- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 2 weeks ago:
Nio has seemingly been successful with battery swap stations in their cars, so luckily the concept hasn’t been completely abandoned.

I’m trying to sneak around, but I’m dummy thicc and the clap of my asscheeks keeps alerting the earthlings.

Fuck, man… I’m rarely affected by celebrity deaths, but Dragon Ball has always been a comfort series for me, this hurts. I hope his family is doing okay.
- Comment on Tesla's Cybertruck may not be so stainless after all 2 months ago:
One of the replies in that thread:
I’m know I’m a weirdo but I actually kinda like the corrosion and hopefully the associated patina that will come with it.
Wow.
- Comment on Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off 3 months ago:
Ever since they started the Epic/Uplay exclusivity stuff, it’s made it easier than ever to avoid buying their games.
- Comment on Tesla Cybertruck gets less than 80% of advertised range in YouTuber’s test 4 months ago:
Traveling at high speeds just takes a lot of power regardless of fuel, but ICE cars are so inefficient in city driving it makes highways look good in comparison. 25-50mph might be more efficient, but every time you brake that kinetic energy is turned into waste heat, totally negating the benefit of driving slower.
EVs on the other hand have regenerative braking systems. Rather than using friction to slow the car down, they just use the motors by applying resistance to the wheels. The kinetic energy is used to charge the battery while slowing the car down. You get the benefit of slower speeds without much braking loss, so this is where EVs shine.
- Comment on Tesla Cybertruck gets less than 80% of advertised range in YouTuber’s test 4 months ago:
I hate Tesla and especially the Cybertruck as much as the next guy, but this was a highway test and that sounds like a completely normal result.
I own a Bolt EV which is rated for 259 miles of range. On the highway, that’s more like ~220. That sounds bad, but the other side of it is that I get ~300 miles of range during my normal work commutes through the city. This is just how EVs are, the estimated range is based on a mixed test. EVs are backwards compared to ICE, you’ll get ~20% less range than the EPA estimate driving highway speeds and ~20% more doing purely city driving.
- Comment on Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times 4 months ago:
I’m absolutely at that point with Nextcloud. I kind of didn’t want to go the syncthing route, but I’ll probably give it a shot anyway since none of the NC alternatives seem any better.
- Comment on Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times 4 months ago:
This is probably what I’m doing wrong. I’m using linuxserver’s docker which should be okay to auto update, but it just continuously degrades over time with updates until it becomes non-functional. Random login failures, logs failing to load, file thumbnails disappearing, the goddamn Collabora office docker that absolutely refuses to work for more than one week, etc.
I just nuke the NC docker and database and start from scratch every year or so.

- Comment on Amazon plans to make its own hydrogen to power vehicles 4 months ago:
I’m skeptical of hydrogen for consumer vehicles, but it makes total sense for something like this where refueling stations can be built on-site. If they can solve the refueling problem, there’s no reason to have 200+ expensive batteries for a fleet of electric forklifts.
- Comment on Mint Mobile discloses new data breach exposing customer data 4 months ago:
There’s chance they did, but I didn’t get any kind of announcement email about it. I also used an email alias for my old Mint account, so if I suddenly start getting spam emails to that address, I’ll have my answer, lol
- Comment on Mint Mobile discloses new data breach exposing customer data 4 months ago:
Hmm, I think I might be mistaken on that then. I remember them announcing that they were nixing the $15 plan (which a couple of my family members were on), but it’s still there. Maybe they reverted it, or it was just Reddit spreading nonsense information. I’ll edit my comment.
- Comment on Mint Mobile discloses new data breach exposing customer data 4 months ago:
Also probably password hashes.
The company did not make it clear from this statement if hashed passwords were accessed by the attacker.
I don’t expect good news if they chose not to share that detail.
- Comment on Mint Mobile discloses new data breach exposing customer data 4 months ago:
I jumped ship to another carrier right after they were bought out by T-Mobile and I’ve dodged price hikes and now data breaches. T-Mobile just ruins everything they touch.
- Comment on What games did you complete this year? 4 months ago:
Nice! I’m still thinking about picking up Elden Ring. I’m not big on souls likes, but everyone seems to love this one.

- Comment on Ifixit gives fairphone 5 a 10/10 on repairability and maintanence 5 months ago:
Yeah, I’ve put Ubuntu Touch on a Pixel 3a and had a pretty similar experience unfortunately. I see potential, but it’s just not usable yet (for me at least).
- Comment on Relative size comparison of social media platforms (December 2023) 5 months ago:
I think I got Snapchat and Vine mixed up or combined in my head. I’ve never used either one, I thought it shut down years ago, but what I’m remembering is Vine shutting down.
- Comment on Relative size comparison of social media platforms (December 2023) 5 months ago:
I’m surprised that the fediverse is as popular as it is, I would’ve guessed <500k. That’s awesome. I’m also shocked that Threads is apparently that popular, I completely forgot it existed immediately after it launched. I also didn’t know that Snapchat still existed, so maybe I’m just out of touch on social media stuff.
- Comment on It's a shame 5 months ago:
This isn’t even a recent problem, Mappa has doing this shit for ages. Taking on way too many projects at once putting way too much pressure on staff for not enough pay. The anime industry is brutal on their staff, and Mappa is probably the worst.
- Comment on How reliable are EV chargers? 6 months ago:
Things are slowly improving, but public chargers do kinda suck right now. There’s an app called PlugShare that you can download which lets you see reviews for all chargers in your area. It’s saved some headaches a few times cause I can just avoid chargers with bad ratings.
- Comment on How much does it matter where my domain registrar is located? 6 months ago:
Google has trained me to think “I wonder if that still exists” every time I remember one of their products.
The Google graveyard is vast.
- Comment on Honda says making cheap electric vehicles is too hard, ends deal with GM 6 months ago:
I somehow lucked into finding a 2023 Bolt EV at MSRP last year, and got a really good trade-in offer on top of that. It’s been such a great car.
- Comment on Best Buy to end DVD & Blu-ray disc sales 6 months ago:
CDs are still being produced despite most retailers dropping them or massively reducing stock. I’m hoping the same applies for blu-ray.
I want to own the media I pay for. If physical discs go away and there isn’t a DRM-free way to purchase it digitally (not a chance in hell of that happening), I will just pirate what I want to watch.
I buy music because DRM-free digital downloads are the norm.
I buy games because Steam is actually good and DRM-free options are available from Itch and GOG for those with no tolerance for DRM.
The TV and movie industry on the other hand feels like it’s actively trying to get rid of the only remaining way to own the media.
- Comment on What would it take to change an Internal Combustion Engine Car to an EV? 7 months ago:
I don’t disagree with that. I have a Bolt EV, which isn’t fast (0-60 in 6.7s) but it has that instant acceleration at any speed that has quickly gotten me further away from sketchy drivers or situations more than a few times.
There’s probably something of a bell curve of safety going from super slow to super fast, lol
- Comment on What would it take to change an Internal Combustion Engine Car to an EV? 7 months ago:
It probably doesn’t need that much power, but speed is fun and the extra torque can be useful.
The new Rimac Nevera (an EV hypercar) has over 1800 HP.
- Comment on Looking for a Spotify replacement 8 months ago:
Navidrome’s smart playlists can do some of this. You’re basically building filters for songs to be added to a playlist automatically though, it’s not as “smart” as Spotify.
