As others said, it depends on if you have home charging or not.
If you can charge at home, EVs are great for commuting, it does require some additional planning for long trips, but it's getting much better.
Also cost to charge at home is 1/3rd or less than cost for gas. Cost to supercharge is often very similar to the cost for gas, sometime even more than gas.

Rentals are generally for people away from home, so EVs for the rental market mostly doesn't make sense right now.

Driving a rental EV right now as main EV is in the body shop. coincidentally. But I'm not away from home.

They are only charging for real world IPv4 addresses. Internal non routable IPv4 addresses will still be free.
  Honestly, that's fine, I don't need many real internet addressable addresses anyways.
Private IPv4 addresses 192.168.x.x, etc, will be free, likely forever.
Even for these cloud database type systems, I'm not sure why you need a routeable address..

Everyone is looking for a franchise where you can tell the same stories, utilize the same characters, over and over again. That is why Star Wars is worth a billion and paramount is banking its future on shows like strange new worlds. If they hit it is easy money.

On the other hand, Amazon is buying rights to sports, which are so extravagant they can only be seen as loss leaders to gain subscribers. It is money down the drain.

Free speech means talking the hood with the bad. Social media is a threat to the powerful because they can no longer control the naraative. Trump and Alito have free access to the WSH to spin their tarns, but what do the rest of us have. Sure we will get stories about fake COVID remedies or how McConnell splices his DNA with tortoise DNA to stay young, but that is small price to pay when the mainstream media is pushing extraterrestrial UFO debris. This is the right decision even if it is for dubious reasons.

I donâ(TM)t know the number of sites I no longer visit. Twitter for one. They want too much money, or become useless, or donâ(TM)t like my comments. I know how to go away.

I know that for some, this is how they make their livelihood. But seriously, most of these, even /., are just toys. Have fun. Maybe learn a bit. Then go and have sex with someone.
