FML. Got a CM4 to replace a dead one, tightened a screw too far and broke the new one.

It lasted less than 20 minutes.

"XiP is also affordable, with printing packages starting at $6995"

Dear reviewers.. I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Correct! Welcome aboard

the #emfcamp swap shop has new policies

Sign in the swap shop that says "no orphaned sourced. do not leave radioactives unattended. do not supply the spider nuclear program. it has been 1 days since the furry nuclear program was dispatched"

@glowl @gsuberland @littlescraps Yes, and there are little graphical maps of the radiation levels across the entire site :p

This is a remarkable graph.

You might have heard that "EV sales are slumping", "people are starting to avoid EVs", etc.

That's not what's happening.

What's happening is "Tesla is cratering so hard that it's skewing the aggregate market data."

tony,
@tony@hoyle.me.uk avatar

@mhoye GM are doing a worse.. but yes on average the market is healthy.

Absolute numbers aren't much use when Tesla sells 6 times the number of EVs as everyone else.

To be clear: I don't have any sympathy for the Tories...

but the key problem they have (like any government after a decade & a half in power), is when, for instance they say they are going to clamp down on tax avoidance, its not unreasonable to ask, well if you are going to do it now why haven't you done it sometime in the previous fifteen years.....

And, its pretty difficult to campaign on a dreadful recent record, while saying well, now we can rectify this often noted problem.

tony,
@tony@hoyle.me.uk avatar

@ChrisMayLA6 The existing government is supposed to campaign on 'look how great things are, if you vote for the other guy they'll ruin it'.

The tories can't do that, they'd be laughed out of the room.

Ok. So. First post on Mastadon so bear with me…first time at , also first time camping with a 6 year old… I’ve read the info on the site, can anyone weigh in with random one-liner bits of advice? It may also be helpful other emf newbies?

If it's the same as a Tesla yes, but it won't be sriveable during the update.

However you choose when the update starts, and starting an update that can take 45 minutes just before you're due in court is bloody stupid.

Went to everything electric north. Good points.. lots of smaller 'compact' EVs coming out. Bad.. they want to charge as much as an SUV for them. That has to change.

I tried a 'posh*' ebike on a demo ring and it had almost the same problem that my cheap(ish) one has.. the moment you start pedalling the motor takes over and you're effectively on a motorbike without any padding and a weedy helmet. It scared me so much I had to go for a sit down afterwards..

When you have access to a bidet, do you use it?

#EvanPoll #poll

tony,
@tony@hoyle.me.uk avatar

@evan We added one during lockdown because they were supposed to be 'better' than using toilet paper (and toilet paper was scarce due to panic buying).

Found that cold water squirted up your arse is horrifically unpleasant, doesn't clean anything, and you need toilet paper anyway to dry off.

Anyone here have a #Windows PC which has a virus scanner?

I'm trying to download an .exe to see if it will run on WINE. But Firefox is saying it has a virus.

Would one of you kind souls be happy to download a file and scan it to see if it is safe?

@Edent Have you tried virustotal? You can just give that the URL.
