Strawberry has been kind of buggy for me. I don't have an alternative player yet so I am looking for input here too.

Strictly speaking here, something that could be fully repaired by the actual tools I have without just swapping for new purchased replacement parts would probably be one of my guitars. I could essentially make every piece of them from scratch if needed except maybe the pots, caps, and truss rod. I could probably repair the truss rod but making one from scratch would be tricky. If I had an acoustic guitar, that would be an easy answer.

It might not turn out well, but I could make it playable again.

I could repair anything on my bike, and kayak. I might be able to rebuild my snes on a component level.

If you allow replacement parts, almost anything can be repaired of you are willing to spend enough on it.

Currently playing Hot Wheels TURBO Racing (1999) on the N64 (Analogue 3d). It's a good little arcade racer and has been fun to hop back into it.

My understanding is that they either don't meet us safety regulations both for crash testing and ev systems safety or they have not gone through the relevant regulatory steps to get those certificationa. The tarrifs certainly come into play as well though.

Why would you say that is? Not doubting you on that but it mostly seems like they are market priced as premium products. I.E. a Rivian is priced basically like a normal mid to high end suv. A base level model 3 is in line with a mid level camry iirc.

Yeah, I was mostly addressing the immediate reason. The historical ones are way more complex as you mentioned. Now, you have to overcome suburban sprawl and hostile urban development where everything is spread out, requiring a car to use as a direct result of our past shitty choices/lobbying efforts.

Switching to something new usually inherently costs money. (Capital expense) If you are scraping by, you can't afford another $500-$1000 a month car payment for a new car.

The option to convert an older already paid for internal combustion vehicle basically requires another $10k minimum, not including any regulatory stuff and that would be parts cost alone, no labor. Add to that regulatory/local registration issues with the diy route and you basically bake continued demand for fossil fuels into the system.

You can mitigate some of that by doing public transportation but you have to have a functional system AND an public that wants to use it.

This basically means that a large portion of the population who won't/can't buy new EVs. Is stuck using gas vehicles until you get lower cost used EVs. The problem there is that they are expensive to repair and NOT diy friendly. Add to that battery deg and lower reliability (in general see used teslas) and people are scared to buy used EVs.

Its a pricing problem that we have not gotten around yet. The subsidies helped but weren't enough to get more people in. Couple that with a bad economic situation where people are holding onto their older stuff for longer and you basically get only progress on the higher income side while lower income brackets have to still use their gas vehicles which means the producers keep producing and supplying to a captive market.

User selectable from what I have read.

I have not updated past the v1.30 version because I didn't want to mess with potential issues on my server side. Given all this, is there any reason to update to the 2.0.11.2 version?

The reaper came for the red bull number two again, and he is still hungry.

 

I think I may have accidentally pushed some secret combo to set the android system navigation bar and notification bar to auto hide but I can't find that anywhere in the system settings on Jerboa or Android. Anyone run into this before?

Never forget the future that was taken from us.
