is much easier and will actually save money long term.
Ehh it’s still a rubbish idea, that money would be much better spent going after primary producers of energy, like solar, wind, geothermal, or nuclear.
Some napkin math and an equivalent area of solar, say over a road or parking lot would produce 3.5 million kwh in a year.
People didn’t buy the last mini, so why would Apple do it again?

Most people have pretty decent ai hardware already in the form of a gpu.
Sure dedicated hardware might be more efficient for mobile devices, but that’s already done better in the cloud.
Closest in the united States is a chevy bolt, but that’s still pretty far.
I’d love a fairly dumb ev. Give me just enough computer for battery/charging management and let me do the rest.
I think at that point I’d mail a certified letter and cancel whatever card it’s on.
That probably wouldn’t work but one can dream.
It’s still free, just under a different plan named lite https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/plan/lite/
Yeah it’s annoying and shitty, but it’s not so bad.
“This is the first demonstration of high resolution up-conversion imaging from 1550-nm infrared to visible 550-nm light in a non-local metasurface," said author Rocio Camacho Morales. "We choose these wavelengths because 1,550 nm, an infrared light, is commonly used for telecommunications, and 550 nm is visible light to which human eyes are highly sensitive. Future research will include expanding the range of wavelengths the device is sensitive to, aiming to obtain broadband IR imaging, as well as exploring image processing, including edge detection.”
That does not sound like an Infrared camera.
They’ve had fab problems for years, in that it cost them a ton on money and much longer than desired to shrink nodes, so they’ve fallen from a leader in fab production to being behind.
Not to mention there’s not much money to be made from fabs, unless your tsmc.
AMD, Qualcomm, Nvidia, Google, Apple, are all huge tech companies that design their own cutting edge chips, and only Samsung is another company that both designs and produces chips.
