Very cool, thanks! This will make it a lot easier for me to post OC.

Thanks for the reply and apologies for getting back to you. I typed that out right before going to bed :(

Looking in developer tools, it does look like Cloudflare is what’s blocking me. Here’s the cf-ray value: 8f4ffe74bffc22f1-ORD

Now that I’m on a PC, I can simply open the file in an image editor, resave it without making any intentional modifications, and the upload succeeds. It makes me think that it has something to do with the image metadata (maybe EXIF?).

I’ll send you a pm you a link to the unmodified image momentarily.

I tried using the lemmy.world web UI and got the following error: json.parse unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON file.

I also get an error using the web UI - json.parse unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON file.

I still can’t upload unedited pictures from my pixel 3a via Jerboa :( For whatever reason, uploading them as-is results In a 403 response. Editing them in google photos (minor cropping), saving, and trying again would often result in success.

Find people who care about what they’re working on and they’ll go well beyond the extra mile. As an extra motivator, make it clear the company won’t be around if they don’t succeed. I’m sure these employees have shares, but tha only really matters if the company succeeds (extra motivation!). Unfortunately, there have been a ton of green/green-adjacent automotive “startups” that have struggled to gain a foothold. See also:

• Fisker
• Faraday future
• Detroit Electric
• Elio Motors

(I’m sure many others)

TIL, thanks!

Are you in Europe? In the US, our 120 volt mains limit the size of what can go in our normal outlets. I’ve never seen an electronic grill, unless you mean something that we would call a griddle.

Except BBQs are often against fire code so they’re not allowed 😭

Turning leftovers into fried rice generally results in one of my favorite foods. That’s not to say I don’t like more upscale options too, but man.

I truly don’t get PMs who themselves haven’t done the thing they’re now PMing. I like to think I make a decent PM because I was a user, got frustrated, made my own version of the thing that was way faster and easier, that saw some success, I learned a bunch, and now I PM that space after I figured out I had much stronger opinions on what a thing should do/be and why that mattered than then actual implementation.

Qualcomm’s stuff is within single-digit percentage points of the current-gen AMD and Intel chips both in power usage, performance, and battery life

Back in June, the new Snapdragon X processors were a lot more efficient than their x86 based counterparts. I can personally attest to much lower levels of heat generation.

The problem is that the current tradeoff is that huge amounts of the software you’ve been using just does not work, and a huge portion of it might NEVER work, because nobody is going to invest time in making it behave.

I agree with the sentiment, but IMO this is a PC and Windows problem. I would also extend this beyond pure comparability. I say this for a few reasons

• I lose about 5% charge/day with my laptop asleep. It does wake up very quickly, but 5%/day feels like a lot. At this point, I don’t think Microsoft has a strong incentive to really optimize the kernal for efficiency
• Historic massive variability in hardware across devices also makes it hard to optimize efficiency, although the current crop of snapdragon x laptops seem to have less variability
• One of the strengths of windows is that it can run applications written 20+ years ago fairly reliably. There’s a ton of software that’s still floating around that hasn’t been actively supported in years. I don’t see all of these software companies desiring to port their code over, especially without guarantees that the market will adopt ARM (the Apple approach) or until they see the ARM adoption rate go up (the current Windows approach)

All that said, I’ve had zero issues with emulation so far. I never personally used a M1 max when they launched, but from reports of that era the current Windows experience is at least as good as that.

I own a Lenovo Yoga slim 7x Gen 9, which is powered by a Snapdragon X. It certainly checks the “good enough” box. I use it primarily for photo culling/editing (I’m a holdout dedicated camera user). It is more than fit for purpose there, stays cool, is slim, and although I know the fan has come on a few times I wouldn’t have known if it wasn’t on my lap. When I bought mine, it was also one of the better deals - you could upgrade to 32 GB of memory and a SSD for under $125 in total. The SSD also isn’t soldered, but the memory is. The 3k OLED display is amazing, but if you want the ultimate battery sipper it’s probably not the best choice. I still get tons of runtime per charge, but am somewhat sad that I lose about 5% charge per day thanks to the laptop not really being off while asleep.

The biggest downside is linxu support is very hit and miss depending on the laptop in question, which means you’re tied to windows 11. I don’t have the time to tinker with it, so I haven’t looked much further into it than this.

It’s not just the surface devices anymore. In June this year, a fresh wave of ARM powered laptops from a verity of different OEs launched. There are offerings from Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, Asus, etc.

Oh, sorry - it was the post title.

I still view it differently than being locked out of using actual OEM features of the car

Totally agree!

I do find this unsurprising though based on the metric fuckton of spam you get from SiriusXM after buying any new or used car from a legit dealer.

I’ve always wondered how much this costs relative to the number of takers they pull in.

The song in the meme is Ohio is for lovers by Hawthorne Heights.

And I can’t make it on my own (And I can’t make it on my own) Because my heart is in Ohio So cut my wrists and black my eyes (Cut my wrists and black my eyes) So I can fall asleep tonight, or die

Deep, I know.

Not to say that Dashboard Confessional doesn’t have similar lyrics, lol.

I would love to teach kids. I take any opportunity I can to mentor people at work, but in a school setting would be super cool. The pay cut relative to what I make now just isn’t worth it. Maybe in another decade when we have enough set aside…

Teslas unlimited Internet package is also super cheap at $100/year the last time I checked. Competitors are multiple times more expensive.

SiriusXM does revenue share with auto companies.) Old article, but I’m too lazy to dig through a financial report or find something newer.
