Listen to the safety briefing. They wouldn't bother telling you if it wasn't important.

Keep your seatbelt on for the entire flight. The pilots can't always predict turbulence, and hitting the ceiling hurts.

There are plenty of good electric cars. Don't buy one with subscription features.

If updates didn't randomly delete user data I'd be slightly less worried.

I managed to get a vehicle to grid (V2G) charger recently. When these make mass market it will be a huge deal.

My car has about 5x the energy storage of a standard house battery, so I can run the house for several days from the car.
A better option is to switch to wholesale prices. When the wholesale prices go negative (which happens fairly often in SA), I get paid to charge my car. When energy prices spike, I get paid a lot to discharge my car. My last energy bill was about -$190 for a month (not a typical month, I got $170 when the grid interconnecter was down for a day, which caused high prices all day).

I've never had any issues with running out of charge, and I don't think I'll ever pay for electricity again.

Thanks for this post. It has taken me down the rabbit hole of new software.

I now have f-droid and simpletask on my phone, sleek on my computer, and syncthing on both.

I have needed a really simple to-do list synchronised between my phone and computer for years, and just didn't know this was an option. I'm very happy now.

Americans always put the month first.
E.g. July 4th.

My motto is "if it ain't broke, keep fixing it 'til it is".
