It’s worth noting that there are (shitty) people in the world who consider cis people who are unable to, or merely choose not to, have children as lesser or not Real men/women. It’s a distinction that has relevance in some limited ways, but has no logical bearing on your identity.

True, but if you control both endpoints, e2ee and https look very similar.

Fair point, and if ypure worried about privacy while transferring images, a VPN should have already been considered.

I would think e2ee would be important if youre uploading files when away from your local network. If that isn’t enabled, then it’s far less important. At that point, it would only matter if there was a compromised client harvesting your wifi packets.

The world needs those two gifs combined so we can more easily (and awesomely!) answer this question in the future.

On an unrelated topic, I used to work with someone who could type just fine with winter gloves on. She would do this all thentime because the office was so cold.

The answer to that is to do what God said to do to hasten his coming: spread the gospel. Not ban abortions, arrest gay people, criminalize trans people. Spread the gospel. Anything else is them using religion as an excuse to promote their opinions. I realize a lot of people here recognize that, but I still think it needs to be said.

When that is the light in your day…

The McDonalds point is in reference to inflation, which will certainly have an impact on the cost of vehicles. And I feel like you don’t grasp the concept of a luxury vehicle. By definition, it has more than the basics. This could be why my EV cost less than $20k used and a Model S costs $151k new. No ponytail, but I don’t expect having one would hinder my basic math, economics, or English comprehension skills.

Tine to spin up some alts?

Absolutely. If we had done so with batteries and solar, imagine where we could have been. Both technologies languished for far longer than they had to.

All good. I just keep seeing this all the time about batteries, simply because most of the technological advances are slow, cumulative, aggregate, and largely invisible to consumers. Then people complain about how none of these advances ever make it to market while ignoring, for example, how many pounds old, barely capable cell phones were compared to the functionality of smartphones these days that can run for a full day on a battery a fraction of the size we had for those old behemoths, all apparently without any of those breakthroughs making it to market. I mean, look at the first cell phone in this article. I suspect some advancements occurred in batteries between then and now.

The point is not about this particular article, but the general attitude of that comment, which boils down to “Why is there an article about a technological breakthrough that may never pan out in my community about technology?” I feel like these guys would have complained about Newton’s quaint ideas for a new way to use mathematics. The fact this particular article is about technology that is demonstrably taking off while they complain about articles on battery tech not being implemented is pretty next level.

I’ll take out of context quotes for $100, Alex.

Those changes are over 40 years, only 13 years of which apply to your reference, and include only one component of a luxury vehicle. Also, the current base price for a Tesla Model S that it showed me was $150k. If we apply inflation to $140k since 2012 ($150k minus the $10k you said), we get a value of $197k. So, $47k cheaper in 2025 dollars.

I suppose you blame battery prices for why McDonalds costs more, too?

The sub is about technology, not industry. Also, look at the advances in battery technology in the last 30 years. There have only been 3 notable technology advances in the last 40 years from a consumer perspective, but there have been significant advances within each of those major technology changes, resulting in Wh/kg increasing by 6 to 10 times and $/Wh dropping about 99%.

If you want to hear about things that could happen or are about to start happening in industry, this is the right community. If you want to know what you can buy tomorrow, try Amazon.

I’ve driven by a few radar speed indicators in my car, and I’m consistently going 4 km/h less than what my digital speedometer says, regardless of speed. I find it difficult to believe this is an accident. So if I had your vehicle and it behaved like my speedometer does, I would still only be +1 over the limit. Also, I now drive with my speedometer +5 to +9 relative to the speed limit, which keeps me more in line with the traffic around me.

Still using Nova? I stopped using it when Branch bought it, about a year after I bought the paid version.

I saw a marketing blurb for the 2026 Nissan Leaf. They are also going with flush handles (hopefully a safer design) and claimed it for reduced drag to increase range. But, market, so could be just short of an outright lie.

I may have to start doing this. I’ve subscribed to enough that I see enough to keep me occupied, and if I don’t I go to All and add anything that I find particularly interesting. This mean I miss new things I might really enjoy unless I’m not as occupied with my current subscription list. This could be better.
