Same, I have a 2011 and 2015 MacBook. And a 2008 iMac and Mac Pro that are about to get Linuxed because the web certs won’t update anymore.

Librewolf has extended the live of the newer machines. But os support is the hardest part.

The also killed their UI performance previously when Vista first launched. Remember Aero?

It was just before the world got fucked by our sub prime mortgages, that might have been why, also since everyone was buying property, gold probes might have been relatively low.

100 millionaires are still asswipes though. That’s why they said multimillionaire.

The only possible missing ingredient is if Putin has a terminal illness and unfettered control of Russia’s nuclear arms. Similar problem with Trump, but his dementia will hopefully prevent the worst as he’ll lose the ability to make those decisions, and his handlers presumably want a continued existence on this planet (for now).

I hope the younger backups are ready, because these dudes might by in their 60s when we actually get to the moon.

Presumably the enemy ship wouldn’t be there very long after the airframe full of munitions hit it.

Theranos made a bunch of money for its creators, they just messed up by thinking they could keep lying, when they could have just admitted failure at some point and then moved on to the next grift.

Since then crypto schemes came atone and made it way easier to swindle dumb investors. So the VC grift isn’t as attractive.

It’s also insane that Elon thinks he’s worth a fucking trillion dollars for this effort too.

We need privacy laws that stop the data collection and all camera data should be stored locally unless opted in. That goes for the whole damn industry though. Tesla may be the first/worst, but it’s all garbage.

What’s annoying is that I like the batteries, charging management and motors in Teslas. I’d love to get my hands on a gutted car and convert a few classic vehicles to EV. That’s really the thing Tesla has given the car community. N

Yeah for sure, other than hard points under thin hoods I suspect a lot of 90s cars were a lot safer for pedestrian impacts too. Even things like the Ford Taurus, Buicks, Maximas and Stanzas, Camry and Accords were all smooth low front facias and hoods.

The 90s gave us some of the most aerodynamic cars (or lowest CoD cars) of all time. We’ve been going backwards since then because styling for aggressive grills and SUV heights makes it impossible to be highly efficient. EVs need very advantageous they can get to increase range in order to sell in the US, so flowing 90s designed are a necessity and a form following function that I can’t deny. I like the new Prius for the same reasons.

I like the new Model Y refresh in person (the 3 less so), because front fascia were never very good looking IMO. The new light bar thing makes it less bulgy and slightly Ramsian (I guess, I can’t remember Dieter Rams making anything aerodynamic though, or really even curved for that matter!). The touchscreen bullshit and Nazi owner will keep me from ever buying one though.

The cyber truck is of course excluded from all this, and should go rot in a scrapyard of bad ideas along with the rest of Elon’s ideas.

That was 10 years before only Nazis used that term, but I take your point.

I wouldn’t put anything conductive in there.

Wood toothpicks worked great on lightning ports, usbc is a little trickier and more fragile so I use a plastic spudger from an old screen replacement kit.

Retail pricing dictates a $3 component cost is $12. And that $3 would have to include packaging and assembly costs. And the plastic case and button. £17 is tough to hit with all that, especially if there is an SD card included or any software development to ensure any kind of security.

We get called the oldest democracy currently in existence. But that streak appears to have ended.

Yeah it’s been on my todo list for years. I gotta pick up an Ethernet cable for adding it to my lan.

I was trying to decide if that included people trying to get ChatGPT to delete itself.

I wonder how long it would take if it was given the option to commit a fulll sui.

Fucking cash back credit card ads in my head now. I wish ublock worked on my TV

The “speech” I’ll always remember is still when he was mocking the disabled.
