  • Study finds electrifying SUVs could actually increase emissions by using up scarce battery material that could otherwise be used to electrify smaller cars and e-bikes

    Jump

  • All for a car that is impractical and excessively large.

    And don't forget heavy. The Hummer weighs nearly 4,500 kg, or 10,000 pounds, but can still do 0-60 in 3 seconds. F=ma

  • Yep

    Jump

  • Perhaps even worse than this is when the hash allows you to enter what you think is your full password, but as long as the first characters are a match then it will succeed.16 characters is probably fine as far as passwords go, but if the site is secretly truncating from 16 down to, say, 7 and still allows you to sign in, you don't even realize that your password isn't nearly as secure as you thought it was.

  • Urban Arrow’s FamilyNext Cargo Bike - CleanTechnica

    Jump

  • It is wild to me that the sticker price on this bike is $12,499 CAD when you can get a normal bicycle for under $1000, a normal non-cargo e-bike for $1-5000, or a used EV for like $20000.

    Are cars being subsidized that much that you can justify making a bicycle that costs over $10k and market it as a replacement? I bought my current car for $16k, and if you put them side by side and told me the difference in price was three thousand dollars I wouldn't believe you.

  • Ford recalls nearly a million newer vehicles in Canada, U.S. over fuel pump concerns

    Jump

  • Fix it again, tony. Hehe

  • Yep

    Jump

  • Or alternatively, it allows you to enter a password as long as you like, but on their end it gets truncated.

  • This EV Moped Can Hit 65 Miles Per Hour, But Still Gets Pedals

    Jump

  • Not only is it a motorcycle but it looks like the cybertruck of motorcycles.

  • Brampton petition calls for ‘immediate removal’ of all speed enforcement cameras

    Jump

  • People will drive whatever speed they feel comfortable and if you actually want them to drive slower then build the roads accordingly for said speed

    You got that exactly right, but instead of advocating for that you've chosen instead to complain that the speed limits should be made higher.

  • PSA: If the first Smart Search in Immich takes a while

    Jump

  • Seems to work really well. I can do obscure searches like Outer Wilds and it will pull up pictures I took from my phone of random gameplay moments, so it's not doing any filename or metadata cheating there.

  • As a councillor I’ve always advocated for improved road safety – then I got hit by a car

    Jump

  • Nothing more nerve racking than biking up to an intersection and the driver's eyeballs are perfectly hidden behind the windshield pillar. I'm not moving until I know you see me.

  • PSA: If the first Smart Search in Immich takes a while

    Jump

  • Which model would you recommend? I just switched from ViT-B/32 to ViT-SO400M-16-SigLIP2-384__webli since it seemed to be the most popular.

  • a simple test

    Jump

  • Yeah I refuse to believe this is an ADHD thing

  • There Was a Time Canada Really Did Build, Baby, Build

    Jump

  • We need better infill policies.

    My fear is that we're going to have huge amounts of federal funding coming in to municipalities to build massive swaths of suburban sprawl in the name of additional housing, putting more fuel on the fire that is car dependence.

    Even new developments that have "mixed-use" multifamily are depressing to be in when they're completely isolated from the rest of the city and you can only go in or out with a car.

  • It's almost 2pm, I'm still in bed

    Jump

  • Older showers don't have a pressure balancing valve which adjusts either the hot or cold flow to equalize a loss in pressure on the opposite side.

    Without this, flushing a toilet robs the shower of cold water and so the user is scalded, or running a washing machine or dishwasher does the same with the hot supply.

  • What are your highest seeding ratios?

    Jump

  • I'm coming up on 10000 for linux mint that I started nearly 300 days ago. 2.7GiB download, 24.8TiB upload.

    My next highest is GIMP 3.0 at a little over 400.

  • Nobody

    Jump

  • It's a time honoured thing from back in the day when you took your camera with you on holiday, your roll of film had 36 exposures that you had to ration and think carefully about where and when to use them.

    So when you got back and had your photos developed and printed, you had 36 photos to share with people.

    Now you can take thousands of pictures per day with your phone and there's no life to any of them as you force people to swipe through them.

  • I use Arch btw

    Jump

  • The rationale in the OP is that with archinstall, an inexperienced user will have no idea where to even begin diagnosing any issues post install. Whereas installing manually is sort of a barrier to entry that ensures you know what you're doing.

  • Subnautica's Original Creators Have Been Removed From Unknown Worlds "Effective Immediately", As Krafton Makes Concerning Leadership Changes

    Jump

  • When Below Zero came out it was clear that they had no idea what made Subnautica special, something that a sequel had no hope of replicating. Fear of the unknown and the drive to explore deeper. Once you've completed Subnautica you are a god of the sea, and that knowledge and experience cannot be lost.

    Mobius Digital was able to make a successful DLC for Outer Wilds because they understood what made their game work, which is the player's own curiosity.

  • A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud

  • Managed service provider. Basically corporate IT.

  • What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes?

  • This song is new to me, but I am honored to be a part of it.
