I don't know answers to all of yours but the couple I do know...

I'm curious which devices you're using for both the gateway and switching equipment.

This was almost the first thing I tried. It says "No Connected Clients" "Add new clients to see their usage and application data." For fun, I added a made-up client using that UI and there are still no clients. Oh, and the dialog to add a client doesn't ask which "network" to add it to, which is one of several examples of UniFi internal schema not matching reality. (Have fun trying to track down a client that has recently existed on two different VLANs. UniFi clearly has some fundamental architectural problems here.)

Huh, cute. This one is aware of VLANs. I wonder if it actually works well -- given the number of times I've seen UniFi misapply various security rules, I'm skeptical, but it would be handy if it actually works. It would be extra nifty if it worked seamlessly across wired and wireless networks.
I started looking at that to boost my roof solar capacity. It looks like it’s permitted by code where I’m at and now the only thing I’m unsure about is vandalism since my property is against a busy street. Seems like a great idea though.
The wet cloth between the counter and the cutting block keeps the cutting block from sliding / moving on you when force is applied, which is more comfortable and safer.
I cook every day, and I’m also a mechanical engineer, I’ve never understood where the sideways force comes from. I’ve also never had a board slide away from me. Tbh I thought this came from chefs chopping on stainless steel worktop. I’d like to understand.
Even if you're chopping perfectly vertically, a board will slide around or rock slightly. Like say you want to julienne some basil or something with a chef's knife, you'd probably be doing a rock chop, which involves lateral forces, causing the board to slide. Then also if you want to scoop up the food with the side of your knife, like scrape up minced garlic, those are lateral forces too. A wet cloth under a cutting board also softens/dampens the force of the knife hitting the board when chopping, which is nicer on your wrists.
When you chop, you're applying force almost entirely vertically. When you slice, you're applying at least some force horizontally. That horizontal force can be transmitted through the knife to the food to the cutting board, causing the board to slide. It's especially noticeable when you're slicing food that is high, like a loaf of bread, and the cutting board is on a slick stone countertop.
Again, politics aside, I just find the lineup boring. Every model outside the Cybertruck looks like a ten year old car. Even the refresh of the model Y is still reskinning a design language started with the Model S, but with any interesting soul stripped out to reduce cost.
The nerd in me loves the technology, particularly behind the scenes features of the Cybertruck like 48v architecture. In the end I want to drive something that feels like it has a soul and substance. Teslas lineup right now is not that.
OTOH, Cybertruck is one of the only original car designs in modern memory. It’s dumb as hell, but I like it. That said, I have no idea who it’s for, I wouldn’t buy one. But I respect them for designing such a ridiculous vehicle, and for it actually being able to sell, albeit somewhat poorly compared to expectations.
I say all of this as a recent $TSLA bear with a healthy short position.
Yes, and there used to be a time when other automakers did crazy stuff too. Sometimes they sold well and sometimes they didn't. But the variety and creativity was nicer than what we have currently on the market, which is a bunch of midsize SUVs, which aren't good at being an SUV, aren't good at being a car, and all look like jellybeans.
I was quite enthused about the cybertruck when it was announced. A lot of it was using the same material as starship and I was quite into the multiplanetary stuff. Since then with Musk doing nazi salutes and DOGE I'd be somewhat embarrassed to have one.
shorting TSLA is never smart because TSLA investors are not driven by any rhyme or reason. Elon is the greatest salesman to ever live and people have been buying his sh*t for decade+ now. if TSLA was a reasonable company investment-wise I would mortgage my house to short the shit out of it :)
Yeah -- I am of the opinion that TSLA is rather obviously highly overvalued, but the market can stay insane for longer than I can stay solvent so there isn't anything I can do to act on that.
Yep, that’s why I clarified that I am a recent bear. I think that in the next year funds will reevaluate them and we will see at least a 20% drop in price.
It'll never drop by 20%. Either it keeps on growing, or it collapses.
Given that they apparently have no new models in development, I'd expect the latter.
- Their roadmap is just updates to their existing line-up, and vapourware crap that relies on their "Full Self Driving" somehow magically starting to work.
I kind of like it. It's one where the pictures and renderings look cool but IRL it looks like they messed it up. However, I've seen a few modded Cybertrucks with bigger wheels and tires and a wrap that actually make me think it doesn't look to bad. Concerns over build quality keep me away from Tesla as a whole, it looks too cheap to me and I've seen too many videos where things are just falling off.
> It's one where the pictures and renderings look cool but IRL it looks like they messed it up.
That's because they did. The initial plan was for the plates to double as the frame of the car. That's how they could have achieved the seamless look of the renders. Turns out they couldn't make it work for whatever reason and the plates are just on top of the frame.
But I know what you're saying. I give it credit for being out there when nothing else in the auto industry is. Sadly though, its failure will likely further entrench the rest of the industry.
I thought it was a neat concept but I'm surprised they took it directly into mass production. I thought they'd take the design language and make something a bit more mainstream with it.
The matte steel body and the unbroken slope on the front are cool, if impractical. There's something funny about the tray and the featureless non-grille though.
Electric does make it pretty important that the software is unusually good for a car, though, because the software has to compensate for non-ubiquitous charging infra. Tesla does this very well. There are some quirks around charge scheduling and charge limiting that Tesla does really well too. It's not rocket science but software in most "current cars" is terrible.
This is currently becoming a smaller and smaller problem with charging infra growing fast.
I guess it will become an issue again when "car" becomes synonymous with "EV" and there's a sudden spike in EV registration, but who knows when that tipping point will occur.
With every insane X post Musk makes we get closer to where having Tesla on your resume is a black mark the same way folks are judging Meta employees in the other thread.
When the politics are that front and center, it becomes a real liability to the company.
If Teslas were durable, built well, easily repairable, with strong aftermarket support, I would applaud them for sticking with the same bland design instead of endlessly tweaking it like every other car and tech company in a misguided effort to stay "fresh". However the opposite has occurred where Teslas appear to be bland, poorly made, and unrepairable.
My wife thinks they all look like jellybeans. Tesla makes them like that to maximize efficiency, and they’re still #1 on that metric, but people don’t care about that.
Citroen DS, Jaguar e-type, Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, MB Gullwing, BMW 507 and a whole raft of other 50's, 60's and 70's cars look much better than anything that I even remember designed in the 80's. Of course that's just my opinion, but those cars are so iconic, do you have any particular cars in mind for that period which you really liked?
My understanding is that the Lucid Air Pure is more efficient than Tesla’s offerings, but yes, Teslas have tended to be more efficient than compliance BEVs and a lot of other efforts from legacy automakers.
Interesting. I can't see the source for the data in your link (it cites Statista, but that's just a graph and requires a subscription to see the source data.)
Not saying it's wrong (I have no idea, that's why I googled), but would be interesting to know.
edit: but also, you're right that I inadvertently looked at US-only data. I did say it was a quick Google. :) Edited my original comment.
I think the target audience for a Toyota or Honda (boring but reliable car) isn't very interested in the kind of quality control Tesla has. They're supposed to make up for that in other features and the unique style of the truck is part of that, in theory.
IMHO, Toyota did an awesome job of taking the 2004 Prius funny wedge compact eco-nerd-mobile look (which might have been exactly what it needed at the time), and making it look sleek and modern and powerful.
I'm imagining a designer looking at the earlier windshield slant, and knowing they could work with that, and retain references to the iconic earlier design.
Toyota sells the most cars of any auto maker. What ground was lost?
It's clear Toyota has correctly assessed the market. They got it right.
As time goes on, BEVs will be a bigger percentage of the cars they sell. In the meantime they'll keep selling the cars they've got, including their current BEVs.
Given the initial success of the Prius, every Tesla you see on the road should've been a Toyota. (If not something from GM, who has even more experience in blowing an early lead in electrification.)

The people I see with Model 3 and Y are the ones who came from Camrys and Rav4.
Tesla EVs have the most data to support their reliability (at least the 3/Y), and they are clearly very reliable. Plus it costs just as much as a Rav 4, but has tons more torque. And the software is much better even though it lacks Carplay.
I thought that too, and then Toyota wanted $15 per month for remote start and made it seem like they were doing me a favor when I went to buy a car, so I ended up with a Tesla. Ended up not missing Carplay, and it cost $20k less for a car that seats 5 adults and 2 kids.
For those with Midea manufactured units (They white label so many brands) a great turnkey option is this dongle made by SMLight (1) that comes preloaded with ESPHome.
Yes, I use this with my Midea window AC and it works great. Completely removes the need for a cloud account. It's hard to believe appliance manufacturers (and cars and others) are making privacy conscious users jump through such hoops in order to sever the devices they own from the cloud.
Surprisingly well written and just detailed enough to not leaving wanting more or overwhelmed.
I never really got in to ANT+ land with cycling but the couple things I tried I appreciated how easily they paired up.
Bluetooth feels like the obvious next place but with so much momentum behind ANT+ I wonder how long this transition will take.
If I read this piece correctly, is that going forward the suppliers are going to develop their own protocols. They find Bluetooth development to onerous.
It feels like the fitness brands need to come together and shut out the BT SIG and all fitness profiles should come out of that new consortium - which would be a formalising of what Wahoo did with the Kickr protocol.
