It’s not EV’s I’m skeptical of hey.
It’s the cars they are making. The evs are all quite expensive and then all new cars seem to be taking the opportunity to tack on all these extra subscriptions and such.
I’m never buying a car where heated seats are bound to my car app account on a subscription like seriously…
I think windows 10 is going to be the last windows I use on my personal computer.
I hope that proton and general native Linux gaming support gets to a fully supported level before they kill off windows 10.
With the popularity of the steam deck for the first time I’m actually somewhat confident it’s going to get there eventually.
Pretty positive this is going to end up being a DNS level block that will be as simple as setting a dns server outside of the UK to bypass.
Because anything else would create an unbelievable amount of administrative overhead.
Also imagine the spike in identity theft this is going to cause.
I don’t agree that this is necessarily a weakness or that it’s overly strange.
While they might not be able to quite hit the peak fitness of someone in their 20’s and 30’s, you also gain a large amount of meaningful mental fortitude as you get older.
In short you have seen more shit and dealt with more shit. So generally you can bear more headship and pain before breaking, also probably less prone to discipline issues, and the older ones likely provide a good example to the rest.
In a war for the survival of your nation all able bodied people are needed. There are naturally more older people than there are younger ones.
I have to say, while not a huge fan of apple…
Most of these hacks I’ve seen seem to have long been patched out.
I still feel iPhones are largely more secure overall even if simply because on average I’m pretty confident the fleet of iPhones in use are using much more up to date software than android devices.
I have absolute confidence that Finland will absolutely counter any aggressive actions all by themselves if they need to.
They have an absolutely staggering amount of artillery and you can be sure it’s all pre-sighted and ready to make any silly invasion attempts an absolute blood bath.
They also have a powerful and decentralised airforce, setup to operate from their highways and backwater air fields should the need arise.
Finland out of any nation in Europe would be the least of my worries about its ability to defend themselves, they have been gearing up and planning to defend against Russian aggression for generations, their people are motivated and I believe already armed with their service rifles after they complete their mandatory service period.
Add NATO membership into it and Russian threats are just laughable, dragging such a powerful and motivated foe into a war you are already struggling badly with would be incredibly stupid, not that that rules it out I guess.
The dumb thing about this taking myself as an example.
I drive a large heavy diesel 4x4, yes it’s not great on the pollution front I understand that.
But it’s all about perspective, I use mine to go on camping holidays for example.
Listening to someone who drives a Tesla criticise me for my lack of environmental awareness while going on 4 overseas flights per year that I don’t take is peak hypocrisy.
One long return flight per year contributes almost as much as my evil 4x4 does in a whole year.
Firstly it’s not a Max version.
Second, the Australian airforce and Boeing developed this plane together and have already had it in service for many years with fantastic success and reliability.
I believe the UK RAF also has some in service.
It’s been operated with many of our allies on joint operations and sometimes with observers as they all knew that their AWACS fleets were in pretty desperate need to be replaced and were accessing it.
It is by far the most capable platform of this type, and it’s a ready to go mature design that the countries looking to come on board have already been operating along side and supporting in real operations.
I just want my operating system:
To have a logical settings layout, perform well, be stable
Be fully and easily compatible with most mainstream programs and games without having to screw around too much.
Give me back windows 7, add dx12 support, update the back end with any kernel and scheduler updates, call it windows gamer edition. Then fuck off out of my life Microsoft.
Nobody wants to “use an operating system” we want to run programs and do it efficiently, i feel the vast majority of changes Microsoft has made since windows 7 ended has been to the detriment of that.
I can only hope that now with Vulcan becoming more popular and the rise of steam os on the steam deck that we will start to see native Linux aaa games being a thing.
Remember when CPU’s / GPU’s had clockspeeds that didn’t include “up to”
I understand why it’s better net performance doing it this way and better uses the whole potential performance of the chip.
That still doesn’t make me like it, not because of the technical reasons, but because of the way they twist the marketing, it could hit 6ghz for 1 microsecond and they could still claim #nowupto6ghz!
I am much, much more likely to be willing to pay for Ublock than I am YouTube.
I don’t think so…
This might apply if they were not going to just level the place.
This will probably be more “shock and awe” combined arms level the place and anyone in it with the orders being that in 24h time anyone left there is to be considered an enemy combatant.
