Stellantis-backed Leapmotor unveils B10 SUV to be sold globally and priced between $14K and 21K in c/evs@lemmy.world

It seems like “globally” doesn’t include the US this time. We need more affordable options here and Stellantis needs to get in the game.

Trump's cognitive decline continues in c/usa@midwest.social
[–] kinttach@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

Someone, maybe Elon, told him some stuff about hydrogen vehicles and he’s regurgitating it in a jumbled way.

He’s always been incoherent and intellectually lazy. Not good qualities for a president. Now combine that with burnout from doing rally after rally and you get this. But I’m not sure I’d describe it as cognitive decline.

I have an EV with 250 miles range. Typically gets more than that, not less, in the summer with AC on.

Apple Intelligence is so underbaked in c/apple@lemmy.ml
[–] kinttach@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Very few people will be able to use it: only iPhone 15 Pro and higher. Most users won’t have a capable phone until their next upgrade in 1-3 years.

Hopefully by then they’ve caught up to where Anthropic, OpenAI, and Meta are today.

About US$8,500 with 110 km range and can be ordered from their web site. https://cargen.com/product/ape-e-city-fx/. The petrol version is US$3,500.

Anychance all the inflation we're are seeing is foreign entities ditching the dollar after seeing the state of things? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] kinttach@lemm.ee 20 points 1 month ago

Inflation has been falling for a couple years and is fairly low right now, though not as low as it was back when interest rates were zero.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/273418/unadjusted-monthly-inflation-rate-in-the-us/

The dollar has been fairly strong in recent years.

https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/index/dxy/charts

Inflation in 2022 was likely due to price gouging with companies like Exxon Mobil reporting record or near-record profits at that time.

https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/XOM/exxon/gross-profit

By late 2022, companies had jacked up prices high enough that the demand curve had likely reached the “crossover” point. Since then prices and inflation have been falling back to normal.

it would be nice if iWork used ODF as it’s really not productivity software if its formats are not compatible with the rest of the world no matter what OS and software one is using in c/apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world
[–] kinttach@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

I have used the Excel/Word/Keynote formats with iWork and it’s okay. MS Office is the de-facto standard format and recognized by Google Docs, OpenOffice, and of course MS Office.

I don’t think it’s a truly open format like ODF, but you can be sure it’ll be recognized everywhere for a long time.

NASA Decides to Bring Starliner Spacecraft Back to Earth Without Crew in c/nasa@lemmy.world

Commenters were shut down by people repeating Boeing PR because THEY already knew the outcome.

Thanks to everyone who shut down speculation. You were right! They are 100% coming back on Starliner. There’s no question at all about safety, and the only reason they haven’t come back yet is because it’s a perfect opportunity to study the problem while Starliner is still in space.

That’s what the article said, right? /s

I’ve been locked out of PayPal for years because of their mistake (lemm.ee)
 

About 3 or 4 years ago PayPal added the option to buy cryptocurrency, which I thought I’d try. (Dumb idea 🙄)

Part of the sign up process was glitched. I retried and clicked submit one too many times, I guess. Now I’ve been unable to use PayPal for years. They blocked me because THEIR SITE was broken, but the web page essentially accuses me of being a criminal and asks for my bank records. No way in hell.

This was just for me to pay others. I can only imagine how awful PayPal is if you are a vendor.

Fuck PayPal.

I see this error almost every time I open the comments on a post.

My server is lemm.ee. Does it not support the “mark as read” feature?

Apple Store across the street from an Apple Store -- are there any closer than this? (lemm.ee)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by kinttach@lemm.ee to c/apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world

Comedian Lewis Black has a routine about “a Starbucks across the street from a Starbucks”. Apple Stores aren’t nearly as common.

Unless you’re in Glendale, California -- where Apple Glendale Galleria is across the street from Apple The Americana at Brand.

Are there any other Apple Stores this close together?

The stores are less than 150 meters apart, but unfortunately they aren’t within sight of each other. As you exit Apple The Americana at Brand, you won’t see the other Apple Store — only a notably uncrowded Samsung Experience Store.

How reliable are EV chargers? (lemm.ee)
 

New EV owner here. We charge at home so I don’t need to use them, but stores nearby have chargers. I tried them to see how they work. They are often broken.

One store has a Volta charger (free!). It worked great the first time; the next time I went it was broken.

Walmart has an Electrify America fast charger. The first time I went, 1 of 3 was not working. The next time I went, 1 of 3 was not working, but it was a different one.

Was I unlucky, or are these charging networks unreliable? Has it been getting better or worse over time?

Spoiler policy? (lemm.ee)
 

What’s the policy for this community if we want to discuss current shows? And does Lemmy have a way to mark spoilers?
