A very opinionated article about the inevitability of , but I didn’t see anything factually incorrect in it. The gasoline car market peaked way back in 2016 while the market set a new record last month (albeit because of US incentives expiring). Legacy manufacturers like GM aimed to transition to solely EVs while lobbying the government to back off pollution restrictions and efficiency requirements. It’s been quite a ride, but the present administration is swimming against the tide of the global market and empowering China, while leaving us isolated and increasingly irrelevant. @ZeKik @sgt1372 @vinc @vwdasher @DenOfEarth @MarkBrigham @richardknott https://www.autoevolution.com/news/at-the-crossroads-between-ice-present-and-ev-future-legacy-carmakers-chose-irrelevance-258245.html

Sadly BMW are still blathering on about Hydrogen as well. They're sort of in both camps at the moment.

Who remembers putting film in your camera?

(NB, this is a completely stacked question because I know there's a sizable crowd in the fediverse :))

Me? 3 days ago, a roll of freezer-fresh Tri-X went into my FM3a after I posted a bit about that camera earlier on.

Put a roll in ages ago and used a few frames and not used the rest annoyingly. Can't even remember what that was.

Also put a roll of something colour into the Dynax and it chucked an aperture error. I have everything crossed it was just the dust bunny causing problems and not a serious fault.
