Inflation will start to increase as well as the federal reserve cuts rates. Housing will become more expensive as a result and rent will follow shortly after.

id argue that it's mostly a workload problem. I remember when I was in college there wasn't much time for leisurely reading.

Thinking about getting one, what did y'all think? Looking at the Zeros.

While I don't disagree, I'd prefer a law protecting consumer privacy regarding all digital data use but this law was never about protecting consumers. China is an aggressive adversarial state to the United States and its allies. From the perspective of national security it makes sense to limit what data an adversary has of your citizens.

You do you! It does look nicer when it's made though, and it makes the room feel cleaner. (IMO)

Crazy how vancded offers what premium used to be, makes no sense to buy a subscription if the paid version is a worse experience

I'd really love to see a US domestic drone product for consumers. Its kind of sad that there aren't any options when it comes to premade drones.

I'd read that!

Just to clarify, I didn't mean that electric engines weren't reliable. It was more of a combination of things I'd like to see in an EV. And I'm all down for all those other features too! I just would like a barebones option for us poors, you know? You can have different tiered options, and maybe getting rid of all the extra features can make for a reliable cheaper car. And in a barebones model, why would you need constant OS updates? Just have the engine tuned like other things in a car like electric fuel injection. Everything else should be like clockwork.

Touch screens are less intuitive and more distracting than simple buttons that you can use without taking your eyes off the road. And yes! Batteries degrade pretty quickly, I hear around 4 years! If a new battery costs the same of a brand new car then it doesn't make sense to buy EVs from a financial point of view.

Very true. I haven't been looking at the ICE market mostly because I drive an old car and probably will until it breaks. But that's also very frustrating.

Simple EV cars (lemmy.cafe)

Does anyone think that there'll ever be a simple EV car produced for market without all the extra junk found in most electric cars? Why or why not?

I don't see the need for the infotainment dash, personal data tracking, self-driving, lack of physical buttons, and lack or reparability.

Wouldn't it be nice to have an EV that is probably cheaper without all that forced extra stuff? Can't we just have a simple EV that has an electric engine that is reliable, cheaper, and doesn't have a need for constant software updates? Maybe you can work on it in your garage for the most part for simple maintenance.

I'd really like to have an EV one day but seems like they are all super expensive, have no sense of ownership like typical cars, are constantly tracking you, and are trying to shove extra features down your throat.
