What car do you drive where charging stops are that long? My average Supercharging session in my base Model 3 is 9 minutes. That’s barely enough time to go pee and walk my dog.

I strongly prefer road-tripping my EV because the natural breaks mean I arrive more refreshed and less sore.

They are genuinely more reliable. Having more stalls does help for when there’s issues, but they have 99.96% uptime across the entire network. I’ve had to move stalls once in my almost 3 years of ownership.

They also have their own service people that travel to chargers to fix them, where Electrify America hires local electrical contractors that may not be experts on DC Fast Charging equipment.

Edit: ran some numbers and I’ve charged 109 times on Superchargers. One failed session. I live in the rural Midwest/South so it’s not like I’m in EV heaven either.

You’re not unlucky, in the U.S. any charger that isn’t made by Tesla is unreliable. It’s been getting worse over time, and the only real hope is that every manufacturer is switching to Tesla’s charge port (now called NACS) and getting access to their Superchargers.

I had a non-Tesla EV and eventually got a Tesla because I need to road trip regularly and can’t handle chargers being down.

oh thank god I have been dying without night light

Ooh I’ll finally have to switch! One less app sucking up battery in the background 😍

LiFePO4 batteries like being charged up high, so you’re probably fine keeping them plugged in.

You’re right about not going under 20% often, but you’ll want to charge to 100% at least periodically to allow the cells to balance.

Edit: Please make sure you’re looking up information on Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries specifically, they behave differently from standard lithium batteries and a lot of the advice shared here won’t apply.

Hmm if only there were something other than a massive tower that caused environmental issues and a single family home 🤔

Nope! And yet they try to sell it as an open system lmao

They ship an outdated and unreliable implementation 😅 There are things that use it, but my understanding is you couldn’t use it in the same way you can on other platforms.

Apple: only implements a proprietary graphics API

Also Apple: Why does no one make games for my platform??

I set up a new HA install a couple months ago and didn’t write any YAML. It was kind of nice? The UI tools have come a long way and it discovered all my devices which had never happened before.

The thread you shared is worrying though, it’s the complete opposite of the spirit of FOSS. I should probably reconsider paying for their subscription at a minimum.

Yeah, digital task management or note taking has never worked well for me. It’s best if I write things down, then fill out Jira or whatever

Oh thank god, this is the first I’ve heard of them working on GAMMA_LUT support. I’ve been dying without night light.

Have you considered just using the user’s browser font via sans-serif?

I did this on my website some time ago and honestly feels like it is the best way. You’re repecting the user’s wishes if they have a custom typeface specified, and the defaults on most OS’ are good these days otherwise.

Plus, you save some network requests and page size.

Because they’re phenomenal vehicles? And if you live in the US they have the only charging network you can actually rely on.

I’m driving 600 miles today in mine. No problem.

Because three credit unions chose to sue Apple about it? Read the article.

Banks also have the option of offering their own NFC products on Android, not that many do anymore. Apple doesn’t allow real access to NFC hardware.

Thank God this bug has been so fucking annoying!!

I’m also a big fan! Great widgets too.

given I am a woman who is currently on the internet, I am aware there are women on the internet.

thanks for explaining that for me 😉
