Beef has been pretty expensive lately. Are beef farmers not making a fair bit of money right now?

Yeah, hating on the kid simply because his dad has money forces him into an us-vs-them situation. It does nothing to help.

Not to mention, it is exceedingly gross to cheer the death of someone just because their dad has money.

Trump is just a constant whiplash. Two days ago he was talking about selling Ukraine Tomahawks, now he is talking about Ukraine giving up vast sums of land and people.

So what emergency are you thinking of?

You aren’t on a road and the car is confused about how to move around. You are now stranded because you can’t drive the car. I have yet to see any self-driving car even attempt to be reasonable in off-road driving.

Your buddy’s cabin in the woods, grass parking at a venue, natural disaster and the road is gone, a country driveway, getting into your backyard with the shit your bought at home depot, etc, etc.

The moment self driving cars are safe enough we are going to ban human drivers entirely

Naw. Too many people like driving, too many emergency situations that require a human. The most that will reasonably happen is people will prefer self-driving and driving test requirements will increase somewhat.

We very rarely ban old things, we mostly just convince people to use new things.

“that breaks speed limits” can be ok.

I have seen a number of US interstates posted at 55mph, when traffic moves at 70-80mph. Being stuck at 55mph on those interstates is dangerous.

Considering the Steam Deck is the PC handheld market leader, doesn’t run the bloat that is Windows 11, and is vastly cheaper than the Ally X, I’m really confused on why they didn’t include it in the comparison. Literally not even a mention of the Steam Deck in the article.

The Ally X is a really, really bad value proposition compared to the Steam Deck. A 3-way comparison would have been much more interesting.

It’s awesome we finally have a way to test and benchmark this. It has long been something one would notice, something that would make games feel like shit. But there was never a way to put a number on it before today.

Thank you for being the only person in the thread to answer the question.

get the last piece of my hardware dependence off…my 20 year old DAC

The $9 Apple DAC is unironically good. I can confirm it is plug-and-play with Mint.

Edit: To be clear, it is good if you just need an audio output (the core feature of a DAC). If you want crazy DAC features, it clearly isn’t it.

For a desktop OS, I have been recommending Linux Mint to new Linux users. The UI feels familiar to a Windows veteran, and the initial setup is designed to be user friendly.

However, don’t fret too much over it. Distros are mostly just a pre-configuration of the OS, all of them can do everything.

The issue isn’t it not working, the issue is security updates no longer being made. Feel free to keep using 10, just don’t put it on the network.

You can, but you won’t be getting security updates. Best to not put an OS without security updates on the network.

Being able to quickly get out of a burning car is important. If you only ever use the electronic door handle and your electrical system is damaged by…the fire, then you are much more likely to burn. The same problem exists on the outside of the car as rescuers have a harder time getting in to save people.

Getting stuck outside of the car in the winter is also pretty common when there is not a good place to grab when the door is covered in ice.

Car manufacturers have been making normal door handles for forever. Tesla ‘fixed’ something that wasn’t broken.

I have had to put quite a bit of force into a car door to get it to open on many an occasion. (Ice is a bitch) A normal door handle just works, stop trying to fix it!

Seriously. Every other car maker has figured out how to make normal door handles. You can even buy the parts directly from them if you find it too hard to design yourself.

The best situation for consumers is for games to come out on as many platforms as possible. Exclusives are cancer. It’s awesome to see less and less of them every generation.

It’s a pretty solid response to people fishing for compliments.

Fuck yeah!
