  • Same vehicle in China costs ¥139,800 Renminbi (CNY) [$19,066 US Dollars (USD)]

    In Europe, €45,000 Euros (EUR) [$46,075 US Dollars (USD)]

    Tariffs aren't the answer, they're building these in China for both markets.

    How Can I Configure Default Size and Location for New Terminal Windows in Pop!_OS?

    Every time I use Super + T to open a terminal window, it's much smaller than I prefer. It's also centered on screen but I prefer it to be slightly off center to the right a bit.

    Is there a way I can make new windows open to my preferences every time?

    Exclusive: Sodium batteries to disrupt energy storage market | Oliver Gordon | July 1, 2024

    Sodium-ion batteries are set to disrupt the LDES market within the next few years, according to new research – exclusively seen by Power Technology’s sister publication Energy Monitor – by GetFocus, an AI-based analysis platform that predicts technological breakthroughs based on global patent data. Sodium-ion batteries are not only improving at a faster rate than other LDES technologies but they are also set to be cost comparable with the cheapest forms of dispatchable power, and therefore enter mainstream use, as early as 2027.

    What are Passkeys and how do they work? | Passkeys allow for a simple, yet extremely secure, sign-in experience. Learn more about what they are and how they work in this article.

    A tech service named Clerk put together a nice breakdown of how Passkeys work on a technical level. I've found many other explanations too focused on technical definitions rather than a conceptional overview or so simplistic they were unhelpful for me. This one feels like a nice balance between not enough information and too much.

    The article is broken down into the sections below:

    • What are passkeys?
    • How does public key crypto work?
    • A practical use of public-key cryptography
    • How are passkeys more secure than a username and password?
    • Clerk supports passkeys [this last section is irrelevant to anyone not interested in the service provided by Clerk]

    Clerk provides some sort of user management service; I don't know nor care if it's any good.

    Every season, the story seems to be the same — the Toronto Maple Leafs consistently perform well during the regular season, comfortably keeping themselves in a playoff spot year-round, only to fall short in the playoffs. This season, though, their regular-season success is faltering. They sit in the first wild-card spot, though they were expected to frontline the Atlantic Division again. Their problem? Depth scoring.

    General manager Brad Treliving was brought in to pilot the team in May 2023, and his biggest priority was adding what he called “snot” or grit. The narrative was that the Maple Leafs were too “soft” to compete for the Cup and that their lack of grittiness was holding them back from postseason success. After all, hits increase in the playoffs.

    Whether or not that’s the case — that grit means postseason success — is beside the point. There’s nothing inheren

    It's mid season and there doesn't seem to be much interest in this community (Lemmy.World/c/Hockey) while Lemmy.ca/c/Hockey seems to be more regularly active. I was going to give it a full season, but I think the trend is pretty clear already.

    #Sens owner Michael Andlauer says #NHL did not advise him of either investigation - botched Dadonov "no-trade" clause or Pinto sports betting incident - before he closed on purchase.

    “Maybe they didn’t want to disrupt [it] to make sure the seller got the best price possible."

    "Why I inherited this is beyond me," #Sens owner Michael Andlauer says of #NHL punishment forcing team to forfeit first-round draft pick from an incident 591 days ago.

    He doesn't understand why it took the league so long to render a decision.

    The Washington Capitals currently practice in Arlington, Virginia, and now, they could end up playing games in NoVa as well.

    near future, the Washington Capitals may be moving on from Capital One Arena and finding a new home in Crystal City.

    Per a Washington Post report, Monumental Sports & Entertainment is meting with city government officials about relocating the Capitals and Washington Wizards from downtown Washington, D.C. to Arlington in Northern Virginia.

    Lemmy is a self-hosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.

    HTTP API instead of Websocket

    Until now Lemmy-UI used websocket for all API requests. This has many disadvantages, like making the code harder to maintain, and causing live updates to the site which many users dislike. Most importantly, it requires keeping a connection open between server and client at all times, which causes increased load and makes scaling difficult. That's why we decided to rip out websocket en

    The National Capital Commission is willing to wait to get a deal in place to build a new home for the Ottawa Senators at LeBreton Flats.

    Tobi Nussbaum, the chief executive officer of the NCC, confirmed after the board of directors meeting Thursday morning on Elgin St. that the Senators have been given an extension on the due-diligence period of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) until the fall.
