Not comparable stock. Even in Q1 2022, 75% of all EV sales in the US were Teslas.

When I bought mine, I legitimately tried to get a Ford or a Volvo, but the dealerships had no stock and kept adding insane dealer fees and markups. With my used Tesla I just had to wait a week for delivery. Musk hadn’t gone fully off the deepend either yet.

I really hope journalists stop called IBM Red Hat. Red Hat is dead.

Some small corrections here (as I understand them):

In the video, they actually mentioned that Billet’s device was intended for a 3090, but “they (Billet Labs) think it should work with a 4090 too.” Unsure if anyone from Billet ever commented on that, but that seemed to be LMG’s understanding.

Additionally, the device was sent to LMG without an expectation of return. They asked for it back after the poor review, but when it was originally sent over, there were no strings attached.

They did find who the device was sold to, and it was just a random person at LTX (LMG’s tech expo), not a competitor. Sounds like they auctioned off a lot of random stuff from videos there, and it was likely mismanagement rather than malice that caused them to sell it.

The Madison situation is obviously shitty, but I think there’s a big distinction between her experiences involving sexual harassment and the “grind mindset” culture that LMG seems to have. Both are problems, but one is obviously larger than the other. I believe the new CEO stated they’re going to bring in external investigators regarding the sexual harassment claims.

When it comes to them rushing things to keep up an unreasonable video schedule, I think that’s a valid criticism, but in no way do I feel like it’s some kind of line in the sand that can’t ever be forgiven. I also think that GN probably should have asked for comment before releasing this kind of criticism against arguably their largest competitor.

I love seeing “aggressively LGBTQ inclusive” tankies bend over backwards to support a literal homophobic fascist dictatorship and parrot their talking points.

Yeah I was talking about Americans specifically

It’s because that’s how we talk. We say October 5th, not the 5th of October.

I used RIF for 12 years and I think Thunder is pretty close. The only thing it’s really missing for me is better comment navigation.

I actually really enjoy the gesture upvoting it has, and it’s very customizable. The debs are super active and responsive on github and matrix too.

CachyOS is also really easy to install and treats KDE well

We have them in Florida. It’s just very cold in the Northern USA.

Are you the PoppinKREAM from reddit?

Wooosh.

It’s a copypasta from old Unidan reddit days

Season 1 was pretty good, but after that it went downhill quick

I’m sure being a woman has a nonzero percent chance to do with it

Netflix was (and imo, should still be) there because of their tech. Netflix was years ahead of other companies in terms of their backend engineering when the term was coined, and in many ways they still are.

I wasn’t saying it is, but it can make a difference.

If you’re in the price point anyway, I think an EV is a no brainer. Why get a $50k BMW over a $50k EV? If you’re shopping for a $15k or less car, then yeah, it’s not easy to justify.

But used Model 3’s are going for $30k now, and you can get a $4k tax credit on top of that. Saving an additional $140/mo makes it competitive with a lot of mid priced cars.

Assuming that consumers will be rational is a bit premature.

Tesla wants to position itself as the Apple of cars, and it’s largely succeeded. Most techies or people more in the know might be quick to dismiss them, but I don’t think that’s the opinion shared by the public at large.

There’s still a wait time for pretty much any new Tesla

I don’t blame you. I bought mine before I really knew how far off the deep end Elon was, and while I like the car, I doubt my next one will be a Tesla again

Depending on how much you drive and how expensive your local energy bill is, the economics can work out better than you think.

I usually charge at home, and my equivilant cost per gallon (assuming 25mpg) is about $0.50/gallon.

If I drive 1000 miles per month, that’s about $140/month I’m saving. If gas prices increase to $6/gallon, which I’m sure they will eventually, that’s $220/month.

It doesn’t justify a new Tesla, but used ones are getting cheaper finally.

I own a tesla, and stopping every couple hours to charge really isn’t a big deal. Going from 20%-80% usually only takes 15 minutes, which is enough time to use the bathroom and maybe grab a snack. Most superchargers are in decent locations, so there’s always something to do for that time. Even when there isn’t, I just watch Netflix or something

SpaceX, Model X, X.com (pre PayPal), and even named his son X. Dude’s got a weird obsession with making X work.
