Ahgong Supercharged March 25, 2014 Share March 25, 2014 Batteries still suck tho battery technology has not advanced much if you look at the development in that department. looks like battery technology has already reached its peak. the next wave is most likely green technology. aka solar, kinetic charging and wearable tech which can charge batteries with your movement/body heat... etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fast1 Supersonic March 25, 2014 Share March 25, 2014 (edited) Batteries still suck tho How true. Why can't they standardise the blardy 1.5V cell to *one* single size? I realise there are differences in capacity, but seriously, even if they standardised everything to AAA, I would prefer more frequent battery changes to having to store both AA and AAA (and often C cells as well). Even the chemistry can be made standard - is there really a need for "standard", "heavy duty", "alkaline" and the other newer non-rechargeable types? Just choose the best damn one!

Best thing is, it's still workable!!! hahahah!!! Bitch please, during my school days we are still using 600kb floppy disks before they invent the 1.2mb "high-density floppy" Our PC is running on 8086 processor with 640kb built-in RAM. We ran DOS via diskettes and our monitor can only display 3 colors in 2 different templated. red,green,yellow or blue,magenta,white. We ran program in very specific way. reboot to run a game, reboot to run word proccessor, reboot to run printshop to print from dot matrix printer, reboot to run programming tools. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

[thumbsup] Marketing strategy mah. Why need so many different cars on the road? People all wanna be individual. Then again, batteries are utilities.. So, standardise would be better. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvobrick Supersonic March 25, 2014 Share March 25, 2014 8086? Haha, my first computer was an Apple IIe. My first computer was a Pineapple.... probably IIe also. And later upgraded to a 486 with VGA - about $3500 - a fortune back then! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually if you are talking about A, B, C, D size.. notice they are of the same length... u can get different thickness jackets to fit the A cell to become B, C or D... just need to store A cell can liao Also Panasonic's Eneloop rechargeables are quite good... ultra high capacity and best of all its holds its charge very well over time... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime new fancy game came out, gotta edit config.sys and autoexec.bat or else cannot run. Mine was a 80286. Cost a bomb then. $3k+ I think. Was an expert in config and autoexec back then too [laugh] Still dunno why the need for fancy turbo button.
