@carnage4life I recently tried edible straws (the pasta-like kind) in the Philippines and they have much more structural integrity than even a plastic straw and none of the disgusting taste of a paper straw.
Didi has sold its self driving electric car business to XPeng, a Chinese electric car company. This is similar to Uber selling its self driving car unit in 2020.
It sounded good in theory for ride sharing services to replace human drivers as gig workers with robotaxis. In practice, the technology has been far from ready and it’s also unclear how insuring & maintaining your own self driving fleet is a better business than taking a cut from a human driver.
@CrackedWindscreen @davidwilkins agreed. That’s a very weird omission.
@silvermoon82 that makes me want to reconsider using any Google product at all!!! And I'm speaking as heavy ChromeOS user here.
@davidwilkins i like it 😄 LWB and camper conversion for those trips to the beach and it would be perfect. I’m happy with the RWD and lower power version, just longer pls 😃
Today, a modern take on the traditional Volkswagen bus, or in this case van, in the form of the battery-powered ID. Buzz. The resemblance to the old T1 and T2 is more than skin deep; the ID. Buzz marks a return to a rear motor/RWD set-up thanks to its MEB platform, which is shared with several other Audi, Skoda and VW EVs.

Don't forget that this was an actual headline a few days back. #zoom #homewoking
I'm a proponent of #workingfromhome for health and quality of life reasons. But I find it concerning that not even Zoom believe it is doable.
yeah, I know I excluded Australia and much of Asia. But I didn't have the data in front of me :) please feel free to respond with numbers... I fully suspect that HiLux will dominate Australia too, and Corolla much of Asia.
Best-selling car models vary widely across different regions of the world. In this toot, I will compare the sizes of the following areas: ASEAN, Latin America, Europe, North America, and the world overall.
ASEAN is a regional grouping of 10 countries in Southeast Asia. The best-selling car model in ASEAN in 2021 was the Toyota Hilux. The second best-selling car model was the Isuzu D-Max, another pickup truck. So the ASEAN region loves pickups!
Latin America is a region that includes Mexico, Central America and South America. The best-selling car model in Latin America in 2021 was also the Toyota Hilux. Another pickup-loving part of the world.
Europe is a continent that consists of 44 countries. The best-selling car model in Europe in 2023 was the Tesla Model Y.
North America is a continent that includes Canada, the United States and Mexico. The best-selling car model in North America in 2022 was the Ford F-Series,.
Africa again favours pickups and again the HiLux is the best-selling car.
The world is a planet that has about 200 countries and territories. The best-selling car model in the world in 2022 was the Toyota Corolla, a compact car.
Why is the world average a small car but the most popular in terms of single models almost always a pickup? Because second, third, and fourth places do tend to be dominated by popular small cars around the world. #weirdCarMastodon

@EC64 wow! That looks really cool :D
@9to5google I do like this new naming scheme, I like the idea that anything with a Plus should be good and anything without well... you take the risk, your budget device might not be too good.
First look: Chromebook X or ‘Plus’ is coming to these current and future devices https://9to5google.com/2023/08/28/first-look-chromebook-x-plus-models/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

This is my fun social media account, I will post a lot of video game stuff (mostly old or cloud gaming) and some work stuff.
If I post an image with no Alt text it is because the image is just there for decoration and doesn't provide any extra meaning to the toot.
