Lemmy reminds me of Reddit 10-15 years ago. Back when popular posts would be on the front-page for a few days, when a few hundred or thousand upvotes was a lot, when large communities had tens of thousands of subscribers, not hundreds or millions, when the chance of recognizing and running into the same users on various subreddits was still kind of common...
And yet in most of my games for Switch they can't even do half-assed mirror reflections :(
Our current microwave came used with the house we bought 10 years ago!
You'll see McDonald's jobs disappear, but the demand for cheap fast food will still exist.
You almost made me choke on my $15 Big Mac.
A Switch with the controller disconnected gets you pretty darn close to the same feeling these days.
I'm almost 40 and a lot of my cars in my teens and 20s were from the '80s and '90s. Almost everything I've owned has had at least a rudimentary cruise control although there are some ('80s Bronco II, '95 Miata, early '90s 240sx, 99 Impreza Wagon) where it was broken or I just never used it.
All that said, I LOVE the radar controlled cruise control on my current vehicle. I've used it for at least 20,000 miles of driving at this point. Interstate, highway, city, you name it... Pretty much any time I want to maintain a steady speed over 28 and there's not a lot of stop and go traffic. I hate thinking about life without it now (and I hate using standard cruise control without radar)!
Yes, but the "demand" that you are talking about is for cheap on the consumer side, not on the producer side. It may (arguably) still be cheap food on the producer cost side, but the consumer price side has gone insane. The quality definitely is shit.
I searched the specs on the battery, and the same exact battery with leads already soldered to it came up from quite a few different sources. Some of them had a small white 2-pin connector, I'm not sure if it would be compatible with the green one that is on the battery in the article, but it would be an easy fix for somebody into electronics (even with parts and tools off Amazon, if not DigiKey or something). All that said, it's still bullshit the company is still around but isn't supporting a 10 year old $100,000 mobility device relied on by someone who is disabled. The headline makes it sound like he's screwed though, and that's hardly the case. This is an easy fix.
Cowboy hat, maybe?
Edit: No, more like a Mountie hat.
She's too old for that.
