This is Peak Stupidity.
For a toilet manufacturer, yeah, pretty much.
the End Times are Upon Us
No, it's just the end times for Kohler as they telegraph to potential customers that the engineers have left the building and its now run by the idiots in marketing. No company lasts forever. The inspired leadership there at the beginning eventually ages out. Boeing, Disney, etc. Kohler is no different.
so you're just providing more examples of where you were wrong. politics has been and still is affecting it, just like you keep admitting.
Wrong. You erroneous conflate a trivial influence with actual control.
Not really. Politics is a trivial influence. Hence the big slowdown when the market tried to move on from the early adopters. Science, engineering, and economics will decide when everyone goes EV. Not politics.
you already admitted you were wrong in your other posts (and admitted it here again). No point in you setting up new strawmen now.
Nope. You simply misunderstand.
sure, everyone buys the banned things because they dont' care about laws
Wrong. The politics concedes to economics, consumer demand, and the ban doesn't happen. The new governor not wanting to take the heat for some previous governor's PR stunt.
That is insane. Listen to yourself for a moment.
What is insane, a decades long Linux user saying Windows can be just as stable as Linux? That 3rd party drivers, and tinkering are usually at fault?
No, I am not mistaken. And no, I am not "tinkering" with the system either. I switched Bitlocker off and on again.
Sounds like tinkering. Whole disk encryption generally a set and forget thing. Plus there is the unexplained TPM ran out of keys thing.
That is in no way "tinkering".
That's an opinion.
That is _basic_ functionality, and Microsoft messed it up due to sheer incompetence. But I sense you are arguing in bad faith here, as so many MS apologists do.
That seems like projection. And did you miss the part about dual booting Linux since mid 90s? Or coming out of a BSD based CS program. Ad Hominem fallacy, that's really your response?
I am OS agnostic. Windows, macOS, Linux. Different tools for different jobs. Customers decide what I target for a particular job, not my personal preferences.
politics doesn't affect outcomes, consumers just decided they they don't want to end up in prison and obey the laws
Not the case here. For example when the California EV mandate day arrives, that future governor will not want the mess created by the public not being sufficiently willing to go EV yet. That future governor will not be inclined to pay the political price for going against the populace over a previous governors PR stunt. The future governor will just push the date and have a long list of reasons to do so.
Politicians will be political, they won't punish the voters they need for someone else's PR student.
Consumers will be overwhelming driven by economics. Which will be heavily influence by science and engineering when it comes to timeframes.
you already admitted it isn't in your other posts
Not really. Politics is a trivial influence. Hence the big slowdown when the market tried to move on from the early adopters. Science, engineering, and economics will decide when everyone goes EV. Not politics.
thanks for proving the point
The facts and figure are on my side, people falsely conflate the percentage of renewables used in power generation with overall renewables use.
so you're admitting now politics affects it. golf clap
Not really. Politics is a trivial influence. Hence the big slowdown when the market tried to move on from the early adopters. Science, engineering, and economics will decide when everyone goes EV. Not politics.
My impression is that these days, it is significantly more difficult to work with Windows, due to obscure errors, non-deterministic behavior, instability and generally crappy and non-helpful diagnostic.
You are mistaken. Windows, and Linux problems, are generally due to 3rd party drivers.
I have been building dual boot PCs since the mid 90s. I carefully select my components. I have had rock solid Windows (well the NT line not 9x line) and Linux as a result. Both equally stable and reliable.
The only PC I've had in the last 30 years with trouble was a Dell Laptop that school chose for me. I dual booted as usual, Linux wifi was unreliable. 3rdparty driver problem.
Regarding your TPM problem. Sounds like you are tinkering with the system. Tinkering can f'up a Linux system too. Linux support sometimes hostile folks yelling "RTFM newb!". No operating system is beyond being f'd up by someone with admin privelages. No platform beyond shitty support at times.
Linux is the most common operating system around (Android).
No really. "Linux" is an overloaded word. Sometimes referring to a kernel, sometimes to an operating system. On Android, Android is the operating system, Linux is the kernel hosting the Android operating system. 70% of Android apps never touch anything other than Android APIs. For the 30% using the Native SDK that exposes Linux, nearly all those are calling POSIX, not any Linux API. You could replace Linux with a different POSIX kernel and nearly all Android apps would not know or care, even many using the Native SDK.
Android is a complete operating. Linux is the kernel hosting it.
"Linux" as an operating system would be something like a complete Linux distribution, Debian, Red Hat, Ubuntu, etc.
you forgot politics
Nope. Politics doesn't control EV sales. Its a consumer decision, and except for a few privileged early adopters politics is rather irrelevant.
Pretty much this, yes.
Nope. I just realize that you having a particular job offers zero information. You statements was an appeal to authority fallacy. Either you can rebuttal with facts and figures from your experience, or you are the one talking nonsense.
They are in it for the money. politics tells us where the money goes. That's why all sides keep crying about it.
Big energy is not crying about oil, they are not crying about renewables. They are positioned to make big money off of either.
With respect to buying EVs, consumers decide where the money goes. And they overwhelming go with economics, not politics. Politically based decisions are a luxury for some of the early adopters.
