What car do you drive where charging stops are that long? My average Supercharging session in my base Model 3 is 9 minutes. That’s barely enough time to go pee and walk my dog.

I strongly prefer road-tripping my EV because the natural breaks mean I arrive more refreshed and less sore.

That sounds terrible, I’m sorry! I have to admit I liked not dreaming at all.

I hadn’t considered it might be quitting weed since I started an antidepressant around the same time and had been assuming it was that. It’s been a little over 5 weeks and I’m having awful nightmares every single night. Not interesting, just unpleasant and rooted in my various traumas.

Not ideal, but all the other positives of sobriety are worth it.

They are genuinely more reliable. Having more stalls does help for when there’s issues, but they have 99.96% uptime across the entire network. I’ve had to move stalls once in my almost 3 years of ownership.

They also have their own service people that travel to chargers to fix them, where Electrify America hires local electrical contractors that may not be experts on DC Fast Charging equipment.

Edit: ran some numbers and I’ve charged 109 times on Superchargers. One failed session. I live in the rural Midwest/South so it’s not like I’m in EV heaven either.

You’re not unlucky, in the U.S. any charger that isn’t made by Tesla is unreliable. It’s been getting worse over time, and the only real hope is that every manufacturer is switching to Tesla’s charge port (now called NACS) and getting access to their Superchargers.

I had a non-Tesla EV and eventually got a Tesla because I need to road trip regularly and can’t handle chargers being down.

Oh this will be nice, I loved having this on iOS. I used it for things like sign in codes from TV apps or whatever. Hopefully it works offline like voice does so I can continue using GBoard without network permissions.

Yeah, I get notifications on my phone every 5 minutes until I change the laundry, it’s been very helpful honestly.

It’s a lot better these days with the CameraX extensions. My Snapchat looks just as good as the native camera on my Pixel.

You can run any Linux application on them… Not a computer though.

Such a wonderful phone! The pop up camera is so nice for privacy. I got a new phone and gave it to a friend and they still daily drive it happily.

Ooh I’ll finally have to switch! One less app sucking up battery in the background 😍

LiFePO4 batteries like being charged up high, so you’re probably fine keeping them plugged in.

You’re right about not going under 20% often, but you’ll want to charge to 100% at least periodically to allow the cells to balance.

Edit: Please make sure you’re looking up information on Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries specifically, they behave differently from standard lithium batteries and a lot of the advice shared here won’t apply.

Nope! And yet they try to sell it as an open system lmao

They ship an outdated and unreliable implementation 😅 There are things that use it, but my understanding is you couldn’t use it in the same way you can on other platforms.

Apple: only implements a proprietary graphics API

Also Apple: Why does no one make games for my platform??

Yeah, I’ve heard this one is particularly bad. It’s broadly fine but it is definitely slower than the one in my old OnePlus 7 Pro.

I paid $250 for the phone refurbished so I have a hard time complaining too much.

Still disappointing that it isn’t using a proper IR illuminator. Apple’s Face ID is still better, and the DyNaMiC iSlAnD doesn’t take up that much space. I’ve adjusted to having a fingerprint sensor on my Pixel 6 Pro, but the thing is so much slower.

I set up a new HA install a couple months ago and didn’t write any YAML. It was kind of nice? The UI tools have come a long way and it discovered all my devices which had never happened before.

The thread you shared is worrying though, it’s the complete opposite of the spirit of FOSS. I should probably reconsider paying for their subscription at a minimum.

Good thing they immediately launched the product pages with comparisons and don’t force you to watch the keynote!

Yeah, digital task management or note taking has never worked well for me. It’s best if I write things down, then fill out Jira or whatever
