on EV Drivers Are Happier With Their Cars Than Gas Car Owners: Study · c/electricvehicles · 5 pts · 10dI just learnt this in the last few months.

on Toronto air quality among world's worst as wildfire smoke blankets city · c/canada · 6 pts · 20dFirefighting budget is provincial not federal. Ontario government cut firefighting budget quite significantly recently.
on Brad Bradford has already raised $1.8 million for his Toronto mayoral campaign. Here’s what that might mean for his chances of beating Olivia Chow · c/canada · 4 pts · 23dIsn't this guy the only Council person to have not voted yes to LRT and Streetcar transit priority?
on The Case for Rivian, part 2 (investing) · c/electricvehicles · 3 pts · 26dThat last point all the way. No Car Play or Andriod Auto? Want to use a native app (like Apple Music) on the infotainment? That's a monthly subscription. No thanks.
on Freedom Mobile Survey Asks if Users Would Pay $8 Monthly for Security · c/canada · 13 pts · 27dSo the bogus connection fee is 'gone' and now they are testing the waters with stuff like this? How long before you can't phone people with the $8 Monthly Security unless you also pay for the $8 Monthly Security?

on Feds Want to Drop Requirement for Autonomous Cars to Have a Brake Pedal · c/technology · 6 pts · 36dMost EVs and Hybrids don't have a direct hydraulic connection between the brake pedal and the wheel cylinders when everything is healthy.

on Dawarich 1.9.1 · c/selfhosted · 17 pts · 41dFirst time I'm hearing about this. Looks very neat. I really only have Google Maps for the timeline so I will have to selfhost this and try this out soon.

on Rogers, Bell, Telus tell CRTC they'll keep charging new fees · c/canada · 5 pts · 46dSo we're back to CDMA ESN times? It was only a matter of time before eSIM turned back into bogus fees for the providers. The only benefit I see to eSIM is a thief can't take it out easily. Everything else seems like dealing with ESNs again.
on Walmart Workers Have Won A First-Ever Contract In North America · c/canada · 19 pts · 51dJust hope the employees at other Walmarts can push this through. Otherwise they will likely close this store in a hurry.

on Volkswagen Shuts Down Tennessee Plant’s EV Production at the Worst Possible Time · c/electricvehicles · 6 pts · 117dLikely this is a bigger role than anything.

Gets me to work in back in EV mode. VW really fucked up with their EV strategy.
