Yeah, I'll admit they've basically left it alone, but I'd chalk up the changes as minor UI/UX regressions that have ballooned the app size by an order of magnitude since it was acquired. And the native Windows app was a

macOS at least will autocorrect stuff by default... I typically turn it off within a few days of a fresh install after getting annoyed by some correction I didn't want.

Right, I'm aware of the energy the calculations give, but I don't see a good reason to assume that smaller cars have more efficiently designed crumple zones. I'd expect crumple zones on larger cars to scale in energy dissipat

Sure, if you go back far enough, but this was in response to the older Ford Ranger being no longer available - the Maverick is fairly comparable in size to a 90's Ranger.

Yeah, that's true, regular cab not available in anything other than a full size in North America now. Though the Tacoma does come in extended cab. And the Maverick has a clever bed that fits 4x8 sheets with the tailgate halfway.

> As far as I was aware the others didn't sell in any close to the same numbers. Per wiki, Crown Vic sales peaked at 114k in 1999. In the same year, the Taurus sold 368k and the Escort sold 260k. (The Tempo was discontinued by then,

I dunno, my dad was a farmer when I was a kid, and he did fine with a series of compact pickups. (Some 80's Toyota thing, then a Nissan hardbody, then a Chevy S10.)

The equivalent SUVs still exist, e.g. Toyota Tundra -> Sequoia, Ford F-150 -> Expedition, Nissan Titan -> Armada, etc.

I expect energy dissipation scales in a similar way... e.g. I'd expect a head-on crash of two light cars to be roughly comparable in severity to occupants to a head-on crash of two heavy cars. Is my intuition off here?

Depends what you mean by viable. Solar is easily economically viable, but integration at grid scale is tricky when your peak summer generation is 10x your winter generation.

Yeah, I can't edit my first post, but should note that if you don't want to rewrite history of the submodule, it also at least lets you consistently do shallow clones of the submodule - various git-related CI/CD operations on

Does it? I use Hide My Email largely without integration to the Apple ecosystem - I generate new emails on icloud.com and copy/paste them to login forms before saving to 1Password.

What does it matter for users if it's at 2% if it works better than the alternatives? Lots of products and services have small market share and are better than the market leaders.

Well personally, I use my TV with a PC much of the time and you can't do anything close to 4K/120Hz/VRR on an old TV, you're basically stuck at a static 60Hz 1080p SDR.

FYI if you live in/near an urban area, you can probably get a ton of world cup matches with an antenna without directly giving Fox money.

YouTube is probably the single biggest upside that an HTPC has over an Apple TV. (And any other streaming device.) For anything from youtube I actually care about watching on a TV, I'll download with yt-dlp and put on my Plex server -

There are TVs with Apple TV the streaming service, not Apple TV the OS. (Or Apple TV the app.) https://dcurt.is/apple-tv-all-the-way-down (Since that piece, they've renamed Apple TV+ to also be "Apple TV".)
