Electric Cars: Challenges for Long-Term Use

In recent times, the electric vehicles have been hyped too much as future automotive, an eco-friendly and sustainable substitute for gas-powered cars. However, for me there few concerns about it, like the performance of electric cars over the long-term, including their resale value and the endurance of the lithium batteries.

• Resale Value of Electric Cars: One of the most significant worries for potential electric car purchasers is the uncertainty surrounding their resale value. Resale value plays major role during car purchase, as most people prefer cars that holds the purchase over longer run and electric car for that matter, doesn’t have any data on holding purchase value in long-term. Additionally, there is a significant difference among electric car models, making it difficult to determine a clear market value like new technology updates over years, degradation of battery life and reduced driving range.
• Longevity of Lithium Batteries: The most significant obstacles while opting for electric cars is the endurance of their lithium batteries over the years. No matter how good the lithium batteries are maintained, they have chemical characteristics of losing charging capacity over time. This can lead to faster battery draining, durability on rough roads and reduced driving range, which can be a significant issue for drivers who rely on their electric cars daily.

As electric cars continue to evolve, the car manufacturers should focus on making it more advanced and efficient in batteries, than making them more appealing to buyers with their pricing or increased range. To read more such articles, please feel free to check out “G R Team Sites”

Lack of Lock and Unlock Folder Option in MAC OS

Despite many unique benefits in latest software update, Mac OS has a notable limitation in terms of its file management capabilities. Specifically, Mac OS does not have built-in option to lock and unlock folders, making it challenging for users to protect their sensitive data from unauthorized or accidental access. In this article, we'll explore the absence of this most sought-after feature in Mac OS and the potential impact of its unavailability.

Importance of Locking and Unlocking Folders
Locking and unlocking folders is a basic file management feature that allows users to protect their sensitive data. By locking a folder, users can restrict access with password or Touch ID authentication to the contents of the folder, preventing unauthorized access to their private information or sensitive files.

Mac OS does not have a built-in option to lock and unlock folders either through password or touch-ID, making it challenging for users to protect their sensitive data. This limitation is especially concerning for users who need to keep their confidential information or files, such as business owners, lawyers, and financial professionals. Additionally, Mac OS does not provide an easy and convenient way to password-protect folders, making it difficult for users to ensure the security of their sensitive data.

My final thoughts
In conclusion, the absence of a built-in option to lock and unlock folders in Mac OS is a notable limitation for users who need to protect their sensitive data. Although alternative solutions are available, such as third-party software or encrypted disk images, the lack of a built-in solution makes it challenging for users to ensure the security of their sensitive data in MAC laptops or desktops. As technology continues to advance, Apple should consider incorporating this most sought-after built-in option to lock and unlock folders in the future Mac OS software updates. The increasing demand for data security and the growing need for a convenient and easy-to-use solution for folder locking and unlocking may push Apple to address this issue in future.

By stepping into social media platform, Elon Musk would be forced into look out for further opportunities to make inroads on other sectors and following business opportunities might be few of those

• Information Technology (IT) Software solutions for businesses: Amazon has grown bigger by stepping into AWS cloud solutions and offering cloud services to businesses. Similarly, Elon Musk or Tesla would step into offering IT software solutions for businesses and further monetize the solutions by offering it at never-imagines low-cost model.
• Technology solutions for consumers: The other option that Elon Musk or Tesla would foray will be the IT software or Technology solutions for direct-to-consumer market and the services would help them to monetize further with their success of Tesla Car models & affordable charging option.

Even-though the above suggestions might not happen immediately, as the consolidation of IT businesses happens in the North American market, Elon Musk or Tesla would be forced to foray into offering Technology or IT software solutions for businesses and consumer market.

Why waiting for M2 Pro is not worth it

Apple could either have an October event in 2022 or could just have press release about the latest product or software launches, as most considerable announcements are covered in September event and the latest launch could only be minor. However, for most performance-oriented users, the M2 Pro would be their most awaited launch and the probability of its launch is much higher now than ever. For me, the M2 Pro launch would not be as significant as the M1 Pro version and may have following implications.

• M2 Pro performance increase would be negligible: With the launch of M2 version as a successor to M1 version, Apple has made it clear that there would not be considerable increase in performance or new features in every version of the Chipset launch and they would slow down their innovations in future releases. In such decisions, the M2 Pro performance would not be as considerable as M1 Pro and other than slight configuration tweaks, there would not be much drastic improvements.
• Same design and no major unique features: The M1 Pro version were already packed up with lot of new features like Pro-motion display and advanced SSD/Media engine configurations. So, the newer M2 Pro version might not have any drastic configuration updates or hardware changes over the earlier M1 Pro version, as the change in design or new feature might have been tipped in their latest MacOS software launch.

Hope the above predictions are helpful for people who were waiting for the launch of M2 Pro version and looking to buy latest version of M1 pro with exciting deals & offers. For more such articles or latest information, please feel free to check out the “G R Team Sites”

My 2012 MacBook Pro started to create issues after long time

I have been using 2012 MacBook pro for a long time and I always prefer MacBook devices for their reliability and long-term usability. However, out of no-where I experienced following symptoms in my MacBook pro and was grateful that it was working still now.

• Random shutdown and SMC reset: One fine day, while I was working on my personal project out of nowhere, my MacBook pro shutdown all by itself and it didn’t restart as it usually does in my earlier times when I stress out the RAM with multiple projects. This random shutdown was suspicious, the luck was in my favor, as my MacBook was able to boot again, and I didn’t want to take a chance and performed SMC reset. So, the issue was resolved for the time being and continued my personal project work.
• Power Failure and Cable Change: After SMC reset, my 2012 MacBook pro was working fine for past few weeks and out of nowhere the laptop got shutdown again. But this time laptop was not booting as well, and I was completely scared. After few minutes, I noticed that there was no light in the power cable and diagnosed that the power cable had issues and time has come for replacement. After power cable replacement, the laptop was working fine, and it was not the end.

My MacBook pro has started to show signs of wear out and the problem had increased by each week. To know more about how my MacBook pro was failing, please feel free to check out “G R Team Sites”
