AM radios in cars only cover the small intersection of people who don't already have an emergency kit containing an AM radio, but do happen to be in a working vehicle during a disaster.
It's useless for anyone who's outside of a vehicle for whatever reason - eg vehicle is damaged, out of fuel, had to be abandoned, or was not available nearby when the disaster struck.

And what about people without a car?
Also if you've been forced to abandon your car due to the disaster, there goes your radio too since you can't easily remove it and wouldn't be able to operate it even if you could. A portable radio can be taken with you.

Depends on the nature of the disaster.
High winds can easily destroy solar panels.
Thick clouds will massively reduce the amount of power they can produce.
Thick smoke would be even worse.

At least he didn't write "I hope you are well"...

AM radio has very poor audio quality, you wouldn't want to be listening to music that way.
And your problem is trying to stream. Modern phones can have more than a terabyte of capacity, more than enough to store anything you'd want to listen to at a reasonable quality level.

I'm still impressed that the Teams web client can't edit a message with an emoji in it without messing up the keyboard controls and often corrupting the message and losing data. It's had this bug for years. It's literally a messaging app where you can't reliably send messages.

Stupid men will automate the wrong things then put decision making in at some point. Doesn't matter if the AI recommends to push the button and an idiot listens to it or if it directly pushes the button because you wired it up directly. It's the same level of stupid.

FYI: we already have automatic end of the world programmed into the system by policy long before computers. The president likely dies in every scenario too; but while attempting to rush to safety there is only MINUTES to decide the response before policy kicks in and only minutes to recall the nukes before they are permanently locked from recall signals. Furthermore, say you nuke North Korea or Iran, you have to make sure those rockets never even get close to Russia because their policy responds to threats and not you promising your rocket won't turn towards them at the last minute so they will fire theirs just in case and they have minutes to decide to cancel too. Plus then you have the issue of launching just some so an abort doesn't leave them with nothing left... if do it badly, they will have no window and no option but to lock in and then they may as well do it all. plans likely already worked out and automated with just a few military staff ultimately deciding. It's worse than the movie "War Games" which people should see... you certainly do not put the machine on the button! 1 bug etc...

AI kill switches are like encryption back doors. It's always "for law enforcement" etc but not really; with evil politicians it will be abused; you don't need to imagine this either - it's going on right now for the world to see...

You shouldn't put too much under the control of 1 person. One doesn't need an AI to have somebody go too far with what they have power over. We all can have a mistake in a script `rm -rd` the wrong directory...don't run as root for a reason.

I don't believe teams has e2ee at all?
In any case you typically don't need or want that in a work environment. Encryption between client and server is enough, as the org controls the server and wants to be able to view/monitor communications between its employees.

Any company that was using something else before teams came along also complains bitterly about teams - it's different and in many ways inferior.

I know several places that switched from slack to teams, they all universally hate teams.

You are not going to change hearts and minds with that kind of talk. Only if you and their peers surround them and do an intervention would this attitude work. Like a dog, you have to begin with a positive tone like "good dog" while saying hard truths mixed in with complements... since they are not much smarter than a dog; possibly more anti-social. Sad thing is you end up having to be their understanding therapist to get them out of their cult - reason and/or negative emotions only have a chance from a "safe space" or an extremely forceful one (bordering on illegal) both with tons of repetition. Since they are functionally brainwashed the only counter is similar stuff the other way. Just get them triggered out of their safe space and they get more entrenched each time unless you can knock them off balance long enough and only make lasting progress if they are prevented from recovering.

We are at the point where we probably just need everybody to stop wimping out and beat all these people down to the point they have to go back into hiding like they had to with being racists until Trump made that almost acceptable again. Forcing them into hiding didn't solve the problem but they did shrink while underground - and they weren't in much power which is most important.

Doesn't matter if DNA matched Trump to a child born to a 14 year old girl. As a powerful Republican, he is immune from it getting reported credibly; let alone consequences. That is if he doesn't stall the whole DNA thing in court for 3 years like he did with his actual Rape case where he refused a DNA test and ultimately they gave up but still got him convicted of lying about the assault (which means he did it but they didn't want to go 100% on the rape itself.)

Reasonably, he was guilty because nobody would resist DNA that hard unless they were paranoid about it getting leaked out and connecting him to other legal problems. I have wished somebody got samples off him or his kids and made some connections already; outside what can be done in court but then we'd at least have proof and a list of people...who'd likely be unsafe for life... I'd like to know why he is so afraid of DNA tests.

Worse the Idiocracy. The retards of that movie were HONEST and looking for real solutions. People now are corrupt and dishonest even if they are smarter. You show them water is what plants crave with video proof and they will scream, "fake news!" and kill you with a giant dildo because the narrative of their tribe matters more than starvation. I'm not exaggerating either, we literally had people in the hospital dying saying their COVID was a hoax!

I argue WW3 happened already. To save time, I don't bother often.
The cold war was a global war with many proxy wars with a death toll of just the hot wars higher than WW1. If you count the cold policy games and exploitation of the war I'd expect the death toll estimates to get near WW2; although, this is not a fair comparison because if you expand WW2 in similar ways it's numbers get much higher.

WW2 didn't get fought like WW1, technology shift. WW3 had nuclear technology and so they fought unlike other wars; also they shifted to an empire of political influence by any means short of nuclear. So today we have it being restarted in an idiotic way by old men; one using subversive spying and conventional war and the other by idiotic hubris: economic and militarily... oddly with both working together to compete for territory to restore past empire. With a successful conclusion leading to confrontation again - hopefully just another cold war; not that it is likely either will succeed before they die.

You must be Gen X. No, the 90s were in decline! You just didn't know better. This is when middle aged boomers were being laid off and having trouble finding better jobs; when we got some weak laws on age discrimination (only 40+ year olds...boomers.) Not that it did much, because corporate take over already happened in the 80s which also is when just about every middle class family had BOTH parents working to maintain what people in the 50s-70s had. Like smoking, women working was sold as freedom and they fell for it again (cigarettes began as freedom stix then because they were for girls and more profitable; cowboys had to sucker men into using a woman's product. I'm frankly surprised male makeup hasn't taken off already.)
