  • Yeah, but then you have to use Evolution.

    Maybe, after a few months (or a year, as I may or may not have experienced) of “communication” you’ll be allowed to use Thunderbird. Only for it to be suddenly blocked again later because some dude didn’t understand why can’t everyone just use Outlook.

    And don’t even dream of having a script to, say, sort and preprocess your mail.



  • Recently had an electric Fiat 500 as a replacement while my car (Mazda 3) was in service and I absolutely loved how it drives. Nice consistent acceleration, immediate reaction to the throttle. Much better than the automatic transmission cars I drove before. 3 problems though:

    • range (duh): I often need to drive for 280km in one go, vast majority of EVs can’t do that reliably (with AC and going 130km/h). If you can survive a day on one charge it is awesome though: plug it overnight and you’re ready to go in the morning
    • the price of the car (it felt waaay too simple and plastic-y inside compared to 30K euro price I googled)
    • big brother software on the headunit, although there is no escape from it with any new car these days
