Specifically Native American Alaskans (i.e. those with a tribal ID)

Alaska's healthcare system kinda works like that, but only for Alaska Natives.

I'm admittedly not much of a networking expert, but you might be able to improve your existing network by running Ethernet backhaul for your mesh network (assuming your access points support it).

Regarding whether you would benefit from a router like that: I've only got a 25Mbps connection, so my main use case for it is using ZeroTier to access various services on my local network, more advanced firewall controls, and the dual 2.5G Ethernet ports for connection between my main PC and home server.

I recently switched from my ISP's combo device to a GL-inet Flint 2 (https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt6000/);;) no complaints with it thus far, and I've enjoyed some of the quality of life features it's got built into it.

Fedora Server, with most of the services I need running via Docker.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Review: Why Buy Anything Else? in c/android@lemdro.id
[–] captainsiscold@kbin.social 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Unlocked, brand new direct from the Google Store. They emailed me a coupon code for being on the Google Assistant mailing list that gave me an extra $150 off, and it stacked with a $100 discount they were already running (so $250 off total). I'm a self-admitted headphone jack enthusiast, but the price was just too good to pass up.

Just got a Pixel 8 (256 GB) for $510 a few weeks ago. I'm good with that, thanks.

Looks like an interesting first entry; curious to see what people think of it once it hits the market.

I have to say, I was really impressed by how well the Pixel 7a did. At $400 now, that's a great (somewhat) cheap option for folks, though I do wish its battery life was a bit better...

I've got a Pixel 8 non-Pro on the way, so I'm excited to see how it performs compared to my old Galaxy S9 :P

Hyundai launching cheaper IONIQ 2 to sit below the IONIQ 5 – Here's what we know so far (electrek.co)
 

According to Hyundai Europe’s VP of marketing, Andreas-Christoph Hofmann, the brand is developing a cheaper IONIQ 2 electric car. Hofmann broke the news this summer following rival Volkswagen unveiling its ID 2all concept. The VW ID 2all will start at around €25,000 ($27,000) with up to 450 km (279 mi) range. It’s expected to go into production in 2025.

Hyundai is aiming for a similar price for the upcoming IONIQ 2. Hofmann told Automotive News, “Everybody in the industry knows the target of this kind of vehicle is 20,000 euros.”

The new EV is expected to have at least 250 miles range. It will be a part of Hyundai’s next-gen IMA platform revealed during its 2023 investor day. Hyundai says the IMA “is a significant advancement” over its current (E-GMP) platform that will help reduce costs.

I'd love to see something like this show up in the US, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Trying Linux gaming & never looking back. Proton is amazing. in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

Welcome to the club!

The only game I can’t play is rocket league.

Have you tried it on Heroic Games Launcher yet? I play RL from time to time with a buddy, and both of us have gotten it to work without any notable issues via Heroic.

Firefox Is Going To Try And Ship With Wayland Enabled By Default in c/foss@beehaw.org

I really hope they fix the issue with the picture-in-picture video not staying over top of all other windows; that's the only thing keeping me from using Wayland Firefox right now.

Google Keep is replacing Assistant Notes and 'Shopping List' in c/android@lemdro.id

You might be on to something there; I'll have to give that a look!

Yeah, that seems to be a common theme. Creating timers from Assistant still works fine, but anything with Assistant that has to go through Tasks is basically broken :(
