Kia launches the 2025 Ray EV starting under $21,000 in c/evs@lemmy.world
[–] kinttach@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I have an EV with 250 miles range. Typically gets more than that, not less, in the summer with AC on.

Apple Intelligence is so underbaked in c/apple@lemmy.ml

Very few people will be able to use it: only iPhone 15 Pro and higher. Most users won’t have a capable phone until their next upgrade in 1-3 years.

Hopefully by then they’ve caught up to where Anthropic, OpenAI, and Meta are today.

Anychance all the inflation we're are seeing is foreign entities ditching the dollar after seeing the state of things? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] kinttach@lemm.ee 20 points 2 weeks ago

Inflation has been falling for a couple years and is fairly low right now, though not as low as it was back when interest rates were zero.

The dollar has been fairly strong in recent years.

Inflation in 2022 was likely due to price gouging with companies like Exxon Mobil reporting record or near-record profits at that time.

https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/XOM/exxon/gross-profit

By late 2022, companies had jacked up prices high enough that the demand curve had likely reached the “crossover” point. Since then prices and inflation have been falling back to normal.

it would be nice if iWork used ODF as it’s really not productivity software if its formats are not compatible with the rest of the world no matter what OS and software one is using in c/apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world
[–] kinttach@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago

I have used the Excel/Word/Keynote formats with iWork and it’s okay. MS Office is the de-facto standard format and recognized by Google Docs, OpenOffice, and of course MS Office.

I don’t think it’s a truly open format like ODF, but you can be sure it’ll be recognized everywhere for a long time.

What the fuck happened to YouTube!? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Plenty of adblocker extensions on iOS Safari.

For YouTube, I’d recommend Vinegar, although the more general adblockers will also work.

I’ve been locked out of PayPal for years because of their mistake (lemm.ee)
 

About 3 or 4 years ago PayPal added the option to buy cryptocurrency, which I thought I’d try. (Dumb idea 🙄)

Part of the sign up process was glitched. I retried and clicked submit one too many times, I guess. Now I’ve been unable to use PayPal for years. They blocked me because THEIR SITE was broken, but the web page essentially accuses me of being a criminal and asks for my bank records. No way in hell.

This was just for me to pay others. I can only imagine how awful PayPal is if you are a vendor.

Fuck PayPal.

“Failed to mark post as read” errors

I see this error almost every time I open the comments on a post.

My server is lemm.ee. Does it not support the “mark as read” feature?

Apple Store across the street from an Apple Store -- are there any closer than this? (lemm.ee)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by kinttach@lemm.ee to c/apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world

Comedian Lewis Black has a routine about “a Starbucks across the street from a Starbucks”. Apple Stores aren’t nearly as common.

Unless you’re in Glendale, California -- where Apple Glendale Galleria is across the street from Apple The Americana at Brand.

Are there any other Apple Stores this close together?

The stores are less than 150 meters apart, but unfortunately they aren’t within sight of each other. As you exit Apple The Americana at Brand, you won’t see the other Apple Store — only a notably uncrowded Samsung Experience Store.

How reliable are EV chargers? (lemm.ee)
 

New EV owner here. We charge at home so I don’t need to use them, but stores nearby have chargers. I tried them to see how they work. They are often broken.

One store has a Volta charger (free!). It worked great the first time; the next time I went it was broken.

Walmart has an Electrify America fast charger. The first time I went, 1 of 3 was not working. The next time I went, 1 of 3 was not working, but it was a different one.

Was I unlucky, or are these charging networks unreliable? Has it been getting better or worse over time?

Spoiler policy? (lemm.ee)
 

What’s the policy for this community if we want to discuss current shows? And does Lemmy have a way to mark spoilers?
