Comment Re:AI obsessions across platforms (Score 1) 99

the Linux Foundation is on record as saying: that 95% of their future is in AI.

advocating for open standards and interoperability in the AI ecosystem is nowhere near the same thing as baking it into the OS and forcing it down everyone's throat.

Only platform that is relatively AI free are the BSDs.

lol what the hell are you smoking dude

Comment Re:Toyota/Ford hybrid drivetrain is the bomb (Score 1) 150

yeah a lot of newer EV models are posting ranges 350-500km, and even higher. The thing I didn't fully get was that EV efficiency is exact opposite of an ICE car (ie, better range around town and in traffic; cruising at 110km/h absolutely KILLS your range) - in retrospect it's kind of obvious, but having done a lot of highway travel recently for the holidays it actually became quite a pain.

Comment Re:Full EVs should have never happened (Score 1) 150

yeah pretty much... I'm not a car guy AT ALL but it was recently time for us to replace our 20yr old hatchback. We got the new Kia EV3 and driving around town it's insanely efficient - I have been getting the advertised 600+ km range on a single charge. But if you're doing a lot of highway speeds then maybe half that. It's totally manageable I think, but maybe a bit like using linux, you have to be motivated to make it work and it involves some behavior changes. Most people 'get' living with an ICE car and there's no incentive to change yet, which is perfectly rational esp in jurisdictions like the US where gas is artificially cheap.

Comment Re: Steam OS is Arch (Score 1) 49

It was originally based on Debian but Wikipedia says "This version transitioned to an Arch Linux base which used a rolling release model that Valve felt was better suited for hardware support." So that's a bit ironic (although I'm guessing they meant new hardware support, rather than 10yr old cards).

this article is about a whining baby who desperately wants to get clicks on his youtube channel by sensationalising a gigantic nothing-burger.

Arch is a rolling release, news is posted on their site. This issue was known, there was a guideline posted on 20 Dec, I have absolutely no idea why Arch is being called out here. This guy needs to install ubuntu and STFU.
