They did. The Honda e was the perfect tiny EV, except for its massive price tag and small-ish range. And of course, in classic Honda fashion, as a promising but flawed attempt didn’t succeed immediately, they promptly abandoned the segment instead of capitalizing on acquired knowledge, battery technology advances and price drops. Given how successful the Renault 5 is, I’m pretty sure a 2nd gen e at half the price would have been a massive success.

Of course, being Honda, they changed their mind and came back with a significantly worse SUV.

I think, being “raised” in Québec-French, you have picked up a lot of pronunciations and vocabulary that are unknown in European French, to the point that I’m pretty sure it is one of the few varieties that could be truly considered a dialect.

I’ve heard some québécois speak “standard” French… they sound distinctly québécois ;)

Ultimate 2 also has TMR joysticks. I love mine.

I’m pretty sure they’ll eventually be considering your AI leverage when determining raises, layoffs, etc.

It’s already started. Where I work, LLM usage has become the one single metric to judge who’s a good and who’s a bad software engineer. It’s depressing and infuriating. I have very talented people on my team, but their low LLM usage makes them “worthless”. Meanwhile some morons who have always been shit engineers are called “champions” because they burn 2000 Claude credits a month.

What makes me really mad is that the best engineers look worse because they don’t need the slop crutch to do their job effectively, while shit-tier engineers and lazy motherfuckers burn an insane amount of resources to implement the most basic functionality.

I’m waiting for the reckoning with impatience…

They always were Linux-friendly. Some hardware choices like the fingerprint reader were directly related to Linux compatibility. Firmware and UEFI updates have always been available on Linux. They sponsor a lot of FOSS projects (some of them unfortunately linked to nazi dipshits, stirring a lot of controversy, but 99% of them are clean).

They may not have explicitely advertised Linux before, but they dropped a lot of hints.

I don’t think you understand the point of an immutable distro.

Ouch. And I guess it’s slightly more involved than removing 5 screws and a connector…

I think you’re supposed to use brew on uBlue.

Doesn’t change the fact that the new input cover is 200€, vs 100€ for the 2nd gen one and discounted 45€ for the 1st gen.

I hope so. I’m still rooting for them

My 13 is less than a year old, so I don’t need to upgrade anything. But that sweet haptic trackpad is very tempting.

I guess I’ll upgrade the bottom chassis when my battery dies in a few years.

Man I was really hoping for a haptic touchpad compatible with the current input cover… At least they kept the Pro input cover compatible with the regular chassis, although it’s a very pricey upgrade.

My 7040u is rock solid on Fedora. I’ve seen some pretty bad shit with the Ryzen AI series, but people tend to only post about issues.

Tuxedo (and most of “European” and/or “Linux” brands like Slimbook, XMG/Schenker etc.) are rebranded Tongfang or Clevo laptops though. They are neither designed nor made in Europe.

Eeehhh. Native speaker here. I can hear the difference, doesn’t mean I can pronounce it without it feeling alien. In my southwestern accent, a distinct “ê” doesn’t really exist. We tend to ignore length and/or closed vowels.

For example, “les” /le/ (pl. the) and “laid” /lɛ/ (ugly) are both pronounced [le], “fête” /fɛt/ (party) and “faîte” /fɛ:t/ (roof ridge) are both [fɛt]. Another exemple is “ô” and “o” being both merged into a very open [ɔ], “paume” (palm) and “pomme” (apple) sound exactly the same.

Yes it’s already there, you just have to activate the performance overlay in the “•••” menu.

You can easily alter one of the presets to only show battery percentage by editing /home/deck/.config/MangoHud/preset.conf using this documentation.

My goto preset only shows FPS, watts and battery percentage.

Naked and Famous are great but very expensive. They use exotic fabrics and make exclusive, limited edition runs that, IMHO, would be wasted on workwear.

If you’re looking for regular selvedge denim at a fraction of N&F’s price, while still uncompromising on quality, durability and fabric, their no-label sub-brand The Unbranded Brand are awesome. I’ve worn 2 pairs already (both lost to crotch blowout after 3-4 years of daily wear, the issue being me getting fatter, not the jeans themselves). I’ve just started wearing my latest pair, an UB301.

We do that. Mainly for rats, pigeons and cockroaches tho.
