DekuDeals is where you'll want to do that. Lets you get alerts about price drops too from places other than the eShop.

Will be interesting to see how this goes in a year or two.

I’m super interested to see how companies handle this when employees work with confidential data all the time.

What reputation? The company never had one in the first place.

It still blows my mind that Toyota single-handedly made hybrids a very successful thing and yet squandered that position to Elon effing Musk. Toyota could’ve been THE market-leader for EVs while still making a killing with the Prius and ICE cars. They’d have a solid lock in all markets.

Toyota has one of the best reliability reputations of any automaker and yet anyone in the EV market (like I was recently) passes them over because they have zero models to sell. Instead of parlaying the Prius’ R&D into a viable EV too, they’ve left money on the table. Hyundai has gone all in and is selling a ton of EVs. I see more of theirs / Kia’s on the road than anything else (besides teslas).

Replacing the battery at 100k miles as scheduled maintenance solves that problem. I had to change my Prius’ hybrid battery at 150k. Toyota can build a 200k mile reliable car and if the fuel source isn’t up to that standard, make it easily serviceable so it is part of routine scheduled maintenance.

The fact that every automaker except them and Honda have put out compelling and competitive EVs says a lot. I love Toyotas and strongly would’ve bought another. But my readiness to go electric didn’t line up with the 15 years Toyota has squandered to have something to sell me.

Maybe when I’m ready for another car in the next decade they’ll be ready. Until then, they lost out on my business by no fault of my own. I’m not buying another gas car.

Toyota has literally ceded their entire hybrid advantage by doing jack shit when it comes to EVs. If they’d even created a new line of EVs while keeping their ICE legends like the Corolla and Camry for now, they’d get the best of both worlds.

Toyota’s are legendary for their reliability and they’ve earned that. By having not a single EV to offer, they’re losing a ton of business. I know I certainly would’ve bought one of theirs but had to go elsewhere.

You’re the true hero.

Once Apple overhauled Notes a few years ago AND offered a way to import from Evernote, I never looked back. For anyone in Apple’s ecosystem Notes is one of the best (and completely free or cheap on any iCloud+ plan).

How did you get it to connect to your Pi? I’m hitting a lot of issues on that.

I’m running homepage in Docker and my pi is another machine on my network. But the container doesn’t see the Pi at all. Can you provide any insight?

As a leftie who’s been on the beta, I sincerely appreciate the upvote / downvote arrows being on the left!!

I'm working to get a Lemmy instance spun up in Docker. I'm using the official docker-compose listed in the git repository. But when I bring the whole thing up, the Lemmy container keeps restarting. The other containers are fine.

The error I'm getting is:

thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to load settings file, see documentation (https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/configuration.html): LemmyError { message: None, inner: Is a directory (os error 21), context: SpanTrace [] }', crates/utils/src/settings/mod.rs:20:20

Any help on how I can resolve this would be great. Thank you!

Tell me you know nothing about building software without telling me you know nothing about building software.
