Battery lifetimes are specced as 80% capacity remaining. So a 300 mile range becomes 240 miles. Still highly usable.

“Physical release”

heh

I’m only an amateur but I’m happy to give it a go

Linking to reddit? Blech.

Nice tin-foil hat you have there

They need to show profit to their investors. They sunk millions into NFT bullshit and now the only way is to force everyone into the official app to serve ads and whatever other nefarious ideas they have.

It’s a short term plan, guaranteed.

Impaired is impaired. Shouldn’t drive if your ability is compromised, especially when most people only start off with half a clue.

Coffee is also dangerous in the sense that it masks the sensation of fatigue, but you are still impaired. Driving tired is extremely dangerous as well.

I feel like it’s harder to break the bootloader these days. All my dual-booting escapades worked fine, I still have most of my hair, and there’s no way my Linux skills have improved that much.

In their defence, the development cycles are quite long… takes a while to write a script, animate it, and voice it. But I do fear that it will be a shadow of its former self. 10 years is a long time.

The last finale finished in such amazing fashion I’m fearful of how you can successfully rejuvenate the series. What stories do you tell after “happily ever after”?

I know the story left open the idea of more episodes but for me it kinda feels like being told you can spend another 5 years with your late grandfather.

Anyway I’m still gonna bloody well watch it. It’s Futurama.

It takes me about a week of holiday before I can read. No work stress, and less obsession with the continual dopamine hits of smart phones, eventually lets my brain relax enough to pick up a book.

Every time I come back from holidays I tell myself I should keep reading. I never have kept it up though…

The OOTB experience of everything is declining

The tutorials and guides on reddit are invariably reposts from somewhere else. There will be the occasional gem that is nowhere to be found but on balance I’d say reddit could vanish and it wouldn’t matter in the long run.

Niche web forums still exist around a discrete interest group, they have lost a lot of traffic to enshittified giants but I think the people who post their lazy questions on facebook groups are better off there anyway. Repeat questions was an issue on web forums and still is, but I think having an additional torrent of ask-before-search users would make forums untenable now.

The internet was amazing when only technically-capable people were on it. Or in other words, everything gets ruined by being too popular.

Kinda interesting to hear of that happening but at the end of the day, if they want to roll back my posts good luck to them, it will cost them more effort than it did for me to run a script to edit/delete

I decided I was done there and did mine before the 12th

I tried to look at a reddit link via mobile web browser and it said something really stupid like… we can’t show you this on the web you need to use the app.

Dafuq? Hell no. I guess I’m not looking at it then. Jumped the shark, well and truly.

The 9to5mac article has just the right amount of spiteful contempt. Nice.
