Cost and materials wise, Cathode are a larger portion.

Of course, Anodes are of extreme importance as well but Graphite\Silicon are more manageable than Nickel for example.

Anodes are more of an enabler for other things. for instance, anode almost solely dictates the charging rate of the battery. very important parameter for sure.

Nickel is viable for mining in set regions as I've said before.

Although Li-ion batteries are named over lithium, they require quite a small amount of it compared to other materials. the bulk of the battery is the Cathode.

If you look strategically Russia is in trouble, their economy is brittle and heavily relies on fossils, the same fossils the west is phasing out for "clean" alternatives.

Fuel dependency will definitely drop in the coming decade, what Russia has beyond it?

Lithium-ion batteries is just one, albeit very popular, option.

You have batteries that do not use lithium at all.

The battery market is going to see several different technologies for different use cases.

Nickel is quite rare in the sense that the volume available for us on earth isn't as robust as something like iron or lithium, which are extremely abundant.

Also Nickel is highly concentrated in set regions which also causes problems.

Nickel & Cobalt are the most expensive metals in NCA/NMC batteries which are very common today.

Yes! just that need to start mining massive amount of it.

But there are batteries that don't rely on lithium and many other alternative technologies.

For the most part yes.

It is true that many batteries today use rare earth metals like Nickel or Cobalt but there are plenty of good alternatives that don't.

Companies start using chemistries like LFP which relies mostly on iron, which is low cost and abundant.

There are development when it comes to Sodium-ion based batteries which should be very scalable and cheap.

There are magnesium-based chemistries that hold a lot of potential as well.

As for recycling, it should prove financial for some batteries as the materials can cover the recycling cost.

Actually, techwise AMD has outperformed Nvidia. Nvidia was only able to keep up because they used Samsung 8nm which is extremely cheap.

AMD silicon is doing much better when it comes to perf/area, Nvidia chips are massive, also Nvidia uses high end expensive GDDR6X memory and still can't completely win the throne.

Nvidia strength is in their software eco-system, things like CUDA and ML frameworks as well as it's popularity among gamers.

Intel is still far behind TSMC when it comes to manufacturing and retook the crown against an old year old architecture from AMD.

* to be clear, I'm not saying AMD is completely dominating Intel, I actually think things today are quite tight. close competition. And once you start looking at players like Apple or Qualcomm, things are looking very competitive.

People try to address that will simpler solutions that wouldn't break backwards compatibility or require a full re-write.

Isolation, mitigation and prevention of exploitation is common.

Did you even read what you linked? I wouldn't say "already happening" more like first early steps. Operating systems have a massive attack surface, would take years to convert code from C\C++ to Rust and likely be more vulnerable initially(the old code base went through decades of scrutiny, hundreds of scanners\fuzzers etc)

definitely rare and highly targeted exploits.

Exploits for mobile phones in the "open market" are in the millions of dollars, for a single working exploit.

But the incentive is growing as these devices are becoming the center of our lives.

Yes but practically this isn't viable.

Nothing is impossible unless it disobeys the laws of physics(which are also limited to what we currently know)

It would be equivalent to saying, well it isn't economic enough for energy companies to simply create nuclear fusion reactors...

Some things are just extremely hard and there's no obvious answer even if you had "unlimited" funds.

As if rewriting entire OS components is easy or viable for vendors, even big ones like Apple or Microsoft.

Also backwards compatibility is a feature many wouldn't give away for extra security, at least not now.

Had to chime in after seeing this comment. LTT is definitely a click-bait, simple and shallow channel but that's their strength.

LTT wouldn't be as big if they did highly technical "boring" analysis, they can be so big and influential because they are light, layman-friendly almost at a stupid level.

Youtube is about attracting the crowd and let me tell you something, the crowd isn't very smart for the most part.

Password managers offer plenty of perks. Automatic logins, notes, tokens\OTP and more.

Writing passwords each time is so old now. there are plenty of good password managers either local or cloud based.

While I agree, Cloud based PM do have other issues.

Mainly with compromised\rogue updates, you push a malicious update to customers and then get access without needing to compromise the hosts.

Very similar to a supply-chain attack.

It doesn't compromise the master-password and is not wide-reaching as it requires the victim to be lured to a specific website.

