Where I live all last mile cables are single and we have a great up time like >99.9%.
But it's not as good as the power supply at 99.99963%
When it does go wrong it's fixed fast and efficient, in the mean time the desperate can use the 5G dongle in the modem/router.
So get your local authority to work for their tax paying voters.

Comment Incompatibilities (Score 1) 150

I use Firefox as my main browser.

I can't uninstall Chrome though, because so many sites break on Firefox (and like major sites too, like Gencon's website or really annoying things like hotel wifi login sites) I have to keep Chrome around to keep my computer usable.

I don't care about Pocket or these other useless things. All I want from Firefox is for them to figure out why their tech stack is incompatible with Chrome and fix it. Even if it's not standards compatible. Make a compatibility layer so I can uninstall Chrome spyware.

Aren't long haul wires for electrical infrastructure made of steel reinforced aluminum? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Why bring up copper tariffs?

Um - on a geek site I would expect that readers would be familiar with the huge role copper plays in the grid. If you don't know this, jfgi.

For the record if you are a salaried employee they can make you work as much as they want for the same pay and your only recourse is to quit

I am a full professor, and at my school apparently I could be assigned any menial task if I cannot reach my teaching load. This is a real issue as we are all being forced to 4/4 from 3/3 next year, as the school canned our research releases.

Comment Re:A perfect example of disconnect (Score 2) 49

When we were thinking about this project, we thought that AI will improve [consumers' willingness to buy] because everyone is promoting AI in their products

This is a great example of the complete disconnect that exists between the intellectual class and the population in general. .

Professors of marketing and management are not intellectuals. They are ultimately shills for the commercial world, as we see here. Their biggest concern is to shift more widgets.

What is wrong with Nissan?
Since a good 2½ years I have an Ariya and it's done over 50,000 kms, after some initial teething problems an OTA update fixed them and all is great.
For good measure, I've had other Nissan’s like the 350Z and 370Z, they were more reliable than the Porsches I drove before.
