Two things. 1. Already mentioned, you need to be connectable. Torrent client port needs opened on router admin panel. 2. You can only seed if there is another user(s) actively downloading that data. And if you’re 1 of many seeders, you’re only uploading a little bit

Theres a lot more to it but thats a good high level overview

He is Limmy, not Lemmy

I can’t really speak for other brands but his was a VW, not some unknown make. And he was replacing suspension items (not exactly sure what bits) but he was shocked at having to replace them parts with a new and low mileage car. If you look on EV forums its not uncommon

If his car makes it to nearly what my car is, who knows how many more tyres and suspension parts he’d replace in that time. And he’d probably need new batteries or if not, they’d be down in performance for sure

Theres so many more factors too. Like taking my young kids on camping trips and waiting 30 mins on an expensive fast charger if there is one and assuming no one else is using it at the time. Finding chargers in rural locations would be another thing I’d have to plan, my country isn’t massively equipped, although it does have some infrastructure, especially around the bigger towns. They cost more to buy new and second hand. Battery lifespan is a bit of an unknown for old EVs as none of them are that old yet but the replacement could cost more than a good second hand car. His insurance was much higher on his EV too

That said, I still do think its the future, its just my circumstances and my location right now means that it makes more sense for me to use a combustion engine. One of the things I look for most in a car is the bootspace for the camping trips and one big advantage an EV has for me is the space they have

Perhaps the match making didn’t know who to bracket you in with if you’ve only played a few games

I agree but at the minute a diesel engine is by far the better option for me personally

My car is 14 years old and has nearly 200,000 miles on it. I can’t afford a newer car. I spend a couple of hundred a year to keep it going and have done for years

My brother had an EV from 2020 and recently sold it due to running costs. They’re heavier and chew through tyres more quickly. Then his started showing faults and was getting repairs that were pretty expensive. He got at least one replacement module and it cost him thousands. Other things like rods and suspension were getting replaced when be decided to sell it. Hes been a mechanic for 35 years and couldn’t believe the things that were already going wrong with a young car with relatively low miles

Again I agree with you on them taking over and they are better in a lot of ways but for now it wouldn’t make any sense for me and these are just some of the reasons

Yes!! It’ll be fully like being back in the year 2000, widely known as “The DOS days”

Wasn’t dailymotion and liveleak around before YouTube? And it took YouTube some time before it became the mammoth it is now

Another comment here points out his i7-7700k isn’t supported. Its still quite capable, especially with swathes of users are only browsing the internet

YouTube was not the only platform back then but I agree it dwarfs what is around now

You could try Irfanview. Its not FOSS and its at a cost if this is a commercial thing

Theres a whole world of things like this I didn’t know happened. My company recently done research on a website Chat Bot. I rubbished it off saying no one ever uses them, it turns out thousands click on them (including a lot of my managers)

I have. Its the matter and antimatter thing. I wonder who put it there in the first place

Matt Brown - security researcher and bug bounty hunter

Robert Murray Smith - general mechanical engineering tinkering, lots to learn

TheCod3r - console and other electronic repairs

Wesley Kagan - builds cars but is just an overall genius and entertaining

Joe Grand - hacker, genius

There are more popular/sometimes better people and channels in each genre but I’ve stuck to those with under 1 million sub’s. I’ll assume people like Colin Furze, Ben Eater, Computerphile are already too well known for this thread

I made an account here without an email address (I done that on reddit too but you can’t anymore)

I can use various websites to view deleted reddit comments

I would never consider anything that I have let leave my device as “deleted” anyway

They’re robots, probably don’t “rough”

I wonder if he hated it, the sound of his own voice every time

FUTO was the joke naming we’d use for files in an old job as there was this one guy who’s files were always “FileName-Final” or “FileName-Final2” or “FileName-UseThisOne”. So FUTO (Final Use This One) became the name for the most up to date versions
