The only remotely suspect part is she filed the plan to sell the shares as soon as she knew Musk was going all in on Trump, it doesn’t take a genius to know that would finish Tesla. The plan is then the fastest timeline to offload her shares before Musk kills the company.

Have you tried adding blueberries to it, they are an anti oxident

Simplest way is a Windows VM and screen capture in the OS running the VM. Obviously next step for Microsoft is to detect and block Windows VMs, good luck to them with that.

Yeah sadly so much of the keeb space is locked within

I’m sad to say best way to find the ones close to you will be your local keeb discord, as painfulas discord is. UK it’s limited to prototypist meet ups or the main UK discord.

Anything that supports either Via or preferably VIAL is fully configurable in Linux (and windows). Both use QMK firmware for the keyboards, although it has to be compiled to support either Via or VIAL, this is usually done for you. QMK is open source, so a nice fit for Linux and device longevity.

I believe a large chunk of Keychrons support Via with a firmware flash, but I haven’t tried those.

Yeah, this fucks him personally, as so much of his wealth is tied up in Tesla shares. Tanking Tesla directly tanks Elons wealth.

He cannot sell large tracts of shares without further depressing share price and his usual trick of promising random bullshit like self driving taxis or cars that deliver themselves does not work anymore to boost share price before he sells some off.

The problem is that the battery is usually half the cost of manufacturing the car, larger batteries still means more expense, at least until whatever replaces the current battery tech is mainstream.

Britians cheapest brand new EV that isnt limited to 28mph top speed is the Dacia Spring at £11k. $17k is about £13k. UK average commuting distance is a round trip of about 40 miles. In an ICE car thats costing about £6 a day, vs. 70p in an EV that can charge at home overnight. My kids basically get brand new (small) EVs for free vs. running an older ICE that I would gift them just on the fuel saving.

Obviously not everyone can change at home, but this will change the more people push for it.

Go to a meet up if you can and try out different boards, switches, key cap profiles, talk to owners etc. before you spend any significant sums. Impact of key cap profile and materials is often underrated.

If you cant then switch testers and “cheap” 3d printed or acrylic boards are a decent way to try different layouts, especially if you can sell them once you finished with them. Sure you can skip this step if you know the exact layout you want, but I didn’t.

Learn what types of switches you prefer, if you like them lubed, filmed, ball bearing mod, stem swapped, etc. is worth the effort. As is getting good at stabs.

I think another fundamental is deciding if you are one and done or you will keep buying boards. Buying keyboards then building them is the hobby for me, I have loads, more than 50. If its the former then you want to spend longer nailing down what you want, the latter it doesn’t matter so much.

Its snobby but mass market boards are ok, just ok. I would much rather have something more premium, with a bit more thought around it. It is more risk than buying from your average shop though, and you need to do proper research into the GB runner, even then they can exit scam (ask me how I know).

Being able to decide everything you want for a board, mounting style, plate material (or even no plate), switches, how they lubed, if they filmed, what stabs you use, what keycaps, all make fundamental differences to a boards sound and behavior. Getting that how you want it can take time.

Only touch screen controls for important controls are a safety hazard, and the upcoming safety standards in the EU will withhold the top ratings because of this: https://etsc.eu/cars-will-need-buttons-not-just-touchscreens-to-get-a-5-star-euro-ncap-safety-rating/

Controls for things like the radio or cruise control are fine on the wheel as buttons. Indicators absolutely aren’t, and are the example I used for good reason. Honestly I have no words if you cant see that they are an actual safety hazard on something like a roundabout, particularly one you would navigate at speed.

Simple left or right turns at say traffic lights or other junction aren’t the problem, trying to activate them while the wheel can be at some random orientation is difficult, so you end up not bothering.

Not signalling when at a round about is an offense in the UK. Its rarely enforced due to lack of traffic police, but its enough that its an actual offense that the car should be designed not to make it considerably harder to use them. In the event of an accident serious enough for the police to get involved if you didn’t indicate then that’s going to count against you.

Which ones aren’t? Also deciding to copy dumb ideas from elsewhere is even more dumb as someone else did the alpha testing for you, showed it was dumb, and you still copied it.

I forgot the yoke instead of a wheel. That’s another Elon special.