Doesn't match what people claim here

That's still an issue. humanly generated passwords tend to be predictable, repetitive and not very long.

A computer will always do a better job at generating\remembering passwords.

hardware 2FA is definitely a good idea.

You're still trying to defend your position... sad.

Claiming Tesla is the same as VW which basically buys batteries and shoves them into existing chassis\frames, is a joke.

Tesla produces most of the worlds batteries:

https://www.mining.com/muskmobiles-running-rivals-off-the-ro...

In their own factories, which automaker has this level of integration?

Tesla has the best battery longevity metrics according to thousands of tested cars: https://electrek.co/2018/04/14/tesla-battery-degradation-dat...

Tesla is the only company with vast\robust charging network: https://hbr.org/2021/01/how-teslas-charging-stations-left-ot...

Tesla is the only company seriously investing in their own battery facilities. boots on the ground, working facilities.

Now tell me how Tesla is just like any other player in the EV space again?

You don't have to believe me but I don't own a tesla nor do I own Tesla stocks.

Tesla do have their own custom chemistry and doping, it is written all over the internet you're willing to read that.

TEsla has several patents and their own research group: https://www.scribd.com/document/440951044/Tesla-battery-pate...

https://www.scribd.com/document/424878572/J-Electrochem-Soc-...

just to name a few. to me you seem like a Tesla skeptic, unwilling to acknowledge their success

I really really hope that we will have competition coming from VW, Toyota.

We need to advance the technology which is still not good enough for our global needs, but knowing where these two are.... I'm skeptical

200kwh? that's a disaster then.

200Kwh * 40K = 8Gwh?!

that's unrealistic, battery production is the single most limiting factor for all EV's.

big batteries = low volumes

Ford had years of domination, didn't it?

It is extremely hard to predict 15 years from now but the next five years?

There are no competitors(perhaps besides Chinese battery makers) everyone is still in early R&D\prototype phases.

Established players can't produce these numbers for their own EV's so you believe a startup will?

Do people remember how much shit Tesla went through?

Wrong. Tesla has custom designs from form factor to chemistry.

Panasonic was crucial at the begining with their own designed\made 18650. their role is shrinking fast

Tesla's expertise when it comes to batteries is unmatched in the auto-motive industry, no doubt about that.

Tesla is not using Panasonic at all for their new batteries.

It's far far worse. Tesla is probably the only company in the world that produces\designs its own batteries, motors and electronics.

Most "competitors" are just buying batteries\electronics from a vendor and shoving it in.

Tesla partnered with Panasonic and created their own custom modules(2170), now they plan to do everything with the newly announced 4680(from raw materials to products).

They are truly unmatched.

so you're suggesting that someone is going to attempt to guess a 6 digit code?

this is not offline brute-force, you're not going to iterate over thousands of codes...

Passwords are permanent, that's the main difference. the code is only relevant to 30 secs after that it is useless. passwords are always useful because they never change.

Also people tend to re-use or slightly modify their password. with TOTP codes, the previous code doesn't tell you anything regarding the next code.

Both Sony and Microsoft introduced a lot of new innovations. I'm not sure what you're whining about.

We finally have high performance SSD's which revolutionizes streaming. we have advanced shaders that should allow extreme levels of geometric detail, custom audio engines and more.

Last gen felt like a compromise with machines using outdated hardware, this gen is state of the art with tons of potential

the SSD is the game changer. no one got to fully use it yet.

Remember that games take years to develop and it takes time to build engines that utilize new hardware.

RDNA 2 ofc is also a very good architecture with great features

I work in the industry if it wasn't obvious though for years now nothing to do with phishing but I do have some experience shall we say.

1. Building a phishing page and can accept 2FA and in real time(remember code is useless after 30 sec) logs in to an account is much harder. most attacks are low quality junk.

2. From a detection standpoint, this is awesome. the attacker has to log in real-time. he will likely send that link to hundreds of people = good telemetry to detect anomalies\fraudulent logins.

3.* Another pain I remember observing was regarding the login process itself. Websites tend to change their log in UI\processes, different websites have different layouts.

This makes it frustrating and tedious maintain, bank changes the login prompt, attacker has to modify code to accommodate that.

4. Data doesn't lie, it is not bulletproof but it does offer significantly higher level of protection. saw that in actual enterprise with my own eyes.
