in the not so distant future. I guess, Climate Models, for example, will be adjustet for more pollution then.

Yeah, that's what people who are opposing "green" stuff on principle keep on telling, but the numbers don't support that sentiment.

You‘re probably not wrong. Otoh, my gf just received 2 support e-mails form a company, and I‘d swear that one of them is AI generated - but I can‘t for certain say, which one. In that regard I feel like it will indeed waste everyones time.

on the othe hand, it‘s about bringing human remains to the moon, a.k.a., an equally superstitious burying ritual - so, in this case, they might have a point.

That guy is rotating an already idiotic wide and curved screen. He either has very "special needs" or is just pulling our leg.

But it's still "based on an OS much older"

Sure, but isn't the point that if you plan to keep them longer than 2025 then the costs for paid support could be more than a new PC. Although the alternative for Microsoft would be to support an obsolete OS they are not making money from forever, so there's gotta be an end of life phase someday. As long as the hardware is still good, you could install some other OS...

Afaik, this can all be done over the CAN bus of the car.e.g. my aftermarket sony carplay radio gets a signal that i have put my car into reverse and shows the rear camera (that is connected to the radio)

It probably will get scary. We're living in a increasingly connected world where neglects, laziness and greed of the past are increasingly piling up. It's doesn't look like politicians seem to understand that natural events (including people psychology) mostly do not happen on a linear scale and tipping points into cascades are rather the norm than the exception.

Whatsapp - that's the software senior citizens and technophobes use. I wished I could dump it, but there's 2-3 work/kid related groups that force me to use it. Apart from that, everybody is already on signa. iMessage and RCS are virtually non-existent over here.

You're getring old. That was already at least two decades ago.

Why should I load a letter into my printer? I have email. (I've read the comments above, so I know what's it about - but I doubt that even 3% of office workers around the world know that there's a paper size in the U.S. whith that name)

Nah, no surprise here - when you're already manufacturing the most hated printers, there's only one direction left to go. Now, if they abandoned their bloatware, made ink reasonably cheap and opened up their printers to third party ink, they'd maybe make it to "tolerated". (Although, I do have a soft spot in my heart for the Laserjet II I once found waiting for the garbage man. Worked like a charm for many many years and didn't even need a driver)

Yes, it's often a bullshit calculation when airplanes are compared to trains or cars. Infrastructure is usually not factored in, it's about fuel efficiency of a full airplane (which is often the case) vs. full cars / trains (which is rarely the case) and the same distances are compared (although a plane usually flies a more efficient route than land based transport). To some destinations, going by train or car could even consume more energy overall, but all we are told by not the brightest of all people, is that a train is 20 times more efficient than a plane, period. Sometimes it's like even the environmentalists want to keep up their wasteful travelling habits, but greenwash them by condemning planes - while the obvious solution would be just to travel less in general. No matter by what means, unless it's by bycicle or walking. And to stop commuting so much.

Why only softcore? And who watches softcore porn anyway since we got easily accessible hardcore porn with the emerge of greater bandwidths in the 90ies? (I still can remember sharing images on a floppy disk or having to time your jerking off to glacial download speeds)
