These have 500 mile range - baffles me that none of the EVs being made by the west can provide better range than they are now. Seems like 250 is the standard cap for “normal” models. Some way less and some slightly more.

I work on the hospital side and the cost and human effort investment for these systems is ridiculous. No wonder were behind the rest of the developed world in healthcare.

That would mean you would be indefinitely supporting and sending traffic to X. Why not tell your million followers “I will only be posting on Bluesky now - please check out my profile there [link]” and dump X? If you’re worried about your numbers dropping moving to the other platform, then your “followers” probably don’t mean much or weren’t that interested in what you have to say anyway (so what’s the point other than a score)? Maybe I’m just doing the old man shaking his fist at the sky routine.

Why not just use Strongbox? All of that’s built in and don’t have to store your vault on their cloud.
- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 6 months ago:
You’re only stuck with the old battery until the next time you swap it out though? Could also remove the need to have charging stations all over the place - just use the gas station model which has been working well for a long time - no need to charge at home or in some random mall parking lot. Just pull into a swap station, get a newly charged battery (for which there should be some safety and quality standards put in place), and leave 5 minutes later.
- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 6 months ago:
Exactly.
- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 6 months ago:
Wow - didn’t hear that but sounds like something he would do.
- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 6 months ago:
I disagree. I know cross country road trips isn’t the norm for most, but at the moment, it burns an hour (at least on my car) to recharge if you need to during the middle of a trip that out-distances your car’s range. A quick battery swap would solve that and give you the same ease/downtime as filling up at a gas station. I’d think some people have a hard time swallowing having to wait an hour to fill up if they’re trying to get somewhere.
- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 6 months ago:
What really baffles me is why he totally ghosted his battery swap station idea. That completely solves the range and charging time issue all in one fell swoop. Demonstrated it on stage even. Guessing it either wasn’t profitable enough for him, not s3xy enough, or he wasn’t smart enough to figure out how to scale it up.

- Comment on FOSS scanner app surpasses Microsoft for usability 7 months ago:
Although it’s rare now, it’s nice to come across apps that do something very well that haven’t followed the standard big tech path of mega enshittification. Sounds like this one was decent a while back (but maybe lacked features), and then - holy shit - actually improved over time.
Good post - my heart is warmed.
