EV sales have not fallen, cooled, slowed or slumped. Stop lying in headlines.
  • Petrol and diesel cars have dropped more. The main problem is Germany where they’ve dropped the subsidies from one day to the next late last year and have since been discussing bringing them back. Like that is going to stimulate sales…

    Republicans weaponizing ignorance is a dangerous game
  • The Republicans are creating a whole group of voters who are the opposite of WOKE: Deliberately Uninformed with Misguided Beliefs (DUMB). And it’s contagious, as being DUMB spreads like wildfire under right wing voters.

    Unless you've got a better plan in the next 6 months, grab a fucking bucket
  • Please don't! Look up what happened in 2000, setting the stage for unprecedented misery under the Bush and Cheney years. All because some people thought Gore wasn't their ideal candidate.

    Linux on the desktop breaks 4% for the first time on Statcounter
  • Will probably get flamed to death for this, but... a few months ago I've decided to try Ubuntu on an older Intel MacBook Pro, just to try it out after many attempts in the past. (Mac user here)

    Then I tried to use the trackpad. After 30 minutes of fiddling I gave up. Say what you want about Apple's UX choices, esthetics and business practices. But boy do they know how to produce a computer and UX combo that fits like a glove.

    In comparison, the Ubuntu experience was like eating nails.

    And before y'all go off; I would like to switch. I'm getting tired of Apple's business practices.

    credit where credit is due
  • The entire club of billionaires are flying everywhere in their planes. Yet I only see memes about Taylor Swift and her use of private planes over the past week or so.

    This could possibly not have anything to do with the fact that the 'conservative' movement being scared shitless about her activity to make sure people go out to vote?

    Trump Predicts Mass Exodus From NY Over His Court Loss
  • Fox verbatim copied this in their headline. In the article they published on their website nothing about the actual fraud that was proven.

    Why Taiwan is 2024’s first big election to watch
  • As the article notes; the world at large greatly underestimates the consequences of a move from Xi. I would say the prospect of the Taiwanese blowing up their factories instead of bowing to the will of Bejing is not really that far fetched. But perhaps I'm wrong, and would Taiwan also have many people with the same soft spine that many in the west are showing when it comes down to weaning off our reliance on fossil fuels.

    How to find a cheap ex company PC based on which Intel generation?
  • I would just go with a 2012 Mac mini, they can be upgraded to 16 gb of RAM and have 2 slots for SATA SSDs. On my work we've just used one to install a complete K8s cluster on it for demo purposes. People are amazed of the power from such as small form factor, quiet too!

    Tesla Cybertruck gets less than 80% of advertised range in YouTuber’s test
  • Also, the Murdochs are known to fan out the EV bullshit that is being sold these days via their channels.

    It's only a matter of time before driving an EV is considered woke.

    The Toyota war proved peak engineering rule
  • Posing the question is answering it; because the quality is so-so. These things require regular maintenance and after 25 years, there's a change that the 5th owner didn't care that much.

    BMW Is Giving Up on Heated Seat Subscriptions Because People Hated Them
  • True, but that you can also largely influence by defensive driving. When I rode 80 tkm a year for 15 years I’ve literally seen everything but was never part of it.

    BMW Is Giving Up on Heated Seat Subscriptions Because People Hated Them
  • Peak car was 1990-1994, largely mechanical, little electronics and reliable as hell. My Merc from that time is built like a tank and everything is screwed together, not glued.

    BMW Is Giving Up on Heated Seat Subscriptions Because People Hated Them
  • BMW really doesn't understand this business model. They tried to pull this shit with CarPlay in 2018 as well. Which one could buy as an €300 option, which was rediculous by itself, but was later moved to a fucking subscription.

    It also caused a huge uproar, largely forgotten by Covid now, but they also had to backtrack that. And now they've tried it again, also to backtrack again.

    Fix your cars to be a better value prop than that fuckface's or the Chinese cars. Then you'll make tons of money. Not by nickel and diming your customers.
