Downvoters are Alphabet stock holders and those that love only 2 updates a year.

I think they all started doing it (2:1 aspect ratio) around 2017

Next step, make it transparent

So why 100 km and not some other arbitrary number?

These videos were what convinced me that I could work on and replace parts from my Bolt EUV with relative ease and maybe an extra set of hands to handle heavier parts.

If they are so dead set on Gemini being the future, open source assistant.

No, you can pay for support like from RedHat on their enterprise workstation Linux. I would only recommend if downtime on that laptop would be more detrimental than the amount you pay for support. Otherwise self help and a bit of google-fu would usually be all you need to do any troubleshooting.

So I guess your solution depends on how much you want to spend and how you value your time.

Why? I would prefer to buy parts from a known good supplier say for instance Timken and their bearings. I find their quality just as good and long lasting as OEM if not better.

Not to be pedantic, but the more accurate term would be source available. If you aren’t allowed to modify or distribute the code yourself, it isn’t open. I’m not saying it’s bad, just not open.

I always felt like that Steve just has a massive hate boner for Linus after the first call out video which seemed like a really small reason to go stirring up drama to begin with. Linus made changes then Steve went after Linus again for not working with Honey anymore just because LTT found out that Honey were slimy shitheads? I unsubbed from GN just for that. Steve was better off sticking to hardware and software, and their manufacturers and devs, not stirring up internet/YouTube drama.

Don’t forget the fake product listings

It’s the main feature I look for in a new phone, that and in the case of Linux, driver support. It’s time we demand this support from the manufacturers.

Unlocked bootloader or Linux capable?

Unlocked bootloader or Linux capable?

I wouldn’t be surprised if they internally called it that

My piling on is also a complaint about the release schedule. It’s why I’m considering a phone that can run a different Linux flavor. That and I’m already de-googling.

Does nearly 2 months sound better? How about 17% of a year?

Yeah, that’s kind of my joke when I describe driving it to my gas car friends. Still want them on my cars though for emergency quick stops. Met a deer on a blind hill earlier this year and had to come to a stop in a short distance. Otherwise yeah, regen braking for everything else and test the mechanical brakes once per trip to ensure they work.

I’m keeping an eye on the electric conversion kit coming soon™️ from Edison Motors or at least get a parts list to buy everything piecemeal. Keeping your 2007 and converting when the transmission, axles, or engine goes out is a real possibility. Hell, even selling those parts to offset could be an idea as well.

The thing that converted me was a video that floated around the internet pre-YouTube where a guy did an EV conversion of a Volkswagen Super Beetle using lead acid batteries and a jet engine starter for a motor. It absolutely smoked a Corvette on the drag strip. My original plan was to get an old S-10 or Ranger and convert it. Building a battery box would be easy since they still had frame rails then it would just be a matter of getting the voltages right with wiring and a controller to map controls and slapping an electric motor at the end of an axle. Obviously it’s a bit more nuanced, but it’s a dead simple application all around.
