32 bit OS's coming back because no one will be able to afford 4GB :-)

One of the Suburu drivers complained, "something on my infotainment system changed and I swerved and nearly crashed my car." Holy $4|7 how did that driver get a license ?
I'd worry more about whose behind the wheel and what they are thinking about besides driving.

I like my SiriusXM. I listen on the road, on my mobile EVERYWHERE else. 300+ stations that I can listen to knowing that the artists are actually getting a piece of my $$$, unlike any other modern platform. SiriusXM is better for the musicians than anything but buying CD's and merch from a show. It also has artist based stations for ANYONE I can think of. I also found that I actually enjoy a curated selection by someone else who knows music. It is hard to hear new stuff from my MP3 collection. Many of the XMSirius DJ's are musicians that broadcast from the road. I drive alot and having to not change stations all the time is a joy.
It is not cheap but I derive an enormous amount of pleasure from SiriusXM.

I'm in Arizona, USA. If I stick to 65 mph I get run over in the right(slow) lane. You have to top 80 mph to get into the passing lane(left) here. I see 75% giant duallie trucks pulling 5th wheelers, loaded with ATV's/ sand rails/side-by-sides and motor bikes. All of these running on AV. gas. Hell, they still burn in the fields here...Air quality is job 19.

That's ex-post facto bs. Why is it that people are having such a ard time accepting reality on this? When people have to fight this hard over their "thing" to the point of demonizing anyone who thinks differentely or ask any questions about it it typically means they are wrong, don't actually understand their position and hold it as part of groupthink, or are straight up lying. Which one are you doing?

You are part of the problem. This attitude is not only damaging to your own preferred position/understanding but it's also not how science works or should work beause someone asked a question you didn't like.

Was "we're going to have an ice age because of pollution" in the 70s an outlier or broadly agreed upon "scientific consensus"? Yeah, I thought so.

There is very obviously something going on with the climate but there is also very obviously something going on with the peer review system. And a bunch of people green grifting, causing conflicts of interests and perverse incentives. It's very difficult for someone not in the field but with enough intelligence and intellectual curiosity to simply accept the current version of this consensus.

Add to that zealotry of the "correct" opinion-havers on this whereby you're literally hitler if you don't fall in line and believe unconditionally.

My civic...all gas...gets 34.8 on ave now. I guess that means Honda can fire the dev staff and save some money. AI will of course take over any new requirements...

Crucial was always my go-to for RAM upgrades. I'm getting my son some upgrades for Christmas, and when I saw desktop memory prices, I was stunned. It's the same thing everywhere. "AI vendors are grabbing all the RAM they can get their hands on, dramatically driving up the price".

Syria says "Hi".

 

We're the United States. The world's most powerful country. Outside of Russia and China, all countries are "small".

And Russia and China... they have nukes. Attacking them means WWIII. If you think this is a good idea, by all means, run for President on your End Humanity platform.

The overwhelming majority of those people are in poverty and can't afford an iphone.

And?

They're apparently active recalcitrant nuns. Odds are at least one lives to 100.

Life expectancy for an 85 year old woman is 7-8 years.

Given 3 of them, I'd bet at least one lasts a decade.
