> Sorta. They don't actually land, they drop the payload while hovering. So they do need some uninstructed space to drop the package, but not much. Works well in the suburbs and rural areas but awful in the city. What's the pla

Also the drones take up more capacity in the vehicle, as does the charging station, the batteries, the loading mechanisms. And so does the second person. You can carry far less packages now.

Who is gonna take the box off the shelf in the truck and attach it to the drone? Boxes are stacked on the truck and move all around, not set neatly spaced on a shelf that doesn't move. You'll need another robot to do that for you.

What do you consider an in-person company? Microsoft, Google, Facebook, etc may have offices, but half of them are in other countries around the world. Teams are constantly having remote meetings to meet up with their counterparts on the ot

I dunno, we used to sit around the first 10 minutes waiting for everybody to show up. Spend time fucking with hooking up to the sound system and projector...wait for all the chatter to quiet down. Talk productively for 10 minutes, spend ano

Right, my dad could barely use his iPhone, but never had problems using his Ubuntu desktop. He used Ubuntu for like the last 10 years and was never technically-minded. He was a two-finger typer even. Like, click Firefox to browse the web. C

And what stops a PC from doing that? Lots of people on here using 8+ year old PCs for daily workloads even.

That's the problem with the whole concept. Anybody can build a shockingly simple kill switch for $5 and a 5 video on YouTube. What are they trying to bring to market exactly? Cars have been around for 100 years and there have been hund

Honestly, I feel like more people have been infected with malware from App Stores than from downloading and executing shit from random websites. Even Warez sites from back in the day were more trustworthy. Cuz if you download from a random

Holy shit. Am I misreading your comment? It sounds like you're justifying lying and cheating in order to make money.

Well their Windows 365 Virtual Desktops certainly do and they are running Windows 11 Enterprise. I'm sure these will too. Why would they leave any possible revenue source untapped?

You act like they NEED to make every video have 5000 ads. It wasn't that bad before when you watched a short ad. But now they are just shoving them in your face. Go look at how much profit they made and tell me that increasing the ads

Also maybe because Windows is used heavily in enterprise where there is big money to be stolen from finance departments.

But someone who actually doesn't drive drunk, doesn't text, or drive like an asshole actually is a better driver than average. Turns out there are a whole bunch of people who drive better than average. Statically proven by the w

Who are they gonna sell the motors and battery cells to? The only people interested in them would be a few hobbyists doing some DIY stuff. Not like you can just bolt it into your Honda Civic or run them in your laptop. Maybe once the true C

You're right that there's less traffic on the streets in Seattle. But I hate to say it, the scooters are not the primary cause by a long shot. Also, do you really think Uber is gonna pass the savings on to the customers? People be

How do you expect me to communicate my really good driving advice over my straight-piped big block V8 without yelling?

They're horrible for archived data. And in technical ones, they encourage people to post the same shit questions over and over. Meta won't encourage any effort, because effort stops people from using it, so you end up with tons of

I'm less likely to get into one in the first place, because I can actually see out of the damn car.

Trying to think of all the shitty driving I could do without triggering this device... I could easily fly up the shoulder at 40mph in a 60 zone bypassing all the stopped traffic. Could drive down the sidewalk at a 20mph pace. I can still we

The fuck? 1400sq feet is not a tiny home. That's the size of the house I live in. Also for barely more than that, you can just get a manufactured home, that comes with walls, power, carpets, insulation, plumbing, cabinets and bathrooms

I never could smell the pollution in Bangkok. I don't think people in LA could smell the smog. Certainly when we had wildfire smoke here near Seattle a couple years ago, I could not always smell it. Sometimes when it was heavy, you cou

Right I forgot all people who immigrated from China live in Chinatown. All of them. Millions of immigrants, all living in Chinatown in one part of downtown. Fuck you know how dumb that sounds right?
