  • From burner phones to decks of cards: NYC teens are adjusting to the smartphone ban

    Jump

  • Decks of cards are usually banned in schools. The schools consider card games to be gambling (even if there are no stakes) and that's not permitted on school premesis.

  • The Graphene OS team have said that they are going to continue, have received the pixel 10 phones they ordered and have put out a statement regarding this issue.

  • I suggested "Fedlings" in the main thread and I think that could work for the fediverse at large.

  • I really like it too. If it takes off, no need to attribute it to me. I'm sure other people have also thought of it.

  • FTC chair Andrew Ferguson warns Google not to filter or suppress emails sent by Republicans over Gmail

    Jump

  • Lol. Send me the email. I'm not just going to filter it. Y'all are so bad at email I could reply all and tank your email chain with an all hands message of my asshole. Seriously, Republicans what even is this? If you don't want it marked as spam don't send it to people who don't want and didn't ask for it.

  • Americans’ junk-filled garages are hurting EV adoption, study says

    Jump

  • After a couple of years? No. But 25 years isn't an unreasonable amount of time to want to own a vehicle if you take care of it. We treat vehicles these days like they're disposable and honestly I don't think a 25 year old battery pack is going to be particularly desirable.

  • Here’s What Happened When I Made My College Students Put Away Their Phones

    Jump

  • One thing that worked for me was recording the lesson so that I didn't necessarily have to take notes right away and could absorb more information being told to me, have time to think about that information and ask questions in the moment. Then I could go home, re-listen to the lecture, write out some notes, and then fine tune those notes by reading the source material and other learning aids. This worked better for me especially having ADHD than trying to write notes and missing parts of the lecture as a result. Being able to take photos of the board was also useful, especially when diagrams and or visual information was being relayed.

    I do think it's important to experiment with what you have available and find strategies that work for you. Not everyone learns the same way.

  • Trump is building ‘one interface to rule them all.’ It’s terrifying.

  • It's stupid from a comsec perspective even if it wasn't stupid for any other reasons. Compartmentalization is a good strategy as we continue to upgrade outdated and vulnerable systems. But of course, this "leader" is an idiot. So he wouldn't know that.

  • Americans’ junk-filled garages are hurting EV adoption, study says

    Jump

  • I would argue that even if you did get a used one with new batteries, you'd still face degradation down the line and additional problems that would or could be mitigated in older ice cars which are much more likely to have replacement parts available (even if those replacement parts don't come from the same type or brand of vehicle). For instance. I know for a fact that there's a trend of using Honda engines in older first Gen mini coopers. Buying a rebuilt engine has the potential to be pretty cheap.

  • Here’s What Happened When I Made My College Students Put Away Their Phones

    Jump

  • I don't care. Mostly because we already have examples of what classes were like without them and the people who are reliant on them now will adapt and learn to cope if they're taken away.

    Additionally, people only think about what phones could be used for in class that they'd disapprove of, rather than things it might actually be useful for. I've personally had great success with recording lessons/lectures, and being able to refer back to them. This allowed me to ask more questions and take more time to understand the subject. Taking photos of diagrams? Awesome. Having a note document that I could reformat that was legible? Awesome.

  • The average car in the US is 12 years old. That average is higher in other countries. But regardless, that's not because cars are unfixable. It's because most people opt to buy a new or newer car when they feel like the vehicle they currently own is more expensive to fix than they'd like and a lot of that has nothing to do with the longevity of the vehicle and everything to do with how vehicle purchase can be financed vs how car repair can be financed.

    It also has a lot to do with people who don't or won't fix things before they snowball, and or become astronomically expensive problems. Taking care of a vehicle is about doing regular maintenance (which most people don't do), and getting at the very least an annual inspection (which most people also don't do unless they're forced to).

    I won't be buying a new car ever. I can say that with absolute certainty. I have rehabbed my current car in just about every way I can. Machined/honed block, new valves, new piston/lan rings, new head gasket, new water pump, new thermostat housing, new valve cover, new injectors, rebuilt transmission with new clutch, all new hoses, all new gaskets, new HP fuel pump. I will continue to do so because to me it's worth it. Doner cars are readily available, but I probably won't need one specifically because my car is considered and enthusiast car. I have walked into a dealer and ordered parts and my car is 15 years old. I also owned a 20 year old version of this car with the same ability to order parts directly from the dealer.

    Most people aren't buying used unless they have no choice. They will continue to buy new cars regardless of the controversy surrounding them.

    I think it's a bit disingenuous assume that older cars will not be available. Especially considering that the EV's that are new right now aren't going to survive 25 years without costly repairs of their own. I'd salvage an engine from an older car. I wouldn't salvage a battery pack from an older car.

  • Not worth the cost of admission. The amount of money it costs to refurb that battery pack is still too high.

  • It is a reason to not buy a new car which means people who aren't buying new cars won't be buying EV's.

  • Starlink tries to block Virginia’s plan to bring fiber Internet to residents

    Jump

  • I have fiber internet. I don't understand this question. Are you suggesting that nowhere in the US has this technology? Like. This situation (where a private company sues a state, county, municipality etc to stop the rollout of fiber internet (or even another private company) happens so frequently that it's unreal.

    There's plenty of places that already have fiber. And those private companies for the most part want to continue growing that user base by rolling out fiber in new markets.

    And if it's the state actually controlling the rollout that's better than them just paying a private company to do it? If this weren't a threat to Musk and Starlink he wouldn't be suing.
