Survey reveals most people are holding onto their phones for a long time, and it makes sense
Reply in thread
Yeah, my last phone's battery was starting to go and I was able to get a last gen flagship for a riddiculous £400 with a £200 cashback from Samusng just for buying it and I got £75 for my old phone in trade-in so it ended up being not that much more expensive than changing the battery. I'd had the last one for almost 5 years before trading it in.

They should be forced to have pedestrian mirrors like HGVs have. They'd have to stick out way in front and would be hella ugly, that might stop people wanting these ugly fucking cars.

xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles
Reply in thread
I think cost is one of the biggest ones especially where I am. You need to have a house with a driveway so you can charge at home as the infrastructure is lackluster. Plus the fact that manufacturing just the steel parts of a car creates a hell of a lot of CO2. I'm happy with my 08 deisel with hundreds of thousands of miles on and I'll keep maintaining it. Who knows, when it finally dies maybe it will be economical to buy an EV? I'll still get to use deisel though. I drive HGVs and I can't see them changing to electric anytime soon. As soon as I leave for the day someone else drives the truck I was in. They do not sit around long enough to be charged.
