Terrible take.
Solid state batteries will get figured out well before useful non-polluting chemical fuels, rocketing BEVs beyond ICE’s wildest dreams.

The only benefit of ICE over BEV is quick refueling, and that only matters if you’re roadtripping.
The solution is fast-charging BEVs. Edmunds just released a roundup of EV charging times, and showed that with some Hyundais/Kias, you can get 100 miles of range juiced up in 7-8 minutes. Obviously, yes, that’s still slower than dumping some dead dinos in your gashole and taking off, but it’s still pretty quick.
With further technological refinements over time and infrastructure built to give you something to do during 15-20 minute charges, road trips will be perfectly feasible without ICE and will actually probably be more pleasant.
It looks more modern
Not OP, but as an old.lemmy.world user myself, this is not a selling point.
i just want to know how people think this could work in a way that balances out
They don’t. They just think content is generated in a vacuum and it’s their right to consume it in whatever way they see fit.
They’re still doing it, albeit in a slightly pared back fashion.
Not really good enough, honestly. Backpedal further, guys, you’re almost there.
Wendover did a good video that covers this a few months back.
Plane must have accidentally ran into a surface-to-air missile. Y’know, as you do.
Had us in the first half…
Not that it’s a fair comparison because both companies are much more than their gaming divisions, but… Sony’s market cap is around $114 billion. Microsoft’s is $2.49 trillion.
If MS really decided they wanted full control of the console gaming space, they absolutely have the means to spend Sony into oblivion.
All that said, you’d like to think that government regulators would step in and stop the acquisition train in its tracks if they did try to buy everything up like that.
So you start with this, but then…
Why do you think we’re magically going to find zero emission chemical fuels but aren’t going to make solid state batteries? I mean, aside from your being a pretty obvious fossil fuel stooge?
