Being a backer for the original GPD WIN, it is pretty disappointing to see they have ditched the clamshell design. I thought it was a decent design that could be refined down to a pocketable size, but I guess that will never happen now that its just copying the Steam Deck’s PSP form factor.
Probably because they don’t sell very well. At least, they don’t at the dealers I have worked at in South California. Which is like, EV capitol of the world.
Hyundai/Kia, Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler, Jaguar, Land Rover, etc, all couldn’t hit their sales marks on EVs consistently each month, so they inventoried less of them and they usually sat until they were a year or two old and they got discounted. Unless its a Tesla, people just aren’t buying EVs in the volume necessary to justify the dealers liking them. Plus, working on them requires extra safety equipment and training, which costs more money but the manufacturer does not pay or reimburse for any of that.
That’s a ute. You can only get them in Australia, AFAIK.
Treat the barrel of a gun like it has an infinite length death laser pointing out of it at all times.
No, it doesn’t matter if you just unloaded it, or saw someone else unload it. The barrel stays pointing down range and away from people.
No, you shouldn’t.
Don’t take medical advice from anyone that isn’t your doctor.
I mean, generally sales go up when prices are low during a bad economic slump, yeah.
Although personally, having seen Stellantis’ recent offerings, I won’t be rushing to buy one nor would I recommend one. But if its all you can afford and fits your needs, at least some models look kinda cool.
Looks like a Yugo Florida Poly:
Also, the comparison linked is quite humorous, comparing a compact utility vehicle, to a mid-size pickup truck and a Land Rover.
I am curious how much of their growth is attributed to cheaters creating infinite accounts to claim free games so if they get banned on one account they just switch to another one.
Dead By Daylight has this problem where the game was free for like a week on Epic games, and if you play with a cheater in the game (pretty common because the anticheat is nonexistent), its almost always from an Epic account with some random character username.
Interested to know how they are sourcing their DRAM chips, and if they know that pricing something high in a bad global economy and a shortage of supply is an easy way to kill early adoption of something.
I’d rather get whatever the newest/best I can afford when I need to upgrade. The 1080 Ti is tired but it still works well, so I don’t feel enough pressure to spend the money yet. Ive been looking at the 5070 Ti, but the price is still too high having only just dropped to MSRP in my area.
Also, I never trust second-hand GPUs like I never trust second-hand hard drives. Too much money in it for someone to lie about the condition, or whether they smoke or not, etc. Less hassle when I buy new, especially if I need to RMA, even if it is a higher initial cost.
I’d love to have an RTX card if they weren’t so overpriced. My 1080 Ti is getting tired of skipping upgrade year due to absurd overpricing.
According to JD Power?
Also, this is based on 3 years of ownership, but I see no mention of how they controlled how much people abused the cars. Someone driving a car like a racecar and someone driving a car like a grandma are going to have very different scores for reliability. Unless this is only based on warranty claims that were verified to be caused by manufacturer defect and not by any outside factor.
Yeah, I don’t think the mods removed the last one by accident.
Not only is this wrong, it is harmful. This is not something anyone “should know,” and infact everyone should know the opposite.
Medicine is real, and when taken properly, is good for you. Medicine is designed to help your body with functions it may be deficient at, either temporarily or permanently, or in some cases to stop your body from being too proficient at something to the point it could lead to harm. Refusing medicine without reasonable grounds, such as religious beliefs or allergies, goes beyone ignorance into negligence.
Sincerely, an American that hates having to see doctors and take medicine. I may hate it, but I still recognize its benefit and value.
First time on Lemmy? Lol
Wait… I thought FIFA was in bed with the Saudis… Do the Saudis that control FIFA hate the Saudis that just bought EA??
I see last month they made an extension to cover certain models from 2024 because they currently had ~2600 warranty claims that they felt could have been potentially related, so they basically extended the recall in order to include those as well, and maybe any they missed.
The extension means that Tundras built between Late Dec 2022 - Mid Feb 2024 are included in the recall.
Regardless, Toyota did issue a recall and any customer given a new engine does not have to pay for it. They are standing behind their product, and admitting there was an issue and correcting it.
AFAIK, the new Tundra engines had issues, but they were corrected last year.
How very convenient to keep prices up. Very convenient.
Well, putting together a trailer with Aerosmith or Beatles music playing over it isn’t helping the ballooning “development costs” either.
Neither is studios overhiring and then figuring out you can’t just hire 500 people and then not let them go. Game studios have become bloated. Overstaffed. And so have their games.
They just can’t understand not every game needs to be a 150GB+ open world game, or have the latest realistic graphics. Small games are okay, good even.
Imagine how much more detailed a game could be from a AAA studios if it launched with highly stylized retro inspired graphics. They will never do this of course, but just imagine it. Imagine how much more there could be, with way less time and money being required to do it. A single barrel that might take an artist a whole day to make could easily mean multiple variants of barrel in the same time. They could drop a 20GB game that feels like a 200GB game, and do it in like 6-12 months.
It would be so easy to split their already massive studios into like 20 smaller teams of 50 or less people to work on these kinds of smaller games and they could pump them out quickly. Just flood the market with these highly concentrated titles. But they won’t, because its easier to convince a shareholder to make billions from a single game that looks really good visually but plays like trash with MTX for short term profit than it is to convince them to play the long game and make trillions with the volume of smaller games sales and the massively reduced development costs.
Its all about short term profit these days, and its why all the businesses in the world seem to be racing each other to the bottom. Because why play the long game.when you might be dead before you hit the jackpot? Nevermind that you can’t take any of it with you to the grave.
The real problem is trying to find one that hasn’t been destroyed and turned into a fake Ferrari.
