  DLLS and similars are nice for running newer games on outdated hardware.

  Sadly it also enables studios to cheap out on optimization, you shouldn’t need upscaling for 1080p medium on a new GPU.

  The tube in the background is probably for the real repaste…

  In Germany, and by extension the EU, we have a website called “geizhals”, which basically translates to “penny-pincher”.

  It is an insanly good tool to find the specific item you’re looking for and where to buy it for the least amount of money. Its got a pretty robust search, and some of the most comprehensive filters I’ve ever seen. When I cant find what I’m looking for using Amazons search, which is nearly always, I use their site instead.

  Only real downside (for me) is when stuff isn’t listed on there. They probably collect data and stuff, but they also provide a useful service in return.

  While writing this I have also noticed that they offer the same thing called “skintflint” for the UK. Maybe something similar exists for ppl. in the U.S. ?

  You sent me down a little rabbit hole, depending on how one defines sedan, the lightest I could find is the Peel P50 at roughly 60 kg. A better fit weight wise could be the Isetta at roughly 350 kg.

  But neither option, including the robin feels like a proper sedan to me, and only the robin really checks the basic requirements.

  Afaik the term “sedan” doesn’t really define the amount of wheels, but I don’t tend to think of a three wheeled vehicle.

  So the first four wheeled sedan style car that came to mind was the Trabant, but that’s still 600kg.

  Idk what the point of this text is…

  Have a nice day, I guess?

  Well, they’d only need enough batteries to cover the distance without overhead lines. So for shortish sections it’s probably fine, just charge while on the powered section.
