In Europe, Renault sold the Zoe and others on a battery lease basis, reducing the vehicle cost but with a recurring lease on the battery.

For me, as a used car buyer who wants to buy a car outright (not on finance) that rules it out. I don't want to commit to paying Renault monthly to lease a battery at a price that is more than I currently spend on petrol.

To be fair, that is not very logical on my part, it does not make financial sense for me to go electric as I do so few miles.

I can only read the first sentence of that article without signing up, but can attest that in my current car search I am looking at used electric vehicles that have lost two thirds of their value in 3-4 years.

Depending on how complex his vision is, you might be able to do a chunk of this in side someone else's game, Roblox, MineCraft etc. I recall my daughter spending loads of time in Roblox games that other kids had made, so long as the game logic is not to crazy you might just need to arrange objects and let the existing 3d controls take care of the hard part.

Also, top commenter is right, the game won't get finished so aim for an achievable goal that is interesting in it's own right.

Surely there are plenty of us who would happily (or at least less reluctantly) pay incrementally more as our storage needs increase, but who baulk at trebling what we pay in one jump.

The thing that is taking up loads of my iCloud storage is the 'live' video version of photos where the tiny snippet of movement has a larger filesize than the photo that it accompanies. The only way I have found so far to deal with this is to download the files locally, delete from iCloud, delete the local videos and upload the remaining still images. This is time consuming, clunky and makes me nervous that I'll delete something or lose something important in the process. Is there anything out the that help to automate that process but where there is some level of editorial control so that I can identify and keep the handful of 'live' images that I might actually want to keep?

VW group includes Audi, Skoda, Seat, Porsche, Bentley, Seat and others

And weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Algolia’s did a great job of getting to wow quickly by walking me through setting up an index

Not banning per se, just stopping sales of new. So there will still be plenty of used ICE cars knocking around for a good few years.

There are plenty of us who’d like this to be untrue. Myself included.

Can’t deny that it’s a reasonable theory, especially for certain types of companies at certain stages.

I sometimes use voice recognition in Notes on my Mac to write up my meeting notes, but I find that my waffly speech results in very verbose notes. Also still quite a few mis-hears where I read my notes back later and have to work out what I was actually saying.

Can I have transcription that can then turn my rambling into neat and concise prose?

I had to clean my cup, FML!

Figma are a competitor to Sketch though, in that many designers use Macs and for a while Sketch was the UI app of choice, but seems that Figma ate their lunch.

When the Ryanair guy gets in the news for suggesting some new outrageous cost cutting measure it’s not because they really plan to swap the seats for battery cages to save space, it’s because they need to keep up the image of being the cheapest

This is the first time we’ve had the TV on watching something whilst it is actually being broadcast though airwaves for months.

You'll hear the opposite refrain where I live, as the expansion of the university prices locals out of rented accommodation.

And Safari on MacOS

I also hate them, my email is slow and mobile internet is almost non-existent at my house, so now I am waiting for an email to arrive in my inbox before I can login, or I am waving my phone around trying to get reception to receive a code.

I'm sure I am not the only one with those issues. As said above, this would all be fine if Magic Link was an option rather than the only way to sign in.

Not sure what all the down votes are for, I’m English and this is completely correct.

I thought the same, and my Smart Sony TV claims very low standby consumption, but when it is on the Wifi and sat there ready to Airplay too it consumes something close to 27W all night long. I setup a smart plug to turn it off at night on a schedule.

Also seen that my Hifi Amp draws a good few watts on standby.

We have recurring argument in my house where my partner tells me I should have turned the LED lights off to save electricity and I tell them to close the curtains to keep the heat in. In truth I have no idea which wastes more energy/money

Going by the top post on the front-page at the moment, Google

Whilst I don't have and direct experience of Rails I get the frustration with how the JS ecosystem can force me to spend a lot of time learning and deciding about things very unrelated to the core of the product I am trying to build. I am quite excited to try out Redwood JS though which is approaching a 1.0 release and aims to bring that same opinionated ethos that Rails has to JS.

Clearly it is not going to be as mature as RoR for a long time, but as someone who knows enough JS to be dangerous it looks like an appealing option, especially when faced with having to learn an entirely new language.

That worked very well for my very rural Cornwall location too, impressive. As with most of these services was completely mislead by the VPN on my work machine.

I'm just here to say thank you for Audacity. It's a fantastic tool.

AOL tried, but their customers demanded better

Chia seeds work well in some recipes as an egg replacement too. Ground and soaked first.

That would be fantastic, a bbc micro strapped to each eyeball

I haven't got the book to hand but have read of Moorish pirates kidnapping fishermen from their boats around the Lizard peninsula and selling them into slavery. If true then the idea of ships travelling directly may not be so far fetched. (edit - in the 1600s though)

Thank you for writing that book.
