Meanwhile living the #VillageLife, doing some #woodworking, #carMaintenance, keeping #chickens and #diy all the things.

Another dead cell in a battery pack. Not even 10 years old.

We really need better batteries.

The energy density is acceptable, but the lifespan is not.

@jwcph and not to put too fine a point on it, but long-life bulbs which are wasteful on energy just to allow people to buy them less frequently (but which end up costing consumers more because the electricity is more expensive than purchasing the light bulb!) are, to me, the same kind of waste that is driving a pickup truck around to commute.

I don't care who tells me that's a dumb idea! It's a dumb idea.

This is, imo, a rare case of true symbiosis between bulb manufacturers and the public.

@jwcph so, I don't know what wavelength we are missing here but I'm not going to bother arguing anymore.

Frankly, if there's one thing that I think is revisionist? It's the idea that light bulbs could be a durable good in the first place.

Now, we have the technology to make that the case. In fact, we've had the technology for many decades! Fluorescent and high intensity discharge lamps have been around for a very long time. Yet incandescent bulbs stayed the same because they were optimized.
