Wow, good thing the owner didn't fire a load of people in the government department who could prevent this.

They're already very cheap as long as you only want two wheels and aren't fussed about having a roof.

Especially considering the pedestal it lives on on Lemmy.

Kier Starmer is a nevernude. Pass it on.

4% is hardly a spike in the scheme of things. That's just inflation when things aren't really coming down in price any more.

I bought a drive a year or so ago and was surprised how expensive it was. At some point the price just stopped dropping. Presumably there's a limit on how cheap you can make a spinning rust drive before it just doesn't work any more.

Fusion feels like one of those things that's been "a couple of decades away" since like the 1960s.

Even if it works, would it ever be cheaper or massively more useful than nationwide wind turbine networks, tidal power and fields full of solar panels?

Could be important if we want to leave the solar system at some point, and it would be nice to make it actually work, but I'm not seeing the big advantage over everything else.

That tax should have been based on car weight.

Genuinely have no idea what 67 means and if I wait a year until they tire of it then I won't have to learn.

A drive-in bedroom. How very American.

Can the HDMI standard not be implemented in hardware somehow, and then the open source software just talks to that hardware?

It seems ridiculous that you can make a device that works fine under HDMI 2.1 but you can't access it with open source code.
