ebc , to technology in YouTube’s Loaded With EV Disinformation

EVs are a good stopgap solution for climate change while we rework our urban environments to be less car-centric.

But we have to start somewhere, and as an individual I can pester my representatives to improve public transit & infrastructure and at the same time look at EVs next time I buy a car. One doesn’t preclude the other, and EVs are still a step in the march towards carbo-neutrality. They’re not the destination, but they absolutely have a role to play in getting there.

These are bad from a local air-quality perspective, but they’re not relevant to climate change.

Batteries are often the part that has the longest warranty. It’ll be a while before it’s your problem, and even then, costs will probably be down by a lot.

I’m in Canada, we’re supposed to get the US model which is longer and not out yet. The European model is only a 5-seater so it’s not for me.

My previous vehicle was a Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid (which I sold in 2022 when I left for a long trip), and I actually bought another one after Tesla cancelled my order. It is a good option, but my main gripe with it is that it doesn’t have enough electric range and it only charges on AC. I was ready to go full electric, but apparently the market isn’t.

You mean the VW ID.Buzz? It’s not out yet, and I needed a car in June.

I bought a car last summer, and I had my wallet out ready to buy an EV. I had only 2 criteria:

  • Must seat at least 6 (I have 4 kids)
  • Must be under 100k CAD (a bit beyond my budget, but I’m willing to stretch to avoid gas)

Guess how many models were available? 1 - the Tesla Model Y, 7-seater option. And I did order one, but they cancelled my order because they stopped selling that variant in Canada.

So that’s why I didn’t buy an EV. Manufacturers can’t be arsed to build a car that meets my very simple criteria; they prefer making another boring 5-seater crossover or yet another humongous “luxury” SUV. I want a minivan, dammit.

I use pancake, works pretty well. It’s paid, but only a one-time payment and you get the code.

Someone posted a pretty good guide on Lemmy about 1-2 months ago, I think it was on the selfhosted community. Maybe take a look there?

ebc , to news in 'They Want To Be The Gatekeepers': Car Dealers Are Stopping Customers From Buying EVs

My most recent car purchase went pretty well. I knew exactly what I wanted, I saw the car in stock on their website, and I called them saying I’m picking it up today. It went so fast they didn’t have time to pull any bullshit.

ebc , to programmerhumor in Average TS developer

As a beginner you don’t see the benefits as it is indeed JS with extra steps. It’s not worth it for small projects and prototypes, but once you start having larger projects where you need to refactor something, you’ll see the benefits.

Also, auto-complete.

ebc , to technology in Apple has a memory problem and we're all paying for it

I buy and use Macbook Pros for work (web dev), and I do look at specs. And yeah, 8GB is ridiculous and the upgrade prices are absurd. Amazingly good machine, though.

ebc , to asklemmy in What secret do you know that could ruin someone else's life?

Writing passwords down isn’t that bad, actually. We humans are very good at securing little pieces of paper; just put the one you wrote your password on with the other valuable pieces of paper, in your wallet.

It’s “sticking the post-it note to the computer screen” that’s the problem.

It actually doesn’t light up anymore…

ebc , to selfhost in [Question] What are your computers named?

I use famous computer scientists. Torvalds, Kernighan, Ritchie, Woz (for the MacBook). My most recent one was bought in Hampton VA, so I named it kjohnson after Katherine Johnson (as seen in the movie Hidden Figures, she used to work at the NASA facility in Hampton).

I think it’s a good system, and I don’t think I’ll ever run out!
