Yeah that photo of the trail looks so dang good, makes it suck to have to work on Monday.

Is there a number on the break even point where it’s better for the environment to buy a new EV than to keep driving an old ICE vehicle? I bike most days when I don’t need to buy more than a backpack of groceries or go more than 3 miles. Surely when you consider the carbon cost of refining materials and constructing a whole new vehicle, it doesn’t make sense in most situations for people who drive less than 30 minutes a day on average. This is of course assuming you have a current vehicle, new vehicles should have to be hybrid/EV in the modern era.

Still more of a sport than esports

Yeah a lot of people love their car or truck more than anything else in life. Which is crazy when you think there’s such a high risk of it being totaled at a moments notice with normal usage.

I bought a Hisense and it had the option during setup to disable most smart features and leave it in “basic mode”. I was already going to put an Apple TV in it so I just left it there and I’ve been happy. Only thing a tv needs is settings and the ability to change inputs.

How is it different from writing how you feel in a journal at night?

Looks cozy as hell. I'm just waiting for things to cool down more in my neck of the woods so I can get out without being drenched in sweat while I sleep.

Yeah I’m in the same bucket. Once libreddit dies, I’m off Reddit for good. I still like to browse some of the communities that aren’t fully established on Lemmy yet there and libreddit is he only thing that makes it palatable. I can’t stand reddit deciding to only show you the first comment in a chain of 30 and asking you to log in to see the rest.

Better voice to text. I’ve been acting like a boomer a lot more recently by dictating things into text fields and judging from the accuracy of the LLM models like whisper, I could seriously see myself using voice to text for everything that doesn’t need to be spelled out.

I’m pretty excited for usb-c but you’re right, it’ll take a while. I’m still not entirely certain if I want to trade in my 11 since it’s still running just fine, but I also have the fiancés 12 mini, both our airpods, and my 9th gen iPad that we don’t plan on replacing anytime soon so we’ll need at least one lightning cable around the house. That said, wireless charging alleviates a lot of that since MagSafe is so convenient. Really just need the cable for the iPad at that point.
