We’ve used the Amazon firestick before and it worked well. Currently we use the google chromecast/tv dongle for both ours tvs.
Nice thing about the google one is that it makes any Google movie/tv show purchases available, and Amazon movie purchases are still available through the Amazon video app.
But they’re pretty comparable. Depends mostly on what ecosystem you’re in or would prefer to be in.
Roku anything
I have a tv from them and one day the PBS kids app just stopped working. I contacted customer support and they just told me it was the app developer’s fault, nothing to be done. Waited months thinking it would eventually resolve but never did.
And recently where they:
Glad I shut off wifi to my tv years ago and plugged in a separate smart tv hdmi dongle. And not getting anywhere near anything that says Roku on the packaging again.
But you have to go to a liquor store to purchase wine…
Ideally we would be able to keep the benefit of quieter streets and parking lots though. Maybe there’s no getting around it
More pedestrians are injured in Great Britain by petrol and diesel cars than by electric cars, but compared with petrol and diesel cars, electric cars pose a greater risk to pedestrians and the risk is greater in urban environments.
I don’t understand this statement. More pedestrians are injured by gas cars but electric cars are more dangerous?
One plausible explanation for our results is that background ambient noise levels differ between urban and rural areas, causing electric vehicles to be less audible to pedestrians in urban areas. Such differences may impact on safety because pedestrians usually hear traffic approaching and take care to avoid any collision, which is more difficult if they do not hear electric vehicles.
This makes some sense. My car is just a hybrid but plenty of times I’ve had people just slowly walking in front of me in a parking lot. They can’t easily hear my car at that lower speed as far as I can tell. And full electric would be even quieter.
It’s interesting though. No easy solution is immediately coming to me, other than pedestrians getting more and more used to cars not making any sound.
100% I still find myself thinking about that one “types of fish” episode where there is somehow yelling the entire time. Insanity
I’m in the same boat, specifically looking at Toyota. I love my current Prius and plan to have my next car be full electric. It’d be an easy choice if Toyota had an affordable offering.
Which, I havent kept up with current all electric vehicles but it looks like Toyota has something now? Don’t know much about this bZ4X though. I’ll have to do a bit more research.
What a strange title. Immediately biases the reader before any actual information is given about the change
I’ve had my Roku disconnected from the Internet for a while now. I used to use an Amazon Fire stick, and currently use a Google chromecast
Definitely recommend looking while you still have a job like others have said. I will say, I’ve left one extremely toxic workplace in my life and I actually ended up making more money at a place that is better for my mental health. So it can definitely work out that way
