I heard a podcast with the author of this book and the conclusion was similar. He recommends no smartphone before 16. Dumb phones for simple communication can be whenever.

I haven't read the book yet, but the podcast discussion was fairly informative. I think it was Hidden Brain's Escaping the Matrix episode.

Hmm, I've found it quite noticeable. Perhaps turn an FPS counter on and see what it's actually running at. If you have a game showing on both screens, it'll likely limit the fps to suit the lowest display hz.

If the two are beside eachother, you'll definitely see the difference.

That looks nice, yeah prickly with purple flowers is Canada thistle and you don't want that.

Are the purple flowering weeds really prickly?

Nah, probably won't be anything left to burn by then.

The nuances of charging I would say. I definitely think they should've known those things though.

Yeah I usually just follow the "try another instance" links until one works.

I've noticed Invidious instances having trouble recently as well. I'm sure they're not dead though, just need to get the next mouse for the endless cat and mouse game.

I found that even if the salesperson is excited, there are still some knowledge gaps. I asked for my Ioniq to be charged to 100% on pickup (had a ways to drive), but found it was only 70% or so. The salesman said their charger was "too slow" (?) but they'd pay for the fast charge, so he came with me to the charger to authorize it.

My charge request was a few days prior to pickup, so in reality, they could've just plugged the 120v in the day before and it would've been full, and they didn't need to accompany me to the charger to start it if I just told them which to activate through the app when I was there.

Saying that, he was quite knowledgeable about their EVs, just obviously wasn't familiar with some of the more nuanced operational things.

Did he just sue himself?
