Very classy merc ๐Ÿ‘Œ

The owner clearly cares for that thing well - the finish, bodywork and chrome-like elements look absolutely immaculate

Wait hold on - persistent notifications (where when you swipe, a settings cog icon appears) have been ripped out of A14? Everything disappears when you swipe?

Why ๐Ÿ˜ญ

[-] lemann@lemmy.one 3 points 10 months ago

Neat, thanks for the additional insight!

fair point that I didn't consider! my assumption would be traffic, seeing as the toll is branded as "congestion pricing" - which wouldn't really make sense for motorcycles because they make up so little of the actual cause of traffic in NYC (large motor vehicles).

If we're talking about noise though, and how clean the engine burns fuel, motorcycles are 100% guilty as charged IMO.

Deaths and injuries is a little muddier because there are several factors at play, fault could lie on any individual involved in the accident, or maybe even the road design itself. I don't think these would be robust enough to use as the sole basis for a toll fee

Sounds good overall, should reduce traffic levels significantly and make people consider whether they really need to drive their car in such a compact city.

Not sure if I agree with tolling motorcycles though, they don't take up anywhere near the same footprint as the average car

I agree here entirely.

The article is pretty much at fault here, as far as the bot is concerned if garbage goes in, garbage comes out

[-] lemann@lemmy.one 6 points 10 months ago

Nice, thanks for the link ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Adobe is the one company i'd never, ever, ever want to support, especially with a subscription. ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ all day every day

The tldr bot is pulling directly from the article - it used to use ChatGPT wayy back when it was originally created, but it got expensive for the creator, so now I believe it uses some sentence interpreter library to compare relevance of paragraphs, in combination with semantic HTML tags/markup.

The code for it is on GitHub

Louis Rossmann unveils Grayjay - a video client similar to Revanced and NewPipe, but shows your subscriptions from various video sites in a single feed.

Site: https://grayjay.app/

The app is OSS but not Free, which I'm personally completely OK with.

My old sandisk SATA ssd was starting to get really slow for some reason. The SMART data and the sandisk SSD dashboard app were saying the SSD was healthy, but its performance wasn't anywhere near what it was when brand new.

When benchmarked, it was all over the place with looong access times:

Sooo I decided to take the opportunity to upgrade the SSD to something faster - ended up grabbing a Transcend 512GB drive, with onboard DRAM

There were two problems though:

  • My motherboard doesn't support NVMe (at least officially)
  • My only available PCIe slot is an x1/single lane

After researching, I realised that the single PCIe lane would still give me almost 1GB/s in real world usage - even though its far from the 3GB/s the drive is rated for, it's double the speed of SATA and it's worlds apart from my Sandisk ssd lol.

Ordered an NVMe to PCIe adapter, and proceeded to chop up my PCIe slot to make it fit:

PCMR NSFW

It took a while since I don't own a dremel ๐Ÿคช

Once that was done, I kapton taped up the exposed metal bits on the NVMe adapter, that could short on a mobo heatsink nearby.

In it goes!! (The GPU went in after the pic lol)

After re running the benchmarks, OMG the speed difference is insane, although it's limited by that single PCIe lane.

I was caught off guard by something else though. After cloning my existing install to the new NVMe SSD, it booted right up, with the original Sandisk drive gone. My BIOS does not even recognise the NVMe drive as a disk drive, and there are no settings anywhere in there for it.

BIOS person, thank you whoever you are, you saved me needing to do more jank to get my unsupported NVMe drive working!

I am more than happy so far with the dramatic speed increase compared to the SATA drive. I can now actually shut down my desktop when I'm not using it ๐Ÿฅฒ

A fairly comprehensive take by Louis on owning a Framework laptop after two years - seems pretty positive overall!

The durability in particular seems to be a really strong point of the repairable design.

A few issues are mentioned, such as the unimpressive keyboard, a battery drain during sleep issue under Linux, and a design error where the RTC battery can soft-brick the laptop if left unattended for a long period of time.

Despite those, Framework seems to have really knocked it out the park with a great repairable first gen laptop IMO

Curious what alternatives to Tasker are available for Android. Slight preference to FOSS options, but any suggestions are welcome ๐Ÿ˜

The last time I used one of these apps was almost a decade ago on my S4, kind of missing the convenience stuff I had set up back then - like adjusting the volume/opening apps/changing ringer mode when certain devices connect and disconnect, when the charger is connected etc.

I've been using a reusable 36oz/1L plastic "flip lid" bottle from Bezos's market - this is my third one (sadly replaced almost on a yearly basis) since I keep accidentally breaking the lids.

It practically comes everywhere with me - walking, cycling, in my backpack. This lid is starting to crack at the hinge and the latch though, but don't really want to replace it with the same thing again.

How long have you had you had your current bottle, and how are you finding it so far?

It's probably too early to get excited over this - Apple needs to implement repair friendly measures first before we take this at face value, instead of their previous IRP program & self-repair 'token gestures' to appease legislators.

Amazon and Walmart continue to sell old discontinued Chromebooks which no longer recieve security updates, while independent repairers have restricted ability to sell on the platform due to "quality control".
