I drive an Ioniq 6 as well and really like it. I got it as a one year old car with the big battery and highest interior line for 37k €. I like the user interface, it is one of the most efficient cars (I drive it at ~13.5 kWh/100km), can tow trailers, charges really fast, has a good overall range, supports Android Auto and Apple Carplay etc.

Downsides: It has an issue with an internal part called ICCU that breaks quite often (in forums people often experienced a failure after ~30000 km). Same issue with Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6. It’s covered by the warranty of course but still can be annoying.

The keyless system is apparantly not really secure and can be hacked easier than in other cars. Where I live (Germany) at least, this doesn’t lead to higher theft cases compared to other brands, so for me that’s not too bad.

PS: I do not charge at hone but exclusively at public stations. Charging at home for sure makes it cheaper and more convenient but still I wouldn’t want want to go back to ICE.

FitoTrack is amazing. It has a really simple UI, supports various different activities, GPS data is very accurate and it provides very detailed statistics. Heart rate measurement is supported as well. No ads, no trackers, open source, available on F-Droid.

You left out [S]kype and [T]eams. That doesn’t count!

A friend of mine works as a chef in a big restaurant that serves mainly tourists that are often drunk, rude and sometimes aggressive. He works in a hot, loud and greasy athmosphere, has to stand all day, work on weekends, public holidays, often until late in the evening. I work in a clean and comfortable office or even from home, am pretty flexible with my working hours, have more vacation days and still make significantly more money than him. And he’s already getting way above minimum wage. There are so many people in Germany who aren’t even close to what he makes and who work under conditions even worse than that, like seasonal workers for fruit picking, construction workers, care workers etc.

I think also IT workers should stand up for themselves and demand improvements where things are going in a wrong direction. Still I’d say us IT folks (with probably very few exceptions) shouldn’t be the ones complaining in the front row.

I work in IT (in Germany) and compared to other industries I’d say we’re still doing pretty good. Not saying everything is perfect but salary, benefits, working conditions etc. are (often way) better than average. At least I feel pretty privileged with my job.

Bin auch seit zwei Jahren bei Octopus und bislang keine Probleme gehabt. Support hat schnell geantwortet, als ich mal ein Anliegen hatte, ganz im Gegenteil zu Maingau, wo ich davor war.

Oder Erdgeschoss mit Fenstern nach draußen. Da kann man im Grunde sitzen bleiben, bis die Tür durchgebrannt ist. 😀

In a way that it allows me to salvage any burnt bread by simply unroasting it? Or a time machine that will take me back to the dinosaurs but I’ll arrive dead and crispy?

I guess they’ll at least try to salvage or destroy it themselves. Even if the electronics etc. are defective, a jet in almost perfect condition might be pretty interesting to analyze for foreign nations.

I never did, but I also don’t know any other Lemmy user in person, so I guess it’s pretty pointless to share my profile.

From my perspective Lemmy by far isn’t as user-centric as Mastodon. In Mastodon you mainly follow people whereas in Lemmy you subscribe to communities.

I had a HP Veer, a HP Pre 3 and a HP Touchpad and they were all great devices at the time, all running WebOS. If HP hadn’t ditched its development, it might have turned into a successful competitor for Android and iOS, definitely better than Windows Phone.

And pours the boiling water on its legs.

Does someone have experience with a de-googled Android phone (graphene, /e/, …) for professional use in IT? I need a ton of authenticator apps (Microsoft Authenticator, Oracle Authenticator,…), various VPN apps and privacy-invading ‘security’ apps. Does such stuff typically work without play services and with a custom rom?

In the past I used a custom rom on my private phone and already there it was a bit of hassle to get the banking app running. I’d assume it to be worse with these professional spyware apps. Am I right?

As far as I know it’s a license thing. For wireless they have to pay a fee to Google (I think I read something like 500 USD but no guarantee for the number). You can get an wired2wireless adapter for less than 50 bucks, so I personally don’t see it as an issue.

I got an Ioniq 6 and am pretty satisfied with the car. I’m fine with wired Android Auto but there are also pretty cheap adapters to convert it into wireless.

How did you manage that with a mini aux connector?

I don’t care for its sportiness at all but the Ioniq 6 is a pretty solid vehicle IMHO. It’s among the most efficient EVs overall, has physical buttons, you can use Android Auto and Apple Carplay, tow a trailer etc.

I just browse all from time to time and if I recognize interesting / funny content from a community several times I subscribe.

Regarding your specific example, there pretty good reasons not to use AI if there’s an adequate alternative, so I can absolutely understand people arguing against that.

AI is resource intensive and thus bad for the environment. Results usually aren’t deterministic, so the behavior is no longer reproducible. If there is a defined algorithm to solve the issue in a correct way, AI will be less accurate. If you use cloud services, you may run into privacy issues.

Not saying there aren’t any use cases for LLMs or other forms of AI. But just applying it everywhere 'cause it’s fancy, is not a good idea.

In general, I appreciate if people question my work or come up with proposals for improvement as long as it’s polite and the person is at least qualified to some degree. However, that does not mean that I change my mind immediately and follow their advice.
