I see a lot of grumbling about hypothetical bug fixes. Personal experience - my Tesla has been bug free, what does happen is the software gets better and better.

Since I purchased my car two years ago, it's gained several features I love and use:

1. Instant live video feed from the car to my phone if the alarm goes off
2. Navigation now has an "avoid highways" option and "search along route"
3. Navigation tells you the weather forecast at your destination for longer drives
4. An easy "low power mode" that turns off all optional features (like security cameras) when parked
5. Added support for Audible and a couple of other entertainment streams
6. Option to automatically reduce AC fan speeds when on calls

There are things I'd like to give the designers a hard time about - more physical controls, door controls that don't confuse guests, but the software and update system is outstanding. Like my phone, and unlike any car I've owned before, the car keeps getting incrementally better.

Will take care of certs automatically. No muss no fuss.

setup.exe /product server works fine going back to 1st gen Core i-xxx CPUs

Sadly, my Core 2 Quad is left out in the cold.

Why is Tesla on the list? Is a car company. How is the entire company that is trying to combat global warming and move to a sustainable future a threat to democracy?

Or are they just talking about its CEO and tarring the entire company for him?

If they hate Musk, X is a more appropriate thing to list. But Tesla?!

It's already +5 Funny and I don't have mod points but if I did I'd burn them modding this up again anyway.

Their usefulness for me finding answers to tech problems has nose dived lately due to SEO shenanigans to get these tech solution pages full of ads to top of results.

Like no matter what error code you search for lately you get the first page full of

"The problem you searched for" [SOLVED] ... then a bunch of pages that say to run SFC /SCANNOW, the trio of DISM commands and if that doesn't work, try system restore.

It's gotten so bad I get better answers if I just append "site:reddit.com" to any issue I want to look for.

The Falcon heavy was also often promised and then delivered way behind schedule.

I guess the difference is no one paid for a Falcon Heavy lift in 2011.

Without RMS *AND* Linus, all the benefits of free "Unix" we have now would have never existed.

It used to really suck when a copy of Unix, even for a 386, was a few thousand dollars.

Congress went to year round DST back in the 70s and people hated it so bad it only lasted one year.

Why would it be different this time?

Well that article was lacking in a lot of details. It'd be helpful to know how the compromises happened.

From all the cases I've read, none of the MSPs had 2FA enabled on their accounts.

I'm old.

I don't get people around my age who are starting to retire and complain they have nothing to do and are bored. My God, I wish I had the time to play the games I want to play.

I just hope by the time I end up in a nursing home they are equipped with decent VR stations. Just plug me in in the morning after breakfast and don't bother me until it's time for dinner. Then take me back and plug me back in again.

Apple already knew they needed to replace Classic Mac OS and had been trying unsuccessfully for years. That's when they decided to go with a pre-built solution and started looking at NextSTEP and BeOS. They picked NextSTEP and Steve brought the NextSTEP devs with him and overhauled both hardware and software in a remarkably short period of time.

But it didn't take Steve coming back for Apple to realize that Classic Mac OS was on it's last legs. The crazy amount of time and money Apple invested in replacing Mac OS, and failing to actually do so, is part of why they were near death in the first place.

These exist, but the amount of text around it makes me think they're unauthorized (it talks about maybe having to reboot the phone, etc).

I'm a low five, but that's not saying much.
