    TIL about Detroit Electric

    Jump

  • An even earlier manufacturer was Baker Electric of Cleveland, Ohio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_Motor_Vehicle. They werem't the first (EVs had been around since 1880), but by 1906 they were the biggest car maker, running the largest manufacturing plant in the world.

    Main market was for those who made frequent short stops, and didn't want to get their hands dirty hand-cranking the gas or steam motor starters. Their coupe model had a 'boat-tiller' instead of a steering wheel.

    Jay Leno has a restored 1909 Baker Electric he showed on an old car show: https://youtu.be/OhnjMdzGusc

    There was a glut of electric cars, then gas-powered ones with longer range showed up. In 1912, the electric starter was introduced for gas cars, taking away one of the main features of EVs. By 1914, Baker would merge and then shut down.

    Looking forward to security researchers taking em-dash out for a spin. Either way, kudos to CloudFlare for going Big or Die.

  • What are your thoughts on the Macbook Neo?

  • Any kids coming from a school-issue Chromebook could get a great upgrade moving to these.

    I know people who run Illustrator/Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, Logic, Microsoft Office, and Font Design software on their 8GB Macbooks. Obviously, not all at the same time, but at least 2 or 3 apps together without a problem.

    This gives an on-ramp to those users looking for a new, shiny entry-level laptop.
