   VW ID.4, road tripping around the northeast (NJ/NY) and midwest (to/fro Michigan). In your case, the Leaf is the single EV that should never be or have been sold or rented out since around 2020. It's ancient and is the last

   For a while, if you wanted a long range EV you could actually cross the country with, Tesla was it. That's just not true anymore -- I'm coming up on year three with my non-Tesla, and it's been perfect, road trips and all. Tes

   See, that's what I'm avoiding with IPP Everywhere[1]: no configuration required. It just magically shows up instantly as a printer on Linux. It's the best printing experience I've ever had. [1]: https://www.pw

   I got a Lexmark for their driverless IPP Everywhere support and it's the best zero-fuss printer I've ever owned. Xerox doesn't have any IPP Everywhere devices, so I hope this isn't Lexmark's death knell.

   For better or for worse, the charging networks have generally agreed that the aging Leaf population isn't worth supporting. (Which makes it absolute lunacy that Nissan is still selling the Leaf )

   Around here EA's upgrading to CCS-only stations. The older non-upgraded stations only have a single CHAdeMO plug that is usually out of order because it's on very old hardware.

   In practice there are only three: NACS (currently only at Tesla stations); CCS (everywhere that isn't Tesla), and J1772 (destination charging). NACS is the industry consensus on the one true North American plug to rule them all going f

   1.7% is terrifying police state territory. I don't see El Salvadore coming back from this without a complete governmental overhaul.

    Whether it's healthy or not, programmers tend to love snark, and that snark has kept this list circulating and hopefully educating for a long time to this very day

    I don't think you're making a case for it being clickbait; it sounds more like you're affirming the factuality of the headline?

    I remember Steve Yeggie selling me on it as a better Unix than Unix, then getting bogged down in cryptic inexplicable failure modes Really cool technology really early, but I can't say I'm nostalgic!

    There are economic environments where this is true, but I think they tend to be the exception, not the rule. Car loan rates right now are quite steep.

    "Free speech" is kind of a weird thing to ascribe to Musk, given that it's a perfect almost archetypical example of where he says one thing and actually does the exact opposite.

    Unfortunately, as much as I do like Kagi overall, it goes out of its way to inject AI slop into the results with its sketchy summarization feature

    Oh big time. I can't do wooden anything culinary unless it has a really thick coating that mostly bring us back to square one. Wet wood is just SO viscerally unpleasant to me!

    Agreed, but just a nit: cars that charge at 150kW peak tend to 10-80 in about 30 minutes, not an hour. Source: my ID.4

    Hyundai and Kia use an 800V high voltage electrical system. The upshot is their vehicles charge scary fast, peaking in the mid 200kW's

    The rapid transit system in Minneapolis, MN is called the Metro. Technically that includes the bus rapid transit system, but I'm just talking about the light rail since I do prefer it over the buses. All I can say is I've never se

    I haven't seen these problems on the Minneapolis Metro even riding at night, but if it is actually a problem, it seems like the solution is build out actual infrastructure to support the homeless community. Which Minneapolis very much

    While you can opt out, not every document check station has signage to that effect in my experience; the TSA individual only tells you to put your head in the camera frame; and most people have had An Experience with TSA officials becoming

    So I actually bought a Palm Classic device to test the hypothesis that my memories are nostelgia. They're not! It's actually a great UX!

    If there's any good to come out of this sadness, selfishly, I think it'll be more people I used to follow who had been solely on Cohost coming to either Bluesky or (less likely, I think) back to Mastodon.

    I never got into Cohost despite making an account -- it just wasn't what I wanted as a social network. But this really is a bummer -- they had admirable goals, and I know lots of people who ended up there and who enjoyed it a lot.
