This particular new feature seems less offensive than most considering fight and others have been basically scraping Reddit and doing it for years anyway.

Maybe they'll manage to somehow police things and summarize things better than Amazon does. As I write this in cautiously optimistic as I'm reminded just how bad Amazon has chosen to be in terms of product information... including killing review discussions some years back that often contained actual useful info and clarifications.

Lol. fair, that's more directly on point. (it's been 22 years?!) (America , f yeah!)

me too. Still reminds me of the Warthog in Halo, which I think is pretty cool.

I didn't have one, but I like the stainless steel, drive by wire, and four wheel steering and vehicle to grid. all cool features.

But full size electric pickups just haven't gotten much uptake in general. IDK if Tesla ever made money on them, but Ford, Chevy, and rivian certainly haven't.

maybe in another 10 years

What did you hate about the Volvo? i could see it not being exciting or something, but surprised it was offensive.

also, you should prob still get a Tesla because as overhyped and delayed as its "FSD" has been... it still seems to be the best around. ( though i HATE the whole "there's no buttons and everything's in a menu, including drive and reverse" thing )

What's your beef with the Maverick? If it's got a bed, it's a truck. ( esp. so if it's at least 4' wide so as to fit ye olde sheets of plywood )

in all cases i tried only the left is stopped whereas the middle and right both play without any intervention. and hitting Esc doesn't stop them. ( at some point in Firefox it used to. and at some later point had a SuperStop extension that made Esc work again... but i don't have it anymore, though idk if it's incidental or it stopped working)

tried in FF, Edge, Brave on Win11 and FF on Android.

i only got PortAuthority in the past year. It was news to me that sites could portscan the machine / network.

oh hey, i forgot about that whole thing! For a couple of years i used the multi-row tabs via plug-ins until they stopped working. Then later i switched to a vertical tabs plug-in, which... still scroll but easier to read the list.
As of about a year ago (?) FF has native vertical tabs list now.

I don't think anyone says browsers are slow, it's that sites load and run a BUNCH of stuff. The main things are to:
- disable all video autoplay. (not just sound, but all)
- run some sort of "ad blocker" like Ghostery or ublock origin not to block ads so much as to prevent loading most of them.
- then run some plugin to unload from ram unused tabs fairly aggressively. "Auto Tab Discard" on FireFox. "The Marvellous Suspender" on Edge / Brave / Chrome (though personally i don't use chrome since FF , Edge, Brave are already enough browsers)

I saw it by clicking on it in TFA and watching it on YT. The issue people are commenting on is not that we're being bombarded with it, it's about how Mozilla is using its resources and how it's positioning itself.

Yeah... in what way does Firefox ( which i'm using right now) stop enshitification, and walled gardens?

It's not tracking ads that are the main issue, it's that there's barely an open web to "surf" anymore.

(and brave, and Edge, both w/ some plugins , are fairly equivalent user experience wise to FF)

As these things go, it's fairly standard. Ultimately no matter what they say it's going to suck for people who are canned.

In the US they don't have to offer either buyouts or severance so that is at least decent of them. And offering buyout packages is "nice" in that it makes it more likely for people who NEED the job to not get laid off, even though it's bad for the company since basically the people who take them are often high performers who can find other jobs, whereas the ones who stay are people who are not as confident ( or flexible).

The 7 only came out two years ago https://www.ifixit.com/Device/... and it was a minor upgrade over the previous one. Unless you're a gamer or content editor or something i don't see how these are worth upgrading every 2 years. MAYBE every other gen. possibly every 3rd.

If only they made it easy to replace the battery though that would probably cut further into the sales.

I had the same reaction, and i read TFA (at least the The Guardian one) and and it says something different. There it's only 815 acres total, and it's in two different plots (at least) that are some 50 miles apart. One of the areas is listed as 330 acres and another is not shown, but i guess is the balance of it.

And the same article it quotes things like this:

and

So this isn't exactly a "they paved paradise and put up a parking lot" narrative. It's basically deindustrialized rust belt type places that are looking to not keep existing.

As one environmentalist is quoted:
