“Most” seems to be doing some incredibly generous work here.
Yarr intensifies
I see we can mark off “double down on wartime economy boost” on the recession check list.
Yeah I can almost guarantee that the original plan was always for him to leave. He was going to be the scapegoat with a golden parachute, allowing the company to keep the unpopular changes while disbursing the bad publicity. It’s exactly what he did with EA too.
I hadn’t considered that… fair point. Pay someone handsomely to take the immense PR hit and move on.
You’re not wrong; I suppose my criticism is as much of that practice as it is of this individual specifically.
My only complaint is such maneuvers tend to come with golden parachutes - his mismanagement of Unity leading to the whole fee debacle and erosion of trust deserves no such soft landing.
I consider the privilege of choice in taste of one’s preferred stimulant to be one of the few small joys to late stage capitalism.
Frankly, I make solid six figures and still have a hard time even contemplating buying a new car. With how much value is lost short-term it’s like just burning cash.
I think the best vehicular investment I’ve ever made was a moderately-used Chevy Volt for, like, ~14k. That thing is a tank and still gets some EV / efficiency cred.
Username checks out.
At risk of smug, things like this really reinforce the arguments in favor of EVs.
Oh no, petroleum is more expensive… anyway…
I’ll have to look into it - thanks for the suggestion.
Poor Splunk - such a useful tool does not deserve the upcoming enshittification.
Hikvision has a decent line of chinesium local-only PoE cameras. I’ve used a few of them with Frigate and Home Assistant with great success.
You are aware that was a generalized observation, right?
I suspect you’re just not liking being in this comment.
You’ve managed to avoid the knee-jerk “useful idiot” etc vitriol? I’m impressed and envious.
an EV charged from fossil electricity saves only 33% on emissions compared to a fossil car
Or, stated more honestly, an EV deriving electricity from even fossil-based grid-scale generation uses roughly half the raw combustables as an ICE with the added benefit of emission scrubbing.
if i am paying 40k$ for an EV i am expecting my purchase to act as a contribution to safeguard the environement
We are fortunate, then, that this is already the case.
EVs are a pass for me for now but thats my opinion.
I’m not sure how you’ve determined they should be a pass - if you’re comparing like to like and comparing to new ICE vehicles of similar capability, there’s no reason not to go EV for most people.
But sure, it is a matter of preference.
You are aware that internal combustion engines also use non-renewables at a much lower efficiency than grid-scale use of non-renewables, right?
Were you aware that only ~1/3 the energy from combustion is harnessed for propulsion in a traditional ICE?
The lack of Google/Microsoft enshittification is a huge draw.
That would be several steps up from where BSG is.
