Don’t forget “it’s too complicated”
Don’t forget “it’s too complicated”
Probably because it’s a Crowdstrike issue, they’ve pushed a bad update.
I don’t own crocs but why do people hate them so much?
I don’t think you can correlate the number of readers to the number of book instances or whatever they’re called. Most people (myself included) probably just use Goodreads, and BookWyrm is probably a good enough alternative that there’s no need to spin up another.
Edit: according to this there’s a lot of instances: https://joinbookwyrm.com/instances/
Or what?
How is this a controversial take? If you need a wall to keep people in or attempting to emigrate makes you a “defector”, or you’ve built up a huge surveillance network where your neighbours or even partners can report you for bullshit “crimes” , you’re an authoritarian state.
What sort of things out them as “libs”?
I’ve been watching a lot of car reviews lately and yeah, I think you’re right on all points. I watched a review of the new BMW 7 series and even the air control vents are capacitive sensors refer than little levers and it just seems unnecessary. What was hilarious was that the door release is right by the air vent control, so the review I watched saw the reviewer accidentally open the door when they were trying to control the air vent.
There’s way way way too much reliance on touch screens in cars. I’m not even sure if you’d legally be allowed to use them in some countries, I feel like you’d have to pull over to just change the HVAC settings! You’d swear it was designed by someone that’s never driven a car. They’re decisions that are probably coming right from the top and the actual interior designers are pulling their hair out.
There’s also a common theme across manufacturers where settings for features are lost when the car is switched off. So you have to go into the settings and change them back every single time you get into the car.
If I were in the market for a car (specifically electric), I’d probably go for Kia. The ev6 and ev9 look really nice. I’ve seen a couple of EV9s on the road recently and I was surprised at how much smaller they actually seem than on videos.
Like you though we’re going to keep our car (Nissan Quashqai) as long as possible. There’s no bullshit and it’s practical and comfortable.
On a slightly unrelated note, the Mercedes EQ class are really ugly, both internally and externally.
The human does it out of self preservation, but the car doesn’t need to feel too preserve itself.
By getting the in the car, the passengers should be aware of the risks and that if there is an accident, the car will protect pedestrians over the occupants. The pedestrians had no choice but the passengers have a choice of not getting in the vehicle.
I feel like car manufacturers are going to favour protecting the passengers as a safety feature, and then governments will eventually legislate it to go the other way after a series of high profile deaths of child pedestrians.
What does it even mean to collect it as an nft?!
Guess that was probably on an lemmy.ml community?
My only complaint with the modlog is that it doesn’t say which moderator performed the action. It just says “mod”, so there’s no way for a community to make sure particular mods aren’t just going rogue.
You can put /modlog after the instance URL, e.g. https://lemmy.world/modlog
We don’t do that here (UK), there’s no order in which people are served their food. It doesn’t really matter, as it’s “polite” here to only start once everyone has got their food.
This comment thread is making me feel old!
This comment is so ridiculous it has to be some sort of bait.
I still use Reddit, maybe more in recent times actually. I don’t like the platform and the app is a massive pile of wank, but there’s more “normal” people there who don’t spend every waking moment hating America or going on about Linux. I still use Lemmy nearly every day but it’s more morbid curiosity now.
I hear you, but the vast majority of Audi customers just won’t care about this DRM or property rights on their car. If they’re leasing then it’s irrelevant as it’s never their car in the first place. It just won’t even be something that they even consider.
What their customers will care about is the fact that they don’t have to financially commit to getting an “optional extra” up front, but instead can pick and choose when they want to use it.
Or you can just purchase any of those features permanently
The subscription model for features on a car is shitty for a host of reasons, but at least they’re still offering the option to buy them outright like normal. If you really value ownership then at least you can purchase the car and buy these addons up front.
I’m going to go against the grain here and say I do see why they think doing this could be attractive to customers. I’d wager to say that ownership of their vehicle isn’t a priority, just look at how many people lease their cars now vs buying outright. This is a market that will have the car and replace it within 3 years. So these type of people may purchase upfront an extra they absolutely do care about and must have, but if there’s something else they’re a bit unsure of, they could leave it off, get the subscription for a month to try it, and then decide if they want to continue on a longer plan to keep the feature.
My 1st & 2nd gen Chromecasts are working just as good as was the day we bought them and the UX is exactly the same - what was it about the UX that went down hill?
