    Depends on the phone, I have trouble fitting models into memory on my iPhone 13 before iOS kills the app. I imagine newer phones with more RAM don’t have this issue especially with…

    Yeah one example is you can’t run Altium on macOS. You can run eagle which is similar but not the same thing as altium and has no compatibility with it.

    By accepting the grant they are giving themselves a legal responsibility to “not do DEI” where the government arbitrarily decides what DEI is. Even something like employing a trans…

    It's not the worst but the original Pebble Time Steel looks better IMO. I understand why they used a simpler case design (They don't have the resources to make anything like the PT…

    I mean night workers also don’t get to do other traditional evening events like go to a concert or bar so this doesn’t bother me. Night workers in nearby time zones would be able t…

    Sure but Nextdoor is still a huge business trying to reach the widest possible audience of local areas. Something limited by if you’re awake when it’s up is different IMO

    I kind of like the idea of a regional social media app which literally doesn’t work in other parts of the world. It makes the space a little more special than something trying to r…

    Trump has a long history of falling out with his political allies. Will the trump musk alliance last 4 years? Who knows.

    Considering SSD prices have crashed it’s the only way to go IMO, it solves literally all of the problems with other iptions like power draw for hard drives and longevity and speed …

    There’s other big changes like the current model 3 has a heat pump and the 2018 one doesn’t

    Not like that but an ICE car from 2018 and 2023 are basically the same while a 2023 EV is massively more efficient than a 2018 one.

    The biggest one I can think of is really stupid actually which is a NACS port and proper supercharger network access for any non Tesla (and I personally would recommend against buy…

    Accessible taxis already exist and are probably better for elderly people since they have a drive to help you get in and out of the taxi

    I actually think robotaxis will never really catch on widely in the US outside of big cities or maybe very poor people with no other option or misc use cases like if you own a car …

    I mean Waymo already has competitors, Uber, Lyft, and regular taxis. Right now Uber and Lyft are typically strategically priced to be slightly cheaper than taxis are but I think Ub…

    As long as your old cars are like Toyota corolla/camry’s and not like giant gas guzzling SUV’s or trucks keeping them on the road is better than buying a new EV IMO. I think the cu…

    Obvious answer is to run something on top of UDP like QUIC does

    Also worth noting that all of the Toyota trucks are way less reliable than their other cars because truck fans are pretty adamant about having the best technology and being able to…

    I drove a first generation hybrid 2006 Lexus RX 400h for many years until 2024 and I’ve never had any issues with the hybrid system. There were a few other issues with the car and …

    Sure you can but that’s not necessarily what people with large lawns are going for. Also a lot of the areas like that are completely unsuitable for growing food

    The launch startup space has completely fallen apart over the last 5 years. SpaceX and rocket lab will make it, I’m not so sure about everyone else.
