he can only undo certain things on his own. There is a lot of other groups and countries that have a say on the sanctions.

For all the not super technically inclined people out there, I would recommend Linux mint with cinnamon, you’ll feel right at home and won’t face any real issues so long as you don’t want to play LoL, a few other big multiplayer games have anti cheat systems that don’t like Linux.

As I understand it, there have been issues with distributing Nvidia drivers in a Linux distro. Some do do it, but it’s kind of a legal grey area due to potential conflicts with the license of the Linux kernel.

I don’t really understand it fully, but it’s been an issue for a while. Apparently it’s less of an issue now because Nvidia partially open sourced its drivers. AMD’s GPU drivers apparently don’t have these issues.

Wonder what the situation with intel’s new GPUs and its drivers is.

… what? Are they just copying musky hype slop?

The far right is popular because it is allowed to exist while criticizing powerful institutions, because their proposed solutions and actions do not meaningfully threaten those institutions. Any criticism and proposed solutions that might actually fix issues are often buried or demonized as soon as it gains traction independently.

But this behavior is hurting the long term viability of media institutions, the narratives and ideas they push are so detached from real world experiences of viewers that they losing meaningful viewership.

Didn’t the author also predict that the china was going to collapse in 2011?

Oh and also on the board of directors for CPAC?

Like, I just skimmed the authors Wikipedia page and it kind of feels like he might have a bit of an agenda.

At least movies are entertainment.

This stuff is just them trying to corner the market on centralized processing. The AI Branding is hype to keep investor money coming in.

The trick is that china is a very large country and some part of it is always collapsing while some other part is advancing.

But supporting Google is fine? Because if using any gecko fork is supporting Mozilla, then using any chrome fork is supporting Google.

How is it different? Or how is Mozilla worse than Google?Or are you using safari or other webkit based browsers?

Getting the word out about the wonders of AI appears to have some impact on AI PC appeal. Just 32 percent of respondents unfamiliar with AI PCs said they’d consider purchasing one for their next upgrade, whereas among those who have already used an AI PC, that figure rises to 64 percent.

In other words, of the self selecting group excited enough about the technology to try one of these, 46% wouldn’t buy another. I can’t help but wonder when these companies will realize that there is no market for clippy 2.0.

Yah, I expect to see more of this TBH.

Trump built a broad coalition of alienated elements to push him over the finish line and now that he’s across it, it hardly helps him to stick his neck out to support them.

Then there is congress beyond that. The senate and house may have a majority of republicans, but they have elections they need to win in 2 to 4 years, and many of them don’t really care about the people in the coalition trump has built. They only need to support those elements that will be important to them winning future elections.

Well, it doesn’t necessarily need to be bought, it just needs to not be part of alphabet anymore. I think the ideal outcome is actually that chrome become an independent non-profit that maintains an important piece of software using funding from a consortium of different sources that want it to continue to exist.

This kind of thing is actually very very common and far from a new concept.

Honestly, what’s super interesting to me is how clustered the US and Germany are. I’ve always noticed that Germans show up more often than other non-native-English speaking groups in English speaking online spaces, but to see them be nearly on par with the UK in clustering with the US is wild, especially because there is so little clustering between them and the UK.

See that’s the thing, you don’t need a touch screen for those things, or even a screen. Everyone has a phone for sat nav, (you shouldn’t be looking at your phone while driving but you also shouldn’t be looking at a screen on the console while driving). And for maintenance stuff a light up an LED is enough.

I think in general there’s just been a proliferation of unnecessary features and with it has gone the affordable new car.

I just don’t think his product will be competitive when the market moves up a whole price bracket, even if he thinks so.

People willing buy a 30,000$ new car are going to have more patience for poor quality than people who are willing to pay 40,000$. Like the market will shrink as some people are priced out, and those who remain will probably opt for something like an Ioniq-5, a Solterra, or a EX30 which are just nicer cars. Their main issues right now are a lack of availability, but that’s less of an issue as the market shrinks.

It often feels like the software is an afterthought and not given the time and resources it needs to work properly. Like, they slap the screen in to seem tech forward or to stream line dash design, and then dump the problems this creates on to software devs.

Yah, but musk has been doing some serious brand damage lately, so can they really keep selling on that?

A touch screen is more expensive than an injection molded plastic knob, even if the actual interfacing of the controls is easier.

I take the point that it’s simpler to integrate with how many buttons, dials and controls newer cars have, but I think the proliferation of those bits is part of the same issue. A lot of stuff is being added not because people find use in these things but because companies feel they need to add them to appear like they’re tech forward.

the problem is that they’re also one of the more expensive options. And they have a pretty bad reputation for quality now. So a 7,500 price increase is probably going to push people to look for higher quality at the 40 thousand price range, or for one of the cheaper options in the 30 thousand range. Assuming they don’t just go for a Prius instead.

The touch pad control shit just sends me “yah, let’s get rid of these cheap, easily manufactured and implemented dials and knobs that can be easily operated without looking and replace them with an expensive touch screen that you need to look away from the road to use, that’s truly the way of the future; Unnecessarily expensive, more difficult to use, and reliant on software that will probably get bricked in 3 years when the executives lay off the team maintaining it so they can give them selves a pay raise.”
