The average car purchased in 2023 emits higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than its 2013 equivalent. This is due to the large proportion of SUVs in the mix, which tend to be bigger and heavier.

I am sure car companies spend a ton of money lobbying politicians to never do this.

15 years of Android memories – When did you get your first Android phone?

Jump

Nexus 7 and Nexus 4 in 2013.

Had so much fun rooting and flashing ROMs on the 4.

Paranoid Android, Xposed modules, PIE controls, all that stuff.

I guess I understand the desire, but I feel the opposite.

The few times I've driven trucks or vans, I felt really uncomfortable, like I might accidentally run over something without noticing it.

also interesting is how few car makers even produce normal sized cars anymore, let alone smaller ones.

Microsoft now demands to know why you just won’t use Edge when you inevitably download Chrome using it

Jump

great response you've typed there.

https://kinsta.com/blog/microsoft-edge-vs-chrome/

Microsoft claimed that Edge was 112% faster than Chrome when it first came out. It’s hard to pin down how accurate this exact stat is, but plenty of users around the web have run their own tests and come to the same conclusion: Edge is faster than Chrome.

For example, Avast tested many browsers and found Edge to run faster than Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Vivaldi.

Chrome also has a reputation for heavy resource consumption.

Tom’s Guide ran a test on this and found that Chrome used more RAM on various tests. For example, with 60 tabs open, Chrome used 3.7 GB, while Edge only used 2.9.
