If it’s fun and still reasonably affordable, I welcome the upcoming “greaty six”

Right on - thanks for the “level” response.

An electric Fista ST would be legit, but only if it was ~200+ miles per charge, reasonbly light, and came in at a price point even remotely close to where the FiST did.

I mean, if 130 miles electric was a $15-20k car it’d be a great cheap commuter, but who cares how comfortable it is inside if you have to get out and stretch your legs every 130 miles?

How does the bolt feel to drive - honest question.

I would just like an electic equivalent of the Fiesta ST, with ~200-250 mile range.

I think the side loaded app I use the most on my FireTV’s at this point is probably ProjectM - the open source “runs on anything” build of the old Milkdrop plugins for Winamp. Freaking fantastic, other than you need either a mouse or a mouse emulating app to close the menu on the very first time it’s run. I wish…

I think the implication was that there are so many great cloud-functional cameras (for example) that are single-service locked. It’d be nice to see a camera that supported cloud OR local, with a list of compatible cloud providers it could work with. There’d be no motivation for the seller of the camera to do that…

how is the EB flex to drive?

On paper I should hate the things but.. I dunno for some reason I just kinda dig it. Not in a “it’s my dream car” kinda way, but I guess I kinda like that when it came out it was a bit different. Needs to be off-white with wood paneling and baby moon wheels, just an offensive rolling monstrosity.

For a moment I thought the ad was infinitely more interesting than the article lol.

My point was simply frustration that it happens now. It used to be a little more unintrusive, but it’s gotten so far that using Amazon search is pointless. It’s far faster to just add “amazon” to the end of a product name in google to find something. You can type an item’s exact header text and it’ll still bring up…

I don’t think that’s it alone - I have heard that Amazon will approach sellers so they can pay to be bumped up in the rankings - I read an account from someone that was an “official” seller, and for the first couple weeks on the marketplace he was doing great, he could search the product and see himself come up, then…

Hey I remember that article! Because of that article I was initially pretty annoyed when USAA’s buying service shifted from in-house to “powered by truecar” - do you know if different companies have different negotiated rates for their “powered by truecar” systems? I’ve done a search/quote on the USAA one, and I’ve…

Historically I have used a car buying service - these days usually the one from USAA (which is powered by TrueCar I think, but the prices are usually a lot lower than the ones the normal truecar website spits out for some reason - maybe extra negotiated discounts for veterans?). What are your thoughts on such car…

I just wish I could search for “brand:product” and have some hope in hell of having the item I am searching for come up as a result. As-is, I just search google for “brand:product amazon” and get a link direct to it. Obnoxious at the very least. I’m searching for a specific part for a network server, I don’t need to…

Man I must live such a sheltered life by avoiding Facebook/Social networking entirely (well, almost entirely - I use linkedin for business development). I don’t experience that sort of thing on a daily basis (black people in pictures with monkeys, muslims and pigs, etc.). Black people and farm equipment though? What…

On some level, I wonder what % of users buy the cheaper chromebooks to install windows or linux on them. That’s what I did, personally - bought a couple of 79 dollar chromebooks from woot or somesuch and threw xubuntu on them for when I travel. If it gets stolen/broken/etc. I don’t really care about it - if I need a…

It feels like they’re headed that way. I’m also wondering if Apple will do something similar when they make the shift to all-arm. IIRC they’ve already said it’s imminent - I wouldn’t be surprised if the shift to all-arm gets announced/released with some sort of cloud compute service to run non-arm (or very “heavy”…

Thats kinda what I thought - I have my main uber desktop workstation, a macbook pro (work), ipad pro (work, the pencil’s easier on my hands after carpal tunnel surgery than mouse/keyboard and it counted as a “reasonable accomodation” for my job!), etc. all sorts of goodies - but I use a raspberry pi 4/4gb as a…