I don’t agree with killing civilians like that but that’s what’s going to happen. Because right now they feel they have the geopolitical cover to just go in like a steamroller and flatten everything.
Oh man, look I don’t want to get into picking sides or whatever and it’s extremely cold hearted to look at is so frankly… but.
Israel is going to completely annex all of Palestine by force and fully occupy them even more than before…
They are already fully mobilising everything and looking steamroll anything that can’t get out of the way or that stands and fights.
The general vibe I’m seeing is they will do their best to straight up crush everything once and for all, while they feel they have the geo political cover to probably get away with it.
So many people are going to die.
46c… lmfao what a stupid headline.
That is absolutely NOT “hot”or “overheating” for a piece of tech under stress.
The phone housing is the heat sync, and the phone is more powerful than many people’s few year old laptops.
Not to defend apple but this is just trying to sensationalise and farm clicks, my pixel 7 used to get way hotter doing just normal tasks to the point I was getting overheat warnings and the screen would shut off.
Now if it was more like 55c I could see that being an issue at least from a comfort standpoint.
On top of this, pointing a thermal camera as an emissive surface like glass… not the most accurate way to actually get a temperature reading, they should have used a thermal couple… but I’m guessing that would have showed an even less exciting click bait number.
In diplomatic speak, this is actually very strong language.
As an example one of the most extreme diplomatic phrases would be “x country has committed an unfriendly act”
Where do you think the saying “diplomatically speaking” comes from?
When the words you say can end in people dying or economic ruin, it makes you somewhat strongly consider exactly which words you should say.
In order to avoid… more aggressive negotiations from occurring.
The fact that their statement is clearly committing them to removing the barrier is strong language especially with the military power imbalance between the Phillipines and China.
China in the South China Sea is a bit like a 4 year old seeing what they can get away with.
Don’t blame me…
I want to give people a chance but why would I hire someone fresh with no experience who won’t except a starter wage because they think they are:
“qualified now and deserve a high pay”
Just because that’s what the for profit, higher education system has told them, does not make it true.
If someone had instead spent those four years in the industry gaining some experience from a beginner role, plus went and got a few industry certifications, I would be much much more likely to hire them and at a higher wage.
That would show that they are capable of actually functioning In the role, and have a bit of knowledge about how the real industry works, and how to function in a real workplace.
Doing well at university while admirable often requires completely different skills to what you end up needing in your chosen field. You can’t blame employers for knowing that and hiring accordingly.
I think nowadays the correct play is enter the industry you want to go into immediately out of school, at whatever basement level you can get in at, study part time to get the piece of paper while also getting real experience.
You will be far more capable (aka valuable) at the end of it.
See the issue is “gain all the skills”
Comes after the job
Grads know nothing… They just hopefully have the foundation concepts there now to build the true knowledge of how things work and are done in the real world.
That’s the real reason grads can’t get jobs… I’ll take someone with 10 years real world experience in the role or one similar and no on paper qualifications in a heartbeat over a fresh faced university graduate.
Honestly not to defend apple here… but does the timing of this announcement seem a bit too convenient.
Honestly it’s sort of the principle of it.
Like the car has it, it’s already cost the manufacturer to install it sure there are ongoing dev costs for some things, but not all.
On top of that many manufacturers are locking the features to the one person.
So for example I pay for heated seats. Then I sell the car, and the new owner has to “buy” heated seats again.
I’m sorry I’m not supporting that bullshit or the manufacturers who are doing this one bit even if I don’t pay for a feature.
On top of that there are issues with servicing and also forced firmware updates.
A friend was late to work the other day because his Tesla was doing an update when he tried to leave, like what happens if someone was trying to rush a partner to a hospital or something and you happen to jump in the car as it’s mid way through an update.
I want to be in control of the things I own and pay for, that’s the whole point of owning something. Car manufacturers these days seem to be under the delusion that they still own our vehicles and we are just the money sacks they are renting them to.
This has been going on for a while, but seem much much worse on the electric cars.
Also frankly the infrastructure isn’t there in many places around the world.
It’s not just waiting to charge the car that’s the issue, it’s waiting for the charger… when each vehicle takes up to 30min-an hour to get a meaningful amount of range back suddenly you need like 10x as many charging stations as you had petrol/diesel pumps.
And while this may be in place in some places in the world it’s not in most. Add this to the fact that charging points are often out of order well you start to see the issue.
