Today, we’re sticking with Volkswagen and the same electric MEB platform as used by yesterday’s ID. Buzz. This is something completely different, the thoroughly modern ID.5, a sort of SUV coupé sister to the slightly staider ID.4. The ID.5 has had some slightly lukewarm reviews but I rather like it.

@davidwilkins they are kind of pointless, but I generally do like the look of coupe SUVs (too much at times!), however, whereas I love the look of the ID. Buzz you posted before this doesn't quite do it for me. It's kind of muted and forgettable in my eyes.
Having said that, as a daily driver I'd consider it against a Model Y or Ioniq 5. A daily doesn't have to look like a dream, it has to perform adequately :)
Weirdly this sort of Ford mentality is exactly why I'd lean away from an Everest over something like a Fortuner or MU-X. Isuzu and Toyota keep it simple and Ford overcomplicates :) And it isn't just suspension, but AWS systems, engines, etc...
I recently noticed that humble little Ford Everests have a Watt's link for the rear axle.
The car geek in me was hugely impressed. I know Ford has used it before, but I didn't expect it on the Everest. I always associate it with old-fashioned race cars like Australian V8 Supercars. #weirdCarMastodon
I tried what this article stated and it is true, it points me to potentially dangerous resources and it generates images. But it also gave me a very long health warning. https://www.theregister.com/2023/08/15/ai_generates_eating_disorder_content/?td=keepreading
@jq search for powerbank handheld and you'll get a few mathes of different variations on the same theme.

There are others too :)
@JJFlash I pay the stupid TV tax here too, even if I don't watch TV. :) It's easier.
@split how DARE you make friends? How very dare you?!?!?!

You typically expect Linux users to have a better understanding about privacy and security but this seems to be a blind spot for many
This is one of the weirdest new gaming devices I've seen in #Aliexpress lately. It is a power bank and handheld console in one... #retrogaming #gaming
@ayo you are a good netcitizen.
I auto-boost #introduction posts I see :)
@trinsec my mother doesn’t have a TV and she’s not had once since my dad died. She just never got round to getting a new one.
My mother in law though, she watches game shows! And she does so willingly and for free. You’d have to either pay me or have a court order to get me to do that.
@retrosponge yeah. I have Prime too, so I’ll count that as well 😄
@trinsec I’d relate more to watching YouTube on a monochrome display more than I do watching stuff live on a schedule 😂
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.
