That's more than 30-50

There's usually a good reason that concept cars aren't mass produced as-is. In the cybertruck's case, it's many reasons, which were all ignored.

Turning yourself into a science fair volcano

The problem I've been running into is that a lot of new cars just have insanely dazzling LED low beams. Even in a medium height car with a sedan coming at me, it's awful.

I've seen a few cars where the low beams are warm white and the high beams go cool white, but that seems pretty rare, since car makers have been trying to associate "blue LED" with luxury.

A girder (/ˈɡɜːrdər/) is a beam used in construction.

That's not how it was done before, though. It wouldn't download update A, start installing A, then trigger downloading update B while A was installing. A would have to finish installing before B could even start downloading.

Especially for smaller updates, the overhead of the network handshaking to start the download can actually make doing 3/4 downloads at once faster than sequencing them. For larger updates, it matters less, but it's not a negative.

You can still use an app while the update is downloading. You only can't while the update is installing, and installations still have to happen sequentially (limitation of Android). It only really matters if you want to specifically use an update right away, but then you can just manually trigger the update for just that app.

Leonardo DiCaprio (who played Jack in the 1997 Titanic movie) is kind of notorious for dating people in their early twenties and breaking up by the time they're in their late twenties.

Not to defend the mega corporation, but companies file patents for ridiculous things all the time that never end up actually being made or used.

I took the onion off and made some garlic bread with the loaf so things turned out okay.

I was looking forward to the BLT though.

Edit: I ordered delivery through GrubHub, so I couldn't see them making the sandwich. I thought it seemed a little light when I took it out of the bag, but the BLTs I've gotten before have always felt light, so I didn't realize.

Also this is c/mildlyinfuriating. It wasn't a huge deal, and GrubHub refunded me for the item, but it was mildly infuriating since I wanted a BLT and someone misunderstood my order.

Hey everyone!

Because of how Mastodon and Lemmy are spread across multiple domains, I made an app for Android to help make following shared fediverse links hopefully a bit easier.

Fediverse Redirect has support for most Mastodon and Lemmy instances, and lets you choose which client you want the links to open in, even if that client doesn't support deep linking. It needs some initial setup because Android is very much not built for one app to have so many deep link domains specified, but it should be easy on Android 11 and later or when using LinkSheet.

Both variants are free and open source and there's support for a bunch of clients already. I'd love to hear your feedback on behavior/UI/new clients/whatever. Keep in mind that a lot of clients don't have a way to send them links, so I may not be able to add support without changes to the client.

Right now, downloads are available through the GitHub releases tab and through IzzyOnDroid. I may put the apps on the Play Store, but I don't think they'll be happy about all the deep link domains.

As with the original post, let me know if this isn't a good place to post this and I'll remove it.
