I don’t love most Lwaxana episodes, but that one and Half a Life are wonderful.

I use the Control D private DNS, which performs similar functions to a pi-hole, but I think is easier to set up.

I’m in the same boat. I make drives that require refueling even if I leave home with a full tank once every other year (Philly to Indianapolis). Even with a very high range EV, that would probably require multiple recharges each way, so that’s not a great use case for EVs, but you know what? That’s what rental cars are for. I’ll happily get an EV for the 99% of driving that I do within three hours of the Philly metro area and rent an ICE car for the at worst annual trip I take that isn’t convenient in an EV.

Of course, this is all theoretical for me because I drive a company car and so don’t have much choice in my vehicle, and I probably won’t have to buy my own car until that job perk goes away.

When I had a Pixel 6, there was a bug that caused awful battery drain when on 5G, so I changed the preferred network setting to LTE for like a month while waiting for them to fix the issue.

It had NO effect on my regular use at all. Running speed tests showed that my max download speed was significantly slower while using LTE, but that’s obviously not indicative of real world usage. If there was any difference between LTE and 5G in terms of page loading, media streaming, etc during regular daily activities, it wasn’t perceptible.

It’s wild that in the few instances where the generative AI feature would actually work quite well (summarizing lists of distinct instructions), it often pushes long-form video instead.

Yeah, it’s definitely a bad episode, but it’s really just a pretty bog standard “new technology goes haywire” Trek episode. It was a good episode for RDM acting-wise, and the makeup effects for Paris’ deterioration were pretty great.

Agreed. He doesn’t have any trouble interpreting or expressing feelings, it’s just that he’s kind of a prick with an identity crisis.

Because at the point that this episode occurred, Hugh wasn’t really an ex-Borg yet. He wasn’t part of the overall Borg collective, but he was part of the rogue Borg, and whether or not he was fully an individual read probably still up for debate.

Holy shit, $170 a year for pro? Who on Earth thinks it’s worth that? SAAS is generally an infuriating model, but I definitely think I get $100 worth of use out of Office 365 over the course of a year. Evernote is just not that useful.

I’ve survived layoffs at companies where we were told that following the cuts, we were going to get leaner and more agile and more efficient.

I’m sure you’ll be just shocked to learn that what actually happened is I ended up doing twice as much work to pick up the laid off people’s slack, and at the end of the year got a smaller bonus than the previous year, along with a raise that didn’t cover inflation. Overall company profits, of course, hit a record high.

Say what you will about the entertainment merits of Real Housewives and Kardashian shows, at least the stars of those shows signed up to have their drama exploited for ratings. The producers of shows like Hoarders and Intervention are morally bankrupt. TLC is basically an entire network devoted to turning people’s mental health and addiction crises into spectacle for cheap entertainment, and it’s absolutely disgusting.

Yeah, but then all the dealers start singing happy birthday as they bring my crack out to me and it’s really embarrassing.

Wasn’t it just that Riker was already pissed off at her because she was famous for having gotten people killed and being court martialed over it?

Set your browser up with a good private DNS. I use Control D, which you can use to block a lot of annoying crap.

It absolutely rules that RS had this locked and loaded.

Really sucks that this world historical monster died unpunished after living a long and happy life, though.

Did she really have to? Nurses act independently in regular medical settings, but when there’s a doctor with the sum total of a civilization’s medical knowledge available 24/7, everyone else is just a pair of helping hands.

They had a black woman in a respected, professional position with an officer’s rank. The same with an Asian man.

And a Russian in a trusted role. That was a pretty big deal during Cold War times, too.

Incredible show. Gargoyles and ExoSquad were the cartoons of my early adolescent years.

What I love the most about that episode is that Mr. Freeze was a total joke villain before B:TAS. They took a guy whose entire existence was just dumb ice puns in non-serious stories and they did… that.

I was SO hoping that the nubbin bugs would make an appearance in Picard.

I have a Pixel 6 and it’s like they specifically engineered this thing to be as drop-prone as possible. Without a case, it’s SO slippery.

It’s so good. They pick up some pretty niche shit that bigger services wouldn’t even think of.

Because there are a lot of people out there who don’t know about or understand all this, and I don’t think a regular consumer should be expected to know about weird software quirks to be protected from a company’s rapaciously anti-consumer policies.

This is actually my biggest complaint about fedi services. I really love the baseball communities on Reddit (not on Twitter, though, that shit is toxic and often very homophobic), and there’s just not a substitute elsewhere. I would love for baseball Lemmy to take off.

Tesla exaggerated EV range so much that drivers thought cars were broken (www.reuters.com)

Tesla has consistently exaggerated the driving range of its electric vehicles, reportedly leading car owners to think something was broken when actual driving range was much lower than advertised. When these owners scheduled service appointments to fix the problem, Tesla canceled the appointments because there was no way to...

This person HAS to be doing a bit. There’s no way that was serious.

Car companies like Honda, BMW, and Hyundai are banding together to build an EV-charging network bigger than Tesla's Supercharger empire (www.businessinsider.com)

Car companies like Honda, BMW, and Hyundai are banding together to build an EV-charging network bigger than Tesla’s Supercharger empire::Tesla has been building out its Supercharger network for over a decade. Now legacy car companies are taking a page from Elon Musk’s playbook.

flatplutosociety ,
@flatplutosociety@lemmy.world avatar

This has got to be the death knell for Tesla, right? They used to be the only game in town if you wanted an EV with a long range and a design that looks like a regular car, but that hasn’t been the case for the last few years. The only real selling point they have now is the robust network of charging stations, and if that advantage goes away, there is literally no reason to buy a Tesla vehicle instead of a comparably priced EV from a traditional car company.

flatplutosociety ,
@flatplutosociety@lemmy.world avatar

Exactly. I don’t need a new car now, but when I do in a few years, it’ll definitely be an EV (I have solar panels on my roof, so it’s a total no-brainer). Five years ago, it would’ve been a Tesla, but now, that Mustang Mach looks awfully compelling.

flatplutosociety ,
@flatplutosociety@lemmy.world avatar

Eh, this doesn’t seem like a pipe dream, or even unlikely. It’s in every EV manufacturer’s best interest for there to be a big network of charging stations with universal compatibility.

Yeah, Lemmy is for obsessively shitposting about Reddit, not Twitter.
