10·4 months agoI feel like the people who think of steam as a small/indie company have that impression because it’s not public and is shockingly uncontroversial for a company its size (at least in terms of revenue).
Yes!! This is the way. It’s so nice to have a ton of matching socks and not running out of clean ones frequently. I do the same with underwear and have found that I end up having to do laundry way less frequently using this strat
Yep not to mention flying (renting a plane and paying for fuel is very expensive too)
I think this argument is kind of a misconception. Just because an EV drivetrain has fewer moving parts than an ICE doesn’t necessarily mean it’s more reliable. There is a decent AP article from November 2023 that touches on this and suggests that EVs are actually far more unreliable than traditional ICE vehicles. I would link it but I can’t figure out how to remove all the tracking junk from the URL.
Regardless I really like the idea of one day owning an EV so I hope most of these issues will be worked out as the technology matures.
Because they are relatively new in the automotive world. I can take my '08 CRV to just about any auto parts store in America and get just about any part I need (or take it to about any third party repair shop with the same results). Good luck doing that with most EVs especially Teslas. Tesla is the most egregious example as they are anti right to repair and have seemed to take a page out of Apple’s book as far as locking down their supply chain for parts.
Hopefully this will get better with time as third party shops have time to acclimate themselves and their technicians to EV architecture, and EV-specific parts become more available. Though the latter I feel is highly dependent on manufacturers not trying to turn EVs into phones in terms of repairability/serviceability.
In the meantime, as an average Joe without a lot of money, I really like the idea of keeping my relatively low cost older ICE vehicles because if shit hits the fan, if I can’t fix it relatively cheaply, there will likely be multiple shops that can without it costing me an arm and a leg and/or taking weeks or months to wait on the manufacturer to supply the parts needed.
Repairability is a big one for reasons not to get a new ev for me

I had been having a hard time getting motivated to play anything new over the last few months then saw a post about Dave the diver here on lemmy. Decided to try it out and it was just such a nice experience. Now I’m feeling a lot more motivated to try new games, mostly smaller indie-ish stuff.
Cheers
6·6 months agoThis sounds like an interesting story? Any additional details?
Exactly. JFC how nasty are the asses these people encounter? Wash your asses!
Me neither and I’m an American
It really has a distinct sting, doesn’t it? Cheers to dealing with it and moving on I suppose.

I’ve always known the advertised space is larger than the actual space, but it was never quite the shock as it was when I recently bought an 18TB external drive with ~16 TB usable.
This is reductive
