There is also a chance I won't buy a car without knobs. Car software has been historically so bad. My latest doesn't have a volume knob so my front passengers can't turn the volume at all (the UX is sliding the screen from the side to get navigation bars to appear which contain a volume button that you have to drag laterally - no increase/decrease software buttons). Otherwise it's a great car and that is literally the one drawback.

I must be the minority surely, but given the choice between knobs and screen, knobs are the deciding factor. Even if it's more expensive, it's UX that you use permanently while operating heavy machinery!


Yeah, please have knobs. I don't mind a bit of screen, but all the frequent stuff I want in knobs.

Eh...I honestly don't care anymore.

Provided there's steering wheel and stalk controls, what do I really need to adjust on a center console while driving? I just want a big nav map or camera feed there.


This is the problem with the world these days. People just don't care about anything anymore.

Temperature? Music? Defroster?

My 2004 Prius had AC, radio and defogger controls on the steering wheel. I could control all of it without taking my hands off the wheel.

The only notable thing I couldn't do was adjust the fan level if it was on automatic, but I could turn it off.

IMO if you might need it while driving it should be on the wheel or the stalks. Center console? That's for my passenger to mess with only, or for when I'm stopped.


I mean that's probably a perfectly nice solution too, it doesn't all have to be as physical controls on a center console. It just needs to be easily accessible physical controls which I can interact with through feel without taking my eyes off the road. As long as it's not on a touch screen and not those shitty haptic capacitive buttons I don't care whether it's on a steering wheel or on a center console

I honestly don't believe the foldable tech is there. Most I've seen from Samsung, Motorola, etc. are so, so very fragile they don't last the year. I've been burnt and everyone I know has too, I wouldn't have a foldable ever again. I hope Apple figures out some magic hardware but I'm doubtful.


The foldable screen in the Duo is likely to be manufactured by Samsung, although chances are that it will be a heavily customized variant of what we see in the Galaxy Folds


Thank you, the article was so verbose I couldn't get the point just by skimming it. And it was this simple...


It took me a long time to grok what htmx even was from barely glancing at news articles about it every once in a while. If I'd seen such a concise text explanation I'm sure I'd have got it immediately! Lesson learned: go to LLM docs first I guess?


I'm not sure about that example. I'm seeing non tech people getting very addicted to their customized chat bots. Companies are very primed to eventually nudge them to enshittify the content of the responses and it could get bad.


That's reassuring, it's exactly how I've always done LLM. It's fine, as long as the gist of what you mean is there you can be real lazy when typing. And I've always been on the cheapest of plans.


The login page is a very nice reminder to not use Reddit. I have the old reddit redirect extension so this change was the push I needed after the latest very clearly botted hate campaign took over the site recently. Dead internet theory is taking it over, so I'm off to the next moderated social website.


Has a anyone run this on Fedora or similar yet? From the readme it sounds like it could work but I've been surprised before and I can't find a discussion about it.


I've always wondered, is there a way to visually preview the partials and whole pages? I'm used to modern niceties such as hot reload with Tailwind that I'd like to have with HTMX, which I'm looking for excuses to try.


I typically just write them as plain old HTML files while I develop them. Then once I like the look and feel of a component or page I just convert it into a template. And Visual Studio Code’s HTML Preview extension has a hot reload feature, it works perfectly.


Makes one ponder how there really is no moat. If this rolls out as implied, it is immediately easy to switch providers, and I will.
