The TCL 50 XL Nxtpaper 5G has a unique Nxtpaper display that is almost entirely glare-free and has advanced reading modes, but the phone falls short in most other areas. It only costs $200, but it has some drawbacks according to our review: pcmag.com/reviews/tcl-50-xl-nx…

The image depicts a person standing on stone steps in front of a grand building with a large wooden door and ornate black metalwork. The individual is dressed in elaborate medieval armor, primarily silver with blue and gold accents. The armor includes a breastplate, pauldrons, gauntlets, and a helmet with a red plume. The person is holding a helmet in one hand and a sword in the other. A blue and gold cloak with tassels is draped over the shoulder, adding to the regal appearance. The background features classical architectural elements, such as columns and a statue, suggesting a setting of historical significance. The person's blonde hair is styled in loose curls, and they have a serious expression.

NASA's Psyche mission is on its way to Asteroid 16 Psyche, but that might not be the only metal asteroid that humanity visits. The European Space Agency is considering its own "Heavy Metal" mission, which could visit asteroid 216 Kleopatra, the second largest M-class asteroid in the main belt. Although it's similar to Psyche, Kleopatra has a small, unique shape with two small moons and comes from a different dynamical family. Heavy Metal could launch in 2036-2037.

LMAO, Tesla owners have been saying all week that the reports of Cybertrucks rapidly disassembling themselves on the highway was fake news.

Turns out Cybertrucks are infact falling apart because the GLUE that holds the stainless steel panels in place can't survive winter temps 🫠.

Can't imagine any other car owners defending the car maker for their $100k+ ride falling the fuck apart every winter.

There's been reports for over ten months and the glue quality not being up to the job. While most of the larger panels do have a few weld points the rear quarter panels only have a few small welds with the majority of the panel actually being held in with glue.

The panel thats giving the most trouble is a 8ft long piece of trim that runs along the top edge of the vehicle. Its ONLY attached with glue.

Viral videos for the past yr have been coming out with a massive rash of them throughout the winter months.

Multiple reports indicate this has happened to folks during rush hour, launching a heavy metal plate into traffic.

This excellent youtube video by a critical cybertruck owner goes over every major body panel which is glued on.

It's clearly possible to rip off some of these panels by hand.

Kinda surprised they haven't started walking off the trucks given how easy some of them come off.

Most panels appear to be easily pealed off part of the way.

So anyways, looks like Tesla has a Q1 quarterly report due out on April 22nd I suspect this will be the first time key investors really come to terms with Elon Musk's Trump antics.

Major investors are already sounding the alarm. I've been around the startup scene long enough to know the VCs are absolutely looking to can Musk. Musk is not gonna be an easy CEO to fire so they'll wait till the very last minute I bet.

Dan Ives published this review of the Tesla stock below 👇🏿

He's a large shareholder in Tesla and suggests that Musk should focus on being Tesla CEO and stop working as part of DOGE and the Trump administration. He absolutely rebuked the "brand damage" of turning Tesla political and specifically called out Trump's Tesla purchase photo op as a blunder for the company.

I think Ives knows Musk as CEO is a now a deadend but he's a big shareholder and wants you to be his exit liquidity.

I really think VCs like Dan Ives just don't understand #TeslaTakedown isn't just a brand kerfuffle they can PR wonk their way out of.

Nothing short of Musk separating from Tesla will remove the stench of that prick playing a central role in a fascist project to destroy the federal government.

These investors aren't Musk/Trump cultists, they are capitalist. They will eventually kickout Musk to try and save Tesla, so I hope the #teslatakedown keeps up the pressure.

in reply to nullagent

If Musk's antics weren't enough, the free market really is not swinging in Tesla's favor like it used to.

All the major car makers have been taking their time to learn the EV market and a LOT of the older companies finally starting to fire on all cylinders with EV strategy.

China remains the elephant in the room. Upstart EV company Byd released their latest lineup this week and get very positive reviews.

On the heels of all this bad news rumours are swirling that Tesla investors and insiders are offloading shares.

Prompting Musk to hold an all hands begging Tesla employees to stop selling shares of the company:

“If you read the news, it feels like Armageddon. I can’t walk past a TV without seeing a Tesla on fire,” he said. “I understand if you don’t want to buy our product, but you don’t have to burn it down. That’s a bit unreasonable.”

During last weekend's Tesla Takedown protests, a Tesla customer was seen exiting a Kansas Tesla dealership to do multiple Nazi salutes in front of a cybertruck.

The Nazicar loving Nazi then tried to get protesting soccer moms with their kids to fight him while claiming to be a former US military service member.

Eventually a woman, presumably his wife, was seen dragging the hate filled Tesla customer back into the dealership.

When the crowd of protesters accused the Tesla customer of supporting a Nazi and possibly being one, the man replied "Yeah!" and did the deed.

The man goes on to explain the reason he is buying a Tesla is specifically due to the anti-fasicst protests and to support Musk.

Original footage of the encounter was uploaded to YouTube.

Reading the details of how and why Tesla is being locked out of current and future Canadian EV tax incentives reveals a possibly jaw dropping attempt by Tesla at fraud.

Canada's iZEV rebate program was winding down unexpectedly early this January. Some how in a 3day span four Tesla dealerships claimed to have sold an astronomical 1 car every two minutes, clearing out the remaining rebate funds.

