I just get petrol when I’m passing. Why would I make a special trip? There’s also plenty of petrol stations around that even if there was a queue I’d go to the next one but these days especially there never is. Most people use pay at the pump now so they’re in and out within a minute.
I never make special trips for petrol, nor do I ever have to wait to get on a pump. I have heard countless stories of EV drivers have to wait hours to get on a charging point however.
I don’t want to go find lunch or visit local shops when I have a long drive. I want to be able to get there and back with zero hassle.
A couple of minutes every few weeks is a lot more convenient than having to plan in 30 minute charging breaks into the longer journeys.
Most weekends.
I’m not entirely against EVs but they’re simply not ready for me yet. I think an actual usuable 300 mile range would be enough for me which we’re probably approaching quite soon. The biggest problem though is the cost and complete lack of nice estate car EVs. £10k is usually my budget for a new car and I very rarely pay that.
Quite the opposite in my experience. Those that use a computer for work have a desktop supplied for them in the office.
I never had a laptop through the entirety of my four year degree and the thought of lugging one around to every lecture just seems baffling to me. If I had someone sat next to me clacking away at a keyboard during a lecture I’d be pissed off.
I’d say that’s more of an argument against laptops. If you need the horsepower then a desktop PC is much more suitable. Laptops like the Macbook Neo seem to fit in this weird middle ground where they don’t have the power to compete with higher end stuff and don’t have the pocketability of a phone.
Who is actually buying laptops in 2026? What’s the use case these days? Don’t most people just use their phones for email and web browsing?
Why don’t they start a new leaderboard for amount of tax paid in each country?
I remember WhatsApp telling me I only got a year free when I first started using it but they never asked for payment after that. Maybe that fell in line with Meta buying them.
Oh no! Won’t someone please think of the poor adults that already get paid millions to play a children’s game.
The average consumer stopped using laptops about 15 years ago once phones became all anyone really needed.
Would anyone seriously pay a subscription for a messaging app? As long as I can send and receive messages that’s all the functionality I need and the second they try to charge for that, everyone will jump ship anyway.
I guess Discord Nitro has existed for a while but I don’t know a single person who’s even considered it, never mind actually subscribe.
AV1 is just about getting support and we’re moving on already?
I really hate achievements. I spent so long grinding 360 and PS4 games for the sake of completion. PC gaming is so much more relaxing. Steam doesn’t display any achievements totals on my profile so I don’t feel inclined to get them and just play a game through to the end and move on.
It was like $75 last time I checked when I was contemplating Plex over Jellyfin wth happened?!
NFC payments work flawlessly with Curve Pay. Nor brilliant for privacy but handy for convenience.
I heard the audio quality wasn’t great on this thing due to the lack of a dedicated DAC chip. The Hifi Walker H2 seems like a better deal.
Nintendo really dropping the ball at every opportunity. Life long Nintendo fan here and I’ll never buy anything from them ever again.
