No regrets. Polestar 2 MY22 long range AWD. Ride is a lot harsher than in the BMW i4 for instance (family member has one). But overall I wouldn’t want to switch.

With normal news websites, A/B testing could be a thing. We had a rudimentary implementation of that back in 2011 already. But this is Reuters, a news agency. They are B2B and don’t care about clicks, their business model is selling first hand reporting to other media outlets (e.g. CNN, USA Today etc). As stories develop, so does the title. Especially when ongoing conflicts are concerned.

I’ve been using Backblaze long before it showed up in YouTube ads. It’s a great product.

Sorry I don’t. I only have the HDMI card.

Does the Index really need full DP or does it work via USB-C? Because in the end all those expansion cards are just USB-C accessories. I’m asking because we own a Quest2 and use it with USB-C and my desktop PC. Haven’t tried it with my Laptop.

I have the 13" AMD one. Only reason I still have Windows on it is because I can’t get Davinci Resolve to run under Ubuntu. Otherwise very happy with my purchase.

Had this exact thing happen to me. Luckily my Framework laptop’s BIOS allows me to pick the EFI boot order and I set it back to the Linux Boot loader.

Nope, Austria. I can imagine they have the same problem in Amsterdam as we have here in Vienna.

No, no and no. In our country, there’s a loophole in traffic regulation allowing for anything under 25kph on bike paths if it’s electric powered. This resulted in a super dangerous situation for normal cyclists. I commute by normal bike and believe my it’s terrible:

• food delivery guys switched to electric scooters (think Vespa) and clog bike paths. These things are way too heavy in case of a collision with a pedestrian or cyclist.
• the 25kph speed limit is not observed! Either the manufacturers don’t care or the drivers tweak their rides.
• the acceleration is way too sudden. Even a regular E-Bike needs to ramp up to speed. And you see when the driver engages his drivetrain by way of them moving their legs. With a throttle you just have a lump of mass that suddenly jumps forward. Super unpredictable.

So now we basically have way too big, way too heavy and way too quick objects on bike paths endangering everyone else.

There needs to be strict mass limits for vehicles allowed on bicycle paths. There need to be acceleration limits. There need to be mandatory checks for pedal-less ebikes. If a bike from a manufacturer is found that can exceed the speed limit, there need to be existentially threatening fines. Because their products are threatening lives!

This. When I got my CPR training, the consensus was: if you hear or feal something crack, don’t stop. Messing up is better than doing nothing.

I admit it: I’m a lurker 99% of the time. I do partake in the up- and downvoting though.
