@greg_harvey@tooting.ch The amount of times I see posts along the lines of "when I bought this car from the dealer it showed 300 Miles of range, but I've just driven 100+ Miles at 70mph and it's now showing only 100 left." But personally I prefer that, annoyingly my LEAFs GOM doesn't seem to adapt to driving style.

I saw this on Reddit yesterday.

If you use a Dualsense controller on PC, you can get a Pico 2W and flash it to become a USB Adapter.

Provides full haptics and such wirelessly!

In some pretty good news. Brand new EVs are on average cheaper than Petrol.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/apr/17/new-uk-electric-car-price-petrol-ev-autotrader

Definitely a move in the right direction.

Nothing better than the Google Play notices to developers going to spam boxes in regards to the new Verification they're trying to push.

On Gmail / Gsuite....

Twice as I have two Dev accounts too.

@ahnlak@kavlak.uk @revk@toot.me.uk @royalmail@bird.makeup I think I've had it before where the tracking has stopped on RMs site but luckily the code works on the destination countries postal service.

@revk IANAL but not sure if you'd sue Supplyframe or what seems to be a new "Tindie Inc". Both? Both seems a good choice.

@vfrmedia No problem. I think one of the slight differences with this too is it has some wax / sealant too.

@vfrmedia Dual Action Polisher (Autofinesse DPX I think) , I used Koch Chemie's One Cut & Protect as the polish and their matching One Cut Pad. I've also tried and had reasonable success with Schol Concepts Polish and a Chemical Guys Green pad too. Initially I used Autofinesse's 3,2,1 kit but it takes much longer so I moved to a one step instead.

@vfrmedia I ordered mine with some other bits from In2detailing but there's a seller on ebay that sells just the polish and pad for a tad more but includes shipping. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125482922368

@statsguy@mas.to The quirk seems to be because we're on an EV Tariff too. I'll be having a little shop around at our next renewal.

@alecaddd I get annoyed when someone then reports an error and assumes that I must already have 100s of reports about it and wonders why it hasn't been fixed a month ago. Because nobody reported it a month ago 😔

@fedops@fosstodon.org @statsguy@mas.to Out of interest what's your cost to buy it? The main bug is that the energy companies are dropping our export rates, whilst import is going up (around £0.28 a kWh vs the £0.12 export)

@robhawkes@fosstodon.org Out of interest are wind farms where they show them on the map, but not the actual data overlay just that there's no data available?

Replying to

@robhawkes@fosstodon.org Well the map data shows the wind farm local to me (Scroby Sands) but there's not the overlay and it's not in the list of assets either. I presume it's just that there's not the data for it?

@statsguy@mas.to Unfortunately not quite as bad as EON, they're cutting ours from 16p to 6p a kWh. Despite their drop, Octo is looking a tad better at 12p. Yet similarly, both have increased prices.

@wokstation@universeodon.com I'm hoping the greens will stay out of it and the main contender remains as binface. Even if binface doesn't win, if they got like 40% of the vote that'd be enough in itself.
