Comment Re: Just another push for China (Score 1) 179

What about if you had a vehicle with hundreds of trailers attached to it. You couldn't run it on normal roads obviously so what about special purpose rights of way just for these vehicles. You could then use bits of metal to guide these vehicles so the driver doesn't need to steer, just control the speed and brakes. You could even power these things by electricity (provided through an on board diesel generator, a battery system or overhead wires).

Comment Rental EVs are great... (Score 2) 214

I was recently ona holiday here in Australia where someone else on the trip rented a BYD Atto 3 EV and it worked great, even though we were traveling over 300km each way. We had to stop and charge for maybe 15-20 minutes at a fast charger in both directions (the cost of which was apparently included in the rental) but overall it was great.

Comment Doesn't matter what the law says... (Score 0) 66

Doesn't matter what the law says about repairing the equipment, the contract between McDonalds and the franchisees says that they must only use these specific Taylor ice-cream machines and that they must only get them fixed and maintained by Taylor.

Unless you somehow force McDonalds to remove the requirements from the contracts, any other changes to the law don't matter.

Comment Analog safes are better (Score 1) 62

If you want a genuinely good safe, buy a safe with a good quality dial combination lock. No battery to run out of juice and no electronics to fail. And no backdoors in the system that could be exploited.

Oh and you need to buy said safe from a proper locksmith or safe company since nothing sold by a big-box store of any kind is in any way a "good safe"

Comment Re: This is the fault of Windows 11 (Score 1) 199

How is Microsoft "breaking win32 compatibility"? I have many many win32 apps and games that run just fine. And secdrv.sys isn't even a Microsoft thing, the fact that an old insecure 3rd party driver doesn't work anymore is not the fault of Microsoft (although the decision to explicitly block it rather than let it run and fail is on them)
