Most people dont need more than a ford maverick which isnt even a truck. However as a hybrid vehicle it is pretty good value even if the longevity is yet to be determined.

Electic motors are unmatched for torque and response time. No debate there but if you need to tow a big ass camper your range is going to suck if you dont have some hybrid config.

If that’s the case that’s great. Not familiar with turbo diesels. I know that the turbo failure rate is non-trivial for regular gas vehicles and the repairs can be expensive.

You hit the nail on the head. If it can’t tow it’s pretty useless as a truck. If someone doesnt tow they probably dont need a truck in the first place otherwise they are better off with a gas model. The unfortunate thing is that regulations have forced manufacturers to implement shitty ICE drivetrains. Everything is a turbo now which is “more efficient” but there is no way they will last as long as the naturally aspirated V6 or V8s that would go for 400-500k miles.

EV trucks will never make sense. Hybrids can but I have yet to see anything I would buy.

It has some application in technical writing, data transformation and querying/summarization but it is definitely being oversold.

…so it’s like it was during the hunter biden laptop story and covid?

Someone needs to make a browser extension that hides any article with “experts say” in the title

To be clear I wouldn’t give them my money even if they did offer all the same features.

it just freeloads

I watch a number of creators that YT has demonetized so I’m not worried about it.

YT can clearly see what people want in these apps. They simply need to provide the exact same functionality and set a price. They won’t though because they want control and data as well.

Youtube Premium offers a fraction of the benefits of something like Newpipe.

They aren’t. Vaultwarden is the selfhosted version.

They will have to rip Bitwarden (soon Vaultwarden) from my cold dead hands.
