Any suggestions for improving battery life?
  • Shot in the dark, but is your SSD running hot? Like actually burn-your-skin hot? I recall a few years ago on Mint and on a similar generation Lenovo laptop I had an issue with Mint not managing the power consumption of the drive.

    sudo hdparm -B /dev/device

    sudo hdparm -C /dev/device

  • Slate Truck is a $20,000 American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, and no touchscreen
  • The truck will have speakers (speaker ports? Rail?) Along the front dash and glove box area.

    The SUV variant is weird because it is a two door and the windows do not roll down. Think 2 door sedan.

    20k after federal incentives is a deceptive way to say 28k.

    The business concept sounds solid IF there is a market.

    I want it.

  • If there is spy/telemetry nonsense, I cannot see why it cannot be wrenched out of the car.

    Most people don't remove their telemetry devices from their cars because they would lose functionality. This car has no functionality to lose.

    If the telemetry is integrated with the car's main controller, I'm optimistic someone can crack it.

    I wonder if I can run Doom.

  • FAA targeting Verizon contract in favor of Musk’s Starlink, sources say

    >The Federal Aviation Administration is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract to overhaul a communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control system and awarding the work to Elon Musk’s Starlink, according to two people briefed on the plans.

    fediverse.space alternative?

    This website is supposed to help visualize networks and communities on the fediverse.

    The website does not appear to be working.

    Their mastodon project page is also gone: https://mastodon.social/@fediversespace

    Does anyone know of any alternatives?

    [Request] How Should I Repair this Coat?

    I have this nice heavy winter coat that I accidentally tore a small hole in the shell near a chest pocket. It's a tiny rip, but I don't want it to get any larger. Any advice for how I should go about repairing it? I want to try a visible mend instead of a simple patch. The tag says the shell is listed as 61% cotton 39% nylon.

    Until I find a used 18mm watch band, this will be my watch band.

    !

    It builds character! I wanted to see if it would be a practical fix. It is unnoticeable when I am actually wearing it. It is not a forever fix, so I will keep an eye out for used watches to see if I can snag a replacement 18mm band.
