And if you listen at 1.5x speed, does that just burn your 15h faster or can you fit in more time?
It’s an interesting idea, but I think the only way I’d use it is a “try before you buy” and go out to Libro to make the purchase. At least that’s the only way I could realistically see using 15h/month.
Honestly, my biggest use case is listening on the phone and listening on my PC while at work. The two sync together extremely well and it’s pretty seamless. No idea if Apple Podcasts can do that (or plays that nicely on a Mac) but that’s my biggest use case for their sync capabilities.
Brad and Will Made a Tech Pod - https://techpod.content.town/
Brad Shoemaker of Gamespot/GiantBomb/Nextlander and Will Smith of Tested.com and several other things (but not THAT Will Smith) both dive into tech issues and are more to the left. They also have a separate FOSS Pod.
Oh god, I read that article and thought “Well that’s wrong, I wonder how they could mess that up.” I saw the author was an AI and just laughed.
But they got the click in the end and I have an ad blocker so I have no idea who wins at that point.
I totally agree, and aside from my personal stance of not owning a Tesla, I can’t deny they’ve managed to nail it on the Supercharger front. I think my frustration is more that the one major holdout on a non-CCS standard was already planning to build CCS support into their network. If they’re going to keep on that path, great, but I also won’t trust Musk’s promises on something like this until it’s completed (especially if more manufacturers jump onboard to NACS).
Just seems like it would have been easier to drag one company one way vs. keeping it the wild west.
This is upsetting since Tesla was going to adopt the CCS standard at their charging stations, since as far as I understand it, they were the only manufacturer with an unusual charging plug. Most everyone else was using CCS.
This announcement now means we’re farther away from a standard charging port, with Tesla, Ford, GM, and now Rivian adopting one set and others adopting another at the moment. I don’t care which one “wins” in the end or which is better, just pick one and be done with it.
I mean, the charitable read is the CEO of the company reassuring the entire company that they’ll be OK. That’s his entire job. Yes, it’s a pretty crappy thing to say but we all weren’t the intended audience. He’s there to rally the troops and keep morale up.
That said, fuck u/spez and I’m way happier over here than there.
/r/Games basically said they wouldn’t close up because it’s Summer games news week so why hurt the people coming to the subreddit? But also some kind of “we stand with the blackouts so we’ll make some very light changes in protest”.
I’ve generally liked and preferred Games to other choices on Reddit, but it showed they just didn’t care. Went ahead and unsubscribed because of that weak response.
I tried to use Reddit over old.reddit and I was OK with it for a while, but I gave up when topics with barely any engagement would show up at the “top” in my feed and I would get suggestions from other subreddits that I wasn’t a part of.
I can adapt to a UI given time and I did like some aspects of their new layout. I’m not on board with desperately trying to fill my feed with “something new” every time I visit the site though because sometimes I want to follow up on a topic from earlier. It just kept burying things and I switched back to old.reddit after maybe six months of trying the new one.
For the sake of the app developers, I hope Reddit reverses course, sets a more reasonable cost, or the devs find ways to hook into something like Lemmy so they can keep doing what they do best. That said, I’m happy to have found a much better community in the whole process :)
The best part of it too was for Wi-Fi calling, if it was off, couldn’t be turned on since it relied on AT&T’s website/capabilities to approve and authenticate. That was at least my experience as well as my family’s.
So if you hadn’t already enabled it before the outage, you literally couldn’t turn it on.
