I'm not seeing it either... Elon has such vision, according to himself, which is, by and large, detached from what we all experience, henceforth called reality.

Have you ever been in a pileup in a tunnel?

I'm guessing that Elon has never been in a tunnel crash waiting for hours to get out... choking on fumes... I think, he sees his Tesla cars driving the perfect route, bumper-to-bumper, and it's all hunky-dorey. In reality, a train would be better suited for a tunnel... or an elevated track. Cars should remain on the ground, for obvious reasons.

On a separate note, there was this cab driver in the news...he decided to go Dukes of Hazzard one night. The cops said he got at least a hundred feet linear of air on about 10-15' vertical so he was going about 120, at least.

Many of the videos look like they were posted in 2017 --Glad this is the first time I heard of it cause I hate waiting, like most people do... It looks cool, and less-technical people will have access to another tool that will see unique uses never perceived by the creator of said tool.

I just wish I could see the menu system/tools people are accessing for their creations.

Alright, screw you, you jerk! I'm cleaning up trash everywhere because your generation had to have its disposable culture! The ocean has almost twice the weight in plastic as the weight of all the fish in it! We're on the 6th 'greatest extinction', not because of a massive asteroid strike or volcano eruptions, but because of the hubris of a generation that knew no connection between themselves and the very planet they shat all over! The Baby boomer generation was the same generation that blindly followed the mantra (loudly vocalized mainly by business owners and GOP politicians) "you either have jobs or the environment" --something that many in the 'green energy' movement know to be patently false.

And I'm supposed to listen to this Tim Cook guy?? The same guy that can't make an affordable computer (that I can fix/upgrade myself), much less fix their mess of a desktop OS... no thanks.

I've got some advice for you, however, Tim... don't shit where you eat... [my friend]

OK, I think I'll use something other than a Mac.

As Tim was saying, "Push back. It shouldn't be this way. But in 2019 opening your eyes and seeing..."

Let me finish that for you ol Timmy boy... ...seeing that you've lost your core supporters for your desktop OS (superusers), for a variety of reasons, I'll not be using your hardware or software. After cutting my teeth in computing working in a UNIX computer lab, I came to love the guts of Apple's OS X --mainly for its console for basic file management cause the Finder really sucked.

'nuff said.

Which why I was about to say, "caveat emptor," but that really doesn't apply to this situation, by any stretch.

Too bad you can't change your username.

Meanwhile, Amazon notices an increase of pressure cookers and small Mason glass jars being shipped to Colorado addresses.

China is creating a massive database, yes... but I'll bet yen to moon cakes that it's not for dating, though.

Where does it stop? Would a unicorn farting sparkles and pooping rainbows be considered banworthy at some point? Or if I didn't like a cute kitty video??

That's just it... anecdotal data leans towards, mostly, millennials usually using a 'second screen' while the TV is on in the background.

Desktop and laptop sales have been on a continual, downward spiral for some time --probably because mobile can do the most remedial tasks, as well as ones desktop can't.

So these new consoles aren't compatible with analogue games, apparently.

When I was working in IT at my university, we used to call that problem, PEBCAK...

Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard

Ban Fortnite..? It's like Harry doesn't know about Slashdot.

"According to their 10-Year Power Site Plan [frcc.com] that was filed in April of 2018..."

For some reason, this announcement sounds like political greenwashing. The current voter-initiated ballot proposal to open Florida's energy market up to competition would reduce profits to the state-run monopoly.

NOTE: I was actively petitioning for this campaign in Florida for a couple weeks -Floridians all said their energy bills were too expensive, especially when they're seeing relatives in other states with far-lower bills. My water bill in Colorado is 1/10 of a similar residential bill my friend pays in Wisconsin. That last one begs for pause, as Colorado is a semi-arid desert, whereas Wisconsin is right next to the largest fresh water deposit in the world. Seriously, wtf??

I'll offer another film-based analogy:

Dr. Kynes: It's a high efficiency filter and heat exchange system. Perspiration passes through the first layer, and is gathered in the second, Breathing and walking provide the pumping action. ... With a Fremen suit in good working condition, life can be sustained for weeks, even in the deep arctic, sire. With your permission. (motions to Paul)

Dr. Kynes: You've worn a heatsuit before.

Paul Atreides: No.

Dr. Kynes: Your suit is fitted antarctic fashion. Who told you how to do that?

Paul: No one. It seemed the proper way.
