i wish 240V was more common. i can't charge my EV at a reasonable rate and it would cost me $15k+ to install a 240V in my detached garage (requires trenching).

this was my gripe with Sonic which people love over here in the Bay Area. their trucks and billboards advertise $40/month for gigabit speed (this was a while back when i had them). they then charge you $10/mo for a phone line whic

sigh. Android Sync was one of the best reddit apps i have used. it had tons of customization, never crashed, snappy, had multi-window support etc. Apollo on iOS was a distant second.

Volkswagen owns Electrify America the only competitor at scale to Tesla's supercharging network. they uses CCS and VW is one of the largest car manufacturers in the world. i think they can stand on their own. time will tell though.

The reason why they provide the payment infrastructure is because they can control everything end to end. Imagine if they allow payments outside the app and expect developers to pay 30% for those transactions. Yeah, that's not going to

sounds like reddit want to kill all third party apps which is a bit unfortunate but this business practice is not very uncommon (Apple/Google with their 30% fees).

I mean that's a common knowledge, no? if the cost of raw materials goes up, manufacturers hike up the prices of the final goods and consumers pay for it.

can someone help me understand what's the core of the issue is? is it because they are now charging for APIs which used to be free? i hope that's the not the issue because that's not a sustainable business. third party apps c

by perfectstorm 3y ago
why can't reddit just give a 1yr grace period so 3p apps can update their pricing model to account for the new API prices? i know this is what I would do to avoid pissing off a massive use base if i were a decision maker at reddit.

i loved the HERE Maps when i had a Windows Phone. we navigated two countries in Europe without ever needing to turn on data roaming. this was back in 2013 i think? it was mind-blowingly good to navigate from one end of the country to the ot

that's not true. it can navigate without internet as long as you have downloaded the maps ahead of time. i have definitely used it in a few parks including Death valley NP and it worked fine. maybe your download got corrupted somehow o

why is 6% drop in stock price such a big news these days? I'm sure it will be recovered in a few days. are they going to publish another article when it regains the lost value?

i wouldn't even call it a luxury car. it's a wannabe luxury car made out of poor materials and terrible assembly.
