TL;DR for people who don’t want to read the article:

EV’s are losing range, likely due to increased AC usage during hot weather.

Theoretically extreme heat can cause batteries to degrade, but modern EV’s have thermal management and probably can keep their batteries cool.

I design lots of things that go to space

Well, luckily for all of us, that’s his problem and his mistake to make. We can all just hang out on our unaffected instances

The Mary Poppins remake. To be honest, the movie was ok, but what really ruined it for me was the fact that a girl asked me out on a date to see the movie, then decided I wasn’t The One halfway through and just up and left

I had two android phones. The first one bricked itself after about a year, and the replacement was unusable a year later (even google maps was laggy). The second one suffered the same fate, with the added fun of being abandoned by Samsung after only 1 major android update

To each their own. I’m glad you enjoy mastodon

The problem with Mastodon is that they don’t have very many major entities actively making posts. The main thing I track on twitter is OSINT and US politics, and that community basically doesn’t exist on Mastodon right now

Would you be interested in running a new version of iAMA on Lemmy?

I sure hope they set that up to record regardless of whether sentry mode is enabled

Something I’d really like to see is if they could set up an organization whose entire job is to do interoperability testing between chargers and cars. I’m no expert, but I’d be willing to bet that at least half of CCS charge issues are because manufacturers are lazy and use cheap software.

Also, how is it that its 2023 yet we still can’t have plug and charge on all cars? It’s such a basic feature

Let’s be real, Fidelity isn’t devaluing Reddit because of what’s happening right now. They’re devaluating them because all social media is in a valuation tail spin right now. But Reddit didn’t seem to get that memo, and is now desperate to do anything they possibly can do to boost value before spez passes the bag to another sucker

Nugget_in_biscuit was indeed part of this, the first lemmy in-joke in history

I think the better way to ask this question is “why do physical games not cost more than digital copies.”

Nowadays the majority of game sales are digital, which means that publishers are going to set prices so that they can sell a digital game with an optimal profit. According to this article, physical retailers cause price parity because raising the price of physical copies would cause them to not stock your game (which would of course open shelf space to other publishers). In all likelihood, physical copies will go up in price once they are only stocked by niche retailers and/or online distributors (who don’t have the shelf space issue since most folks already know what they want by the time they browse Amazon).
