that’s so weird because I got an email inviting me to participate and I haven’t ever been considered a ‘prolific poster’. I’m only at 60k and 12 years. I had no clue I was invited until I looked in my spam folder.

Manually patched by pulling the commit and building your own source?

Wait so was the hacking live?

Just so you know, there are some major security issues on 0.18. That’s why programming.dev immediately updated. The later bugs on 0.19 we were easily able to work around, while the security issues are major and should be resolved as soon as you can, as it affects every user.

It replaces as many 4k monitors as you can fit in virtual space around you.

Your grocery store has cell service? I lose all service the second I step inside mine

It replaces all your monitors for your workstation in a single portable device. That alone is worth it for a lot of people.

The battery pack is literally just USB c.

Hasn’t vaping been recently associated with memory loss? I know it might be hard, but maybe cut back on that and see if it improves. If it doesn’t it might be environmental like mold, sleep disturbances (like apnea), carbon monoxide, etc. I’d start by changing things in your environment one by one and see if it helps.

Regenerative braking only can recapture something like 2-5% of lost energy. The bigger factor is exactly what the other person said.

thanks for the picture. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. Just to check, I went over and looked at my wife’s work laptop and it’s not on that keyboard, but it is on her external keyboard, but not as a separate key, it’s part of the print screen button!

Yes, you’re essentially paying for download capacity. But I never have to worry about viruses or my ISP saying anything. And downloads are instant.

I haven’t tried it for gaming or music. Like always, piracy is a service problem. Spotify and Steam have solved the service problem so I pay for those. Haven’t felt like pirating in a game in 14 years due to it, and spotify literally has every song I could ever want to listen to on the planet.

By not torrenting. Use Usenet instead. Way safer and easier. Once I went Usenet I literally haven’t touched a single torrent in over a decade.

I’ve never even heard of this key that you are talking about, yet it’s mentioned several times in this thread.

I gave my wife a keyboard with an any key on it (custom design I made from wasd) and it doesn’t work for anything that says “press any key”. Quite annoying honestly.

Maybe those binders are correct for you in your EV but not for me with my ICE.

I’ve never needed 15 minutes to get gas. As long as there’s an open pump, if all I’m doing is gassing up, it’s 5 minutes, if that.

on road trips that’s all your doing? You’re not going in for a bathroom break and to buy snacks? Somehow I highly doubt that and even if you are you are in the minority. There’s a reason they’re called rest stops out on long stretches of roads, they’re not just for gas.

But if I need a new car in the next 5 years, I’m not even considering one, and most of the reasons for that are reasons that proponents are acknowledging, even as they’re trying to be patronizing and condescending and shaming anyone who points out valid drawbacks.

you haven’t pointed out any drawbacks, you’ve just spread a bunch of incorrect FUD.

It’s not like people are saying EVs are bad, just that the reality of the situation right now is that, for many, deciding to switch over to one from an ICE will mean, in some ways, changing the ways they live around the limitations and necessities that come with the EV, and that for many, these changes tip the scales away from the EV.

This is also incorrect, unless you are towing things. Like I said before. This is just a bunch of FUD.

edit: i just reread your initial comment. you literally bring up getting a snack and using the restroom. ahaha you can’t even keep your own story straight.

we’re talking going from a 10 minute break to get gas, grab a snack and use the restroom to more like 30 minutes waiting for the car

I’m very interested in why an ev wouldn’t work for your work travel schedule.

Modern EVs charge in less than 15 minutes so… it’s really not longer than a gas stop, at least not in any situation I’ve been in and I own two gas vehicles and an ev. Like I literally get 200+ miles of range in 15 minutes. Your numbers are just way way way off.

And what in the world are you talking about. 1000 to rent a car two times a year? Where the fuck are you renting from?

I’m sorry but you’re just really really really misinformed here. There are plenty of aaa charging services if you get stuck, but you’re not gonna get stuck cuz EVs are good about letting you know if you’re gonna be in trouble.

I don’t really want to spend the time to refute every point in your post, just seriously, go try renting a modem ev (non-American, American EVs are terrible)

The estimates I saw for battery life were talking about replacement time, not just ranging to a minimal capacity. Even discussions I’ve read on reddit have basically had most people stating that if you buy a used EV the batteries would likely need replaced. I don’t have anything to go on for realistic expectations except the statements from people who have owned an EV.

That’s because people are obsessed with long ranges. You don’t need long range. EVs last plenty fine, even with reduced distance. Undecided with Matt Ferrell has covered this a lot.

I’ve been using full synthetic in my SUV, it’s good for 20k miles or more so I replace it every couple years at a cost of around $60. So around $450 so far? I changed oil in my old car a little less frequently with plain dino oil, so that was maybe $400 through a lifetime of around 300k miles.

You’re damaging your car. You should be changing your oil at minimum every 6k miles. 20k is ridiculous. 6k is the number for full synthetic, 3-4k is for non synthetic. Project farm covers this and does a ton of tests to show you why.

And sure, there are minor costs like replacing the spark plugs every decade, I spent $80 on a new power steering pump for the SUV and I need to pick up a new coolant thermostat soon. I don’t remember if I replaced the belt on my truck or my wife’s car, and they get new batteries every 5+ years as needed. Oh and I had to replace the transmission on the old car, that cost all of $250 to pick up from a junk yard. So yeah, there’s a few other things I didn’t add in. Now what kind of maintenance has to be done on an EV, and what kind of prices are you looking at for replacement parts?

$0 dollars. Windshield washer fluid is all I’ve had to touch. On our towing truck I had to replace a gas line from gas destroying the line. Gas vehicles are soooo much more expensive in every single way. There’s a ton of studies on this dude.
