    Toyota is right about EVs after all...

    This is actually part of my next dilemma. Car can only accept 32A. So L2 will be turned down and effectively 2x faster than L1. Cost-$500 ish minus maybe 250 in rebates. This will make it a bit more useful (such as plugging in during day)and slowly save a few bucks. Will also make some...

    Toyota is right about EVs after all...

    Need… not need. But I’d like to have a wall charger. Supplied cable is 1. Too short, and 2. Pita. If I’m going to do a wall charger, L2 part is not adding all that much money or complexity . Esp with rebates. It’ll also add value for next house owner rather than annoyance if they have a say...

    Toyota is right about EVs after all...

    So, world data manufacturing vs US sales. Not really same fruit. and only for a single manufacturer that is quickly losing market share. Most of the other manufacturers are scaling back their ev strategies. Regardless, however you want to frame it, there is a significant slow down in(growth...

    Toyota is right about EVs after all...

    Here is another data point: Toyota sold 657K electrified vehicles(that's pretty much all hybrids or phev) in 2023. It's 29% of their sales. Their sales are on the rise HEV/PHEV are growing at similar or higher rate to EV btw for 2022-2023 period and more than double the sales of EV

    Toyota is right about EVs after all...

    Note "as prices" example in your supplied definition. Tesla has quite dramatically slashed it's prices. This is pretty much why they are selling. They are still profitable. The others can't do it. They were losing money before, and slashing priced would only make things worse. At this...

    My 5yo loves the sliding door. LOVES it. It’s his favorite thing in the world now If my electric rate was $.02, everything would be electrified

    Toyota is right about EVs after all...

    Just to be perfectly clear. I’m not against EVs. I’d seriously considered Tesla back in 2013. I’ve had a deposit on an EV. I think they work for many people with specific situations in use, costs, housing. But I think I’m a lot more average in such situations and I would never recoup cost of EV

    Toyota is right about EVs after all...

    I don't think hydrogen solution will ever work, but that's not what i was referring to. Toyota was(although they are changing strategy now a bit) on record stating that EVs do not make sense and Hybrids are far better for most consumers...

    Toyota is right about EVs after all...

    So I finally did it and got a PHEV(Chrysler Pacifica). Didn't start out looking for one, but with fed tax credits it was cheaper than equivalent gas car I was looking for. Used. A few observations. I like the car. Pretty economical compared to gas car. Being an FCA product(my first), I'm...

    Recording broadcast TV [NA]

    The reason you need internet and "service" with Tivo is for the guide. Makes live a lot easier. You can create manual scheduled recording with Tivo, but it just a lot simpler to do with functional guide. I'm pretty sure you can use and record with Tivo without service if you really want to go...

    Recording broadcast TV [NA]

    TiVo. Before you say service, they have(or at least had)a lifetime(of the box) one time fee service option. I paid for mine some 7 years ago and haven’t paid a penny since. Box and service was less than the last vcr I bought :). Also. Look into Plex(free). There is a way to record live tv with...

    of course it’s made in china, but that’s not an excuse for national airspace museum to order/sell it like that

    Took my kid to Smithsonian Airspace museum. Bought him a toy Apache helicopter at the gift shop. Notice anything?

    This explains something :)?

    Well. The difference here is that brown is a shade of orange, so it does have a wavelength (orange) at lower intensity. Magenta is purely made up. Is it the only one ? I don’t know. A BBC video said so. Here is an interesting cultural color difference. Russians have 7 colors in a rainbow...

    This explains something :)?

    I feel like there is a GPS joke somewhere here, but I can’t come up with it: Magenta color does not exist. Every color we see exists in the visible light spectrum except magenta. Our brain makes it up. https://medium.com/swlh/magenta-the-color-that-doesnt-exist-and-why-ec40a6348256

    the Turbo 182 is back in production

    They are thinking 2023 at whatever the that crazy price was is already sold out. We can increase the prices. Also, this is not even close to a new SR-22 territory. And good luck getting an SR22 in 18 months

    The FAA has been infected...

    Sometimes it's a pain with the genders in languages. I know my male dog is always offended. Russian has 3 noun genders. Common noun for a dog is female gender. There is actually a different word for a male dog, but it's not commonly used. So my family constantly calls my dog a "she".

    Router with VPN

    Most of what needed to be covered has been. But I'll add something. I understand that you want this to be a seamless integration for your Roku. I don't know anything about Roku. However, many VPN clients have Android apps that can be installed on just about anything "smart" that can be...
