  • I assume you mean S24 (because we already have Snapdragon S23 in the US). My concern, admittedly not something I’ve done a lot of research on, is that if Samsung was using Snapdragon for the CDMA or 2G/3G modem, that might no longer be a concern with the networks aggressively shutting down those older technologies. I’m not sure if that was the only thing holding Samsung back from Exynos SoC in the US, or if overall performance or other concerns were factors. However the prevalence of Exynos in the EU shows that Samsung considers it worthy of the Galaxy brand.






  • Who’s your ISP? I’d suspect it’s the ISP treating tethering traffic differently. I notice that on my phone (AT&T postpaid), my phone and tethered computer even get different IPv4 addresses. I’m not saying performance should be identical if they are sharing an IPv4 address, moreso just showing that ISPs can handle tethering traffic differently.

    EDIT: just saw you’re on Orange, oops! I don’t know how they operate, they could be handling tethering traffic differently from native mobile.


  • We have a LEAF, and yeah, if you want a car that can do road trips, this isn’t it. We use it exclusively for driving around town (take kids to school, groceries, library, etc) and for that it works really well.

    At the time we bought (2013) pickings we’re pretty slim. I know there are a bunch more versatile options now. But at the time, we knew it wasn’t for big distances so we didn’t even spring for the Chademo option, heh.

    But that said, you definitely can charge at home a lot faster than L1. We have L2 at 6.6kW (240V), so it would fully charge in about four hours. Those of us with EVs also know that it’s pretty rare to be at 0% and need to get to 100% quickly.

    Glad to see options increasing and more folks going electric!
