Is the maximum 24 characters because their database column is a VARCHAR(24)? That’s one of the first questions that I thought of. Sure, it doesn’t guarantee plaintext, but it’s a indicator that it may be stored plaintext, considering hashing doesn’t care about length. Or at the very least whoever has had eyes on this code doesn’t know shit about security, which makes me less confident in the product as a whole.

The only reason I can think of to have a maximum would be to save on bandwidth and CPU cycles, and even then 24 characters is ridiculously stingy when the difference would be negligible.

I’ll limit this to devices in use.

• phone
• laptop for work and occasionally personal
• steam deck
• gaming desktop
• 4 bay Asus NAS
• 2 mini PCs (headless)
• 9 VPSes of varying size (I get them free via work)

I wouldn’t really be able to tell with the information it provides. But that 1KW figure does factor in the camera array since I can access it idle.

The amount of power those screens use is peanuts compared to the drive train.

I can chill in my car with AC, screens, and charge my steam deck for hours and my battery only goes down a couple %.

My car uses 1KW in that state. That’s as precise as it shows me, so I’m guessing it’s rounded up. Taking it at face value, with a 65KWh battery it would take 65 hours to drain completely (I like easy math).

True, especially if it’s oriented at a consumer and not commercial.

Edge AI inference is very valuable, just not in this context.

Dang, I did a Ctrl + F on used but should have considered that as an indicator lol.

A couple weeks after getting it I took it on a 1800 mile road trip. The one I got is a '22 Chevy Bolt EUV, the DC fast charge tech is slower than newer stuff and even older Tesla stuff (caps out at 50KW), but honestly that wasn’t that noticeable except toward the end when I started getting impatient. ABRP (A Better Route Planner) and the NACS adapter were definitely confidence boosters.

Hey look, I’m part of this statistic! I think, assuming it factors in used EV sales.

Loving it so far, I get free charging at work and access to the HOV lane as a solo driver. My commute has gone down by about 15 minutes as well.

Considering the little girl brought it in, it’s definitely more plausible she wouldn’t notice the magnet. And considering the amount of parents who give hamsters as pets and never take any responsibility over it themselves, even more so.

But I’d also assume, with no real insight into the behavior of hamsters, that one in this situation would wind up either tearing it’s cheek off (depending on the strength of the magnet) or figuring out it can dislodge / move enough to free it.