Buttons for indicators I know are on modern ferraris, I can’t afford one but I still wouldn’t buy one because of them. Try using buttons on a steering wheel when doing a right at a roundabout, just the dumbest shit.

BYD is eating everyone’s lunch at the bottom not just Tesla.

Tesla could have prospered by sticking to the mid range but their build quality is appalling even for a lower mid car.

Couple that with some truly dumb design ideas from Elon (no lidar, no physical buttons, indicators as buttons, stupidly high repair bills due to design choices) and some even more stupid personal behaviors from him and he has just cut the legs out of his market.

EV buyers who are spending more money care about this kind of thing, budget buyers it is mostly about price.

With a thermostat, smart or dumb, you set a target temperature and a time. With a dumb thermostat it waits till that time and then activates. With a smart thermostat it should learn how long it takes to heat or cool to that target temperature in certain conditions and then aims to hit the target at that point.

So if you got up at 8am and wanted it 20c with a dumb thermostat you got to work out when it needs to go on in order to hit that as no heating system is instant on something the size of a house, with a smart thermostat with learning you do not need to do that at all, just set it for 8am.

As no system is working in a vacuum how hot or cool it is outside, even how sunny it is, has a big impact on how quickly your system heats or cools. Being able to measure and compensate for the outside temperature means the actual start time can be adjusted for you. This can save significant amount of cash.

As an example, lets say the outside temperature was going to be -10c 6am till 8am and you wanted it 20c by 8am. Doing it with a dumb thermostat you would either have to live with an under or overshoot on temperature. Say next day its 2C, now you need to adjust your overshoot again. With a smart thermostat I do not need to do that at all.

Sure, you can just live with the under/overshoot, but its better for your bills and better for the environment not to.

Aren’t the robo taxis remotely supervised as well? Not really level 4 if somebody is having to do that.

This would be like you downloading a dvd iso from TPB, then pressing millions of copies of it, then selling it online via Amazon. As openai is trying to directly profit from the work they “stole”

Seems to be missing stenotype keyboards like this one: https://stenokeyboards.com/

They have to be the fastest way to type if you can learn the chords properly, around 200wpm.

I have always wanted to move to a steno keyboard but not had the focus to put in a an hour a day for a month or so to get good at it.

I do use a lot of 30 and 40% keyboards and use chording on those but not for actual letters, just stuff like backspace or enter. Smallest I can actually do work with is the Pain 27 thanks to using home row mods and chords but that step to remembering all the letters as well just needs a lot of extra practice.

That looks awesome, perfect for POTA/SOTA ham radio usage

I have 2x32"@4k side by side at 100% scaling. No way I would switch to a single ultrawide as I would be losing screen size, so I would have to adjust the ratio to make it the same size and thus lose screen real estate.

I also prefer two monitors as I have different workspaces for each so I can switch just half the “screen” between different groups of apps. It would also be harder for my tiling WM, sway, to tile the large number of apps currently split over two workspaces without a lot more faffing.

Oh and switching apps to full screen would be less useful, I use that a lot as it’s just two keys to flip it back and forth. I can keep reference on the other screen and the other app full screen.

Which EVs have front drum brakes?

Regen comes in all different strengths depending on what the automaker decides is appropriate for that car and the budget assigned to it. Cheap EVs like this one you can normally turn it off or on, and may be get a one pedal mode.

Something like the latest Taycan is pretty brutal with it set to its highest level when traveling at speed and that’s just lifting off the throttle. I feather the throttle when using regen to adjust the level it gives me, otherwise it would be an awful experience for my passengers, bit like some one stamping on the brake every time you want to slow down. Using the throttle to adjust the regen is no different to using the brake pedal progressively once you get used to it.

Regen is there to supplement the brakes not replace them for emergency or other unplanned stops. Once you doing an emergency stop you are at the mercy of the ABS system anyway, as that will limit your stopping distance based on the actual grip you have at that moment in time.

EV wheels done correctly actually lower the drag on the car improving efficiency. If they are done really well they also lighter with lower rolling resistance reducing that all important unsprung weight, which further helps efficiency.

Wheels even affect ICE cars, with larger heavier wheels impacting CO2 rating and economy for some models. The VW XL1 is an extreme example of this pushed as far as it could go at the time.
