- Comment on US to impose tariffs on Chinese EVs next week 1 day ago:
Yeah, after-sales support would be my main concern as well. How support, maintenance, repairs, and warranty claims work.
- Comment on US to impose tariffs on Chinese EVs next week 1 day ago:
I was too, until I found out they completely removed the driver instrument cluster, so even the speedometer is on the infotainment screen. I’m all for large screens, but the speedo and other necessary gauges should still be in front of the driver or on a HUD.
- Comment on what lemmy web app do you use and why? 1 day ago:
Alexandrite is the best web front-end for me because of the 2-column view.

add extra cheese and toppings
This is what I do. Buy a large frozen supreme pizza at the grocery store, then add extra mozarella and other toppings at home before baking.

I don’t think decline, rather normalizing.
- Comment on Republicans / conservatives are winning the immigration and values game. Am I misguided? (read post) 6 days ago:
I’m responding to point #3 specifically because I have anecdotal experience. I immigrated via a work visa (white collar work), and at least from my circle, most if not all of us do not have republican/conservative views. All of us from 3rd world countries moved because we were tired of the low pay, low quality of life, and government corruption in our home countries. And since we are part of an educated class of workers who actually have experience living in poorly governed countries, most if not all realize that conservatives are the ones slowly turning the country into what we were escaping from in the first place.
- Comment on If you take care of your parents or other elderly, how are you preparing to age gracefully? 1 week ago:
Try my best to save and prepare enough funds to live without having to depend on family to take care of me. Then try my best to take care of my health as I get older so I don’t get seriously sick.

He just needs a good writer by his side to keep him in check and reign him in.
- Comment on What are these "bass" and "treble" that I see in an equalizer ? 1 week ago:
The equalizer simply adjusts the levels of the frequency spectrum of the sound you’re listening to. Bass pertains to lower frequencies and treble refers to the higher frequencies. The middle frequencies are appropriately called “mids”. So lowering the treble OR increasing the bass gets you more oomph and fullness, while the opposite makes it brighter and more shrill.

I certainly am not. Is there a term for someone who has impostor syndrome but deep inside is actually not good enough? lmao
- Comment on Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app 1 week ago:
Nice! I currently have a couple of services on MS Authenticator that I can migrate over.
- Comment on Is anyone using PixelFed? How is your experience so far? 1 week ago:
“Fed” pertains to federation so it kinda works. Compare that to Lemmy or Mastodon that have no relation at all to the fediverse (AFAIK).
- Comment on is Texas really that cold and cruel as depicted in movies of the Coen brothers, the novels of Cormac Mccarthy and the movie Hell or High Water? 1 week ago:
Texas is huge, and just like any other place, your experience will vary depending on where you are. Most movies use the rural backdrop as their setting. But there are huge and dense cities as well, where most people live.
- Comment on Lemmy instances die twice 1 week ago:
I don’t understand how they didn’t use .btw instead of .fyi for that instance.
- Comment on It's time to let go 2 weeks ago:
Why you gotta call me out like that.
- Comment on How should I link to music so that anyone can open it? 2 weeks ago:
I think OP is asking for a vendor neutral application that allows the user to listen to the song on the platform of their choice, like Songlink as some suggested.
- Comment on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say 2 weeks ago:
Heavy users will definitely complain for the first couple of weeks, then they’ll just move on to the next platform.

Didn’t he offer a horse or something?

What were they called before beds were invented?
- Comment on If you’ve got an EV, Google Maps is about to become much more valuable | New updates address one of Americans’ top concerns about owning an electric car: finding a place to charge 3 weeks ago:
I wish it also showed the speed limit of the road you’re on even if you’re not actively navigating.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
It’s a never ending game of cat and mouse. I’m sure uBO will fix it shortly.
- Comment on The Department of Justice is preparing to file an antitrust lawsuit against Ticketmaster parent company Live Nation 3 weeks ago:
Right? Not surprising that it took a billionaire artist for them to notice and take action.
- Comment on Report: TikTok’s efforts to silo US data are ‘largely cosmetic’ 3 weeks ago:
To no one’s surprise. Sure, the data is not stored in servers outside the US, but that doesn’t mean employees are not sharing them with the mothership, which the article is claiming.

Thanks! I’ll try this.
- Comment on Ghibli Studio Food always looks so satisfying ♥ 3 weeks ago:
I started watching it last month but paused a couple of episodes in because I was too busy. I’m definitely going to continue watching in the next few weeks!

Oh look, they’re owned by RealPage. Not surprising.

“Come to Brazil!”
- Comment on Researchers unlock fiber optic connection 1.2 million times faster than broadband 3 weeks ago:
I’m on pace for 0.60 TB this month and I’m no heavy user. I only have 1 4k TV and a laptop for work that I use all day. My wife is mostly on her phone but is a heavy TV user in the evening. I can imagine people who download and/or torrent most of the content they consume can easily hit that.
- Comment on Turn up the heat 3 weeks ago:
For sure, I agree it all comes down to what you’re used to. To answer your point about the freezing point of water, it is pretty important especially if you’re monitoring for ice on the road or preparing your house (pipes, etc.) for it. That’s basically my reference to decide I’m not leaving today and prepping my house instead.
- Comment on Turn up the heat 3 weeks ago:
0C for freezing is better than 32F though. Then you can count by 5s and 10s in celcius for weather till you hit 30. Above that is hot. Having a range of 30 points on the thermometer is easier to gauge than something that goes across almost double the number of points.
