The new subscribers mostly came from emerging markets where Netflix is cheaper.

Unlikely to ship to North America.

Only 6%?

Good article. The domestic batteries start in 2027, and GM’s “affordable” EV is screwed until then because of Trump’s tariffs. Will be interesting to see if the LFP will be cheap enough to balance out the tariff, or if they will have to raise the expected MSRP.

VW has said they are returning to physical buttons. It will be interesting to see if other manufacturers do as well. I’m waiting to see what the next GM Bolt looks like, since the previous version had buttons.

They stopped venturing a long time ago. Microsoft should’ve been split up. Then maybe some of their consumer products would’ve survived and thrived. Even Windows OS seems like an afterthought these days.

• cloud services exceeded $75 billion
• Office productivity software and LinkedIn, delivered $33.11 billion in revenue
• Personal Computing unit, which encompasses Windows, search advertising, devices and video games, totaled $13.45 billion

Writing is on the wall. Xbox and Windows made money, but a fraction of what Office and enterprise services made.

Vomit.

I’ve always heard to it referred to as the “military industrial complex”. Eisenhower tried to warn us about it in the 1950s.

Bizarre ruling. There are plenty of other ways to get apps on an Android phone. Amazon even had an App Store for a while.

The All feed is useless because it’s the same meme or news story posted 100 times each day because everyone thinks they have to start their own sub for memes or news stories.

You might wanna stop drinking out of plastic if you can avoid it. If you’re gonna buy a water bottle, you can buy one made out of stainless steel and it’ll survive the dishwasher. Of course you’ll have to make sure you buy a reputable brand, otherwise It’ll be full of lead.

Lemmy needs a hierarchy similar to Usenet, or a way to tag each c/ with keywords to make it easier for the user or client software to block huge swaths of topics the user is not interested in.

Examples: Memes. Sports. News. Politics. Entertainment. Music.

It would improve signal to noise ratio in the All feed, allowing users to find new content they are interested in, rather than simply 100 dupes of things they are not.

It’ll be interesting to see if it’s a true successor to the Chevy Bolt. I have a feeling it’s going to be expensive and big instead. It had better at least support quicker fast charging.

The original bolt was a success because it was cheap, small, and had a decent range for an EV in its class. It reused parts from other GM models (like the shifter knob) to cut down on expenses.

Also the newer GM models don’t have CarPlay/Android Auto. So that’s an immediate no sale for me unless this thing is an econobox (which it won’t be).

EVs actually shed less tire and brake dust.

They’re talking about Ghislaine Maxwell in the headline. Not some government official with the same last name. (It’s getting difficult to keep up with all of this ridiculous corruption.)

The leaf exterior was not too bad. It was the innards that weren’t any good (Chademo, passive battery cooling). Rather than redesign it on the inside, Nissan has decided to make it into “yet another SUV”™️.

Yet another SUV.

I look forward to the future hypothesis that explains why so many people right now are selfish and lacking any empathy. Microplastics? PFAS? Roundup? What will it turn out to be, I wonder.
