Ethiopia becomes first country to ban internal combustion engines: Only EVs allowed

Probably helped by the fact that they have really low amount of cars anyway: They're ranked at 189th out of 195 countries when listed by motor vehicles by capita according to Wikipedia. They have a whopping of 10 vehicles per 1000 people and total of 1,200,000 vehicles in total while being the 13th most populous country in the world.

We Drove the Ultra-Basic, Manual Ford Ranger That Americans Can't Buy

What an unholy abomination of air conditioning that base level truck has: "Temperature control is displayed digitally on the touchscreen, but the base doesn’t have automatic temperature regulation - turning the heat dial just moves a line between blue and red."

So not only you have to manually keep adjusting it, but you can't simply adjust it by the feel, like an old school manual air conditioning / heater. Sounds absolutely horribly to use.

Microsoft toys with new Windows 11 Start menu layout inspired by the iOS App Library

In my opinion the categorized iOS app library is just terrible, because some apps simply don't end up in a category in which I would expect them to be. When the feature launched, I tried using it for a while, but then simply abandoned it completely, in favour of swiping down for alphabetical list, or simply by searching the app by name. As long as this is optional feature Windows, I don't mind though.

There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent

Reply in thread

Some motherboards did have overheating protection back then though. Personally I had my Athlon XP computer randomly shut down several times back then, because the system had some issue, where fans would randomly start slowing down and eventually completely stop. This then triggered overheat protection of the motherboard, which simply cut the power as soon as the temperature was too hight.

Apple Delivery Day - September 22

Pre-ordered 15 Pro Max 512 GB Black Titanium and received it today. My Spigen screen protector and case didn't unfortunately make it to me by today, so also had to get temporary cheap screen protector and case. Best features for me coming from 11 Pro Max: USB-C, better cameras in low light and 5G.
