No dealerships doesn't mean there won't be model showrooms, like what already exist today for several small brands where they are not allowed to sell direct. This is a problem that was solved over a decade ago.

So you bought a used car without the ability to inspect it yourself and also didn't get a pre purchase inspection and.........you're saying that was a really stupid, careless thing to do? Yeah, I agree.

funny how this /. poster doewsn't know how to use an adblocker, wonder how many yous had whe you posted that? Mine has 0.

Do you know how to do math? Because that's how. It's not a difficult problem space to quantify. You can easily know how much water one vs the other uses, you can easily know how much detergent you need to use in one vs the other and you also know the costs on those things. You also know how many loads of laundry you do and how frequently. Wear an tear on clothes would take more, but is likely unnecessary to show a net benefit.

Could you really not image this solution as soon as you read the problem?

"Everyone" did not, but people who tend towrads black and white thinking (like someone who would use "everyone" in this context) have.

Nope. It mean what it sounds like: low quality content. It's a perfectly good word. Sounds like you're a true believer who's feeling are hurt. Which means lots of the things you think AI is good at are also slop to everyone else paying attention.

The only human being Elon Musk cares about is himself. He is a profound narcissist.

THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON REACTOS?!

Next you'll tell me Haiku is still an option.

"If people start flocking to Linux"

Will this be the year of Linux on the desktop?!?

Slow down, sometimes it takes a few years, or 32 years in this case, to get something right.

It's not about protectionism either. Most "us companies" that make routers are making them in china. Cisco even has a ton of chinese developers working in china.

This is about graft and giving "US Companies" a way to submit a bribe through on of numerous already established cahnnels (crypto, library, truth social stock, etc) for exemptions.

Continually proving it's just a bunch of unserious unqualified fools.

Cisco makes their routers in China and have a huge amount of chinese developers as well - it's not just the hardware.

What an idiotically backwards opinion. Where do people like you come from?

Waymo or Tesla? Waymo is so far ahead of Tesla that how can even the most gullible investor think they are every going to catch up?
