My issue with “literally” is that it’s become an actual part of the dictionary definition rather than being recognized as merely a hyperbolic use of the word.

I’m gonna get the shit downvoted out of me for this, but the problem with this idea is that insular communities tend to redefine words and then expect everyone outside their bubble to know their new definition. Doing so also robs the language of a word that served a specific purpose, such as in the case of the word “literally.”

Nah, I’m gonna blame JPEG

Oh shit, I didn’t know that about Telo. That gives me a little more hope about it, though it still doesn’t have the same draw to me as the Slate does, Amazon involvement notwithstanding. Honestly, with how simple the Slate is, I’m curious how Amazon would even exert the same control over their vehicles as Tesla does (but not curious enough to want to find out, of course).

Yeah I just looked at prices for LTO drives and it made me wish optical was still a thing. $3500 for an LTO8 drive alone is more than the value of my entire homelab.

The Slate seems like it’s almost there, but the range still kinda sucks. Telo looks promising too, but it has the same vaporware scent about it as the Aptera so who knows if it’ll ever happen.

You absolutely can access it from outside your network if you configure it that way.

Oh yeah, I do remember looking at those too, but iirc they were all still at a significant range disadvantage compared to the model 3. Dunno about now, though.

That’s when I bought mine, and it was either get a Model 3 with ~270 miles of range or a Nissan Leaf or a tiny BMW iQ, both with like 80.

For the record, if the software updates stopped where they’re at today, I’d be fine with how the car functions until the end of its life. In fact, I kinda wish they’d just leave things alone at this point because I don’t want any extra features out of the thing.

This got me thinking that maybe I should grab an LTO drive to use for homelab backups.

But it is being used for train

-ing AI models.

It took me a solid half-dozen tries not to pronounce it “mid-leend.” After that much effort, I decided to let my dumb brain win and go with it.
