@[email protected] think they dropped the lower end card and that config, but not sure if the mid-range price ever dropped.

@marcoarment it’s been awhile since I’ve been a Mac admin. But when I used Apple remote desktop, I used to use the software update command line tool to update servers and you can send the commands to 5 devices of the time for example.

@viticci re the iPhone Fold, I like the name duo but that’s what Microsoft called their folding phone, so I’m not sure Apple would use that?

@caseyliss I ultimately didn’t go for the i4 or Polestar 2 because both are based on older mixed BEV/ICE modular chassis.

But I was so tempted by a Taycan, except living in London and being the only car it felt a bit daft.

@caseyliss @marcoarment oh interesting, how come?

I decided the EX30 a few months back, coming from a 2018 Golf 7.5 GTE Advanced. Loved my Golf, but the EX30 is such a nice upgrade (I did go for the dual motor 😬)

@caseyliss @marcoarment also have you considered the newer gen Polestar 2? The dual motor there is a lot better, in the UK it’s far cheaper than an i4, though range is a lot lower. But given the XC90 already in the family I thought you’d be familiar with lots of it.

@caseyliss @marcoarment re the BMW i4. My neighbour has the single motor M40, and I test drove the M50. The single motor is the way to go if you want BMW like handling. The dual motor just adds such a lump to the front, great in a straight line, so much worse around corners. A lot of the reviews on launch said a similar thing.

Speed difference to 60 is about 1.2secs but 210lb of extra weight over your front axle. Like having Muhammad Ali (at his prime) sat on your hood (bonnet).

@imyke @upgrade I was in M&S listening to this weeks SnellTalk and saw these. No idea if they’re similar to the ones mentioned, but made me chuckle as had never heard of them and suddenly there they were.

@connected regarding the increased Vision Pro weight; in the press releases it says “The lower strap features flexible fabric ribs embedded with tungsten inserts that provide a counterweight for additional comfort, balance, and stability.”
