Windows 11 is causing me grief daily, and the UI is provably worse than it was in 10.

People don't appreciate how aerodynamic cars can be at this time, and have been since the late eighties. My 1989 240SX fastback had an 0.21 Cd. Yeah, the Aptera has a lot less frontal area, but it also has a bunch of stupid shapes sticking out that a car doesn't have to have.

Same for three wheeled car projects. The only time they ever made sense was for war-ravaged Europe trying to get back on its feet and saving scarce materials and manufacturing time by making simpler 3-wheeled microcars with fewer complex parts. It seems like a good idea at first glance, you reduce rolling resistance, you could potentially reduce wind resistance, you save money on parts. But the driving experience is shit; you can't corner as hard so your ability to avoid obstacles is reduced, the three tracks mean you drive through more potholes and hit more other obstacles (all kinds of shit falls off vehicles) that you could have dodged if you had two tracks, replacement of the third tire is more complicated than on a normal four-wheeled vehicle, you can only tow them on a rollback and not with a wrecker, etc.

Three-wheeled vehicles are shit, and any business plan which involves selling them in volume is stupid.

No, only the ones involving determining eligibility for social services that should be replaced by UBI.

Since when did we enshrine unsustainability?

Since when did we celebrate life's purpose being enhancing shareholder value?

You have nothing to lose but the boot you're deep throating.

If the workplace policies and procedures don't prevent certain employees making it toxic for everyone, then it's the workplace, same as how a business which cannot pay a living wage doesn't deserve to exist because it's an unsustainable business model.

Gee, that sure does sound familiar. I wonder where I heard that recently?

I've been compiling software for Linux since I first started running it 1994 and it has never been more complicated than it is today. Dependency changes five levels deep or more and you get compilation errors at multiple levels. Your dismissiveness is unwarranted and makes you look ignorant.

Some of us set smaller limits because we have 64GB in our system and don't want 32GB of tmp if something goes bananas.

If they want to make their machine noisy they should use straight cut gears and omit the sound deadening asphalt. Then it will be loud as shit all the time, without having to pipe in any fake noise bullshit.

Quiet is one of the best things about EVs. Being able to hear the other noises the car makes is actually useful, unlike this crap.

If a more powerful quantum computer can be built, then it could do that. But there's no evidence thus far that an actually useful one can be built.

No, they used to seem etc. I haven't seen a decent black friday deal in years.

This is nonsense, they cannot create a bubble now, because they have already created a bubble. "Some" need to catch up with where we were months to years ago. At least it's safe to predict that something which is already happening will happen... yeah, we know, we can see it.

I used to and might even still have a localtalk to ethertalk bridge. It was made by one of the handful of ubiquitous 68k era suppliers that made everything for macs back then, but I forget which.

BITD I used to run netatalk, samba, and nfs on the same Linux box for a geek house. Everybody could access their homes and a shared drive.

They also made localtalk cards for PCs.

I am due to make another pass through my cables and crap bins and free another one up, I might still have an ethernet card which I think is for the SE. I also have an SE which doesn't boot which has a Radius 16MHz accelerator in it, an 020 I think. I sold the SE once and then the buyer never came to get it, and never connected with me to have it delivered, and that was years ago... I hope I didn't lose it already, but I think I have a case cracker bit as well...

They just ask Amazon, but they can cache results once you're retrieving them. So they depend on people checking prices on things to record any of their own data.
