It's called a software defined vehicle and the auto industry is going crazy for it. Manufacture every vehicle the same, and activate features through over-the-air software updates.

I bought a Motorola G Power 2025 and it's great. I figure I'll be keeping it for a while since it's the last model with a headphone jack. Get one while you still can!

I think you are in the minority though. Most people are switching to hybrids from conventional ICE vehicles. In that regard, a hybrid seems like a space ship.

I think one of the things a lot of people underestimate is the poor reputation General Motors has among consumers. If Honda released an EV entirely designed and built in house, I think it would sell a lot better. Instead they sold rebadged Chevys, and people saw through it.

I have a 2020 Accord Hybrid and agree. It's a huge car that easily gets 50 MPG. A comparable EV was $10k more ignoring ignoring possible upgrades to the electrical service to my garage.

However, I'm a bit surprised Honda can make such fantastic (series) hybrids, but can't build a decent EV. EVs should be simpler.

YouTube's subtitles turn themselves on after every ad for some reason.

People like to say fructose is horrible, but it's in just about everything, even "natural" foods. For more information, listen tothis excellent podcast.

Linux on ARM is great. Linux on the Snapdragon X specifically is a hot mess due to some proprietary firmware.

When will Linux be stable on the Snapdragon X?

We do something similar on one of my teams. Instead of going through the entire codebase we have it review merge requests for bugs. It's like having a 10x developer in code reviews. Ultimately it's up to humans to accept our reject the merge request.

The performance metric that matters most is ad blocking.

I'm not surprised eBay is struggling since Amazon has basically become eBay now.

A very Agile way of working.

Not so long ago there was a lot of hype about ketamine for treating depression. How's that working out?

5 or 10 years ago, this was a smart move. Charging times were slower and people had time on their hands to wander around a store. Now everyone is getting into the charging game, at the same time EV sales are plummeting in the US.
