In today’s Lightning Round video, I take a look at the coverage of Donut Labs’ new solid state battery that they previewed at CES in January. As independent tests start rolling out, the picture has become more complicated. Does it meet the specs they promised? Is it even real solid state? We’ll take a look. We also look at bio-computers, IQ tests, existential dread, and wild weather patterns. Check out these videos from Matt Ferrell, Ziroth, and Two Bit daVinci for more on the Donut battery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H45HXs4xXfA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNX47A8BysE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8ljwigh9jA https://youtu.be/vWwPySIm9tU?si=iYQRcv2xHL-d9ZWI Want to support the channel?
