If it’s a cheap one, only charge it while home or somehow isolate it from flammables. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby always.

Assumably the bus company would be buying the bus from a company with better quality control then the Chinese ones. There were some knockoffs “hover boards” that catch on fire and that Chinese bus fire.

Battery Management Systems aren’t some new, developing technology. We know how to safely manage Lithium battery, it’s just the certain manufactures are cheaping out on the battery packs and BMS. People didn’t all stop using their phones because of the Note7 fires. People didn’t stop driving cars because of the Ford Pinto. They need to get over their EV fears and be more discerning

John Carmack is a controversial figure, but he’s actually the tech wiz kid the techbros dream they are. He seems to just be interested in pushing technology and had some choice words for Meta when he left. They should have let him have his axe to carry around.

It’s being remade in Japan. Netflix will just slap their “Netflix Original” lable on it even though they weren’t the ones who ordered it in the first place.

I’m not parasocial to follow creators on twitter. I’d like it if they’d post their schedule to an RSS feed, but the lack of that isn’t enough for make a twitter account.

You could always NOT use social media as a news source. Short form media is just ripe for manipulation.
