    Your battery probably isn’t supplying sufficient voltage and your laptop is compensating. It is almost random chance in getting a good battery for a machine of that vintage. Using Linux will likely cause unexpected power off at low charge states.

    Your best bet is to return that battery to the vendor and try another battery from another supplier.






  • Bolt is too small, the ID4 can’t fit 3 car seats comfortably either, and the Aryia is too small and is a sad excuse for an ev, especially given the legacy of the Leaf.

    The Buzz comes close but isn’t widely available, the EV9 would fit the bill were it not for its excessive size. That size also rules out the R1T.

    What I want is essentially a lifted full-sized wagon, which in ICE terms is like an Outback or Sorento.

    Enter GM with the Lyriq/Blazer/Prologue. Perfect dimensions, reasonable range.

    Except they haven’t shipped them, and they announced they are stripping CarPlay starting this year.

    Lucid has an SUV that might do if I was rich.

    Or I can walk into a Tesla store today and buy a model Y with more range, less weight, a great charging network with a future proof connector, and a more proven platform than the unproven and rather piggish Ultium platform. I could buy the Y, put my fucking child car seats in and be done.

    Now I’m not buying a Tesla because fuck Elon and fuck not having CarPlay, but you can see why they are so relevant.

    There are simply too many unfilled niches in the EV market.












  • RHEL isn’t considered best practice by anyone except paranoid enterprise shops that want a support contract above an actually up to date distro and kernel.

    RHEL’s packages were so out of date you often had to go to unofficial sources just to get something close to recent. It’s less important now with Docker, but it was a pain in the ass to do lots of Docker stuff on RHEL in the early days when compared to Ubuntu due to missing kernel features.
