Most people also don't rekey their homes after they buy them. Shit, most people have remote garage door openers with codes that are their address. That doesn't make it a good practice.

I'd be curious to see the ROA of a 1990's Toyota corolla still on the road today (including maintenance costs) compared to the expected costs of keeping a Tesla on the road for 30 years.

I'm actually looking for an old pickup this summer because we are taking on more house responsibilities ourselves. I need to haul plants, buy and haul a mower, landscaping material. I plan to redo a room in the basement this year and will need to haul materials like sheetrock, carpet, a 80+"TV, etc. I wish I could get one of those little Japanese trucks but they are not legal in my state.

Snow. That's why I own a SUV.

I've owned an A4 and a X5. The A4 was a better car for my life except for winter time. Sure it handled fine on snowy and ice but the problem was simple ground clearance. My X5 has more ground clearance and can move around this winter. My wife's Mazda couldn't make it out of the driveway due to the difference in a clean driveway and an unclean road.

I'd rather not own a SUV, but nobody is making a sedan with SUV height.

I really really want a good plugin hybrid. I want the performance of electric motors paired with the convenience and range of an internal combustion engine. But more than that, I want to use apple car play. I guess I can just hope Toyota keeps making them until I'm ready to get a new car.

This seems like a reason to not use Linux on the desktop. Perhaps a product manger will take notice.

I have 5gbps/5gbps fiber. The ONIT has a 10gbps ethernet port that I run to my router. I then have a second 10gbps port from that to my desktop. I can speed test around 7gpbs on a good day. My wifi is what most devices in my home use so the 5gbps doesn't help the speed there, but it does help with the congestion of all the devices using the upstream (cameras, zoom, etc).

I pay less than the 1200/20 Comcast offering in my area which was usually around 500mbps/20mbps. I love rural indiana.

Can you prove that?

You're telling me that I can't only let BMWs park on my lot during game days?

But there is competition. Not only in the App Store, but there is android. It's not like you have to buy an iPhone. I picked an iPhone because it was a walled garden, it's also why I push it on my family whom rely on me to support them. Now I have to explain to them that these new app stores are unsafe and can 'steal their stuff' and deal with the fallout.

It's stupid, anyone who wanted these things should have bought from the competition!

If you put the trash out to the curb the NSA doesn't need a warrant either. Stop leaving your data in the hands of corporations.

You are misinformed. https://www.macrumors.com/2024...

3rd party browser engines will be allowed in the EU on 3rd party app stores. Now why you might want a 3rd party engine? Well probably because you have sites that just don't work in safari. I love safari and I use it every day on my MacBook and my iPhone, yet I still have to have chrome installed because things just often do not work properly in safari.

I have read the summary 3 times now. I have no fucking clue what it is trying to tell me.

I'm fairly sure this is how the US bankrupted the USSR. The question is do we think China is the USSR or the US in this situation?

When they made this announcement there were still several features that require IPv4. It looks more complete now https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vp... but I wonder how sharp the edge cases are.

"What the market can bear". So if $11 is too expensive for most people, we won't get to 11, we will get to 10.99 or 9.99 or WHATEVER THE MARKET CAN BEAR. It is antithetical to the responsibility a CEO owes their shareholders to charge less for something when the data points to everyone just being ok paying more. Should companies earn record profits? Why shouldn't they if everyone just keeps paying it. Don't like it? Start a competitor? This is capitalism.
