  1. So, Uber asked me if removing UberX (the standard option) would make me sad. They wanted to know if I'd choose a different option or leave the platform entirely.

    In all honesty, that would allow only the newer, eco-friendly vehicles to run around, so that's something. The prices aren't any higher, especially if you choose the wait&save option.

    The downside, from what I've noticed, is that (all???) EVs have ad displays in the back. Look, I want to do my part and reduce CO₂ emissions, but I absolutely detest ads. Plus, I'm paying for my ride. At least make them free, you know, like those awful mobile games that people play in the bathroom.

  2. Your daily reminder that data centres are using huge amounts of potable water and electricity to cool off and power sloppy AI

    All they give back is lots and lots of heat, adding to the already alarmingly high temperatures.

  3. The first time #leftwingpurists fucked us all. In 2000, we could have elected #AlGore. Instead, a bunch of fools and #narcissists voted for Nader, and we got #GeorgeWBush. The entitled egoists learned nothing, doubling down in 2016, and again in 2024.

  4. This Aussie trucking firm switched their fleet to electric last year, eliminating the cost of 30 dirty diseasels.
    They've since built 2 charging sites powered by 4.4 megawatts of solar + battery storage, plus 15 rapid chargers.
    Electric tech ain't slowing down, so come join the winning team.

    Not just swapping trucks. Replacing the whole system.

    🚛 30 BEVTs
    ☀️ 4.4 MW solar
    🔋 10.3 MWh battery
    🔌 15 fast chargers
    🏭 Two fully integrated depots

    No diesel. No fuel deliveries. No price shocks.

    From: drill → ship → burn → repeat
    To: install → store → charge → optimise
