Compare something like an MG4.. £27k, so about $33k. Model 3 base model is £39k, so $48k.

US Tesla price is subsidised like crazy..

That's been evident for years. Like the 3 that when it was released hadn't been tested in rain so when you opened the back door all water poured into the car...

Camera fogging has been an issue since at least 2019.. Tesla forums usually have threads from new owners surprised by this each year..

It was 100% predictable that 'vision only' would fail in these circumstances.

We have alot of rules wrt. ventilation for gas appliances in the EU. Gas boilers for example have to vent outside away from doorways.. I'm not sure if gas cookers need hoods these days or extractor fans are enough.

Edit: Ahh no, just venting.. you must have an openable outside door or window, or equivalent ventilation.

If it's fun, it's not overkill!

You also have experience you can use in the workplace (even if it's mostly experience of what happens if you f**k things up).

In theory an ad blocker could retrieve the ads in the background and simply not display them.. I'm not sure any actually do currently, but if advertisers are silly enough to pay simply through network traffic it's an option.

Hmm..

"last month saw a record number of ad blockers uninstalled—and also a record for new ad blocker installs"

So.. they simply switched to UBlock Origin?

So now you have to do that every time you install a flatpak.

Or just stick to a normal package manager, that does all that for you.

Used it once.. it's as annoying as shit since you can't just run apps you have to type 'flatpack run org.mozilla.firefox' instead of just typing 'firefox' (and I had to google that because I just can't remember the sequence). Also for some reason it's slow.. as you mentioned a 1 second delay before anything works. I can't see myself using it again.

I can't see the value in using youtube for music.. it's not like I can watch music videos in my car. That's worth $0 to me, and I imagine the majority. Spotify is better.. or apple music if you're on the fruit side.

Yeah, no.. it's already overpriced.

Paramount + £6.99 Netflix £10.99 (standard) Youtube £12

Makes no sense.. they don't have anything like the production overheads. Stuff like Star Trek and Stranger Things are expensive. '10 greatest cat videos' is not.
