Nearly everybody I know buys them for sheet music

Which is a whoops move. I brought a tablet exactly for that, a samsung. Almost none of the software standardised in the music industry for sheet music actually runs on android (and thats partly because android historically had terrible audio apis, though it has gotten better). Ended up having to get an ipad. About the same price all up.

If drivers would actually stop at the solid line way before the crosswalk instead of ignoring that line hanging their bumper over the crosswalk, maybe they would see someone in the crosswalk.

No, they wouldn't, not if that someone is an average child.

But that's a small problem compared to the distracted driving car designs (infotainment screen) and young adults not looking both ways.

It is the driver's responsibility not to kill people in crosswalks whether they are paying attention or not. How many people have you driven over?

Not always. If you pay money to get a ticket into a movie or a concert, cause some sort of commotion, you will be kicked out and you will not get a refund nor would you deserve a refund.

That is largely true.

But in the case of games, I'm not on your property. And we already discussed servers - I might not even be on your servers.

It might help to clearly separate these two cases: Pure online games with servers hosted exclusively by the game publisher, and the 90% of other games (single player or multiplayer with player-operated servers).

Because you are such an entitled moron, you don't realize how wrong you are about pretty much everything.

And there we have it, the usual ad hominem of people who have run out of actual arguments. Signaling the end of the discussion, because why the fuck should I bother talking to someone who says such shit?

Goodbye.

That's not going to make China catch up to "the US" because it's not China vs the US. It's China vs. the world. Literally no country wants China to be in charge of chip production except maybe Russia, and even then only because 1) they have absolutely no hope of being competitive themselves, ever, given the way they run their country; and 2) China is still happy to do business with Russia since no one can afford to sanction them for it.

we will see a number of really spectacular enterprise deaths and falls to irrelevance in the next few years, most with a clear trace to LLM use.

Probably, but no US automaker will be among those. The US won't let them fail because they are defense contractors. If we have a war we need them to make vehicles. The bulk of units will be drones, but we will still need tanks and whatnot.

Really? So, the worst and bloodiest war we ever fought just didn't happen.

No one said that. Stop making shit up.

We slaughtered ourselves to end slavery.

No, we did not. We know that's not why we did it because we did not end slavery. We only made it the sole privilege of the state. If you could read, and read the amendments to the constitution, you'd know this.

Don't f-k around.

Fuck off, illiterate.

It appears pretty much ALL the side panels on this thing are plastic

Vehicles normally don't have "side panels" and it's not just a cost reduction measure.

I also saw a hint on that show that in the future potential for 4-wheel drive could be an option....I hope it gets there...talk about massive custom options appearing out there for that...???

If you're willing to implement "custom options" then you could make it 4wd yourself, without any help from them, like any other pickup.

We can't educate the deer, so I suppose teaching kids to watch where they're walking and how to be safe is the best we can do.

We taught kids to use crosswalks, now drivers are mowing them down there because the hoods of their pickups are so high that they cannot see them crossing. This is all stuff you would know if you were paying attention.

Thanks for proving you're not paying attention.
