I think another challenge for farming equipment would also be the uneven terrain, risk of things coming up and piercing or shorting the battery, and also overheating. The first one can be fixed by installing a metal plate like Tesla did after cars kept blowing up. The overheating part might be a bit more tricky. I suppose an air conditioner dedicated to the battery would work alright.

The other thing is, using it day in and day out, from sunrise til sunset or even later, will probably wreak havoc on the battery health. I know EVs in general suffer from this, too, but I feel like it’s even worse for farming equipment, because you know they’ll get a let of extreme use, whereas a lot of people with EVs might only use it for a commute into the city, or a trip to the shops

One final thing, just based off the farmers I know (used to live in the country), a lot of them, maybe even the vast majority, have no interest in upgrading until they have to. If it works, it works. Anything new might not work as well, and require precious time to learn how to use well or properly. They tend to skew towards the older generation, and emissions just aren’t really a concern. Since EV fires tend to make the news a lot of the time, if they’ve got a perception that getting an electric tractor might cause a bushfire and burn their entire farm down, even if that’s very unlikely, and maybe even more likely with a diesel, I don’t think you’ll find them very willing

(This is specifically in regards to Australian farmers I’ve known, perhaps farms elsewhere are smaller, or farmers elsewhere a bit more willing to take upgrades)

I bought a really nice, high quality, very fast charging and data transfer cable, and there’s one device I own that it will not charge at all. My assumption is that it probably doesn’t have a charging control chip or something else required to work with that cable. It doesn’t work with any other USB-C to C cables I own either. It has to be charged with the USB-A to C cables included in the box

I wonder, would this law also cover if, say, the company manufacturing the toothbrush decided not to supply a power cord with the dock, and just stuck some proprietary cable port on it (not even a DC barrel jack or anything like that)?

For anybody here in the future: whatever knockoff Wikipedia OP linked to has died. You can find this quote on the regular Wikipedia page for it, under the clinical significance tab

So passionate about it you said it twice!

Lol, I love how even the good Americans are still so into US Defaultism and can’t comprehend that other countries exist.

Idek how people can handle deep diving straight into max volume

Gotta finesse it a bit. Gradually go up, until you max it half way through a song you like and decide to restart it

Also worthwhile noting that not everybody on the English speaking internet is American ¯\_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

It doesn’t matter how much trump is forced down my throat, it doesn’t change shit because I live on the other side of the world. A little bit of awareness and courtesy every once in a while wouldn’t go astray.

Ugh, same. It really doesn’t help that most of the time people seem to refuse to actually describe their image. We need “TW: Musk/Trump” to become standard for easy blocking

I tried to sign up for a Facebook account (hate it, but market place seemed like my only option for something I was after) and had my account automatically banned on creation. Twice. They demanded photos of my face, which I begrudgingly gave them, and still never approved my account.

I signed up for a new one with the exact same information from my mobile data plan instead and it worked fine, and I never got banned

Likewise.

It’s also only just now dawning on me /bin is short for /binaries. I always thought it was like… A bin. like a junk drawer hidden in a cupboard

I’ve been on the fediverse for over a year dude, but people from Mastodon don’t generally end up on /all thankfully, so I don’t generally have to deal with it.

Oh. Fair enough. I always forget Mastodonians are allowed to interact with Lemmy from Masto

For any Mastodonians wondering why I asked, this is how it looks from Lemmy:

#Why #are #we #doing #hashtags #on #lemmy #now?

One helpful thing I found is that it can skip “non music sections”, ie those cringey silent scenes they put in YouTube videos. If that’d existed a couple of years ago, I probably wouldn’t have switched to Spotify. I mainly switched because I was sick of random 10 second pauses for dramatic effect in the middle of songs, often right before the chorus

Did you post this twice?

Just out of spite, I reckon I’m gonna start archiving your page :D

At this time of day in this part of the country???

Neat, TIL!