Can't even finish verifying the fire video before realizing that... over a week ago Canadians reported 80 Teslas at a dealership were keyed or otherwise vandalized.

Overnight 17 Teslas in Rome were incinerated under mysterious circumstances. Authorities are not sure how the fire started but say there's millions of dollars worth of cars destroyed and significant fire damage to buildings at the dealership.

And just like the story in Canada, there may have been additional Teslas torched recently.

Authorities initially reported the fire from a week ago as an electrical fire and not arson as it involved a few different brands of used cars including some Teslas. Now ppl are wondering if the Teslas were targeted.

Teslas may be getting extra hear in Italy due to their conservative Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's close relationship with Elon Musk.

If the brand damage of burning Teslas stealing headlines worldwide weren't bad enough, then today's news that Elon Musk and one of his partner's got into a messy relationship dispute on his zombie Twitter platform X.

It all started when Ashely St Claire posted a video on X showing her selling her Tesla and complaining about the billionaire's fight for lower child support for his 14th child.

Naturally this triggered the Musk fan girl "good christian women" who've been calling the mother of Musk's 14th kid(6mo) a "gold digger" and say she "baby trapped Musk"

You know, just the kinda press a flagging tech CEO wants heading into a critical quarterly report & call at the end of the month.

If an employee of a company creates a public nuisance of themselves that ends up reflecting poorly on the company, the company has the legitimate moral and legal authority to terminate that employee's relationship with the company.

Musk has always been an asshole, but now he thinks he's the ruler of the world, and no right-minded person wants anything to do with anything he touches.

Tesla's saving grace is, Musk is just the money man, not the inventor.

in reply to Gemma ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭 🎐

@gcvsa the problem is Tesla's entire company valuation is built around Musk's grift. Once he's gone Tesla will be just a car company again and it won't be worth anything like its current value, and that's even if people tolerate Musk keeping his stake. If he has to sell and releases millions of shares onto the market all at once the value will fall massively. Current shareholders are in a lose lose situation.
in reply to Flic

@Flisty @gcvsa

Yea I guess the question for investors is do they stoke a panic exiting their positions, and self fulfilling Ives' "black swan event" or do they worry about sunk costs and go all in on Musk.

The middle road imo count's on how many sharks Tesla's top engineering teams and business leaders have. Is there a 2nd in command that can keep investors fired up and want the CEO seat or at least Musk gone?

This is the time the internal politics could get spicy at an org like that

@Flisty I just mean to say that I don't have anything against Tesla as a company that isn't directly attributable to Musk. If they can get rid of him and refocus on building products that are actually useful, safe, reliable, and affordable, then good for them.
@Flic
in reply to Gemma ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭 🎐

@Flisty I am generally against cars, because the word "car" carries connotations of high speed and long distance, luxury and prestige that is exactly what our world doesn't need, but I do recognise the need for motorized transport of some kind, just lower speed, shorter range, smaller size and weight, cheaper, and more recyclable.

The Citroën Ami quadricycle is the kind of car that works for me.

The image depicts a fantasy character standing in a dynamic pose. The character is wearing a detailed, ornate suit of armor primarily in shades of purple and gold, with fur accents on the shoulders. The armor is designed with intricate patterns and includes shoulder guards, a chest plate, and gauntlets. The character has green skin and white hair styled in braids. In their right hand, they hold a large, curved blade with a gold hilt, while their left hand grasps a spiked ball and chain weapon. The character also holds a white mask with blue eye designs in their left hand. The background is a gradient of dark teal, emphasizing the character's presence. The character's stance is confident, with one leg slightly forward, suggesting readiness for action. The overall composition highlights the character's strength and the detailed craftsmanship of their armor.

I am always a little wary of these ‘happiness’ indexes. I think it should be called a contentment index.

I’ve noticed, throughout my life, that
a) real happiness happens in very short bursts.
b) it’s not something done to you, but something you decide to be in the moment. (And often requires us giving ourselves permission to be happy).
c) it has very little to do with your economic circumstances and more to do with relationships with self and other.

in reply to Madeleine Morris

I’ve often wondered if consumerism isn’t the single most significant enemy of happiness.

When we get brainwashed into ‘aspirational’ acquisition or identification, the thing you bought that promised to make you happy always fails you. It’s never the right one, the perfect one, enough.

If I have to identify true happiness in my life, it happens with a cup of coffee, a friend, and a little sunlight. I’m here, with you, and for now, this is perfectly enough.

i guess this is not the ideal email setup yet. i have some questions:
- why would searching through email bodies in evolution block the UI thread? (at first, for like half a minute. then it becomes an actual background task)
- why does fulltext search take so long? when i had notmuch, this was instant. i wonder if i can have the best of both worlds somehow. searching plaintext should not be a hard problem in 2025

in reply to lucie lukas "minute" hartmann

do you connect via IMAP and control the server? if you use server side search and it is slow, dovecot can use a solr backend that makes it fast.

Evolution will use IMAP SEARCH datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/… if the server advertises it. By inspecting the connection string (after CAPABILITY) or just looking at debug output as you invoke a search with `CAMEL_DEBUG=imapx:io evolution` you can confirm it is slow server side search
