I mean, that's my take. Also why you hear a lot of moaning and groaning from enthusiasts when a company who makes well-loved products decides to go public. Enshittification always occurs.

Even the modern GPUs we have now can function at a basic level with generic drivers, and motherboard-mounted chipsets typically handle things like PCI, storage, and other I/O. Those chipsets also support multiple CPUs, sometimes even multiple generations.

This hasn't been the case in 20 years now.

Oh ok, so the B550 chipset in my PC that handles PCI-E, USB, SATA, and supports Excavator through Zen3 isn't real, got it. Same with the Q270 in my Optiplex 7050 that also handles PCI-E, USB, SATA, and supports 6th and 7th gen Intel CPUs; I guess that isn't real either. My bad.

ARM systems are typically manufactured with everything (CPU, GPU, RAM, modem, I/O controllers, etc) on the same die.

This has no bearing on software support at all.

Then why don't you go inform the LineageOS devs that they're obviously doing it wrong.

Not really. The vast majority of PCs are what's called "IBM compatible", based on x86 architecture, which is heavily standardized and backwards-compatible (which is why you can still run DOS natively on a brand new Intel or AMD CPU). Even the modern GPUs we have now can function at a basic level with generic drivers, and motherboard-mounted chipsets typically handle things like PCI, storage, and other I/O. Those chipsets also support multiple CPUs, sometimes even multiple generations.

ARM systems are typically manufactured with everything (CPU, GPU, RAM, modem, I/O controllers, etc) on the same die. Drivers for those often aren't updated for very long, and rarely (if ever) released to consumers for third party usage, unlike the majority of IBM-compatible PC drivers typically are.

Too bad, that long-term users still kind of decide the fate of the company (as shareholders at some point realize that their share probably is not worth it).

Yeah, that's really the kicker, isn't it? Legally beholden to the shareholders who demand short term profits forever and ever, risking the loss of long-term customers.

It's a guaranteed death.

You make it sound like the CEO is a changed man. He's a shitbag through and through.

Because there is legal precedent that says shareholders come first.

You can blame Dodge for this. Yes, that Dodge.

That's not freedom of speech.

Freedom of speech means you can criticize the government without fear of repercussions.

Last I checked, reddit ≠ government

This vehicle is clearly meant as an errand truck, not a roadtripper. It wasn't that long ago when base model work trucks didn't have a radio or speakers installed.

Quit getting pissy over something that doesn't even exist yet.

This is my ideal build: https://www.slate.auto/share/5VXBMW

I could barely make it out, but the tires on this build here are 255/70R17, which are effectively 31" tires. Great size. I was just talking to my wife last night about how I'd absolutely DD an older Jeep Cherokee XJ, slightly lifted on 31s (I used to have a 1998 XJ just like that), but the fuel economy would be abysmal at best. This thing, however, optioned with the big battery, would cost me roughly $10 at most to charge from empty to full, which is really nice.

The lack of AWD is a bummer, but not entirely a deal-breaker. I'd absolutely rock this little thing on some of the local 4WD trails.

It's smaller than the Hyundai Santa Cruz; my dad has one of those, and it's not very big (smaller than a Ranger).

This truck is positively tiny.

I want one.

Luckily you can add a hardtop and seats (and airbags!) to the rear to make it into an SUV. Appears to be a modular design.

I would seriously consider this little thing if 1) it actually happens at that price point and 2) retains this modular design (lmao)

Though I would prefer an AWD option. I do like to take my vehicles off-road...

Speakers are optional. I built one on their site. Speakers are available.

Glad to be of assistance. May I offer you TOTO's Extra Platinum Plus subscription tier that helps handle non-standard bodily waste, at only $7.99/mo for 24 months...

Oh my god dude.

Look, I get it. But if it was that easy, don't you think the devs would have implemented that already?

Why don't you hop over to their repos and start contributing?

New ovens will only reach 280°F. But if you subscribe to LG Baking™ Plus™ plan for only $5.99*/mo, you can unlock up to 340°F for all of your essential^† baking needs! But wait, if you subscribe to LG Baking™ Plus™ Premium tier for an additional $8.99**/mo, you can unlock up to 425°F and a 20 minute timer!

^{* introductory rate for new customers only, 2 year contract required, promotion ends after 1 year and increases to $24.99/mo billed annually}

^{** promotional rate only, 5 year contract required, promotion ends after 2 years and increases to $89.99/mo, billed annually}

^{† "essential" is defined as items that qualify as food items that require up to 325°F. upon sensing electronic items (batteries, circuit boards, and other non-food items), the contract will be terminated immediately and any funds allocated will be forfeited to LG and its subsidiaries}

I literally explained why it matters. SoC hardware varies too much, and they aren't standardized like PCs are. It's not as simple as you think. It should be, but in reality it's not.

The "PC" got its start as "IBM-compatible", which is what PCs that we know and love today are still based on. It's a standardized architecture, CPUs are all x86-based, and there are a lot of common drivers (HID devices like mouse & keyboard, generic gfx drivers that can run most GPUs at a basic level, etc).

ARM isn't standardized like PCs are. That's where the disconnect is. There are no "generic" drivers for things like modems, chipsets, graphics, etc. like there are on PCs. And there are literally thousands of ARM phones running all sorts of varying hardware that use proprietary driver from the manufacturer that may or may not ever be updated.

I can see 10-20GB/month for a single person being fairly reasonable if they steam music or something a lot while out and about.

Which a lot of people do. And videos. And play games.

My household usage is well over 2TB/mo. It's not unrealistic to expect individual usage to be fairly high outside if the house.

Because they can. I have the same gripe.
