Which do you have, Audi, BMW, or Mercedes? People with those brands are used to $10,000 bills from their mechanics.
Lol yeah, I'd be pretty upset because that would be more than 3 of my cars cost put together.
Didn't slashdot have a dating site like, ugh, decades ago?? Or am I misremembering that?
They shouldn't be operating there at all
They're goining to replace them with Trump coins, aren't they.
The problem isn't terrorists, it's idiots flying drones in dangerous places. Like that one that forced the fire-fighting planes to be grounded.
He'd have to beat off the Doge guy first though!
Because they suck!
Also CS isn't "programming" so you don't even have to teach any language in year 1.
CEOs and Board members who are personally heavily invested in commercial property are going to take a bath if/when companies start shedding office space due to employees working from home consistently.
Who are these tech CEOs and board members that are renting out office property?
This claim gets repeated all the time but there's never any evidence of this supposed conflict of interest. The only case was with that WeWork dipshit and well that's no longer an issue.
They can just be dumb and/or control freaks.
Anyway. How's the weather?
Electricity isn't 34 euros/kwh in Cyprus https://countryeconomy.com/ene...
Also these heaters work in winter when it's cold and, less well, even when cloudy. Worst case, you fall back to whatever other heater.
Lots of sunny sunny countries do not, in fact, use these solar heaters as much as they could be.
This. Why do I want a new UI concept? Don't mess with what works.
If you don't, just use Firefox then? Which still exists?
Hardly anyone uses Firefox though, so it might be worth experimenting a bit rather than continuing to do what doesn't work.
It's handy being a vastly wealthy petro-state.
Like the United States?
Problem is that there is no low-cost EV - not anymore, at least. I bought a Seat Mii Electric, a variant of VW E-up for 18600 EUR brand new, with 5 year warranty, in 2021. I still have it. For 95% of the family's journeys, it works just fine, charging at home.
Well they've been around and not that many people bought them.
It's great if it fits your usage. I think it would be nice for my parents too, who mostly just need to go the next town over or to the shops etc.
The problem is that paying 20k EUR for a tiny electric car with limited range and slow charging isn't a very attractive proposition for most. It's almost double what the ICE version costs which is pretty efficient and can still be used for a long highway trip if you need that occasionally. Not to mention used options, for like $5k you could get a Yaris or Honda Jazz or something like that.
While all of that may be true, it isn't just "poor" people who don't want them. My household has a top 10% incone. I wouldn't buy an EV costing more than $10K, and it would have to have 20 minute 0 to full charging and a 500 mile range.
EVs just seem like "disposable tech" to me. I'm not inclined to spend much money on it. In the meantime, I'll keep driving my soon to be 18 year old vehicle that is cheap to insure, cheap to repair and was paid off a long time ago.
Yeah and I drive a 20 year-old Miata but I think we're the exception. The average new car costs almost $50k which is plenty of budget for an EV.
I'm not buying an EV either because the Miata costs basically nothing to run, but how are EVs any more "disposable" than anything else. They've now been around for at least a decade and other than some shitty Leafs with shot batteries, they're still driving around fine.
MS has been doing this for years, even the summary says from like 2015. Ten years lol.
Most of the control panel functionality has been moved to the new UI a while ago and it's not really necessary to go into the old CP UI. Some of the more obscure settings still launch the old applets but at this point the control panel as such can probably go away fairly safely.
Of course some people will whine about it but they'll also whine if Windows is using some UI from the 90s too.
