Just a sometimes grey muzzle poking at this net thing

  • Not real surprising, as I understand, all their electric vehicles are basically variants on the same vehicle, whether you're talking a BrightDrop van, Silverado electric, Equinox EV or the upcoming Bolt, economies of scale and all that.

  • With the catalog of products they have to base it on, I have no doubts they can do it, but I do have doubts to reliability and Jeepness, it'll prolly just be another cheap electric crossover that could be mistaken for any other out there

  • Whoops, fixed that

  • Could I get a practical truck? I'm a courier, I need seating for one, good cargo capacity and good range. I'd buy a Maverick if'n they offered it in a extended cab, I mean with how many plants make that chassis, I can't see why they can't offer an extended cab targeted at the business market.

  • Especially as it's easy to do on the desktop

  • Try a reboot afterwards?

  • See other comments, you accept through the notification. I've been around Android since before that was something you could do, so I tend to forget about it. Now if only I could get NTFY to stop notifying me that it's running...

  • Nothing really, having it installed is really a habit from my desktop where there isn't an app.

  • Slaps his forehead, "Doh, forgot you can do such a thing, thanks."

  • Don't really know, hit something about it elsewhere, but it didn't say anything more than that, but yeah, that seems to be the gist of things.

  • I think the reason is because apparently a lot of people are unhappy with a deal Nix inked apparently with a company that does business with the US' Immigrations and Customs

  • It was around $60 for a full set of ink (colour and black and white) when we grabbed some a month or so ago, so about average I think. When you think about printers, what brands do people talk about? HP, Brother and Epson, right? Canon I think isn't really trying hard here, printers are just an offshoot of their camera business, do they make much else that isn't cameras or camera related?

  • I've got a Canon TS642A that's serving us well here. My Brother was giving me problems, mostly in wireless connectivity so we replaced it with this, which was I think the second cheapest Canon we could find, and we've only replaced the cartridges I think once in the last year, though we don't use it all that much. On Linux, I don't think it even needs drivers, its... Postscript I think? Setting up the wireless was a bit tricky, but once up and running, it's been rock solid.

  • True, but even if such tests double the price, it's still cheaper than anything else offered, what's the lowest right now, $29K?

  • It particularly sucks for desktop use on phones that support it, no right click, no keyboard short cuts, and it clips a bit off the bottom of pages, and they've apparently said they have no plans to support desktop on Android.

  • No need for an Apple keyboard unless you're looking for extra function keys, a regular keyboard will work fine, and if'n for some reason you need the Mac layout, it's available, I've always used the English (Macintosh) layout so I can get easy access to keys I like to use or sometimes need.

  • True, I'm not sure what the solution is, but saying the rules only apply to certain players rubs me the wrong way. And that's not even getting started on how much of the threat comes from US automakers refusal to produce electric cars until they were staring down a gun, plus how much they want to sell large expensive vehicles so they get nice large paychecks. Sure, China could and prolly is subsidizing their electric car industry, but we could do that too, in a way we already are with the tax credit only applying to American made vehicles.

  • True, but banning them seems like using a nuke to deal with a fly, just a bit overkill. I don't expect the Chinese to play fair, but it seems that just saying that the rules only apply to American companies seems wrong and lazy.

  • Chuckles, "Yep, only American manufacturers should be allowed to cheaply build cars in Mexico and export them to the US."
