I leave it as an exercise for you to determine the level of hyperbole your respondee was using.

The Facts Are In: You Shouldn't Worry About EV Battery Replacements in c/electricvehicles@slrpnk.net
[–] DahGangalang 8 points 1 day ago (7 children)

So not saying this is what the data is saying, but the article is worded in a way that this thought could be true:

What if the reason people aren't replacing the batteries in their cars because they're just selling/trading in their cars? The article doesn't directly say that the first gen cars' batteries are still usable (let's say 80% of "new" capacity), it just says people aren't getting them replaced, which isn't necessarily the same thing.

Does anyone else know any more about this? Its my understanding that an electric car's battery is expected to hit that 80% of new capacity somewhere around the 5 year mark (and as someone who rarely owns a vehicle less than 10 years, that's been a personal barrier to me jumping to EV)

Been using Cromite as my daily driver browser. It doesn't allow "real" extensions, but I guess devs built in Adblock Plus, which is really neat.

Def wish I could have Old Reddit Redirect and my dark reader apps on it tho. Keep a Firefox browser around primarily for that.

Ah, yup, this makes sense. I'm in good ol' U.S. of A (for context in my previous comments, in case it wasn't obvious). Hearing about these European laws def makes me envious for some modern work reforms.

You're not wrong, and I agree.

TL;DR: I don't want perfect to be the enemy of good enough.

I do worry that being too aggressive with that rate would cause the private sector to lobby extra hard and thus prevent any legislation from happening in the first place, hence why I suggest a reduced (but still substantial) stipend for the unemployed-but-still-bound period. In the sectors this most effects, the pay is generally high enough that one would have a comparatively easy time surviving on half salary while they figure out next life steps (as loathsome a compromise of that scale would be)

That's neat.

I've been saying that basically needs to be the way non-competes work (that you receive some payment; 50-75% of original salary while unemployed and under non-compete) restrictions.

Probably n00b Question - Mead Brewing (self.homebrewing)
 

For context, I've dabbled in home brewing. I've made ~4 successful batches based on online recipes. I wouldn't call myself an expert, but also not a complete amateur.

So what happens if you don't rack your mead/wine? I suppose the notion I have is to let it set in primary (assuming there's no fruit/spices to remove after initial fermentation) until its fully clarified before going straight to bottling?

I guess I've assumed there is some problem in the clarification step if you don't "get rid of" the dead yeast that precipitates, but I've never seen anything exploring that as a method.

Can anyone offer their experience?

Screen isues after latest update (self.grapheneos)
 

Just got set up with latest update and am having issues with up swipes when scrolling (e.g. on webpages), when up swiping to access open apps/full app listing, and when trying to "back" swipe (i.e. trying to back out of a menu.

To be more descriptive, if I stop scrolling with up swipes, usually the next up swipe won't work and I'll need to do it twice to have it register the gesture.

For opening my list of apps and the full app listing (swiping from very bottom) I usually have to try about 5 times for it to register the gesture. Same for back swiping.

I use the standard Grapheme launcher and haven't installed any new apps since the update. Issue started this morning after the reboot for OS upgrade. I do have a screen protector, but I'm not seeing any issues with any tapping gestures, so I doubt that's the cause.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Anyone know any fixes?

Save help / warning to other n00bs (self.emulation)
 

cross-posted from: https://infosec.pub/post/30689546

So recently had a hankering for some Pokémon hacks so booted up my old Pokémon Storm Silver ROM (using retroarch with Desmume as emulator).

I spun up a new game and played a bit, but it wouldn't let me save a new game since the ROM had my old save data. I decided to just save the game state with the built in retro arch save state functionality. So beat the champion using save states as alternative save feature with 60 hours on game clock (probably MUCH less due to my abuse of ffw feature).

But when you beat the champion, it dumps you back to the title screen. From there, I can only load my old data (since my current play isn't properly saved in the game data). As such, I can't play any of the post elite four content.

Anyone aware of a workaround where I can erase the games data from a save state? Kinda feels like I'm just SOL.

If I am, let this stand as a warning to other Pokémon fans. Always take the time to clear your old data!

App Store Recommendations (self.graphene_os)
 

Just recently took the leap to Graphene OS from stock android.

One problem I'm having is getting my apps and keeping them updated. Obviously I've been trying to use F-Droid, Accrescent, and the Grapheme provided app store where I can, but work and friends require me to have apps not available there.

I've been using Aurora Store for everything else, but it seems really buggy (tons of instances where apps won't update, will need ~3 tries to properly install, will notify me there was an error when the app clearly installed, etc). Additionally, I saw somewhere that Aurora store has some privacy/security issues (but didn't dive deeper to see what was meant by that).

I've read Obtanium is another option, but it looks like that still will not meet all my needs.

I suppose I should also say that I'm hesitant to use the Play Store / Play Services at all. I get there's sandboxing around them that makes them less invasive, but I don't full grasp how Graphene accomplishes that / what specifically it prevents.

What are you guys using for your App Stores? Should I just put aside my concerns and trust the sandboxed Play Store?

Appreciate your attention and consideration on this!

How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? (infosec.pub)
 

I'm a tech interested guy. I've touched SQL once or twice, but wasn't able to really make sense of it. That combined with not having a practical use leaves SQL as largely a black box in my mind (though I am somewhat familiar with technical concepts in databasing).

With that, I keep seeing [pic related] as proof that Elon Musk doesn't understand SQL.

Can someone give me a technical explanation for how one would come to that conclusion? I'd love if you could pass technical documentation for that.

Latest / impending Reddit bumble + Why to expect influx from Reddit? (self.outoftheloop)
 

I've heard Reddit is setting themselves up for another major fumble and that it relates to how much Spez is a fanboy of Elon Musk.

I can't find any details on the drama playing out though. Can someone explain the details of what's going on?

I would love to see Lemmy grow with another big "Rexxit" event, but I'm not seeing anything happening to cause one.
