To explain, this is my car's (Hyundai Ioniq 5) vehicle-to-load function in action.
A simple adapter signals the car to backfeed AC voltage from an inverter to the charge port (This is a generic adapter, btw, teardowns of the official unit reveal it's basically just a resistor across the control pins).

Pretty neat™

Death by middle-management.

every two weeks i go on ebay and look at new-ish thinkpads. but i never hit 'buy'. because really i don't want a new thinkpad. i want to keep using my x200s. i love the x200s. the whole 'looking at new laptops' thing. it's just deflection. what i actually want is for fucking everybody to stop putting a quantity of javascript onto every web page that unrolls into billions of CPU cycles worth of shit to deal with just to show A Content
