NAND density is always useful for the ultra portable end, be it used in applications like phones, portable gaming devices, microcontroller boards and such, where space or pci-e lanes is often the limiting factor. when the capacity of nand grows, options become better, as nand usually doubles in capacity per chip.

parking lots would require the government to own said parking lots. its why you often see them at schools (because its government funded)

think of it similar to consumer examples like adobe products. there are a lot of people/industries tied to it where they can start to charge ludicrous prices. while there are alternatives, there is also a cost attached to retooling and retraining people with the new tech.

that requires changing the political opinions of people due to usps being a governmental service.

thr manifest v3 version is basically ublock origin lite, whoch has extremely limited control of what you can and cant do.

given expected 2% target inflation of prices YOY, that's about 8.3%/yr raise good for them.

EDF was never meant to be visually good, as part of its charm is spamming the shit of weird ass bugs and aliens for you to attack, and be able to run on low spec hardware.

basically to them, quantity/variety > quality of enemies

basically the major points of change was launch, then cyberpunk edgerunners clothing dlc patch (1.0 but bigs fixed). 2.0 rewrote some of the games mechanics that dropped before the expansion. and then the expansion was released (which added new endings)

id consider them making it if they were also the one who designed the 3d object without taking someone elses work. if they just downloaded a model, made minor changes than print it, I would not consider it their work.

its probably fictionally calculated like sales are to piracy. just because someone pirated a game/software doesnt mean they would have bought said thing at asking price had the piracy option not existed.

well its usually not in your basement, but should be outside in a home sized battery cage (similar to those used in parking lots to charge EVs). in a more ideal time period, itll just be another external installment like outdoor AC units. to get there, home energy storage has to get cheap enough so that people installing solar at home also opt for energy storage.

one of the big problems EV have is most charge at home at night when peak usage is at instead of the most opportune time, which is when the sun is up during working hours. Its why theres a movement to install charging stations at workplace buildings as a benefit to workers (no longer pay for "gas"). If the average home user had a battery wall, then you can just circumvent that problem alltogether.

not saying they wont be used of course, just less optimal because the size and characteristics of the battery may be less ideal. for example, while salt ion batteries wear level decreases at a slower rate than Lithium ion based batteries, when salt ion batteries go bad, they suddenly stop working (e.g goes from a wear level of say like 60% to almost immediately zero) which is not the ideal situation to be in
