if this weighed 1.7 lbs, i’d buy it today. still waiting for a successor to the 12” macbook.

Yet somehow adaptive cruise is a rarity on the BMWs out there, often requiring an option package that few dealers spec. (Though I think this may be finally starting to change with the 2025 model year).

That's just because literally everything is an optional add-on on a BMW.

So many BMWs out there on the road without the indicators package because the owner cheaped out when buying it.

I didn't even know that was an option, never seen one that had it fitted.

My understanding is that the hardware is always installed but the dealer will not fill the liquid reservoirs unless the customer specifically requests (and pays) for it.

These days it's a software unlock.

Sadly, they’re close to 100% caught up to automatic transmissions in North America.

Are you advocating for manual transmissions?

In european cars for sure. They don'tilike autos there so they are an afterthought.

though it also means nobody will steal my truck in the us as who can drive it?

Are they switching to monthly subscriptions?

speaking of social media with constraints, Minus (100 posts for life) is still around at https://minus.social

An hour is much more than I can do. I want to play in VR, but every time I try again I regret it. And it only takes about 15 minutes for the pain to start (and a couple days at least to subside). I really truly love playing Beat Saber, but I just can't ever let myself do it again (until and unless headsets get dramatically lighter).

Should be paired with the OG Doomscroller: https://endlessdoomscroller.com

HN title should note this article is from 2021.

A simplified version that leaves in place the few bits needed to get a quick sense of it (h/t @doctorow)

won’t watch it with ads. can’t imagine handing over more cash than i already do to amazon. so, guess i’ll just have to focus on the other many channels i subscribe to.

More pertinently than that, it's a quick win for a kids show, ads when young kids are involved increase friction so much it's not worth it.

this argument is long past its prime. hamburger menus are here. they have been here. and they aren’t going anywhere. could it have been better? probably. could it be still? maybe. will it change today? no.

I just checked and my account shows posts and replies from 2002-2014. 2014 is about 2 years after I bought my last non-smartphone camera (I bought a Panasonic GH2 in 2011 or 2012). As much as I love high-quality photography, I've been able to make do with my iPhone ever since.

So in that sense it's not surprising to see dpreview go away, as I am likely similar to many others in my changing habits. But I really hate that it's going offline. So much knowledge is captured in those forums -- not just specs and tech but technique and ideas. What a shame. Wish it was staying up but dormant.
