Ruben isn't super quick to put out updates but he makes up for it in quality. He was slower than some other devs to get Boost for Lemmy out the door but the first release was damn near perfect, stable, fast and only very minor bugs. Personally I prefer quality over constant updates.

These developers owe us nothing and it takes an incredible amount of time and lots of money to develop an app of this quality so no matter which app you choose consider paying and/or donating.

Yes and that's why I said 8 billion and not 80, I accounted for the fact that this was one year worth of work.

Voluntary recalls are actually more common than ordered recalls. Manufacturers usually don't wait for the NHTSA to get involved.

What makes it a recall is that either the manufacturer or the NHTSA determine that there's a safety defect or that the vehicle doesn't confirm to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard.

So I believe the terminology is required by the NHTSA if it fits the above definition regardless of how the issue is addressed.

Of course this is for the US and this is a recall in China but I'm assuming similar legal requirements are involved.

I'm speaking from a US point of view. To my knowledge there are no 240 watt USB-C chargers in existence.

There are a handful that claim 240 watts but upon closer inspection only provide a max of ~100 watts per port.

There are cables sold with a 240 watt rating but no actual chargers.

I don't think there are any 240 watt chargers on the market though despite it theoretically being supported. Last I read, there were some doubts around if it was truly feasible. Laptops that require more than 90 or so watts still come with proprietary chargers because they can't charge at full rate over USB-C.

My Dell laptop is 240 watts and the only way to charge it at full rate over USB is to buy a proprietary $250 charger from Dell that provides two USB cords that must be plugged in together to achieve a combined 240 watts. The 90 watt charger from my old laptop won't keep it running for more than an hour.

Anyway, hopefully we see 240 watt USB-C in the future but at the moment it seems to be vaporware. Maybe this ruling will push it forward.

Tick bites can cause it. Something about your body building immunity to a protein transferred by the tick that closely matches those found in beef or something like that.

I have this which is $113 right now and I think you can catch it for a bit cheaper sometimes. Of course you have to factor in installation costs if you're not comfortable installing it yourself.

It's great though because it makes it easy to use filtered water even for tea, coffee, cooking etc since it's right at hand at the sink.

Chongqing China. He says it at the very beginning.

Vanilla bean is one. A lot of the people who produce it don't really understand why we want it.

Charged overnight most PHEV's have plenty of range for the average person's daily commute and there's really no reason range can't be improved. That's a huge reduction in emissions.
