“Shits are frequently classified into three basic types…” and then gives 5 paragraphs of bland guff
Important to know that real-world testing shows that PHEVs are rarely plugged in and just burn oil much of the time
Except people don’t plug in their hybrids and run them on fossil fuels. Hybrids are yet another way the FF industry keeps itself going while pretending things are being fixed
People need to hire vehicles occasionally rather than buy more polluting vehicles against some rare edge case
If anyone finds themselves in this position, you should ignore everything else and just look at the ERTO size, which should be on the tyre itself. This is a standard way of measuring tyres and wheels, and is much better than the old ways
Hark at Simeon Stylites here
Windows 11 has better window shadows than Windows 10. That is literally the only improvement I’ve found
It’s incredibly selective about which topics it’s good for. Want insight into advanced mathematics or new programming languages and people there have amazing insight. But they bring the same level of confidence to the discussion when talking about topics they’ve no idea about.
Have a look at marginalia.nu - it’s like a return to the old days
The other annoying thing they (esp. MS) do is pop up messages like “The whole process of saving files has changed while you were asleep [learn more][got it]” and here, when you need it, there’s never an option for “remind me later”. So you either have to stop what you’re doing and go and read a massive blog entry that’s not actually relevant to the task in hand or you need to dismiss the message and never be able to find it when it’s actually relevant
Always good to get the US perspective on an article about Amsterdam
Ironically this article reads like GPT output
But the government regulation will never come without a LOT of voters feeling very unhappy, so perhaps don’t tell people they shouldn’t feel unhappy about the situation?
Let’s leave aside the fact that everything produced today by so-called AI is absolute dogshit. Let’s pretend it produces things that it’s asked to produce. Even in this version, where’s the pleasure in watching a story you’ve just created with prompts? The point of story is to be taken on a ride by somebody else - ideally someone you trust to give you a satisfying ride and not waste your time.
I mean, just look at the way Microsoft are trying to ram “AI” into every interaction with every app right now. As the big players make it more and more non-optional, people are going to have to work really hard not to put anything into, say, Word that they don’t want sent back for analysis
Why would billions of us stop our excess pollution when we can just kid ourselves a handful of billionaires are doing it all? /s
Nobody can audit the code for all their apps. Even within an ideal world where the code is all open, people don’t have the skills or the time. Sensor permissions are supposed to be a system so that people can have a strong level of confidence in apps without needing those skills and time, and so not having the ability to control this sensor is a problem - but an OS problem
Speaking of which, it uses the same web interface as a lot of other news sites. Newsletter popup, autoplay video part-way down that then jumps to the top of the screen, etc. What Hifi is the same, and there are various other sites all with the same annoying engine. Two questions: (1) are all these sites owned by the same company and (2) is there a browser extension that can fix them?
It would have a massive effect. Transport (car) emissions are one of the larger - and growing - sources of emissions.
And we can’t hide behind “But the corporations…” because ultimately what they produce gets used by us.
So to answer your question: riding a bike when Global Capital wants you to keep buying cars and pumping oil into them is one of the best acts of defiance you can make
