I don't know the German market, but I've been really happy with the Kia EV9 for the two years I've owned it. Has 3 rows and gets 2.1-ish mi/kWh in snowy winter and about 3ish during the summer. Overall mi/kWh for the two years has been about 2.8 mostly city driving with some highway and occasional road trips
Started trying out GLM 4.7 Flash last night. Fits in 24 GB VRAM with 64k context window in Ollama and seems to be working well with OpenCode so far! Might have a new winner...
I had high hopes for Gemma4 and for the most part, for non coding tasks, its been great. I really want to find a relatively reliable local coding model though
This is particularly useful in the context of a privacy-respecting paid search engine, where the Server wants to ensure that the Client can access the services, and the Client seeks strong guarantees that, for example, the searches are not associated with them.
I ended up canceling my order and in the form let them know the reason. They refunded me my money and didn't respond.
Now I'm trying to figure out what two actually get to replace my ender 3, currently trying to do research on the K1C and the Sovol SV08. I'm fine with tinkering, but I really want multiple color support
I have an order for a P1S that hasn't shipped yet but am now considering cancelling it and buying a Creality K1C. Anyone have thoughts on that as an alternative? It seems their multi material thing is coming out soon
I can't wait for this. I've gone down a few rabbit holes looking into solar and battery storage, and even just battery storage by itself to replace the generator we have for when power is out and/or to offset peak use time rates. But batteries are really expensive and I've already got a hundred kilowatt hours sitting in my garage.
I'm not sure what you mean by cost-effective resources, are you wondering what things are worth investing into inside of a total budget versus which things you could be more frugal on? Overall I would say there's not a big difference in terms of what to consider differently from running Windows: Linux will benefit just as much from good hardware (maybe more?) as window as will.
If you want to do plex and utilize hardware video transcoding you'll probably want an Nvidia GPU but I've had better experiences with AMD graphics cards in Linux. The best home management tool I can recommend is home assistant, and it doesn't have particularly high system requirements, you can run it on a raspberry pi.
I could never get hardware accelerated video working with Firefox on my Linux laptop, and Google Meet (used for work) doesn't work well ( but I guess I blame Google for that).
I have been buying from HappyMug for years, I do a subscription thing with them that gets me one bag of one of their blends that I picked and then one bag of single origin coffee every month. I'm very happy with it.
Oof yeah that is
I haven't had this issue with the EV9 but I've heard of it

I'm happy to see some meshtastic related news, I got really interested and then forgot about it, but this looks cool
Hoping to be constructive: how do you think search engines should operate? Or maybe how would you like one you consider "good" to operate?
Also wondering how you see something like Privacy Pass that Kagi announced recently: https://blog.kagi.com/kagi-privacy-pass
Oh, I've been tempted. It does seem like a little bit more than I want to take on right now, and I am really interested in multi material.

Would love to have seen OpenPilot form Comma on this list to how it compared.

It looks like they've changed the way they do it a bit they now have these (this is light to med, there's another one for med-dark roast): https://happymugcoffee.com/products/roasters-choice-a

I don't know about natively, but I've played both FFXIV and EVE Online in Linux in the past, and they ran well, but it's been a little bit.
From the downvotes it seems like many people might be this:
It's an XWing! 👍
Yeah, I like overwatch, have gotten my money's worth from it and the steam integration makes it so much easier to run on Linux, so I'm happy with it.
