Yes, and he's also been saying that we'll have full self driving cars by the end of the year for the last 15 years or so. He said that his tunnel in Vegas would be full of self driving Teslas. He said that 10 years ago you'd be able to summon your Tesla from across the country. He said he'd build a hyperloop from LA to SF. He said that we'd have humans on Mars by 2021. He said that he'd have a fleet of over 1,000,000 fully autonomous robotaxis driving around by 2020. He said Tesla owners would be able to let their Teslas be used as taxis that would pay for themselves when the owner wasn't using them.

Elon says a whole lot of stuff. The vast majority of it is absolute bullshit that he's spewing to further his wealth and power. The fact that anyone believes anything that comes out of his mouth anymore surprises me.

Maybe people are just tired of him spewing absolute bullshit as fact while stealing our money, destroying our government, literally hurting and killing people, and just generally being an unlikable little troll that no one would even care about if he hadn't managed to leverage himself into a fuck ton of wealth and power?

This is different from property taxes how?

We tax unrealized gains there already. Why not do that with wealth as well?

Oh, Windows will love that.

Thanks for explaining to Slashdot what a proxy is. I had no idea.

Same here. And it puts all of this new shit at the top, forcing you to scroll past it each time.

They should have put some effort into fixing whatever memory leak keeps me having to reboot the ting every few days.

I just got an Amber Alert for a kidnapped child in Los Angeles less than 24 hours ago. You'd think that if these license plate cameras were any good at what we keep being told we need them for, they would have caught the guy before needing to send that out.

Or "crime prevention" is complete bullshit, and this is just a convenient excuse to get more warrant-less surveillance on everyone.

No doubt that Bill Clinton is skeezy as hell, but he's specifically requested that the Epstein Files be released in their entirety.

Bill's a perv, but a perv that likes legal aged women.

Do they? Every single GameStop location near me in Southern California has closed.

The problem is electric motorcycles that are being marketed as e-bikes, and the dumbass parents who keep buying these for their kids. I'd guess 99% of the problems with e-bikes aren't actually e-bikes.

Many of the electric motorcycles that kids are riding around on can exceed 60mph, some of them can get close to 100. Parents are buying these for their kids and letting them loose on them.

Here in Orange County, there was a 14 year old kid on an electric motorcycle who hit an older man while he was doing a wheelie. That man died today from his injuries. The kid's mom had previously been warned by the police that the motorcycle was not an e-bike, and was illegal for the kid to be riding around on. They had a nearly 30 minute conversation with the mom about this, and warned her that she could be held criminally liable if her kid kept riding it.

She's now facing involuntary manslaughter charges because of her idiotic decisions.

And on that note, why should the user be expected to occasionally just have to reinstall the entire OS? Is that a thing with any operating system besides Windows?

Not to mention build quality of the laptop's hardware. The Neo feels like a premium laptop. Very few Windows laptops feel that nice, and none of them remotely close to the Neo's price point feel anywhere close to that nice.

Between Windows getting shittier and shittier, Windows laptops getting shittier and shittier, and RAM prices surging, now's the perfect time to switch. With the RAM pricing, a MacBook Pro is actually priced considerably less than a comparably specced ThinkPad, and the Air/Neo are cleaning up on the lower end laptops. I really wish there was hardware similar in build quality to the MacBooks that ran Linux, but for now there's not. Yes, I'm aware of Asahi Linux, but that's not quite there yet, but hopefully it will be at some point.

This isn't even a case where a burner phone would have helped, or device that should have been using a lock down mode. This is just a case where the guy shouldn't have had notifications enabled for Signal.

I wouldn't really consider this a hack or exploit, everything is working as designed. If you want something to stay secret, don't have that secret pop up as a notification on your phone.

But will hopefully become a fantastic Netflix documentary.

I can see it happening. Amateur high power rocketry enthusiasts have already done a lot of this. Obviously this is still an order of magnitude harder than what the amateur guys have done, but if a group of amateurs have had these successes, there's no reason a well funded company could put it all together in a package, especially if they're being helped by the state.

Amateur rocket with waypoint guidance

Amateur rocket that reached 385,000' at 3,500MPH launched by the Civilian Space eXploration Team. Towards the end of the flight, you can see where the carbon fiber had started to delaminate on this one, but that's not a huge deal on something that's only designed to fly once.

And just for fun, here's a guy who's perfected getting model rockets to launch using thrust vectoring like SpaceX does.

Like I mentioned, these are all orders of magnitude easier than a hypersonic missile would be, but these were also all just amateurs doing this for fun (Although the CSXT guys did use their launch as a proof of concept and did wind up building a business around it).
