I would guess they're more interested in the processes and structures involved that allowed something like the plug door falling off to happen. The best way to find the issues is to talk to the people who deal with these processes day

On that note, why is this possible on iOS but not Android? It's even possible to pick up several icons on the homescreen and then move them to a different screen with your other fingers. Android is a nightmare by comparison.

They'll attack Tesla but not traditional automakers or other industrial instances more directly responsible for destroying the environment and contributing to climate change. I just can't with German eco-"activists".

I think people can easily be engaged by complex, messy topics. You just need a scientist who's a decent writer to try. Scientists, academics as a whole aren't trying.

The problem is that it seems like the scientific community has largely failed at communicating their findings to the wider public. Where are the books like Diamond's that tell people what modern science has found about the same topics?

My god, reading some of these comments is like pulling teeth. "But what about...", how about some of these people stop and think about their arguments first before just randomly throwing them into the open? I don't understand

I don't know how aware Waymo cars are of their surroundings. Why don't they have a (or something like a) 360 degree string of LEDs (for example on the roof) that lights up a few in the direction of human obstacles if they're

As somebody who lives in Germany where everything is closed on Sundays, uh, it really isn't that bad. It's fine, actually. I'll take 4 day work weeks happily.

What do you think the money is used for abroad? Helping fight against climate change or feeding the hungry in Africa? No, Putin's regime needs that money outside of Russia to fund useful idiots who further his cause in the US and Europ

Nope, affects several different monitors. It's also not flickering, the GPU driver will crash and stop sending output to the external monitor. At times it's even hung my entire system.

DSC also has the great property of causing my RTX 3060 to crash if I try to watch videos on an external monitor and do the wrong thing on my main display. This issue has gone unresolved for over a year now. HDMI, DSC and NVIDIA can go eat a

What's your point? Russia started a war. NATO feels threatened and this is NATO responding. How is Sweden joining NATO in any way relevant to war "being a racket"?

We're weeks or months away from people using AI voices and videos of themselves in these contexts, if they aren't already. In the end, socializing will mean our AI personas interacting while we scroll tiktok on the toilet.
