If you're asking which company specifically, you missed the point.

Not really if you just keep it lubed. I have a BMW shaft drive bike, and I have to change the rear end oil, the driveshaft oil, the transmission oil and the engine oil every year. My Honda just needs the chain lubed, adjusted, and engine oi

So the difference is having pedals? Even if said pedals are just acting as a throttle and not actually making you put in any effort?

Your link proves my exact point. You need some specific one-off gear from some no-name android tablet manufacturer that doesn't fit any other car. LOL@ this thing running Android 12, which was out of support in March of this year... Mu

I think it's hilarious that I can upgrade my 2004 Honda Accord and add CarPlay into it with a myriad of screen sizes and options, features, cameras. There's an entire world of car stereo / infotainment gear out there that is

You break things in F1, you lose. Reliability and consistency is key.

Yeah the average is high, that means there are cars cheaper than that. People are spending big because they either are doing no researchand getting suckered, or they are buying nicer cars for vanity reasons.

It's not that it takes all day to do the work. It's that you get to your "appointment" and they really haven't set aside any time for you. You're just put in line like the next walk up guy.

Yeah those places are super tiny and run by one or two people. Or they are running them under an awning and the whole restaurant is built on a bicycle. Try setting up a bicycle restaurant anywhere in the US and see what happens. You can bar

Oh please. The Ubuntu thing isnt even anywhere close. Also you know that there is more than one Linux distro, so nice try justifying it.

It's not a legit licensed copy for you. Sorry. You might as well just pirate it.

Oh so Linux is hard because you have to sometimes use the command line. Then people suggest registry hacks to make Windows work properly. Then Microsoft will just flip your registry setting back anyways. Stockholm syndrome is crazy.

Maybe just don't use Windows and dont write code for it... and especially don't give them $200 for the Pro version, because that is nothing but a signal that you're willing to keep letting him fuck you while you write them a

I don't know how long they are supposed to last always on, but I have done a few always-on displays with cheap-ass consumer TVs. They have always been fine left on for a couple of years. I mean, some of them got turned off on weekends

The community college I used to work at made its bread and butter from foreign students. Super mega rich parents sent their kids there. Many of them drove expensive cars. Community colleges in the US are actually highly regarded in a lot of

The really pathetic thing about this... Linux has had the capability to do this for years. About 20 years ago, I was playing with compiz, and turned on every single effect. Window dragging with transparency, bubbly windows that would snap i

Tram lines are far cheaper than having miles and miles of tunnels in a vacuum. Actual trains can be loaded and unloaded faster, and don't need one driver for every 4 people. In fact, trains have been automated with no drivers for well

I didn't realize they could fit tens of thousands of people in the waiting areas. Those stations must really be something to behold.

I had an exec at a tech company once send out an email with the subject line "Important." All there was, was an attached .docx file, and a sentence saying to read it immediately. This guy should have been fired for this level of i

I was really surprised when I couldn't push start my 1992 Miata. I had the thing rolling down a hill at like 15mph in first for at least 2 blocks, engine was spinning, but just refused to fire. Jump pack fired it right up. I know the b

Yeah it's not totally dead. But they definitely killed what made Android great. Now it might as well just be iOS. Same boring ass phones that do nothing well but install spyware apps, consume content and scroll through social media. Ju

People ignore the system tray so much, because it is so full of garbage, that Microsoft had to provide a "Hide unused icons" option, and eventually made a control panel to manage which icons you see. I mean I remember when browser

Note that you're likely paying $238 and still not getting a legit copy of Windows. If you don't have a volume license agreement and a minimum of 5 Windows licenses, you aren't supposed to use the LTSC version of Windows, and

I mean... I'll gladly reboot my computer for a network change if it means the rest of the OS isn't a piece of shit.
