YouTube, but yes it’s insanely popular and an excellent value.

None of you were. Y’all were stealing it for years.

I love PHEVs, but not for saving money.

If you’re spending that much in gas at 30 mpg at $3.16 then you’re driving 22,000 miles a year. Almost double the national average.

You’ve also likely spent at least $6k on an engine, but typically it’ll be at least 10k more expensive than the base model. For most people, in most cases, you buy the PHEVs because you get a great around town experience, without the charging fears, and usually better power overall.

Maybe there is a specific model you’re thinking of where the economics are better but you really need to be driving a lot of miles and own the vehicle a long time before you are saving money. If you’re doing 40 miles a day 300 days a year you’re talking a 6 year payoff in a highly charitable situation where the PHEV is 7k more than the base, and the base is only 30mpg. I’m not even sure that exists in the US.

I’m not sure what any of this has to do with the slate. Is there a 27k comparable PHEV truck?

I don’t think a $1000 delta in maintenance costs over the first 5 years is a big a driver for the general public as you think it is. You’re not the target audience very few purchasing decisions are based on privacy.

It was a decent idea when the EV credit applied. But I’d be happy to betb a few hundred dollars the average new car buyer with that purchasing power and who is actually shopping for a vehicle will see the value. Especially not in the US where it’s sold. Gas is cheap.

And? It comes with everything you’d expect from a ‘normal’ vehicle before you load up on your slate for several thousand dollars. You also get towing up to 8500lbs.

What’s the value proposition here? I only see this being successful in area where you MUST own an EV and even then it’s a hard sell without the tax credits.

It’s DoA. At 20, they kinda make sense. At 27 without the EV credit you could be buying a maverick.

You think manually copying and pasting recipes in is easier than mealie? Okay.

You already need a 3080 to even approach modern 4k and unless some new media/disk format, it just ain’t going to happen and isn’t worth it.

There isn’t one and this place will gas light you.

Those recommending bazzite, the new hotness, are ignoring a host of issues that typical users, especially Nvidia owners will run into.

You have 2 ways to go. Deal with windows being annoying, or get good enough with Linux desktop to understand and fix all the shit.

Bazzite is probably the way to go if you want to learn it and are comfortable running containers to get the apps you need. Flatpack is still garbage.

Several portions of NGinx/Apache. Doesn’t matter, I’m going to apply at Burger King.

Purity test on Lemmy? Not left enough? Mild shock!

If you’re going to toss names around and call me an idiot 🤷‍♂️

I’m highly paid to write efficient code, that gets validated as efficient and good by virtue of acceptance to highly used and reviewed projects, and I’m being screeched at by someone to work at burgers king by someone whose never touched an HA proxy aside from setting up an NGinx node (again, to which I contribute).

What do you expect here? I’m going to fix my GitHub to fight with some random here on Lemmy? No, I’m going to tell them they are a moron and move on.

Is your expectation I write a long credentialed response every tme someone out of their league starts tossing insults? I have a differing opinion so I’m at the level of hamburger flipping?

Oh man, delicious.

I write tf, NGinx, and a bunch of other shit in the cncf space. I’m a 2%er. I’m better than you. You use my code every day.

🤣 my AI vibe code is better than most juniors with less than 2 years. That number is only going up. The biggest challenge is making sure code is organized within the framework and organizations best practice and standards. iE senior dev shit.

It’s literally your job as a senior to review code not up to your standard. So many devs screeching they have to review code at that quality while simultaneously being paid in the top 5% 🤣
