@mikemathia the sheer unashamed pretentiousness of Apple presentation is the best comedy.

NIO has a phone! This is interesting. Huawei has collaborated with SERES to sell the SERES SF5. Now, NIO has its own phone. EV car companies like NIO, XPeng, etc... are more tech companies like Apple than a stuffy car maker like VW, Toyota, or Ford.

I wonder if many people realise that longer term a company like NIO and the other large Chinese EV makers have Apple in their sights, not Ford or VW. I guess we could say the same about Tesla, but Tesla is rather non-functional in many areas. They can't do basic things like delivering some models in RHD form, or delivering the Cybertruck in time, or even producing a car that's not very low quality for the price. NIO or XPeng don't suffer from these issues. msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/shoppi

@nixCraft specs aside I hope they can make then in sufficient numbers, because that's been the issue with the current models. 😔

Also, in the #RetroComputing world, I did spend about an hour yesterday on some #Psion documentation, specifically the first book of the SDK ("General Programming Manual").

The entire book is now in #AsciiDoc, and split into separate chapters (along with a separate file that `include`s all the chapters and the colophon). It's not perfect, but it's in a good enough state for me to put it online somewhere, probably with generated PDFs and EPUBs.

I think names are a doubled-edged sword—at once our best and our worst invention. Labels are handy, but mislabel something and WATCH OUT😁

(Especially when doing a DROP TABLE command in SQL)

@stevoooo well yes. They are probably waiting for it to get really really good before killing ChromeOS.

Seriously, they kind of seem committed to ChromeOS now. But Google will probably Google at some point.

@retrosponge yeah, if you needed an affordable PC and you wanted yo do gaming it would be an obvious choice! If I was a student right now, it is what I'd get.

I love that not only do I have a great gaming device in the Steam Deck but also a full Linux desktop as well.

@ThePlant @gamingonlinux that’s like being contacted by a long lost friend and then they ask for money 😒
