  • This is my ideal build: https://www.slate.auto/share/5VXBMW

    I could barely make it out, but the tires on this build here are 255/70R17, which are effectively 31" tires. Great size. I was just talking to my wife last night about how I’d absolutely DD an older Jeep Cherokee XJ, slightly lifted on 31s (I used to have a 1998 XJ just like that), but the fuel economy would be abysmal at best. This thing, however, optioned with the big battery, would cost me roughly $10 at most to charge from empty to full, which is really nice.

    The lack of AWD is a bummer, but not entirely a deal-breaker. I’d absolutely rock this little thing on some of the local 4WD trails.







  • New ovens will only reach 280°F. But if you subscribe to LG Baking™ Plus™ plan for only $5.99*/mo, you can unlock up to 340°F for all of your essential baking needs! But wait, if you subscribe to LG Baking™ Plus™ Premium tier for an additional $8.99**/mo, you can unlock up to 425°F and a 20 minute timer!

  • I literally explained why it matters. SoC hardware varies too much, and they aren’t standardized like PCs are. It’s not as simple as you think. It should be, but in reality it’s not.

    The “PC” got its start as “IBM-compatible”, which is what PCs that we know and love today are still based on. It’s a standardized architecture, CPUs are all x86-based, and there are a lot of common drivers (HID devices like mouse & keyboard, generic gfx drivers that can run most GPUs at a basic level, etc).

    ARM isn’t standardized like PCs are. That’s where the disconnect is. There are no “generic” drivers for things like modems, chipsets, graphics, etc. like there are on PCs. And there are literally thousands of ARM phones running all sorts of varying hardware that use proprietary driver from the manufacturer that may or may not ever be updated.
