I once replaced the head gasket in the middle of a trip in the middle of the night, thanks to a cooperative gas station and chevy dealer.

However, I wonder who keeps a phone long enough these days for it to matter?

It was the most useful class I had in high school, and is the reason I prefer Vi over other editors (not to start an editor war ;-) ) - if I have to take my hands off the keyboard to use a mouse, it just slows me down.

Letsencrypt will be the winner from this - free and automated.

I haven't heard of that, but it seems to be dependent on kde, so that explains why...

I've been using a Linux laptop for a decade, but when the new Air came out recently, I jumped back to Mac even though Dell has a comparable laptop because Preview is better for viewing photos than any of the Linux photo apps. It seems like a minor thing, but since the main thing I do on my laptop is check email, web browse, and manage photos, and thunderbird and chrome are pretty much equal across platforms, photos are the distinguishing item.

On my desktop, there are other apps that make MacOS the winner, despite the fact that each version keeps getting worse. I have my Linux vms for the non-gui services I use though.

I'm constantly have apps completely freeze and having to kill and restart them, and every new version of osx seems to make nfs worse and worse. Very frustrating...

I just got bit by that, trying to find a trailer for Murderbot - it was clear that who or whatever created them had never actually read the books.

I'm an old fart, and when I see "Space Ghost", I think of the old 60's cartoon I used to watch as a kid...

I think it's worthwhile, not so much to bring them back to resurrect the species in the wild, but to be able to study them and find out what they were actually like

And we're supposed to believe our government, especially *this* one, is better than China? Not on your life...

Exactly my thought...

In my home theater, I can watch the movie when I want, with who I want, pause as needed, and not put up with ads and high snack prices. There's not really anything they can do to get me to go back - I don't mind waiting for the dvd...

Compuserve was my first experience online, via a radio shack terminal (a stripped down color computer, that I can't seem to find a reference to anywhere) - it came with 10hrs free on compuserve, which I dropped like a hot potato after racking up a $300 bill ;-)

And you are unfit to be making comments - I know quite well it's not self driving, the hype over "autopilot" is *way* overblown and I'm really glad I didn't waste money on "full self driving" which doesn't actually add much to autosteer.

That said, autosteer is a nice convenience most of the time and "Accelerate it to your liking and then let driver assist do it again" is not how it works. When it gets the speed limit wrong, it's simply unusable unless you like blocking traffic (or, I suppose, want to manually control speed while letting it steer, but personally, I prefer the reverse).

My Tesla Model Y often limits the speed when using autosteer to 5 mph over the speed limit...and frequently fails to notice that the speed limit increased after passing through a small town and even sometimes on the freeway, which makes it really annoying when the speed limit is 70 and it thinks it's 45...
