This week a new self-serve petrol station called Roo Petroleum opened in Lavington, NSW. This lets you fuel up and pay 24/7 without needing to go in store and buying crap you don't need.
They use the US model of paying before getting fuel.
Facebook comments are filled with people complaining the unmanned nature of this has put someone out of a job.
To me this is a weird take, if a new station opens and leverages technology to perform a task and provide the core service without requiring humans, nobody lost their job, they just didn't need to hire people.
Thoughts?

@gfee @teslaenergy Yeah I thought it was meant to be 8 as well. Until yesterday it was maxing at 5, today to my surprise it was 10, presumable after the update.

Nice little update from @teslaenergy PW3 charging at 10kW. Previously I believe it was limited to 5kW. Sydney, AU.

Incredible photo.
You'll see this a hundred times over the next week, but unlikely many will credit the photographer.
Well done, @philnoble1

@ryanjaycowan @mars_play Not true, PW3 can be AC coupled to an existing inverter. However I just warranty-upgraded my PW2 to PW3+expansion and did exactly as you suggest, decommissioning my Fronius 5kW inverter in favour of using the PW3 solar inverter since I opted to expand solar at the same time

@mars_play Good question. PW3 is best for new projects imo, rather than exisiting homes with solar + inverter. Why? Because PW3 has inverter built in, so you would need to decommission your old inverter.
However to be clear, there is still work arounds.

@Bitkey @TimeChainBTC_ What is the design lifetime of Bitkey’s non replaceable battery?

@longzheng @Tesla @teslaenergy @TeslaAUNZ Only reason I stayed on the TEP was the warranty extension promise. Ironically my Powerwall 2 was approved for warranty replacement earlier today after falling below 70% rated capacity in only 5 years. Hoping the replacement has a better degradation curve

Oh no, @Tesla is shutting down the Tesla Energy Plan in Australia on Sep 30. They don’t say what’s happening to the 5 year extended warranty that’s part of the plan 🤔 would be pissed if that just disappears since it “costed” me to be part of this plan. @teslaenergy @TeslaAUNZ

Q: Can you give us a feature roadmap such as when you will allow users to see their seed phrase?
A: We plan to share more details about our development roadmap in April, giving customers better visibility into what’s coming next for Bitkey.
Regarding seed phrases, Bitkey is designed to offer a secure, user-friendly alternative to traditional self-custody methods. Instead of exposing a seed phrase—which can introduce security risks—Bitkey uses a 2-of-3 multi-signature model, where you control two keys (one on your phone and one on your hardware device) while we hold the third solely for recovery.
This approach eliminates the risk of losing access due to misplaced seed phrases while keeping you in full control of your bitcoin. However, we continue to evaluate how to improve security and flexibility based on community feedback. Stay tuned for roadmap updates soon.

Everyone is a speculator. Fiat forces you to be.
It’s not enough to just do your job, you also have to outpace the destruction of your money.
Spend your paychecks gambling on memes, or contribute to the world and save in #Bitcoin?
Which way, Western man?
