Yeah, I’m having trouble seeing this as real news.

Agreed. The tribe mindset on display shows me how users who love reddit as it is are not a good fit for the Fediverse. Maybe less advertising to that crowd is a good thing.

Doesn’t deserve your help in this area.
I see “but it does gps!” As an excuse in favor of the oversized screens. But a heads up display, reading aloud turn by turn directions, or even a set of lights to indicate where you should go would do the same thing better
And I’d like to have a word with them… About how good their idea is!
That’s a great start. I am dreaming of some kind of a full dashboard and center console replacement. While I’m at it, I may as well dream of having the money to afford a car that would be new enough to need such an upgrade plus be able to afford the upgrade itself.
I think the driver should definitely have radio controls, just not through a touch screen. Passenger touch screens should be for their entertainment and their own heating/cooling settings. I think the passenger controls should have nothing to do with the way the car drives and handles, or headlights, wipers, anything like that.
My opinion is that touch screens should be for passengers only. Display screens are fine, but if physical buttons are so unacceptable, then we need voice control that actually works.
Also, I’m surprised no one has started a company to retrofit buttons and switches into modern cars. Whatever kind of headache that would be to design and install, I’d like to see it work.
This reminds me of the Apple 2 c that was my family’s gaming system. My older siblings got interested in computers for games about the time Apple //C computers went for cheap at garage sales, with stacks and stacks of games and tutorials on actually flexible floppy disks. So that was my introduction to computer games.
This is the best shower thought post I’ve ever seen. Amazing!
This is perfect for the situation above
I don’t understand most of those terms, but uh, sounds good?
Permission toggles that mean something, battery life and no bloat ware sound great to me.
@skunch oh, okay. Nice! I like this corner of the internet even more now.
@PsychoticBananaSplit I’ve only bean here a few weeks, you might consider me a great sprout
That’s right! I do hope it’s the default second use for ev batteries.
Whole house backup battery systems. Whether it’s a self contained unit or a control unit to diy such a set up with a collection of second hand batteries, these seem to be coming down in cost per kWh over time.
Trouble is, owning a home to install such a system is getting less and less affordable. Renter friendly units may be the way backup power becomes affordable.
Also, I think large backup generators will be sold relatively cheap by people who bought a battery pack and home solar.
This story is big enough that NPR cares to talk about it?
I’ve pulled one of those wireless trimmers apart when it quit working. I found a rechargeable AA battery soldered in there.
