I bought a Rabbit R1 for half off used on eBay, but only after I learned you can install full Android on it.

Yeah I think they needed horsepower to run some sophisticated models in Matlab, and Apple had a killer educational discount.
How did you feel about the L3 charging rate? 50kW isn’t super fast.
I just want an EV company to make the equivalent of a shitty Toyota Prius.
Just seemed odd to pay your way into the Apple ecosystem just to wipe it and install Ubuntu
Yeah, but he’s right about that part. Hybrid cars are just BEVs with more steps that can’t be recharged at home. Maybe useful for planes and other specific applications. Dumb for cars.
I remember having my mind blown in college when I saw a Mac Pro tower running Ubuntu in a lab.
Techbros love reinventing trains https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5M7Oq1PCz4
If you want to spite this guy, ride a bus.
You could even use one from the 1940s if you want!
Assuming your tuner was manufactured later than around 2005 and supports ATSC digital broadcasts. Also makes me wonder when you got your TiVo. I thought they were dead long before everything went digital.
What a coincidence that the best broadcaster who ever lived or will ever live happened to be alive in time for us to record him and immortalize his voice to use for generations to come.
That’s why we’re doing this, right? Because there’s no other human alive who is capable of reading a script as well?
Handling a pet peeve of mine. 3 seconds into the video, he talks about induction stovetops and shows a picture of a glass top radiant stove.
Radiant stoves are just slightly better than electric resistive stoves. They are not induction though they can look similar. People try them and hate them and assume induction is terrible when it isn’t.
The only thing I can think about is if you billed to a university address. A couple electronics outlets I shopped at would give discounts for students and universities.
Wasn’t there a bounty out like 10 years ago for writing an open source alternative to the video drivers? I remember reading about that.
Took a looong time, but I eventually got mine. I think it might have even been more than a month. They are certainly in no rush.
Issue is that if I remember correctly the vive was an outside-in concept that required base stations to be setup
But that wasn’t the complaint levied. They were literally complaining about needing to walk around.
And for many of that it is just fine to sit on a couch and still have a benefit from the technology.
But everyone knows the people watching at home on traditional 2D TV get the best view. Zooms on the players/performers, slow-mo recap, etc. I can’t imagine the nausea of having your entire field of view warped across the court to see every special angle. Not to mention, until whatever VR app has a plug in for every thing you’d want to do on your phone while you’re watching the game, you’re stuck paying 100% of your attention to the sport.
Hell, even the people at the concert or sporting event spend half their time on their phone.
When the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift first came out, the rift didn’t yet have full-room support. You had to sit facing the base station and use a video game controller. Meanwhile, on Vive, you could stand up, walk around, and manipulate the world with two tracked remotes.
One pro-con comparison I read at the time actually listed needing to walk around the room as a con against HTC. That is the whole point of VR.
I think the core issue is that every piece of new technology so far has helped us get lazier. People used to walk around an office, then they sat at a computer, now they carry their computer with them and do things from the couch.
Nobody wants to get up to do things if they can avoid it, and that’s the only real benefit VR/AR provides.
You can also request all of your posts on Reddit in a neat little csv. Takes about a month to get though.
Does anybody remember back in 2005 when Google had a plugin for windows xp that would index your entire hard drive and give you quick search for your files?
How things have changed.
4 gigs of ram, 100+ gigs of storage, and a cute design. Meh. At least it’s not totally useless.
