I see comments like this about EVs all the time but it just isn't my experience at all. I've never in my life charged for an hour at a DC fast charger. On most EVs, you'll see a 15-30 minutes for 0-80% charge but you don't have to charge above 60% where the charge rate usually slows significantly. For instance, a 10-60% charge on my car takes about 10 minutes and that gets me close to 150 miles of range. All of this assumes you don't have access to level 2 or even level 1 charging. If you do, then you'd never need to go out of your way to charge.

I quite enjoy MacOS but they are way more likely to break backwards compatibility than Microsoft. I would argue that one of Microsoft's biggest problems with Windows is that they don't break compatibility often enough. The engineering effort they put into maintaining support for archaic software is pretty immense.

This is nothing new. Windows 10 will be 10 years old at that point. They’ve done paid extended service for several previous windows versions. I don’t like Windows or Microsoft. I run Linux or MacOS where I can but I can’t fault them for supporting an OS for 10 years.

Yes I have and I think they're fair. $14/mo for Youtube + Youtube Music vs $11/mo for Spotify.

I get it that people don’t like Elon. I don’t either, but I’ve gotta say the Tesla Model Y is my favorite car I’ve owned. I’ve owned 7 or so cars at this point.

I’d rather not own it at this point for Elon/political reasons but it isn’t because of the car itself.

There aren’t alternatives is my part of the USA due to lack of charging options. That is changing now that Tesla’s network is opening up but that hasn’t happened yet.

I was starting to think I was the only person around here that wasn’t falling for conspiracy theories.

I work in the physics world and I am continually surprised by how dumb smart people can be, especially if ego is involved.

I've done my share of distro hopping and I must agree with Pantherina@feddit.de.

Fedora has the near perfect balance of being stable and always up to date. I found the codecs and non-free software to be a non-issue. You enable the RPM Fusion repos and install then like anything else.

I don't know how you can follow web development and say Mozilla is a slave to Google. They go against nearly everything Google proposes. I get it that Mozilla makes money off of Google but in practice they are anything but slaves.

Hard disagree with this. Both of these games are large zone, systems driven games which makes them more demanding on the CPU than many games out there. Starfield will probably a little more GPU demanding than Baldur's Gate 3 due to dynamic lighting systems and draw distance.

No one is saying FSR should be excluded.

Though if there’s only going to be one hardware agnostic upscaler then I’d rather it be XESS than FSR.
