It’s a Luke warm take but this isn’t a problem. Plug in hybrids are not designed for long distance use even though they’re sold as a solution to range anxiety. Hauling an engine around and trying to run on battery as much as possible is dumb. Bite the bullet and get a full EV.
Three-quarters of UK’s popular plug-in hybrid cars unable to use rapid chargers
Breville Eye Q toaster review: a ‘revolutionary device’ that makes perfect toast without me trying - The Guardian apple.news/A-n8B-RvOQoa... I can’t help but think that @techconnectify.bsky.social has thoughts on this.
What the actual flight. Downloaded videos are not available, despite downloading them beforehand, while on a plane because the app thinks I’m in a country that I’m not allowed to view the content in. That country: USA. @paramountplus.com this sucks. And it’s a great way to alienate people.
Toyota veteran reveals his worst fear as EVs surge: The company's hydrogen bet may be a dead end. If only people had been saying this for years. apple.news/AYw21_I0sQoi...
Motorist stranded after bollards hoist £40k Audi - The Telegraph Let’s be clear. @worldbollardassoc.bsky.social will hoist any value car. Not just cheap Audis.
I did wonder when astrology and infosec would finally converge. Today will be a tumultuous day for Virgoans as their moon is rising indicating an increase in the likelihood of a DDoS attack.
Cybersecurity firm Trend Micro has announced a new cyber attribution framework and naming scheme for threat actors The new format is SHADOW-ELEMENT-NUMBER www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/us/sec...
Has anyone here ever successfully changed their email address? The verification logic seems to fall down - the click here link in the emails doesn't work and now I've tried to verify the address too many times. And @bsky.app support is not yet mature enough for me to trust they'll get it right.
Just watched the most passionate video from @techconnectify.bsky.social Please go watch it through to the real end. This is my position too.
Campaigners for Canadian English up in arms over Carney Government’s use of British English. “We demand the government randomly use American English or British English depending on what each computer is setup for as the Founding Fathers intended.”
How on earth does an organisation the size of @timhortonsofficial.bsky.social not have drive through menus that can hide items that are sold out or discontinued?
apple.news/Abw2D5UiHSQK... This will achieve nothing because we can hardly make out the manual announcements anyway.
I’m not sure that Doug Ford could make any more missteps if he tried. He’s wrong on Bike Lanes. Wrong on Speed Cameras. Wrong on Metrolinx. Wrong on Tunnels. And now he’s wrong on Trade Wars. He’s costing Canada not just Ontario and he needs to go. Now! apple.news/A3eu7dzRCRfi...

This man makes me want to move to New York.
UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
When the clock strikes 00:00 @viarailcanada.bsky.social assume that all the trains magically arrived on time. Why is it that I'm still on the 17:08 from Toronto to Montreal then? And now I can't see what the progress is without manually checking off stations against a timetable.
Why do so many people in Toronto seem drawn to trespassing on the tracks? East bound @viarailcanada.bsky.social service is disrupted right now.
