    It’s so bad, it feels like using an ipad. Notifications are buggy as hell and you can’t even disable notification center with terminal like you could on x86 macs. I’m keeping an eye on Asahi linux but it seems a little too rough to be daily driveable yet.

    Sort of unrelated but the apple support threads are all infuriating because they never answer the question. They embody the “it’s not a bug” motto until it’s clear there is a bug at which point they just say apple must be fixing it soon and to just keep your computer updated.



  • This is really only applicable to buying new things on ebay. Last gen electronics are the only thing I buy new on ebay but even then good deals are pretty rare. At this point if you want a good deal you need to go back 2 generations usually. I saved around $800 on my macbook pro by buying a 2021 model NIB on ebay a few months ago. Asahi linux only runs on m1 anyway so that was my prefered processor over m2/3 anyway.

    At least with apple, the warranty only starts when the product is activated, so as long as the original plastic wrap is still on it you will get the full factory warranty.








  • Compressed air is not a very efficient way to store energy. The storage tanks are expensive and require inspection periodically. With a single stage compressor like the article shows you’ll be lucky to crack 10% efficiency so most of you’re pedaling is getting wasted as heat. Then you have to find a way to convert it to useful energy which probably incurs at least a some loss.

    A normal ebike could be equipped to do the same thing far more efficiently. Lift the drive wheel off the ground and pedal against the re-gen brake, just unplug the battery and it can charge whatever you want.



  • I just finished repairing my dads old head unit because even though he had a new unit from audi, it needed go to the dealer for pairing. You used to be able to do it over the phone with them for free but now you have to bring it in and pay.

    I get that they have a code to deter radio theft but charging for something you used to do over a free hotline is BS. It could even be one or the other, like I’d pay to use the hotline or bring the car into the dealer if it was free but not bring it in AND pay.
