Comment Those reports are mostly fabricated anyway (Score 2) 53

We've all seen video after video after video where the incident report and the body cam video told very different stories. They know they're on video, but lying is such an ingrained SOP they just can't help themselves. Not sayings its all LEOs, but its enough of them than none can be trusted by default.

Comment Cool tech, shit ton of issues (Score 1) 382

#1 is even minor damage totals the car, and that is driving up MY insurance rates, and I don't even own an EV. If you're going to subsidize anything, subsidize repair. Take their burden off my balance sheet.
#2 is the cold weather problem is real. Happened to someone I know. Took the tesla on a ski weekend, car died. Friend went up to rescue them, in a tesla, it also died. They called a 3rd friend to bail them out, who told them no way because I also drive a tesla and I don't want to get stuck too. I'll hang onto my ICE until all this shit gets sorted out.
#3 The grid is in shambles as it is. 2035 or bust will leave us all sitting in the dark.
#4 Lithium mining and waste plus power generation to charge the things is somehow magically better for the environment than ICE? I still don't buy that. Thats a fairy tale.

Comment Re:Macs just don't work for me anymore. (Score 1) 105

In my case the VMs fall into 2 buckets; Windows Server (DC's etc that wont run on arm desktop windows), and vendor supplied OVAs that are often built on some proprietary BSD variant. I'm building automation that targets these things. None of them will run on arm in the foreseeable future, and most won't run on a cloud in any cost effective manner. Any workaround I can come up with involves adding more computers to my go bag or sticking to well internetted places and parking the extra computers somewhere I can get to them.

Or, you know, kick MacOS to the curb and get on with doing what I need to do.

Comment Macs just don't work for me anymore. (Score 2) 105

My personal macbook is a 2017. I'll run it until it dies because I still need x86 vms. If apple silicon is ever fast enough to emulate them performantly I'll reconsider, otherwise I'll hunt down a well behaved linux laptop. Windows can't be trusted, Apple physically can't run my workloads, so Linux is all that remains. Is it 'the year of the linux desktop' again yet?
