I don't see any purpose or reason to be using a shitty on rails shooter. There are realistic combat sims like ARMA which would be a better option.

Educational standards have been declining for a long time. It hasn't just recently gotten bad because of Corona. Both math and English instruction have declined to the point that people like you are making excuses for remedial instruction in college.

The sabotage is intentional even if those doing it don't think they are engaging in sabotage. This is painfully obvious if you interact with the K12 education system.

Parents these days have to more to repair the damage done by professionals.

Wife is as dead now as she would be if she was buried or cremated. What's it matter what he does with his life?

It may be the case that some independent operators refuse to load some random EV into a container with inadequate means of monitoring it. That doesn't mean they can't be shipped en masse with appropriate safety procedures. The likes of BYD operate their own fleets of ships and will ship them to wherever there is demand.

Well Venezuela's administration is evil but that doesn't justify the sabre rattling the US is doing right now which clearly has ulterior motives. In fact, if you were to replace the word "Venezuela" with "Ukraine", the rhetoric wouldn't be far removed from what Russia was saying prior to invading that country.

It's not just auto manufacturing but industry in general. China has stolen an insurmountable lead on renewables, EVs, battery tech, robots and other forms of manufacturing & the resources needed to make them.

Meanwhile America, instead of innovating or competing has decided to go protectionist, using tariffs to stop domestic manufacturers getting kicked to the curb because they suck so hard. That can only work for so long, but after that?

While America was imposing tariffs on everyone, other countries were re-aligning their trade to less hostile countries. China wants to do business and so it gets the business.

I don't think its savviness, simply that Rust's compiler is way more stricter and the language itself strongly avoids things that plague C/C++ programming like NULL, raw pointers, pointer arithmetic, dangling references, memory alloc/free, data races, and so on.

I think there is a learning / unlearning curve since the language can be very frustrating for people used to throwing around pointers or references without regard to their lifetimes but once you're over that it becomes a lot simpler. I think also, making people think about lifetimes also makes them better C/C++ programmers at the same time.

I've written lots of Rust and I've encountered exactly one hard crash - when I was calling an unsafe function in OpenSSL and messed up the parameters. When it happened I searched the code for "unsafe", found the culprit quickly, fixed the problem and was on my way.

The compiler has certainly kicked my ass plenty of times for doing things I shouldn't but if it compiles I'm pretty confident that any bugs there are caused by application logic issues, not language issues. Rust will not help if I meant to spin the motor clockwise and sent it spinning anti-clockwise, or if I forgot to check if someone was permitted to do the thing before doing the thing. For that I need to do testing but fortunately I can also write unit tests with the code it's testing which also cuts down on issues later.

So all in all I'm not surprised developers report higher quality code which goes out the door and doesn't come back because it's broken.

If they haven't already then very soon, nearly identical knockoffs will appear on Aliexpress for a couple of dollars.

... I really liked the Lenovo Duet which is a tablet with a keyboard cover running ChromeOS. You can run Android apps on that but still have a decent tablet experience, and a desktop experience when you attach the cover. But Android on ChromeOS is a super kludge and doesn't even run properly for a lot of apps.

Google shouldn't have even bothered with ChromeOS and instead focussed on making Android tablet & desktop e.g. resizable windows, printers, proper mouse & keyboard support as an alternative or addition to touchscreen, desktop aware versions of apps etc.). But they didn't. While there are Android tablets and some aren't bad to use, they all seem to use some half assed proprietary way of supporting tablet / desktop modes that isn't standard and none of the apps on the store bother to support it.

Or buy a "for parts" busted PS5, whip out the dremel, and mount a mini PC of some sort inside of it.

Even supposing you could hack one to run Linux or FreeBSD, the performance would probably be very mediocre because it's unlikely there is support for the bespoke CPU & graphics functionality it contains as well as other drivers you'd need to make it work properly.

I doubt Sony are subsidizing them at this point in the console's life. Sony are known for iterating through consoles through revisions that cut costs so maybe the first revision is subsidized but subsequent ones aren't. Models like the digital version & pro might have their own margins built in too.
