Google ran a huge push to get these into schools too… There was a LOT of pressure on Schools to adopt from various partners (or at least that happened in the UK)…

Google is aware of the Microsoft gains from getting people used to their products at a young age…

I’m really confused… Did you answer my question?

If you buy a derelict house(that no human can possibly live in) and fix it up to a decent standard with the intent to sell it, are you still a piece of shit?

Peace with no occupation would be ideal.

Security related issues should go through responsible disclosure and it’s up to the maintainer to provide such a process or the recently flurry of “opportunistic whitehats” will continue to spam your issues and require triaging…

Github provides a process for this under the “Security” tab: https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/security as an example…

I find that by having a documented process it filters out a decent amount of time wasters.

I guess you gotta celebrate the wins when you can no matter how messed up the situation is! :)

I know this isn’t the core of the story but I’m kinda proud of my country (The UK) for not fucking this up.

I think the UK Justice system did it’s job here, albeit keeping him detained for a lengthy duration to do it.

RE “next-gen” “every day” “everywhere car” I can’t comment because they don’t really make a quantifiable point.

RE Charging: In the UK we had charge at home infrasatructure w/ .gov compensation and charging points at businesses/supermarkets/petrol stations way before a specific branded Supercharger infrastructure started arriving.

RE “whole automation”: What do you mean? What point of Tesla is more automated than an Audi or BMW for a UK daily commute? Autopilot simply doesn’t work for the vast majority of UK commutes and has been shown to be a poorly operating application with a potential incoming ban.

I think it’s important not to rewrite history to fit a narrative.

I don’t have any data on sodium-ion.

I agree w/ the “best” argument but I don’t agree with the “first to market” argument… There were a notable amount of electric cars in the UK before Tesla became a thing. Perhaps things in .de are different…

I did notice in Berlin just a few weeks ago that you guys don’t really seem to be pushing for clean air zones in major cities unlike a lot of the UK which given your progressive population came as a surprise to me.

Isn’t heated tho :P

They don’t “all” have to be connected, the vast majority of available global models aren’t (IE a lot of the affordable Indian/Chinese models).

The vast majority of models sold in the USA are IE Tesla. More affordable models like the Renault Zoe afaik aren’t but I’m not sure how accessible these are in the USA. I’m not sure about the Chevvy Volt tbh… Consumers can purchase to buy a non-connected vehicle.

Out of the EVs I have I mostly use the one that is connected so I can do automations to turn on climate control etc. Connectivity is a convenience/safety thing for me and I assume others…

1. Bidet toilet seat
2. Good mattress & office chair.
3. Home Automation devices (mower/vacuum/lights etc).

Agreed, but specifically an aftermarket electric seat bidet to save in a load of plumbing.

He was my local (Bradford) MP and he was absolutely useless. The main has a fragile ego and is totally dedicated to himself. He is an opportunist politician and Rochdale will suffer for it.

I’m sorry Rochdale, it’s going to be a rough few years…

FWIW; this is not a practical problem, it’s a political one. Conversion kits don’t get a pass/by from the law, they are subject to the same laws just like home brew conversions.

Fun fact: In the UK there is no ability (DVSA/DVLA[requirement to legally taxing/insuring a car]) for legally driving a converted ICE to Electric car. This is due to the MOT test having a test for CO2 and if the test returns null or “out of bounds” the car fails it’s MOT and therefore is illegal to drive.

Such a wonderful country.
