I’m definitely no battery engineer, so correct me if I’m wrong, but… wouldn’t a 100-mile-range battery pack have a shorter life span than a 200-mile pack under the same usage since its charge/discharge cycles would be deeper in terms of %, and possibly more frequent because of the reduced range?

Love reading stories like this, imagining myself in their shoes, as I am a web dev. Thanks for posting.

Oh, so it's basically one and the same with Calckey, being the software powering it. Gotcha.

Link? Google doesn't seem to know about it and neither do I

Can we all put our clicks together and make an effort to erase the swastika around (70,857)

This seems like sound logic 👍

I’ve seen Duke Cannon in lots of brick-and-mortar stores.

Is this something I should Google, or…. maybe I shouldn’t?

@Tygr @herpderpedia Kbin does not support !community links just yet, but it's in the works on some level. Linking to Lemmy communities from here can't really be done without the full URL, which does mean one would have to provide two links - one that works on Kbin, and one that points to the original instance.

In related news, linking to Kbin magazines is currently a bit borked as well, because the only other syntax that works (@magname) is assumed to refer to a user account and not a magazine.

That's a good point, lol.
No, according to The Verge's article, they say that users don't like the current system:

“First, many don’t appreciate the clutter from awards (50+ awards right now, but who’s counting?) and all the steps that go into actually awarding content. Second, redditors want awarded content to be more valuable to the recipient.”

And there are hints as to what may be slated to replace it:

While Reddit hasn’t specified what the new system might look like, Android Authority may have dug up some clues. Based on code in the Reddit’s Android app, Reddit appears to be working on a “contributor program” that would let users cash out gold or karma (basically, points you get for posts, comments, or giving awards) they receive into real money. Reddit didn’t respond to a request for comment sent Wednesday about Android Authority’s article.

OTOH, this post in r/ModCoord posits a different explanation:

By getting rid of awards, Reddit is unloading a business liability. Because all those existing coins could buy ad-free Reddit.
