I did my part and sent them a “do this and I’ll never buy a Haier product” email. Corporations exist to maximize profits. Communities like ours just have to learn how to make it clear to them that shutting us out will hurt their profitability.
I think we should all be really proud of ourselves. We banded together and, regardless of WHY Haier is doing this, got them to open a line of communication. This is a huge win!
Hell yes! My sister-in-law has your same year but the diesel version and that thing is a champ. It’s rated at 45 mpg on the highway but she typically gets 50+, even with nearly 200k miles on it.
I had a 2004 1.8t Jetta for 12 years but I swapped it for a Prius. I love the Prius features and fuel economy but I miss how damn quick that my Jetta was, plus I loved the interior color scheme.
It’s good for me because I’m piss poor at programming. In my defense, I’m not a programmer or even programmer adjacent. I do see how it wouldn’t be useful to a pro. It also has occasionally given me garbage advice that an expert would spot right away while I had to figure out in my own that it was ‘hallucinating’ again. There’s nothing better for learning than troubleshooting, though!
I use Liftoff and it works great, plus it’s free and doesn’t sell any of my personal data.
That’s just disgusting. This is why aliens won’t talk to us.
I feel like my comments here have received more thoughtful responses than Reddit. I’m guessing it’s pretty community dependent and I’ve just lucked out so far.
This is super cool! The giant OCD nerd inside is going to go nuts while cataloging my entire home.
I keep getting this too! It’s the lamest gotcha.
Yes, I’m sorry my alt on Lemmy.world wasn’t created… Before Lemmy. world existed?
Purely anecdotal, but I have two Facebook profiles. I’m extremely left leaning, especially in the fake one, yet both have their feeds blowing up with articles from conservative pages and groups about this “small town” song, Donald Trump, and Ron DeSantis. Oh, and Fox News articles too, up until I hid them.
I don’t engage with any of those communities or anything even tangentially related to them. I have discussed all of those concepts in groups lately, though.
As someone around before the Reddit diaspora, I disagree. It was very left leaning before with a significant population of communists and socialists. The Fediverse dovetails perfectly with the communist dream: not doing things for profit, but instead for the common good.
Since the Reddit influx, I’d say it’s actually less left leaning. Questions to the effect of “why so many goddamn commies” were not common.
Seconded, I use a Define 7 and it’s fantastic. Best big black box I’ve ever owned.
