This works for me without DMT.

Indeed. It's a smart strategy by the CCP, a brand battle royale until only the strongest survive. Given the way things have happened in the past though, I suspect what we'll see is Geely and Chery buying out the ones that fail until there's just those two giants and a few niche players who'll likely be domestic market only.

I had to type `wtf is candy corn?` into Kagi. It sounds disgusting without needing to know there's bug juice in there.

Jaecoo have had the best selling model in the UK for two or three months running now. I have no idea how you managed to lose your bet. My experience is closer to the parent post - pull into any car park in the UK and you'll count more Chinese EVs than Teslas, often you can count more Jaecoo or BYD than Tesla.

Slight nitpick - "the Chinese EVs that make the Western market are generally the budget/barebones models outside of the high-end BYD stuff" - what makes you say this? I follow the Chinese car market a fair bit and the high end marques are generally making it to western markets, even Voyah.

We're in the boom or bust years for the Chinese manufacturers. There's clearly a few fairly safe brands like BYD or anything Geely owned - they're not going away, but the smaller brands are a little bit of a gamble. I say this as someone with a hankering for an Xpeng X9. I saw a report [0] a couple of days ago that the profit margin across the Chinese car industry is at a record low 1.4% which would suggest to me that we're probably going to lose a few of the smaller brands pretty soon.

They're not. It was a bit of spurious guesswork by Mark Gurman, and we all know how those guesses end up.

Why would anyone touch their screen? Madness.

Please turn over?

Have you had any issues with deliverability? Whenever I consider self-hosting email I think about the number of comments I've seen on HN saying don't.

Putin told them to say so.

You're a good person with good intentions. Hope you get some rest sir.

This comment made my day, beautiful.

Sadly not. There were an awful lot of credulous comments in the threads on here.

More like an advert really.

Does "loss leader" mean something different here?

A lot of people in the replies here unable to conceive of buying some from a shop and then taking them on the flight themselves, therefore bypassing the need to prioritise Delta. Unbelievable.

I find it so much more annoying when it's on something that should be genuinely interesting - I just can't read this even though I do actually want to.

You can just buy some from a shop.

"Hey Siri, continue playing my audiobook" used to work, now it starts a random book from my library, even ones I've already listened to. "Hey Siri, play" used to continue playing whatever was last playing, now it starts random songs on Apple Music. Those are the only two things I use Siri for apart from controlling lights.

Thanks, I'll try again!

Wipr 2 and AdGuard for me, never see an ad.

I have full size HomePods beside the living room TV, and the one in my studio, and I've never been able to get this feature to work.

If only the Home app wasn't complete shit.

The success of the Fiat 500 and new Mini renders the GP comment completely moot.

He knows they're coming for him.

Tomato tomato.

Don't worry about opening the GPT-6 Astra one though, those ones are so bad that your brain will immediately expunge them.

The speed that the Premier clone launches is mad.

These are absurdly fast compared to the molasses originals.
