I assume that the relevance is that Tesla's claims don't count for much until they actually deliver. Elon Musk has a long history of misleading people about Tesla. Whether it's embellishment, overestimation of what they can

I know what you’re talking about. IIRC, there’s a page in the OpenSUSE docs or in the forums covering the bad browser fonts. That’s an issue that’s specific to them. Haven’t seen it in another distro in many years.

by jm4 4y ago
It’s most likely not the rendering but the font itself. The Ubuntu font might be the best looking one around. It can be installed on other distros easily. Some have it packaged in their repositories. Switch fonts, turn on full hinting and y

I've owned a few MacBook Pros and I now use a ThinkPad X1 Extreme. I paid for the support plans on all of them. The Macs were generally very good until the generation prior to the M1. That was the worst laptop I've ever owned. I h

It’s considered poor security practice to have compilers or interpreters installed on machines where they’re not needed. Someone who isn’t a developer and is only installing packages via apt (or snap, yuck) doesn’t need gcc.

A lot of people mentioning Debian. Great distro. If you're comfortable with Debian, you might as well check out Arch too. Can't go wrong with either one.

I have FSD and it is a joke. It is so bad I don’t know where to begin. This software has no place on a public road. All it’s good for is tech demos. They are going to kill people who were fooled into thinking FSD actually works.

He certainly has not demonstrated that he's in favor of free speech. He did restore a bunch of accounts - mostly far right trolls - and banned a bunch of others. It's not like Twitter wasn't a cesspool before, but he managed

This is quite possibly dumbest thing I have ever seen written on this site. You are grossly underestimating the DOD, its purpose and its necessity at a time when it is more important than it has been in decades. Obviously, there is waste, f

Not necessarily because the cost increases through increased use by the customer. The idea was to sell hardware at close to cost and then monetize the customer. The likely assumption was that Alexa users would buy more similar to how Prime

If you look at Siri in a vacuum, you're almost certainly correct that it isn't a moneymaker. But Siri isn't in a vacuum. It comes with a device with an average cost of like $1000. It may not necessarily be widely used, but th

Agreed. Aside from the processor, there really isn't anything particularly compelling to me about the hardware. Apple's forte is how they integrate the whole hardware package with good software. The build quality is better than mo

I don't think the entire space is dying. Amazon is having problems because Alexa has little benefit to them outside of direct monetization. They wanted people to use Alexa to buy things and no one wants to shop like that. So they have

I had the same experience and I was livid. I was 4 hours from home and had to rent a car to get back. It was out in a less populated area without a lot of options and it was a holiday weekend. I had such a hard time finding a car. Some less

I've had a few minor unplanned maintenance issues on a Tesla. Maybe slightly more than my gas cars now that I think about it, but not often enough that I'm thinking about it. Each one was handled at my house so it never really str

I think you have the right idea. An large instance may help in the first day or two until you find some people to follow and then it's not so important as far as seeing the rest of the world. The federated timeline has plenty and it wi

I believe that's more or less how it works today, although I'm not sure about the part where they eventually keep the money. The browser essentially blocks ads and rewards users with BAT crypto in exchange for viewing privacy-resp

Opera advertises like crazy on YouTube in videos that appeal to a younger crowd. A lot of paid promotion. I've seen it pop up several times when my kids are watching and they've asked me about it before. Opera was sold to a Chines

Owned by a Chinese group now, which is an issue for some people, especially those who value privacy.

I disagree. I thought the ads and rewards programs were an interesting concept. I don't use them but interesting nonetheless when mainstream web ads involve all kinds of privacy invasion. Blockchain here was actually a good choice for

It’s probably because of the second paragraph. The first is a sentiment many people can agree with. The second paragraph, asserting not only that the U.S. is crumbling but that somehow retired generals working in SA is proof is utterly ridi

Having used virtual desktops (self-hosted in colo) in an enterprise environment before, I don't think individuals are the target market for this. It was a great way to enable remote work from any device while still controlling our data

Manjaro sucks. The thing is, it's really nice out of the box - frankly, it's probably the nicest OOB experience. Their desktop looks great and the layout switcher is cool. I also like the utility that lets you choose different ker

How do you scroll with the trackpoint? I have a ThinkPad and the trackpoint is nice, but I always end up back on the touchpad for two finger scrolling. I used to use scroll bars, but they are so small these days that they’re really only use

He has made a number of false claims about the capabilities of his cars. In my case, these claims influenced my decision, not only to purchase the car, but to pay for expensive options. Although it’s a great car, I feel like Tesla (Elon) ov

I made the same mistake in 2019. $6000 for FSD. The car is an enigma. It is simultaneously wonderful and a total scam. My next one will be some other EV from another manufacturer. I would never buy another Tesla or anything else from Elon.
