As someone who games at 4k on a video card from 2017, I can confirm that VRR is a must-have feature for gaming at lower frame rates.
VRR means that falling off your set frame rate doesn't matter. 56 FPS is just as smooth as 60 FPS. If something explodes and the game drops to 40 for a second, you don't really notice.
This. If you're unhappy with the shitposts, block /c/[email protected] and like magic, they're gone.
Some Gen Zers are reacting to the seeming financial downfall of society by simply doing nothing.
They weren't called the 'me' generation for nothing.
What's that, you want government to make it worse? Here, have some stage 3 tax cuts.
Just received my new BYD Atto 3
I took delivery this afternoon. It's running software version 1.0, so it doesn't have the fixes, Android Auto, etc from newer software versions. It also doesn't have mobile data active yet. This apparently comes after they send delivery confirmation through to BYD and the mothership acknowledges that the car belongs to a customer now. Trying to update it on wifi doesn't work, it just claims it's on the current version.
First impression: it's quiet. It's just quiet all the time. Not just when you're rolling down a hill or along a flat, but accelerating up a hill. There's no engine noise.
Yes, I know there's no engine noise because there's no engine, but this point bears repeating. For the entire first hour, I drove around town with the A/C fan on low and music turned off just listening to the absence of noise. It's quiet.
The silence makes driving it feel effortless. There's no roaring engine, you accelerate up a steep hill and it just smoothly glides up the hill. Not eve

- Use the edge of a glass to separate the mango flesh from the skin
- Take the chunk of mango in your hand and carefully cut it up with a blunt knife. Put the pieces of mango in a bowl.
- Peel off the strip of skin left on the seed and eat the bit of mango that's still attached to the seed.
- Have a bath.
- Eat the bowl of mango with a fork.
The bad news is that it may be a while before you can get back to devouring your favourite 60k hurt/comfort WIP.

If they did, Apple wouldn't adopt it and we'd be in exactly the same place as we are now.

Valve have said they aren't planning on a new Steam Deck until there's substantial technology improvements, so I wouldn't expect to see one for at least a couple of years yet.
It's all mashed together into one broken link. The Mastodon post was https://universeodon.com/@reverendender/110684373666510819 and the actual article was https://www.insider.com/meta-threads-delete-account-instagram-2023-6
Most of hydrogen's problems are solvable - we can pack a car with hydrogen tanks, make hydrogen with electrolysis, build infrastructure, etc.
The big killer is price. Those hydrogen filling stations aren't $1000 each like home chargers or $50,000 each like DC fast chargers, they're something like 2 million dollars each. And you need them everywhere, there's no home filling to carry most of your usage.
The hydrogen you put in them? You have to pay for not just the electricity that makes it into your car's electric motor, but all the energy that was wasted along the way:

Nobody's looking to spend all that money on filling stations, and nobody's interested in paying 2-3x as much to fill their car.
IIRC it depends a lot on humidity. If humidity is low, you can be fairly comfortable at higher temperatures with just a fan on.
Intel's Linux support has always been pretty good. IIRC they even do open source video drivers, it's just that nobody cared about drivers for their IGPs and they didn't have real video cards until recently.
I think they were pro-hydrogen, and now they're using hydrogen as an excuse not to do battery EVs.
People who have heard of hydrogen cars but haven't looked at how inefficient and expensive they are still think that they're the future.
Naw, cheating at life is if your Daddy owns an emerald mine in apartheid South Africa, then you get smart people to do the thinking and PR for you.
There's a risk that you'll start to believe your own PR and try to do it yourself, though. I can't imagine that going well.
Yeah, but Reddit makes pennies per user from showing them ads, so they're still losing money.
Rather than laughing all the way to the bank, it's more of a forced chuckle on the way to the dole office.
Their announcements about products that are way better than anything that actually exists with no solid plans to actually bring it to market is actually just another flavor of anti-EV FUD.
It's not the right time to buy an EV because our imaginary product is SO much better than any of those boring products, you should wait for it and keep buying our gas vehicles for now.
they do understand that the APIcalypse will make their financial figures look great
That would require people to actually pay that API pricing. The apps closing down and AI people scraping the web site instead won't help them.
It's remarkable to me that Reddit could have let one of their PR drones write a post that essentially took seven paragraphs to say, "Sorry but we have to" and it probably would have mostly blown over.
But Huffman's ego took the wheel and he had to make it personal. Instead of just leaving, people are actively cheering for Reddit's downfall.

So, I just ordered an EV.
The other day I ordered a BYD Atto 3.
For ages I've seen people who ordered Teslas posting pictures of the charger they've had installed even though they won't be receiving the car for ages. I remember one even painted the whole garage red and white with a Tesla logo on the wall. I thought they were quite silly.
I currently have 12 tabs open for various EV chargers. I get it now.
Anyone know what sort of waiting times BYD have at the moment? The order page still just says "Order Received" and hasn't moved on to "In Production".
