Can you share some examples?

To my understanding EREV, like the i3 pictured in models with the optional ICE, is mostly driven on battery power with the generator as a backup. It doesn't even provide full power when running on the generator whilst the battery is low. I don't know of examples of EREV without a battery or with a tiny battery which would be classified as EREV but would like to see examples. I know of some studies showing lowered fuel consumption but nothing for consumers.

I would understand your frustration towards EREV in the cases where it's mainly burning fuel as that's indeed not BEV at all.

Did not look thus up, do verify if necessary.

EREV is a BEV with a backup engine. PHEV is mainly a combustion engine vehicle with a limited electric drivetrain bolted on.

EREV powers a generator to drive the electric drivetrain. The electric drivetrain is the only drivetrain and must thus provide the full functionality. The intent is to drive fully electric and have an emergency backup. Markets place maxima on the amount of fuel the fuel tank may carry in some markets (eg: 10L).

PHEV has the dino burning engine drive the wheels and an electric drivetrain. The battery can be charged. The electric drivetrain often doesn't provide the full functionality (eg: it has too limited power and and may be limited to low speeds).

Answer: they're holding up just fine

Parent post may have been a suggested correction rather than an accusation. Hard to gauge.

Check out termux so you can combine the native install with tools such as Git to have a fuller installation. org-roam seems to work. No native compilation but performance is still ok. Also turn on touch-screen-display-keyboard and touch-screen-precision-scroll.

First off, it looks good as it is. Well done! Also, it works and that's the important bit. Some things which help me:

• use equality constraints instead of repeating measurements for radii and lengths
• fillets can be added after creating the main shape, this simplifies the sketch
• if you know this will be mirrored, draw a quarter and mirror the extruded body in part design (you could use multi-transform here)
• use formulas, spreadsheets or reuse named distances if you want to change things later
• make extensive use of the Part Design workbench but sometimes dabble in another workbench because when they click you'll unlock a new set of combinations and turn FreeCAD into a sort of swiss army knife

Congrats on your first model 👏

The whole reason I follow Forgejo is the thing they don't seem to progress on: federation.

We either need to accept mail based patches again and teach a wide audience how to work with that or we need a federated forge.

When federation gets picked up it will be a major boost for Forgejo and the FOSS community.

It is similar in its out-of-this-world feeling but vastly different in what it aims to cover. Both feel like impressive tools from different timelines.

Vim is a text editor heavily focussed on efficient modal movement and text editing. This gives it some weird keys to press but it's very efficient in manipulating text. NeoVim seems more extensible than Vim but I have no experience with it.

Emacs is more like "a system for augmenting the human intellect". It is a Lisp interpreter which allows you to change the system to your needs. Emacs often predates other tools and so default keybindings and naming are often good but weird. It treats most of what it supports as text so it feels like a text editor from a distance but aside from coding and writing prose, you can use it as a mail client (mu4e, gnus, notmuch), to browse the web as text (eww), as a second brain (org-roam, denote), to play Tetris, as a chat client (erc, ement.el), it can even be a window manager (exwm) and much more. It's like a suite of applications, maybe?

Vim users gradually try to get Vim keybindings into all of their applications for fast text editing. Emacs users try to pull everything into Emacs so they have a fully programmable and consistent environment for all their work. A cozy space. Although the debate never cleared on preferred keybindings of Emacs vs Vim, evil mode does bring Vim keybindings into Emacs. Both have a steep learning curve and last you a lifetime.

I have since tried to browse Lemmy on it a few times. The lack of emitted light and terrible color rendition make it more boring. I guess that's the point, a more boring device. Pictures are a problem due to dithering and bad color rendition.

I'm in your boat but I also care about the planet. I know that not doing everything for commuters today, will mean I will not be able to enjoy my mx5 na, 944 and similar in the future.

I think us petrolheads have a choice: make sure as much as possible is turned green or stop dreaming about true lightfooted joy on the road in the future. I'm thus very positive about electric cars because they are great for almost everyone and most fears are just not warranted. I want as many dinosaur burners as possible to be replaced as quickly as possible so 15 years down the road I can step in a Mercedes W123 or old Citroen DS and know where I am by the smell of it.

Just about everything I drive now is electric. The first gen Model S is okay in terms of communication, even though it weighs too much it is mechanical. It is too fast to be fun. The last gen BMW i3 is zippy and quite fun to drive but many assume they need 400km range on a daily basis and it's not that. If budget doesn't matter, I assume a first gen Tesla Roadster should effectively be fun if you retrofit the charger, it convinced many reporters in its day. The electric drivetrain really lends itself to feeling one with the machine.

We should have our voices heard. We want light communicative cars. But we should get as many as possible on the EV train if we want to enjoy our old toys in the future.
