The ford mondeo (I think it was called the fusion in the US) was ‘inspired’ by the Aston Martin Rapide. This was at a time when Ford owned Aston Martin. Fisker and Porritt, who worked at tesla when the model S came out, also worked for Ford/Aston Martin.
It’s not just me either. For example, here’s a ten year old thread on the tesla forum which mentions it:

The tesla model S looks like a decade old eurospec Ford Mondeo.
Certainly look more alike than a porsche and a byd.
What happens when something requires maintenance in a month/week/day?

when israel releases the 3000+ Palestinian hostages they hold in concentration camps we can reach a ceasefire.
In other words, you would rather that Israel continue bombing Gaza, than that Hamas and Israel sign a ceasefire today.
Almost as if you don’t actually care about the innocent men, women and children who are dying, as you find it politically convenient the conflict continues. Especially in the run-up to the US election.
Yeah.
This is why I bought myself some blink cameras. Obviously, privacy is shit (and I’ve factored this) and you’re affectively forced to pay for use their cloud service, but at least the (initial) purchase price is cheap.
But I’ve ‘bought’ cameras for far more, only for them to hobble functionality a few years down the line. And they’ve had vulnerabilities or whatever.
For the sensitive stuff, I have a camera with an SD card, but obviously phone notifications is a big selling point of systems like this.
It says it’ll be free for Window 365 users. Ie. 70 bucks and that includes office.
Obviously it’s not great, but it’s better than adobe.
Windows 95 cost two hundred 30 years ago.
Keep it on the old 1TB hdd and buy a sata to usb cable or usb conversion kit?
Obviously don’t google this, but IRC one of the terms used was lemon party.
Suspect it depends on where you live, but you’re not wrong.
I think I’ve driven a million kilometres by now, it’s all become so fucking boring and second nature, that you start really being sloppy and distracted. Because you gained so much experience, you start to (unconciously) overestimate your skills.
But the two hands thing really is necessary for if you hit something slippy or need to make an unexpected manoeuvre. The risks of driving are incredibly low, but if shit does hit the fan you’re in for a world of trouble if you’re doing something else.
Lawsuit waiting to happen.
PSA for admins and mods: GDPR fines can go up to 20 million euros per case. To give you an idea, Meta has been fined over 2.5 billion euros in recent years. If you think that’s bad, the real worry is Germany’s NetzDG.
That’s not really a choice you can make. Also idiots don’t know they’re idiots.
Rice absorbs moisture. The moisture might make it more conductive.
Unfortunately IME it’s a no go if you’re using banking or government/authenticator apps. (Your mileage may vary and this may change.)
Not how it should be, but how it is.
When I bought my phone a few years ago, motorola offered one with relatively stock android, no forced install of facebook or whatever, several years of (timely) android updates, and a large battery. A few years down the line, I’m still getting updates and the battery still lasts days.
And it was plastic and came with a cover, so it’s survived the occasional fall just fine.
Honestly don’t get why you’d spend more on something that can so easily be stolen.
Great news to be honest. I hope disney sees a similar spike in profits so they can make more great shows for me to pirate.
Look, no hate, but I always find these kinds of comments funny because I’ve been reading them for over twenty years.
It’s not going to happen, certainly not in any significant numbers.
Hell, look at the fediverse. The vast majority of internet users find signing up to mastodon hard, let alone lemmy. How the hell are these people supposed to install linux, for example when they follow many an ‘easy’ linux installation guide, but then find Rufus isn’t able to create a bootable USB stick in fat32? How are they supposed to verify their data, or hell change the bios settings when the guide they read gives them the wrong key to press to enter the bios? And then if by some miracle they do manage to install linux, you expect them to move away from all the apps they’ve grown used to? They’ll try to install MS office on linux and blame this not working on linux.
TLDR: Gretchen! Stop trying to make mass linux adoption happen! It’s not going to happen!
Meh. Lime mortar absorbs and releases moisture. IRC “Roman” lime concrete is much the same.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan, but that kind of thing isn’t compatible with modern insulation. You end up with damp and mould issues in the walls.
Sure it works great in uninsulated stuff though. But people and governments want every room in a building to be insulated nowadays. The whole one warm room, the rest of the building is cold and you’d better wear a three piece suit or heavy wool jumper thing, is abhorrent to our spoiled western arses.
Also: the Romans didn’t build their buildings that high. AFAIK Lime concrete has lower tensile and compressive strength, which is an issue with high rise buildings.
And according to the promotional video, it will pleasure you with a special dance.
