Yeah, I'm asking which model of Ioniq have 6 seats? I thought they were all 5, so maybe your definition of a seat is different and actually there are a lot more cars that fit your needs.

Anyway, no charging at all on a day trip... Well, 6 hours of driving and 6 minutes of charging seems reasonable to me. I'd have filled up a fossil car too, maybe the day before and again after or something, which would doubtless have cost me more than 6 minutes total time. Not that it cost me any time because I needed to pee anyway.

You have to be realistic, not just arbitrarily set the bar slightly above where you think EVs are today.

The LLM thing comes up in a lot of "switch to Linux challenge" scenarios. The issue is that a lot of the Linux community is sadly very toxic. Someone says they want to use X, and the response they get is "why? Just use Y instead". They google an error message and get an out of date Reddit thread where the copy/paste solution bricks their OS (happened to Linus of LTT a couple of years ago).

LLMs try to be helpful and sift through all the outdated forum posts for you. They make using Linux a lot more pleasant and, ironically, human.

With Windows having enshittified, while Linux isn't perfect it does at least feel like some distros are trying to do the right thing, and aren't outright hostile to the user.

When I imagine what the next version of Windows might look like I picture something with AI and ads and tracking crammed into every part of it.

Oh wait, that's kind of what we have now. But assuredly it'll be even worse, so I expect the Linux percentage to keep growing as it gradually becomes known as the best PC platform for gaming.

It won't be long before anyone with a bit of know-how can create blockbuster-equivalent movies at home and throw them on Youtube, and then hollywood is done.

They're just hastening their own end. As for us, we'll get buried in generic slop.

I recommend people keep buying up those old DVDs and box sets.

I get sent Word and Excel documents at work. I've found that if I reply in ODF format, people just start using ODF without realizing it.

The only real issue is Excel programming, which isn't supported by ODF. There doesn't seem to be an open standard for spreadsheet macros or whatever they are called, and Excel uses some kind of BASIC variant that nothing else supports.

It's like nuclear power. Sure, only 1.25% of civilian reactors have ever melted down, but the consequences for individuals of those meltdowns can be extreme. Anywhere from massive loss of property and community to death.

While 500 stalkers might be a small percentage of 800k officers, for the victims they probably don't find much comfort in the fact that there are only 499 other victims of the same thing. Especially when the technology is relatively new and still rapidly expanding.

For all the comments about how the kernel and Debian developers are a bunch of incompetent morons who couldn't code a secure OS if their life depended on it.

Or does that only apply when Microsoft patches a large number of bugs found with AI tools?

I'm not sure what you mean now. I didn't know they did a 6 seater version of the Ioniq.

Like Tesla was funded by the US government, you mean? That sort of subsidy?

If we amend the Constitution of each nation to require mandatory prison time for publishing in a closed document format, only then will we properly unseat Microsoft's dominant format. Because there's no fighting the inertia. Not when there are no immediate negative consequences for using proprietary formats, and with short term pain when dealing with less popular but "open" formats.

I'm glad they're supporting Linux even more now. There aren't a lot of us but maybe with Microsoft constantly making their OS worse, some more converts will show up.

The thing is, I don't really use GOG Galaxy because the big value add for me is that I can download and install games to run off line. And admittedly this is what GOG Galaxy does in the background (and it will even backup the installer and fetch bonus content if you want it to). But I don't necessarily need galaxy to run my games, as the installer already does a nice job putting it under my desktop's menu and I can browse or search for games.

Where Steam's app is ahead is that it has better integration with friends lists and makes it easier to invite your friends into a game. It's not that huge of a deal because Discord can already do some of that on Linux today if you grant it permissions necessary for it to track what game you're playing.

Apple's RAM isn't on the CPU die. They make the CPU and attach it to a substrate with RAM chips sourced from other manufacturers. Two separate dies (or three, dual channel RAM).

Most modern high end CPUs are like that now. It's more efficient to make the sub parts separately, often on difference processes so that the highest end ones are reserved for the things that need them and other stuff can use older nodes. They can then bin all the parts separately and reduce waste/down ranking further down the manufacturing process.

It seats 5. There are models that seat 7 if that's what you need.

So for example, I recently did a 6 hour round trip. On the way back I stopped for 6 minutes to charge and use the bathroom.
