INVEST IN RENEWABLE ENERGY AND OVERTHROW THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS
“…well that can’t be right.”
Yeah I don’t know why the article mentions Gen Z’s “tech-savvy reputation”. Being able to operate a cell phone doesn’t make you tech savvy.
Gen X and Millennials grew up using command line and troubleshooting computer problems before the Internet. Their tech skills are way higher than Gen Z.
My mesh network actually allows me to set devices as priority. I guess I’ve never tried it out and am too lazy to go start pulling cables.
I could, but I like having the router network as an option to connect to. I know the point of a mesh network is to improve WiFi connectivity overall, but every once in a while it will get a bit laggy when streaming a video. Probably because I’ve got like 90 some devices connected to it. I like having the option to switch my phone to the router network and go upstream of all the other stuff.
Honestly I don’t remember. I had a gen 1 Chromecast as well and I think it was just a Chromecast app. Now it’s all integrated with Google Home.
Edit: I tried googling it and under the Wikipedia page description it showed the following. But what’s funny is if you go to the Wikipedia page, that text is no longer there.
Originally called simply “Chromecast”, the app was released concurrently with the original Chromecast video model …
I personally have a Comcast router/modem with its own network. I have a network switch that I plug into the router that I use for hard coded stuff. Mostly my PC and a couple other things that I want to run fast instead of convenient. Then I have a WiFi mesh network that I run for most of my other devices, including my phone.
So for my Chromecast, if I want to stream from my phone on the mesh network, I have it on one network. But if I want to stream from my PC, I have it on another network. While with most devices, changing the network you’re connected to is simple, it’s a massive pain in the ass with a Chromecast.
Also they made it reliant on the Google Home app, which makes it really hard to change WiFi networks. It’s a pain in the ass if you have multiple WiFi networks setup at your house.
That’ll be $200
I’ve found the current gen of EVs is perfect for road tripping with my family. The battery range is perfectly sized for the bladder sizes of my kids. It works really well if you’re road tripping at a casual pace. However I know a lot of people that like to “death march” road trip where they won’t stop for 500 miles at a time - so I admit it’s definitely not for everyone.
I’m still convinced Toyota is just announcing breakthroughs miracles in battery tech Coming Soon™ because they shit the bed so hard on the first round of EVs. Now they’re trying to discourage people from buying EVs now while they play catch-up.
And thus the problem with every make company and AI right now.
Best I can do is $200 for a link to the gif.
Yeah, recently I’ve started paying attention to what other drivers are doing while stopped at intersections. The amount of people using their cell phones behind the wheel astonishes me.
Yeah I can’t help think the design and calling it a pin is all just a trick to scan people who don’t know what an NFT is.
Too late. I downloaded this one. Take me to NFT jail.
players are able to claim an “officially licensed, commemorative Paris 2024 NFT Digital Pin.”
Oh sweet an official Olympics digital pin that I can pay real money for and no one else can just view for free whenever they want! Oh wait… Here’s one someone paid $200 for.
Why buy a Hyundai with 300 mile range? Because it’s available today.
Exactly.
I was responding to the comment that said “But now it’s actually being produced and put into products.”
Toyota is notorious for putting out FUD when it comes to EVs. They bet on hydrogen and missed the boat with EVs - and it shows. To prevent people from buying EVs from their competitors, they’ve been promoting new miracle battery tech for a while now. Why buy a Hyundai with 300 miles of range when a Toyota with 600 miles of range is just around the corner?
The fact of the matter is they’re not producing these batteries right now in a car that you or I can buy. When the top comment joked about new battery tech being out, it’s because there’s a new article about this every other day. Toyota doesn’t want you to buy an EV right now, so expect articles like this for years to come.
Hmm the only Lexus EVs I see sold around me only have 220 miles of range.
Didn’t they actually have people in robot costumes previously though?
