Interesting. Now, make an ICE version. I live rural and charging stations are very few and far between. The nearest is 20 miles away, but several gas stations are available within 3-5 miles.

I was one of the lucky ones to get a Google CR-48 prototype back in 2015, and at the time, it was simply amazing. Yes, it had its shortcomings, but damn, it was impressive. While today's Chromebooks/Googlebooks sometimes feel like a marketing team collectively threw up on them, they have come a long way. My hope is that there will be enough settings on the new devices to tweak it to my liking.

...that government cameras really suck.

Reddit gets slammed for many reasons, and it is definitely not without its issues. But honestly, many focused subreddits provide invaluable information, often not available elsewhere. In many cases, they are either the only resource or one of only a very limited number of resources.

The intent was, "A pizza place just opened close to me that locally sources its ingredients, my kid works there now, and I can buy their pizza for less than it costs me to buy pizza from the place across town." Putting this into practice takes time, is risky, and the actual results are still unknown.

Seriously, that we have become so reliant on 100% 24x7x365 connectivity is chilling.

"...even though there are very few Cobol-literate coders available to maintain them."

I had a programming opportunity that involved programming in RPG on an IBM platform. I had zero experience with the language or platform, but wanted the job, so I did a very deep dive into all things RPG and IBM, nailed the interview, got hired, and have been modifying and developing new programs for short of two years. It was a wonderful change from 35+ years as an IT generalist, and I haven't looked back.

I program IBM RPG professionally, and while I do use several AI tools for reference, relying on one is simply absurd. I always keep multiple tools available.

As to using AI to write code, for my use case, AI is a great tool to explain code and to suggest rewrites to code, but for actually writing new code, it's not reliable. It's great for pointing me in the right direction, but in the end, my programming experience is what helps the most.

We may all process colors the same, but colors that I see looking through my left eye appear to be what I would consider "normal" to me, while colors seen looking through my right eye have a very subtle sepia tone. Nothing striking, but when I look at mostly flat surfaces, alternating between my left and right eyes, I see a very slight, but distinct difference in color.

Please pop that FAUX news bubble and touch some grass.

Just the same as regular human BBQ'd brains. According to a friend.

I switched to electric last year and I regret not doing it sooner. Charge at home, no diesel fumes, amazing performance, quiet, and does short trips without it being bad for the engine.

It should be technically possible to have a recently accessed files feature that doesn't rely on that data being collected by a third party. There is nothing inherently wrong with collecting that data for yourself.

"I grew up playing in the mud, drinking from water hoses, riding bikes without a helmet, attending family gatherings where every adult smoked, and somehow, I've survived this far in good health, so...whatever."

If only [Windows 10] had some sort of, I don't know, [L]ong-[T]erm [S]ervicing [C]hannel to that could provide a solution.

Unfortunately, such a solution could cause a [mass]ive departure from normal support channels resulting in [grave] consequences.
