Specifically Native American Alaskans (i.e. those with a tribal ID)

Alaska's healthcare system kinda works like that, but only for Alaska Natives.

I'm admittedly not much of a networking expert, but you might be able to improve your existing network by running Ethernet backhaul for your mesh network (assuming your access points support it).

Regarding whether you would benefit from a router like that: I've only got a 25Mbps connection, so my main use case for it is using ZeroTier to access various services on my local network, more advanced firewall controls, and the dual 2.5G Ethernet ports for connection between my main PC and home server.

I recently switched from my ISP's combo device to a GL-inet Flint 2 (https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt6000/);;) no complaints with it thus far, and I've enjoyed some of the quality of life features it's got built into it.

Fedora Server, with most of the services I need running via Docker.

Unlocked, brand new direct from the Google Store. They emailed me a coupon code for being on the Google Assistant mailing list that gave me an extra $150 off, and it stacked with a $100 discount they were already running (so $250 off total). I'm a self-admitted headphone jack enthusiast, but the price was just too good to pass up.

Just got a Pixel 8 (256 GB) for $510 a few weeks ago. I'm good with that, thanks.

 

"The base model Prologue EX (single motor) starts at $47,400 with 296 miles EPA range rating. With a $1,395 destination fee, the 2024 Honda Prologue is available for $48,795.

The dual motor version costs $51,795 (including dest.) with up to 281 EPA miles range. For the higher Touring package, the MSRP (including dest.) is $53,095. That goes up to $56,095 for the dual-motor variant.

Honda’s highest Elite trim starts at $59,295 (with dest.) for up to 273 EPA miles range. The Elite trim includes standard AWD (available on EX and Touring) that delivers 288 hp and 333 lb-ft of torque. Meanwhile, the FWD (single motor) Prologue variants include 212 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque.

The 2024 Honda Prologue includes standard features like built-in Google, Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, 19″ wheels, and a wireless phone charger."

Looks like an interesting first entry; curious to see what people think of it once it hits the market.

Well, looks like I'm avoiding updates on my Pixel 8 for a while.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

I have to say, I was really impressed by how well the Pixel 7a did. At $400 now, that's a great (somewhat) cheap option for folks, though I do wish its battery life was a bit better...

I've got a Pixel 8 non-Pro on the way, so I'm excited to see how it performs compared to my old Galaxy S9 :P

At this point, I'd honestly be fine with that too. Unfortunately it looks like one of the only ones around that has two USB-C ports is the Asus ROG Phone 7 & 7 Ultimate, which both already have a headphone jack too, lol.

I'd love to see those features in phones today; all of those are basically dead in the US market (Xperia 1 V gets two out of three, Zenfone 10 at least gets the 3.5mm jack...might be some cheap Motorola something that still has a jack, as well?).

Me personally, I could even live with just the 3.5mm jack. The whole argument of "it's for waterproofing/making the phone thinner/insert BS excuse here" falls flat when my Galaxy S9 has a 3.5mm jack and the same IP68 rating as the Pixel 8, yet manages to be thinner.

 

According to Hyundai Europe’s VP of marketing, Andreas-Christoph Hofmann, the brand is developing a cheaper IONIQ 2 electric car. Hofmann broke the news this summer following rival Volkswagen unveiling its ID 2all concept. The VW ID 2all will start at around €25,000 ($27,000) with up to 450 km (279 mi) range. It’s expected to go into production in 2025.

Hyundai is aiming for a similar price for the upcoming IONIQ 2. Hofmann told Automotive News, “Everybody in the industry knows the target of this kind of vehicle is 20,000 euros.”

The new EV is expected to have at least 250 miles range. It will be a part of Hyundai’s next-gen IMA platform revealed during its 2023 investor day. Hyundai says the IMA “is a significant advancement” over its current (E-GMP) platform that will help reduce costs.

I'd love to see something like this show up in the US, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Welcome to the club!

The only game I can’t play is rocket league.

Have you tried it on Heroic Games Launcher yet? I play RL from time to time with a buddy, and both of us have gotten it to work without any notable issues via Heroic.

 

Hey all, hoping that someone else might be able to shed some light on this particularly strange issue I've been experiencing. When playing CS, I typically get between 500-600 FPS and have a super smooth experience.

Recently, after about fifteen or twenty minutes of playing, my game will suddenly have the frame variance spike to 10-20 ms, FPS drops to 250-300, and everything feels like I'm playing at 10 FPS due to the stuttery mess the game becomes. The issue goes away immediately upon restarting the game. Weirdly enough, I have noticed after the issue starts that if I open the in-game console, everything behaves normally until I close the console again.

Any advice anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated; here's the specs for my system:

Operating System: Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.6
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.108.0
Qt Version: 5.15.10
Kernel Version: 6.3.13-2-MANJARO (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-Core Processor
Memory: 31.1 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT
Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
Product Name: B650 AORUS ELITE AX

 

PSA for any fellow Linux CS players out there: the June 20 update to CSGO made the game crash on every launch for me until I disabled the Steam overlay. Not sure exactly what the cause was, but I suspect something with CSGO doesn't play nice with the redesigned Steam overlay.

#cs

 

I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye on the development of this one. A return to actually practical trucks for working people would be great.
