   Life is full of moments like that. For example on your way to work that same morning, had you left your house 30 seconds later than you did, someone might have had to wait at an intersection longer than they otherwise would have, causing th

   Part of their magic is the integration with the operating system in the form of gestures. Their UI for discovering those used to be stellar; every gesture had a little video preview. Right now I'd describe it as just okay. Check the &#

   I’ve been running a Matrix server for about two years on a Proxmox host in a colo I rent for the purpose (plus some other hobby stuff, but mainly because I just think it’s cool). This playbook is awesome and it’s pretty easy to set up and k

    I picked up a PS5 today on a Black Friday deal for 350EUR. 32GB DDR5 is at around 280EUR at the moment. I have a gaming PC, it runs Linux because (speaking as a Microsoft sysadmin with 10 years under my belt) I hate what Windows has become,

    I take your point, but the audio engineering on the laptop and tablet offerings of the past 5 years is mind blowing.

    If all you do is start a browser and maybe an e-mail client then for the majority of users it will be like Windows.

    At the minimum it raises philosophical and ethical questions. If something is conscious, is it ethical to put it to work for you?

    In my experience companies tend to err on the side of making money, so they'd probably just fit them and take the risk of a 500 dollar fine.

    That depends whether regulators interpret “intended for use on motor vehicles” as “for road use”. The bill’s sponsors seem to think so: USTMA research shows that more than 30 million used tires are available for sale nationally each year. T

    I had the exact same issue, and Tesla sent out a service rep to my home to complete the adjustment to spec for free. You can request it through the service menu. Haven't had anyone flash me in the year since.

    Finally. I said to my wife yesterday, you know what Microsoft Windows is missing? A resource hogging, ambiguous way to control your computer that absolutely shits all over your privacy!

    You honestly think the audience here only starts giving a damn at a measly $90? This is going in the weird comment hall of fame for me.

    There’s perfectly good LLM’s built specifically to shit out swaths of mediocre code to do that, why would you pay anyone?

    And as a prerequisite enforcing dependency on titanic (and in my case foreign) tech companies that are free to unilaterally ban you from communicating with your government. This is a BAD idea.

    Also I find the default Command-` to be unintuitive, especially on non-US keyboards (` is next to left Shift for me). I remapped Command-` to Option-Tab so you only have to move your thumb.

    The current cost of owning and operating an automobile is around 12K USD assuming 15K miles driven yearly according to BTS [0]. This would push it up to a little over 14K USD. Then there's oil and gas subsidies that should be taken int

    That's not an unreasonable take in my opinion, but then the point of the person I'm responding to is 'let's silo costs and let the market decide' and if we're going to do that, however unpractical, I'd bet
