I remember when Windows 3.x came along and I got the error. On the dialup BBS boards, they said it was because DR-DOS wasn't allowed the beta of windows and MS probably wrote code to toss that error. I just waited it out until DR-DOS updated their OS and then installed Windows 3.x

I think it may be evidence that Amazon has a shitty corporate culture that squeezes every penny it can out its employees.

Corruption can happen anywhere, but it's more likely to happen in totalitarian cultures where people feel like the system is rigged anyway. That's why countries like Russia and China have corruption problems. But I suspect the same feelings of me vs. the system occur in a capitalist enterprise like Amazon where employees are governed by dystopian, rigid, computerized metrics.

No, of course a broken spar is A Very Bad Thing when it happens in midair.

Is this changing-the-timing-chains-in-an-Audi difficult, or is this replacing-your-spinal-cord-without-killing-you impossible?

Are these planes repairable? I think it's a reasonable question.

(Of course, with the Audi, if has anything more than a loose gas cap it's not economically feasible to repair, but that's what you get with European engineering.)

It started as a very easy to use wiki, for internal knowledge at a company. It still is good for that use case.

But they tried to bolt on everything else under the sun to it, and it now tries to compete with Trello, Asana, Monday, JIRA, and everything else... and now apparently GMail as well.

The more a company tries to do in Notion ("because we already have it"), the more messy and unusable of a mess it becomes.

Woah... Dumb question, but would a wing spar be repairable or replaceable?

All of the software on all of these devices comes from random anonymous people from all over the world.

All of the software on everyone's phone and PC and server is based on open source coming from all over the world.

The rule is there for economic protectionism.

That is the reality.

Instead of a bunch of SUITS. Design some CARS that don't fall apart if you brush up against one. Design some cars for people that don't want or need an oversized SUV or pickup truck that is the size of a flipping tank!

Yeah, and the Sahara desert use to have lakes and streams. Climate changes! Blaming it on man is just another way to control people by government. 25-50-100 years of data is NOTHING compared to the age of the planet. If "climate change" was such a big deal, then why haven't the "millionaires & billionaires" moved AWAY from the coasts and continue to move there and build huge homes? I thought they were suppose to be the smartest ones on the planet?

Unlike the people that don't want their farmland gobbled up by solar panels or having wind farms that make a lot of noise?

excluding taxes, title, license, registration, governmental fees, destination charges, documentation fees, and any optional equipment, So, slap on another 40,000 dollars LOL.

â¦can it run Crysis?

I have zero interest in getting looped into Meta's sub-standard AI and relying on it for stuff when the rest of my ecosystem is all wired into Gemini and Claude.

When will a glasses maker launch with OPEN SUPPORT for what AI assistant you want to use with it? Why does it need to be tied to a specific vendor?

AVERAGE temperature matters.

The gulf stream is a moderator. It keeps Britian and eastern Europe warmer in the winter than it deserves to be, but in the summer, has little effect.

What we are seeing now is a heat dome over the summer. IE, the AVERAGE ANNUAL temperature of Europe is going up, not the daily temperature.

If and when the gulf stream shuts down what will happen is Britian and western Europe will freeze in the winter.. in fact it may start to become covered in ice. Go look at any globe and look at where Britian exists compared to Russia and Canada, it is further north than Labrador. For all rights, it should be fozen in ice all winter. The reason it is mild, is because of the gulf stream.
