Haha you got me, I do have a charger at home. I’m just not used to charging in the day, I normally charge overnight. But I guess I could charge more if needed.

I spend 90% of my time at home so that probably won’t help my battery much 😅

I was excited too! But they mention it kills the battery as Google doesn’t let the access the system API for it, so we’ll see whether it stays enabled.

Interesting that duel motors and AWD make hardly any difference! I’m quite happy with my single motor FWD performance, and it seems like they might be similar.

I can’t find the data now but from memory the AWD model is supposed to do 0-100kph in about 4 seconds as opposed to the 7.5 or so of the FWD models, so I assumed you’d be able to feel the difference 😆.

Did they remember to add Micro$lop to their slur filter?

Just one team working on Teams, and they are doing their best to make it worse.

I for one encourage them, it apparently needs to be even worse before my work will consider changing

You can mostly solve the solar issue by building more solar, it generates power in virtually any weather, maybe less but then you just build more to account for it. And when it’s not sunny it’s normally windy.

Also grids normally span multiple areas, you don’t build all your solar in the same spot, you spread it around so it’s sunny somewhere.

Batteries or even pumped hydro also solve the problem of power being generated at a different time than needed.

Outside of the US, solar capacity is being added at speed because it has become so cheap.

I don’t know if airbags are connected enough to coordinate with each other, but you kind of expect they should err on the side of going off if unsure rather than not going off!

Just looked up the recall, apparently 100 million airbags recalled starting from 2013. It seems to have resulted in the bankruptcy of the company!

It might be a little early to be related to your crash if it was just a few years back. Hopefully you’re doing ok now!

BYD is very popular everywhere, it just overtook Tesla as the biggest EV manufacturer.

Personally I avoided BYD due to the whole China data sovereignty thing, but from what I hear their cars are solid.

Modern airbags only go off if you crash in a direction that they can help, e.g. if you slide sideways into a pole, you’d only expect curtain airbags to go off, not the one in your steering wheel. Airbags are dangerous so you only want them to go off when they aren’t going to make things worse.

Though by the way you italicised “none”, perhaps the car is full of airbags all over and they still didn’t go off?

I also seem to remember a massive recall from a decade back because the world’s biggest airbag manufacturer found many of their airbags didn’t go off properly.

I have the mid range one but I believe the top model has AWD and so you get a lot more go from a standing start.

I also have a 2024 Ariya! Also love it, only had it less than 6 months (bought an ex-demo car for about 60% of the price of a new one).

Nissan have been making Leafs for years, built in Japan, we got the 63kWh mid-range model. It’s not a huge SUV but big enough we can easily fit three kids in the back and they have leg room. Has all the bells and whistles, like adaptive cruise control, steering assist, auto wipers, auto-lock/unlock, bluetooth, beepy things when you get too close, uses Lidar not cameras like tesla, but also have cameras so you have the overhead 360 view. All sorts of beeps and barps for various warnings but you can turn off anything you don’t like.

I’d say the most unusual part is that there’s no separation of driver and front passenger footwell, just one giant gap. After reading about it online I did what others do and bought a baskety container thing and velcroed it to the floor so now there is so much storage for all the books and jerseys and whatever, on top of the two glove boxes.

Comes with free updates to the satnav maps that you can also do yourself (I ended up using my wife’s Windows computer as I didn’t get their software working on Linux, maybe someone else has had better luck).

There are things I don’t like but overall, a solid car, no regrets. If you have more money they also sell a higher spec AWD version with a bigger battery. We get about 300km range on our 63kWh version by the time we fill it with stuff and 5 people.

Even better than a coin flip is asking this what to do then doing the opposite!

Well of course, they have all those clothes from when they had a baby and they got clothes thrown at them! It took us years for enough people we know to have babies for us to get rid of all the baby clothes!

They had me up to Windows Home Server. I don’t think I want one of those. It sounds dangerous, I wouldn’t let that in my house.

You sound like you want to go all in on federated services but there are plenty of other things to do.

I love Nextcloud, works well when set up through the Nextcloud All In One docker setup, but it is a little different to other things so it might not be a starting point depending on your experience. Lots of apps to add for extra functionality. But don’t replace your cloud storage with it until you’re confident of your backups (and ability). I ran it for years to use for the apps and minor things before I finally went all in.

I think a wiki is a great thing to have. Use it to document what you’ve done so you can remember.

Then there’s media. With the storage I guess TV/movies might be out, but there’s Audiobookshelf for Audiobooks, Kavita or Calibre Web for eBooks. I like Jellyfin for music (but using the Finamp app not the Jellyfin one), but others like dedicated music setups like Navidrone.

I buy my music from Bandcamp where available and Qobuz where it’s mainstream labels, then I can have my own little Spotify. Finamp even lets you download playlists or your whole library to your device for offline listening. I use Findroid for watching things, which also allows downloading. Last I checked the Jellyfin app didn’t have Netflix-like downloading, just downloading the files to your downloads folder.

I guess you might not fit a whole lot with 300GB storage though, especially after you fit the databases of half a dozen federated services.

If you have space, perhaps a photo service like Immich or Photoprosm.

If you have friends maybe a private sharing forum like Zusam.

If you have family then maybe family tree software like webtrees.

I run so many things, they all get used, and I’m always happy to talk about them!

So posts in communities only go to instances where there is a subscriber. If you make a new community, people on other instances won’t see it until someone on their instance searches it up and subscribes.

For new communities, two things to do are to submit on https://lemmy-federate.com/ which will automatically federate it to instances that have signed up for it (I’ve just done this for you), and to post it in new community sharing communities so people know about it and can subscribe, e.g. https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities

Haha one thing we learnt from daycare was a cold cloth. Literally just a cloth (e.g. face cloth) run under cold water. Get hurt, put a cold cloth on it. It’s itchy, do you want a cold cloth? Fall and hurt your pride? Put a cold cloth on it.

Band aids are hardly ever needed, sorry about hurting the profits.

That’s an interesting proof of concept, but I don’t think it shows it’s different. That’s a server side attack, whoever has control of the server could just have the script download a malicious binary instead and you wouldn’t be able to tell from the script.
