What about top speed limiting?

And speaking of which, what about an emergency stop button? They've had a number of self-driving vehicle runaways which could have been stopped with such a thing.

Yes, overproduction is necessary. But it's also waste. And if you get too much of it, then it's unsustainable.

Fine words from a coward.

I don't want anything in the browser that I have to worry about whether it's turned on and spying on me or not.

Anything like that should be an add-on so it can be not just disabled but removed (assuming it's shipped with the browser.)

My pet Firefox peeve is with mobile. It's shitty and getting shittier. Not only does it have a javascript-related memory leak they haven't bothered to fix for many years, but now it's hanging when trying to upload images. It works once or twice and then on the third try the browser hangs. It takes a long time to get through to kill it too so it looks frankly like yet another memory leak.

Same for scrollbar width. Can't even fix that with a setting reliably, have to edit a file.

So you took a break out from complaining about the allegedly unfair treatment of China to complain about the allegedly unfair treatment of Russia? It seems like you only respect fascism.

I had over 230k on my 1989 240SX when I sold it. It had all expected compression and ran perfectly. Got to love timing chains, it had never had any engine work done. 200k isn't impressive from any Japanese car since about 1980.

Mainstream country music has been pop rock with twang and even dumber lyrics (not that pop is typically profound) for decades now. Bo Burnham's country song really says it a lot better than anything else I've seen yet.

The font is a deliberate decision whether it's a bot or not, on which I have no firm opinion. A variety of accounts (how many different people are involved is anyone's guess) have chosen to set their output in monospace over the years here. I think of them like hipsters. Monospace is inferior for the majority of tasks (except arguably for programming, and for a few data processing tasks where the data is naturally columnar when represented with fixed character width) so they're making a decision to make you read their thoughts in an inferior fashion. You could of course override fixed width text but my recollection is that Slashdot uses the classic HTML for this purpose and not something you could conveniently override without affecting other text that you might not want to make monospace. However, I haven't looked at the CSS recently so you might have options there.

I handle it by simply not reading anything they write. As a speed reader I unfortunately sometimes read parts of their comments by accident, but otherwise I choose not to consume any of it. They want to make it harder to read? Fine, in that case I'll pass.

Domestic buyers have to have money, so they have to have jobs, etc etc. They have official unemployment over 5% and among employable youth it's over 13%. Cars which sit degrade. This is more true for ICEVs but it's still true for EVs. And actually it's more true for EVs if they aren't kept charged, but I was assuming basic maintenance (washes, waxes, fluid changes, battery charging) being done in both cases to be generous.

I agree that those two things should happen at the same time. But I stand by the vast majority of AC comments being trolling or worse (e.g. uncreative trolling) and the "feature" being a huge detriment to the quality of Slashdot.

I don't know many people these days, so I'm the wrong guy to ask. However, it's super common for people with fiber to have 2.5GbE to the routermodem. I also live in a BFE county that's just now getting fiber to ONE city, so even if I knew a lot of people, I'd still be the wrong person to ask. But I'm also not representative in general, so again, wrong person to ask.

2.5 GbE is cheap and common, you can find it on $100 motherboards. Switches are very cheap, even managed ones. There's simply no good reason not to use 2.5 GbE.

I have experienced this myself, but I have also experienced the reverse many times. There are also many games that won't run on Linux at all. Most of these have Windows kernel DRM, so I wouldn't buy them anyway myself, but I'm not the whole market.

You don't need to have a monopoly for antitrust laws to apply. Only you brought up monopolies.

And as counter-argument I'm supposed to trust an AC? HahaHAHHahaHahAHhaHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAH
