Comment Loads of trouble with Firefox on Linux and FreeBSD (Score 1) 55

Maybe it's just me.

A few years back I was using RedHat, and I gave up on Firefox because videos would not play smoothly.

Now I am using FreeBSD, and I have recently gave up on Firefox because of a few issues.
1. Buttons often don't work. For example, the "Show More" button on Google does not work.
2. Pages often don't load on first attempt. Whether I click on a link, or enter a URL, the pages just don't load of the first try.

I just gave up. Sorry but, for me, Chrome and/or Chromium, seem to work better.

Submission + - Samsung reportedly cuts some U.S. jobs (cnbc.com)

walterbyrd writes: Samsung Electronics has cut jobs at its U.S. display, phone and other consumer electronics operations — affecting workers mainly in New Jersey and Texas, according to documents and two people familiar with the matter.

The South Korean tech giant said on Sunday in a statement to Reuters that 739 roles in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, have been affected by plans by Samsung Electronics America (SEA) — which is focused on consumer electronics and does not include chips — to move its headquarters to Texas.

A majority of people affected have received relocation offers, but others were let go, it added without elaborating.

Not in my experience. And I have had fairly significant experience.
Automatic transmissions start slipping, or shifting hard, or the modules go out, or something. Often it is often not practical to replace.
Manual transmission hold up much better. And if there is a problem, it is much easier to fix.

Comment Surprised theaters can stay in business (Score 0) 172

The cost of going to theaters is way up, while the quality of the movies is in the dumpster.
Then there is the whole unpleasant theater experience. People talking, using phones, filthy theaters, and so on.
How can people not be burned out on the superhero crap by now?
The movie will be streaming in two months anyway.

Quoted from the article. More quotes:

> "Tesla accomplished this by building a tiny two-seat robotaxi with no steering wheel, no pedals, and a sub-50 kWh battery pack."
> "That’s a legitimate engineering strategy for a robotaxi fleet vehicle. It’s not a fair comparison to a car you’d actually buy."

Often, there is no other place for cyclists to ride. Often, to get to one bike path to another, you have to ride on sidewalks. Often, sidewalks are considered bike paths.
Bicycles have enormous potential to reduce greenhouse gases, and solve many other problems - as has been proved in the Netherlands. But a certain amount of urban planning is needed.
