You wonâ(TM)t mock Honda for that until you can find a maker who can. Without assuming the customer can afford a rolling mortgage.
It's clear that a number of Chinese companies are capable of it. Quite a lot of their EVs are kind of hilariously cheap for what you're getting. And as more units are sold there's more economic pressure to produce better batteries, which in fact is what we have observed happening.
Unlike cars, everybody depend on oil. Even those who think they don't.
On one hand, this is absolutely correct for a lot of reasons. On the other hand, it's not inevitable. We can and should reduce our dependence on oil, and petroleum plastics, etc etc. And keep in mind, literally as I wrote that I saw with my right eye that the next window shows a video feed from my 3d printer where some PETG parts just finished up and the Z axis dropped for my convenience, which is why I noticed... but part of why that's the material I'm using right now is that it's cheap and overplentiful. It could be something else, and in fact I still do a lot of PLA (which is kinda sorta compostable.)
There are alternatives to all of the things we do with petroleum fuels and their byproducts. It's absolutely true that we are dependent on them right now, but it's also true that this dependence is a primary driver of AGW and is therefore unsustainable.
It's only got 8Gb of RAM
No, it has eight times that much.
How efficient is MacOS? How many browser tabs are possible? Seems crippled to me.
On one hand, you're not wrong there. 8 GB is not a lot. This is seriously a machine built to just run a browser. The answer to how many tabs you can have open is complicated and boring because old tabs get cached, so it's really just however many you can have before your browser explodes. But at least on OSX you have your choice of browsers, unlike on iOS.
I am not going to buy one for lots of reasons anyway, I have several bones to pick with Apple and have been abused by them enough as the result of several past purchases of their hardware. But that aside, I still would not buy one unless they (pre-disclaimer: they will not) open sourced all the drivers or provided enough documentation and assistance for someone else to write their own in a timely fashion so I was not waiting for features.
On the other hand, perhaps one day I will buy one of these used and refurb it, and use it for a content consumption device. If it's truly easier to repair, that's feasibly worth the effort.
It's not political, it's economic. Take a look at what reprocessing does to the cost of French nuclear power.
Overbuilding renewables is still cheaper than building nuclear, and makes it dispatchable
The troll mod may be unfair. he may actually believe that.
The troll mod has to do a lot of work here, in addition to people just using it to mod down whatever they disagree with it also has to handle "this is just fucking stupid"
Like other seemingly simple solutions, this one is wrong.
Why?
The major distros have become unbelievably bloated
Irrelevant
The kitchen-sink approach is just wrong and increases attack surface
Irrelevant
Although lightweight versions are possible, the sheer sprawl of inodes has become ridiculous
Irrelevant
No OS should need a half-million files installed from core executables and libs and sheer goo.
Stupid
Linux distros could go on a diet
So next time search for a lightweight distribution and run that? This is a you problem, it doesn't just sound like one.
Desert does not mean arid.
No one said that but you. You seem confused. Try taking your meds.
Oh look, you're on my dick again.
Isn't your ass tired yet?
It's bananas to buy a PC with 4GB RAM today. That's barely enough for a phone. If you want it to perform with modern apps, in fact, it's not enough.
But I don't like "unified memory" when it comes to actual real-world performance.
It actually has both ups and downs in the age of LLMs. But more to the point, it mostly doesn't matter any more. If you are doing real grunt work or real gaming then yeah, that makes sense. But if you are doing typical processing then it doesn't matter at all. I have a Zen+ laptop and a Zen3 MiniPC and they both have slow AF graphics for lack of cores, but they are both plenty punchy in the CPU department and they can both do 4k video decoding. So for the average person, it's irrelevant, and even for many people who do not have typical use cases. It's like winmodems, they were terrible in their day but would be fine now if we still used modems
You don't understand caching. We can add that to a long list.
Cheap Chromebooks are crap. I'm not about to give Apple any money but you're leaving out the important reason why someone might choose to do so. Their hardware is far better and their software is somewhat better. If Google didn't over-limit Chromebooks then the software might be a wash, but they do so.
It's a gateway drug to Apple's farm, where you are the livestock.
Let me tell you about a little ad company called Google.
I've browsed it a bit, but there's nothing worthwhile on it. [...] So why would I ever want to visit an intellectual desert like bluesky, again?
If it's an intellectual desert because you're not there, I hope it never ever rains.
A boss with no humor is like a job that's no fun.
