We in California have teh highest gas taxes, driving a BEV allows for HOV access, and there are zero issues with public charging. Having a BEV is a benefit. I drove to to work in half the time using the HOV lane.

Good luck getting people in Texas to adopt.

i would love to read this but do not - and won't subscribe to the WSJ.

One of the main reasons I did not purchase a Tesla - aside from the atrocious ride quality - was that it did not have Apple CarPlay. I have all my map locations in my Iphone on either Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze, I have my songs on my Iphone, and I have Audible for books. I simply plug my Iphone into my car and the familiar screen comes up. I have zero desire to need another crappy navigation system from a car maker.

The last television program worth watching was 24. Since it completed, I have not seen anything worth watching. If my beautiful young bride didn't watch English Premier Leage soccer, I'd not even have a television.

Been on Windows 11 for awhile. it is really no different than Windows 10. Not sure I want Bing on the task bar.

Anyone actually use Bing?

The dude has plenty of speed. He should try 14.4 dial up.

Once again, the study is observational. But also, they neglected to look at diet and sugar intake.

plonk!

So, being a Linux fanboi, I had hoped for the Year of the Linux Desktop. However, then Windows 10 came out and fixed many of the glaring issues in the OS. Also, they have Edge - the browser formally known as Spartan - which is fantastic.
Additionally, I use my Iphone and Macbook more than my Windows desktop. They all work wonderfully together. I'm no longer doing system development so don't need Visual Studio or Netbeans.

It doesn't really matter.

tbh, the only Activision game I remember is Pitfall. Never really liked any of the others.

Um, Los Angeles County uses various OSS component in their immense voting solution. https://vsap.lavote.gov/

Have been since 2020.

Maybe I'll go get a F-150 Lighning. I can see electric delivery trucks for local use. Way better in ports as they won't be stinking up the air (looking at you, San Pedro and Long Beach!).

I love these "observational studies" and their "findings." While coffee may actually be good for us, there's no valid information in an observational study. Also, they could have picked 449,000 people with advanced heart disease who drank no coffee and 563 healthy individuals who jog five miles per day an drink copious amounts of black coffee. Also, how did they collect the data? This is just like those bogus fat vs. sugar studies done in the '60s.

It is NOT Covid. It is the China Virus!!!!!

It would be great to have vehicles from the '70s or even early '80s. Except they are not safe, had terrible horsepower, and put out massive emissions. By comparison, our modern cars (and trucks) are way cleaner. I remember reading an article, which compared a third-gen Honda Civic, which got 45 MPG, to a modern tenth generation one. The third-gen spewed way more emissions and was far less safe than the modern one.
