  • Officially they’re on hiatus. They originally said they were retiring the line, but then changed their tune and stated that the Bolt line will return after they can implement their new EV battery tech in them. I believe the statements have been imprecise about when that will be, but potentially sometime in 2025 (meaning the 2026 model). That’s assuming no delays or changes to the plan.

    If you want a new Bolt without waiting for the revived line, I’d think about acting soon. They’re moving really quickly in my area. I’m really happy with the EUV so far, but I’m still only at like 250 miles. I didn’t go for the Premier since I don’t care about adaptive cruise control or their “Super Cruise” self driving thing.

    Yeah, I’m very confused by this. Why do the users notifying IT have to do the training?

    I’ve worked a help desk before, while after dozens of people sending it in we don’t really need it forwarded anymore, people don’t know that until we get the I’d still rather people forward it than click it. Ignore and delete is best since I guarantee someone will forward it to IT, but forwarding (even forwarding and asking) is never bad and demonstrates good awareness.


  • I have a pipe dream of slowly developing a game of my own, but even if I think I could eventually figure out my own homebrew engine, the whole thing is operating on my free time so that’s even more unrealistic of a goal that’s either gonna lead nowhere or to massive headache down the line.

    So I looked around and liked a few things about Unity:

    • 2D game support
    • Easy publishing to consoles
    • Free to develop in while I test the waters
    • Plethora of training material available

    I’ve sunk a decent amount of time into training materials already, and was starting to feel good about the whole process when this news hit. Not even gonna question it, I’m looking elsewhere. Godot looking mighty tempting to avoid any shenanigans like this. Ultimately if my dream ever realizes I’d like to be able to publish to console, but there are routes available for that with Godot and maybe the options would improve by the time I reach that point.
