1·3 years agoI do like those unlock buttons on the door handles when your keys are nearby though… When they work anyways.
My Dad has an '08 Toyota Prius that was gifted to him recently. He loves being able to just unlock the door by grabbing the handle. I tried it out for about a week when he was still getting the tags for it and also enjoyed it.
My '10 Ford Ranger is a fleet truck, so simplified its an XL with zero options. The only “upgrade” might’ve been the seats, vinyl instead of cloth. No electronic locks, no alarm, no electronic windows.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can you easily communicate in your country (business/private life) without being involuntarily forced to use whatsapp?
91·3 years agoWe use whatsapp at work because a majority of people have iPhones, not an issue but group chats with Android users (half of the department I’m working for, myself included) cause issues with the actual texts.
From what I’ve looked into, simplified, Apple is at fault for not properly implementing cross-compatible version of imessage. (Iirc, it’s RTC but can’t quite remember all at the moment)

17·3 years agoSame reason I’m still driving an older truck. While I’ve been wanting to upgrade to a new truck, I don’t want to deal with the computer controlling every aspect of the vehicle (breaks, accelerator, lights, etc.) As it is now, if I want to turn my headlights on, a relay controls it. Same with the turn signal, radio, A/C, and the list goes on

Technology@lemmy.world•TIL there is an fediverse alternative to DiscordEnglish
4·3 years agoBeen just using TeamSpeak with a free license for friends. 32 slots with little overhead on a linode from Dallas I’m already paying for.
They just need screenshare capabilities to move over 100% of my friends

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How is it possible that roughly 50% of Americans can’t read above a 6th grade level and how are 21% just flat out illiterate?

I have coworkers that were in the last few years of high school when covid broke out. They spent all day playing video games or watching Netflix and when it came time to graduate, well… there wasn’t a ceremony or anything. They just got their diploma in the mail.
Not saying covid is the absolute reasoning for it, but it did play a huge part in our youth having a hard time reading and writing
