  • Wow, the US education system must be improved.

    I pay my electric bill by the kWh too, and I don’t live in the US. When it comes to household and EV energy consumption, kWh is the unit of choice.

    1J is 3600Wh.

    No, if you’re going to lecture people on this, at least be right about facts. 1W is 1J/s. So multiply by an hour and you get 1Wh = 3600J

    That’s literraly the same thing,

    It’s not literally the same thing. The two units are linearly proportional to each other, but they’re not the same. If they were the same, then this discussion would be rather silly.

    but the name is less confusing because people tend to confuse W and Wh

    Finally, something I can agree with. But that’s only because physics is so undervalued in most educational systems.

    [a] Fork That Promises Better Features

    Have they released anything yet? Or are we at the project stage, where they’re yelling at their CLI confused about git?

    Promises are cheap, releases matter. I mean I could announce a project called Betterfox, promising to bring better features to a well-known browser. But in reality I’m by myself, overly ambitious, and going to leave the github page abandoned after the initial commit.
