I can absolutely assure you that ‘aesthetics’ don’t play any role in any of my commuter options :) I also stand by this: The Onewheel was the most versatile commuter option I’ve ever used in NYC. If failsafes were added that didn’t rely on

I have a 2017 Evelo Quest One that’s wrapping up it’s 6th year now. It’s been almost entirely hassle free besides general maintenance and a battery replacement after ~4 years. It looks like the company replaced it with the Evelo Dash. There

There are plenty of compact options for sure, but I haven’t found any as ‘hassle-free’, at least when I reach my final destination :) I also have a folding e-bike which has larger and wider wheels than a scooter, which is preferable in my o

The board would completely disengage and the nose would drop. The best I can explain the feeling is that it felt like I’d go from tapping the gas to pushing the clutch all the way down. There would be no ‘pushback’ from the board beforehand

I have emails talking with Future Motion support as early as 2017 when my Onewheel+ was nosediving randomly at medium/low speeds (ie. Idling back and forth at a red light). I could never get them to acknowledge it was a defect. I put o

I mostly agree, but do want to emphasize that it really depends and there are multiple ways to secure this that range in complexity and maintenance overhead. The top thing that comes to mind is creating a separate ‘read replica’ DB that log

It was too early for me when I posted this :) There were two ideas in mind that were conflated: 1) A list for blocking the subpaths of these packages in npm that could be imported. 2) A list for blocking the malicious URLs in the repos them

It would be great if Sandworm listed these malicious repos in a text file that could be imported into a blocklist in a service like Pihole. I’m not worried about hitting these URLs but definitely worry about the less tech savvy people in my

‘Affordable housing’ is an overloaded term at this point. There are people who qualify for ‘affordable housing’ in NYC who are making ~$180,000 and will be paying $3,000/mo or more in rent after their ‘low-income subsidy’ is factored i

To put the study in perspective, driving a single mile in your car will emit the same amount of CO2 as brewing 8 of the least efficient cups of coffee listed in the study, and using a single gallon of fuel emits 360 inefficient cups worth o

I’ve had ChatGPT tell me how to do something one way, and then give an example that omitted the specific syntax it had called out. It was only until I told it that the example didn’t reflect what it wrote that it basically said ‘oops! Here’

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic at this point, but yes, you can in fact see Russian news in the USA. There are plenty of places(ie. Reddit) where people also add English subtitles for non-Russian speakers.
