They had the Chevy Spark... nee Daewoo matiz they discontinued in 2022. Badge job for years. If you're not looking for as small, the Opel Astra is in the same segment as a Golf, they could spin up a Chevy Astra line in a very short time if they wanted.

In Brazil they have the Onix subcompact. Again, it'd be easy to start a us line, they have everything they need.

They have zero desire to sell anything like that here and their dealers shunt anyone away from small, low commission cars.

If this means I can get my hands on something like a Honda S660 in the US, then I'm all for it.

Because TPM takes the users computer and makes it Microsoft's. It is a builtin, pre-installed rootkit. It was never about making the computer safer for the user, but safer for Microsoft.

I havent seen a blue screen in 10 years, except deliberately when trying new boundaries for over clocking.

Last year on Black Friday I decided to replace my aging Ryzen 2400g with a 5700X because it was on a good sale (and the latest gen CPU my B350 board supports). When I added it to my cart, I noticed a ram kit had been added as well. 2x16gb DDR4. Free with purchase. DDR5 was the going concern, why not make loss leaders of all this old DDR4 and increase sales elsewhere, eh? I doubled my CPU cores, per core actual speed, and went from 16gb->48gb for ~$150. Today that exact "free" RAM sells for $165 https://www.newegg.com/corsair...

Yeah but radio ads are generic and not 2 way conversations. They are not an asking what you are saying and twisting it towards explaining why you need product X.

It will be as reliable as asking a used car salesman for advice. Somehow it's gonna be advice about how a car would for me

to be fair they are italians. Just writing in English is worthy of praise.

nVidias Linux driver's are crap. Constant breakage and problems with sleeping. X with Nvidia and kde is basically a total loss at this point. AMD drivers "just work" for all this. No breakage for half the kernel updates, abandonment to a million old sub branches for different hardware. Hi AMD for Linux, yeah.

It's actually worse than that. VIA raised the per-unit licensing fee from $0.20 to $0.24. rather than eat the $0.04 per unit cost increase, Dell and HP disabled the codec.

KDE Connect is the shit. I use the help out of it. It "just works" (at least with Android). I haven't had it fail to quickly recognize my device on the network except once in the last year (and that turned out to be because I'd turned off WiFi like a dope). I also like the feature that it pauses all playing media when someone calls you. And the phone-as-touchpad/keyboard. And the media controls.

Anything but their own genetics. Someone else's fault, always.

The greatest conceit of our time: "You can't trust an expert in the field because they are an expert in that field." What all the YouTube nonsense boils down to.

I like the look of the Ioniq 6 a lot. Definitely has a a classic Citroen look about it. The 5 I'd like better if it were smaller in every dimension. It looks like someone inflated a VW Golf, but I'd rather have something the size of a Golf.

A 6 is probably in my future if my gas car finally kicks it. My wife has a PHEV (Honda Clarity) and barely uses any gas at all.

Is it reusable?
