    - although magic keyboard with touchID is tempting -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 10:34
- OK, so Apple is leading the charge to turn what was previously free - podcasts - into a paid service? Got it. -- nm - Mop Apr 20, 10:14 8
  - Spotify says hi! -- nm - spamlet Apr 20, 10:15 7
    - Indeed. This is very Apple like in that they watched what others did and then decided to enter the market. -- nm - JD Apr 20, 10:26 1
      - It was pretty well telegraphed when they changed the terminology in the podcast app to follow from subscribe. -- nm - spamlet Apr 20, 10:30
    - I don't listen to podcasts on spotify because I hate the interface. they still have ads on paid spotify, right? -- nm - amanda jeans Apr 20, 10:25 4
      - No. I pay for the service, zero ads -- nm - JaxSean Apr 20, 11:00 1
        
        Wait, if you mean in podcasts, I have no idea. I don't listen to podcasts. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 20, 11:07
      - No idea because I don’t use it for the same reason. - spamlet Apr 20, 10:29
      - ... not that I know of? At least nothing that's ever stood out as obnoxious. But I don't podcast, so maybe that area is different. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 10:26
- That article doesn't seem to have any details as to what AirTags are. -- nm - Mop Apr 20, 10:13 3
  - They are Find My for random objects. Lost keys, backpacks, etc. Like that other tag thing, whatever that was called. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 10:14 2
    - Tile! I was drawing a blank. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 10:16 1
      - That's fine. I figured that's what it was. Just sloppy reporting on their part. -- nm - Mop Apr 20, 10:22
something I realized over the weekend. Subaru's in car tech is called Starlink (emergency services, etc), how does the Musk owned Starlink use the - tRuMAN Apr 20, 09:51 19
- Until today I forgot Subaru still existed. -- nm - Spawn Apr 20, 10:12 6
  - We own an Outback. -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 10:44 1
    - I see them around, but they never look *new*. -- nm - Spawn Apr 20, 11:17
  - How? They have 2 of the top 20 selling vehicles of the last few years. - JaxSean Apr 20, 10:19
  - They're actually great cars. - pmb Apr 20, 10:17

    - Choppers. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 11:06
- *puff puff pass* -- nm - Elon stoned Apr 20, 10:10
- I would argue there are probably enough Sub owners thinking "I guess my car gets internet from Elon?" to cause a challenge, but USPTO decides. -- nm - Max Apr 20, 10:02
- One of them has to change it to Starkink. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 09:56 1
  - STONKSLink -- nm - JaxSean Apr 20, 10:09
- They can both use it, from what I've found. One is cell-based vehicle service tech, the other uses satellite technology, so they aren't "the same." -- nm - JaxSean Apr 20, 09:55 5
  - Yup. The trademark infringement analysis starts by looking at the trademarks themselves (and how similar they are) and the goods or services ... - ReluctantCynic Apr 20, 10:02 4
    - Though the Apple one started out with an agreement that the computer company could use the name as they were never going to do anything music related - JD Apr 20, 10:08 1
      - Exactly. A notorious bit of history in trademark law. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 20, 10:54
    - meanwhile I registered for "ECD" and the govt checker at first said "that's too close to the Economic Developers Association of Canada" - Max Apr 20, 10:07 1
      - There's an analyzer company by that time but that's pretty niche -- (link) - JD Apr 20, 10:10
- I guess there's no market confusion so they can use the same name. It happens sometimes. - Krusty Apr 20, 09:54
- i thought starlink was an independent company? I assume both just use it? (i could be very wrong, of course) -- nm* - Andie Apr 20, 09:52

Super League also expecting players to take pay cuts -- (link) - budice Apr 20, 09:13 9
- fucking hilarious -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 10:49
- So, they’re basically admitting they are terrible at business ... they’ll get more revenue but need to cut salaries...so they are barely solvent (and - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:25 1
  - barca seems the outlier for finances i believe, but I am not sure about the italian teams. -- nm - tRuMAN Apr 20, 09:43
- How very NFL of them. -- nm - David Apr 20, 09:21
- I thought their revenues were expected to increase significantly from the league, therefore I doubt it would be a paycut. -- nm - tRuMAN Apr 20, 09:15 2
  - Well, they spend so much, they’re barely making money. - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:26 1
    - *Eric Andre Why Would Football Do This.gif* -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 09:36
- Lofl. Come play for our cut rate dog and pony show instead of any meaningful competition! -- nm - znufrii Apr 20, 09:15 1
  - I mean, it is more of an exhibition, so they can't expect to be paid their full rates! -- nm - Spawn Apr 20, 09:16
and subaru enters the fray with an all electric suv option. -- (link) - tRuMAN Apr 20, 09:12 21
- Related: Is EV/PHEV charging markedly different? Will I have to install two different chargers in my garage if I get both or is there such a thing as - oblique Apr 20, 09:29 13
  - A single dryer/oven style appliance outlet or an EV wall connector (Clipper Creek is an example) will work for both, but - TWuG Apr 20, 09:55
  - I think home charging is a question a lot of people have about EVs -- nm - JaxSean Apr 20, 09:46
  - It really depends on what charging the PHEV has. If it has CCS you’re golden. -- nm - spamlet Apr 20, 09:41 6
    - We debating whether to 1) Get my wife a PHEV in Nov and then I get an EV in May after my car is paid or 2) My wife drives my car in Nov and I get an - oblique Apr 20, 09:44 5
      - If one is a Tesla that’s different as they don’t use CCS. - spamlet Apr 20, 09:56 4

        Then definitely just got a 14-50 outlet installed and you’ll be good either way. -- nm - spamlet Apr 20, 10:31
        
        There are adapters for just about every type of outlet for the included Tesla travel charger. It comes with the 14-50 - TWuG Apr 20, 10:02 1
        
        Right but if it’s outside he can’t use a 14-50 outlet so would need to look at connectors and what type of box to get - spamlet Apr 20, 10:15
  - I need to figure out what this stuff is. Amy's Bolt has a cable she plugs into our normal garage outlet a night or two each week, and charges. - Spawn Apr 20, 09:34 3
    - Nicely punned. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 09:36 2
      - I rarely use them, but that one seemed appropriate. -- nm - Spawn Apr 20, 09:38

  - lol yup -- nm - tRuMAN Apr 20, 09:41
- Let them fight. -- nm - Spawn Apr 20, 09:13 4
  - strap swords to the car and see who wins? -- nm - tRuMAN Apr 20, 09:14 3
    - That would work. Actually, I am more interested in a race. The car that drives the farthest, wins. These stories that have no idea of range, annoy. -- nm - Spawn Apr 20, 09:15 2
      - I think for like the subaru one, as its noting going to be on the market until probably late 2022 that they dont know yet. but yes, I agree. -- nm - tRuMAN Apr 20, 09:19
      - They do not annoy me - but I'm in a very different position than yourself. -- (edited) - Beryllium Apr 20, 09:18

  - Yeah, I was thinking "promoted". -- nm - Spawn Apr 20, 09:43
- They'll barely get a reprimand, let alone fired. Cops don't get fired for killing Black people, forget about just harassment. -- nm - Krusty Apr 20, 09:19
