It’s very much a car for people to be driven around in.

Whoever came up with the concept of touchscreens being somehow more sophisticated and luxurious than buttons deserves to be fired. Actually, while you’re at it, fire the guy that thought EVs needed all the useless tech gizmos cramped into them as standard.

At least you’re not only getting the giant iPads, you’re getting a giant iPhone as well!

That logo is awful; it looks like it spells “Joovar” from any sort of distance lol

I happen to somewhat like the design, though, just doesn’t look anything like a jag.

Fandom is such a shitshow… I was part of a wikia based wiki for more than a decade and experienced the transition following the buyout rebrand to fandom/curse (it apparently wasn’t a buyout, sure felt like one though).

The first thing they did was fire almost all the local staff and replace it by their people, then the enshittification began; they introduced a new discussion feed to replace the forum function (which was basically just lazy a Twitter clone). It was completely separate from the main wiki and pretty much killed off that side of the community. There were a lot of users that just used that without ever stepping a foot into the main wiki, which obviously isn’t very helpful when the site relies on users to create and maintain articles.

They also trippled the amount of ads on the site and introduced a new layout that fucked up the old one we had meticulously created.

I left that place in 2017 and so did pretty much all of the users and admins I knew. Once one of the top ten German language wikis, it’s pretty much abandoned now.

I haven’t heard of Echidnas killing people…

Most animals leave you alone if you give them space, even in Australia, the swooping technically falls under that as you’re invading their territory but it seems pretty random compared to other animal encounters.

I guess if you want a cute bird that steals you stuff there’s always the Kookaburra

I don’t know why but I kinda always wanted a football/hockey jersey like that. I don’t know anything about sports, though.

Mouthwashing has a good ending after all!

Questionable savings? I have saved A LOT of time at self checkouts, especially when just buying a few things. It’s way faster than standing in line behind people seemingly doing their yearly shopping.

IoT is supported until 2032

I haven’t looked at Tiny10/11 in a long while actually. I remember it not really working that well, although maybe it still was in beta back then.

I think he wants to do much worse things to her

I recently had to configure an older Thinkpad X1 Carbon G8 for my little brother. It’s only got 8GB of RAM unfortunately and he needs Windows.

So I installed Windows 11 IoT LTSC like I usually do, installed all necessary drivers and manually deactivated services that don’t need to run. It still uses 3GB of RAM while idling.

My 2-year-old daily driver Manjaro install uses half of that, and that’s on a system with 32GB RAM where Windows would almost certainly use more just because there’s more

Axing Holden and more or less killing off domestic manufacturing (Ford did the same to be fair).

They inadvertently killed off the Australian ute as well, as Holden and Ford were the only ones still making those. Now all that remains are giant American pick-ups.

That’s far from the worst GM has done to Australia…

It’s a pity they don’t really exist here in Australia

I love the C5 myself; might just be nostalgia from playing Ford vs. Chevy back in the day. It still looks really slick, though.

I think the C8 just looks wrong; partly because it’s mid-engined. I never had the opportunity to drive either of them though.

Corvettes always felt to me like simple and affordable sports cars for the masses; the C7 felt more like an evolution in that sense. The C8 is too fancy and sophisticated if that makes sense.

Nice!

The C7 was the last good Corvette IMO

I think I know that digital gauge design. Is that a Corvette C7?
