Hmmm, It seems to require the WebUSB API: https://caniuse.com/?search=webusb


If the site can detect that it can't use WebUSB, it can give you instructions on how to download and flash the mobile OS, not tell you to fuck off.

Compare: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/tokay/


That's not an installer, that's a device page.

It's the specific functionality needed here that Firefox lacks that makes the /e/ page show the warning, unlike the lineage page that does not have the problem in the first place.


The fun part is that I got to this installer page by clicking on "Check device compatibility" on the https://e.foundation/e-os/ page..

So I was actually expecting a device page, not a WebUSB program..


Okay, that makes your complaint very understandable.


Absolutely. This is handled very badly, and I was also surprised about the bad UX on that screen.


Thank you for the inspiration from your nice and simple real-time API. I made a pass a few years ago on digesting similar GTFS data and you've made me realise how much simpler it could be! :-)


It was also a time before Google demoted "Don't be evil." from their company literature.


I took "don't BE evil" to mean don't let the company image be that of an evil company which already made me distrust them. Once it was gone I knew the death star was fully operational.


This article triggered flashbacks to 20 years ago and using all sorts of crazy CSS to hack the browser to do what you needed it to. Nowadays CSS is (usually) a remarkable land of sanity in comparison.


It was also a fun time to interview. Can you write a CSS snippet that will make a box red in IE5, Blue in IE6+, and is Yellow in Firefox but black in Netscape? CSS these days is no longer an adventure — they just tend to work.


I always grab the CSS reset Also the purple story


Mmmmm, space Kimchi!


In the 70's we started putting Pigs in Space(https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Pigs_in_Space), so now we need the rest of the ingredients for pork and kimchi stew.


Possibly the point is that an individual can not be as easily tracked by first identifying the bus, however most cars are registered to their owners. Nowadays most buses and public transport are full of CCTV though so same problem really.


It's multiple factors I believe, aside from this one here's some more:

- German EV government subsidies were reduced considerably (possibly removed?) in Dec 2023

- Other manufacturers are catching up to Tesla in many areas.


Cause.. Big Oil FUD
