Honestly, If the cars pass NHTSA regulations, don’t phone home info to China or BYD, and are inexpensive and not just cheap disposable vehicles, bring ‘em in! I want an inexpensive EV for commuting. It’s not crazy far, and I don’t care about bells and whistles. I just want to make it back and forth reliably and in one piece and I feel like that’s a huge portion of the population.

The kind of issues you run into “running the Internet” are not the same as the average desktop user. Most of those systems don’t even have a monitor attached, let alone a whole desktop environment or GUI.

That’s an interesting take I don’t see the line of thought on. If he’s trying to say “Biden wanted this but Trump already started it” that tells me BOTH parties requested it. Hence, if you don’t like Biden because of this, you don’t want Trump either. And of course, vice versa. In short, this policy is not unique to either party or administration.

Your last paragraph seems to be, therefore backwards. I get a lot of “if you think the democrats are oppressive, you don’t know the republicans… they’re the ones who actually started this request first.

Honestly, I don’t really see this as able to sway anyone politically anyway. The real reason for all of this extra that Zuck brought it up, is simply to SEEM like he’s being transparent and open to win favor with the people and coming administration.

And while the AnandTech staff is riding off into the sunset, I am happy to report that the site itself won’t be going anywhere for a while. Our publisher, Future PLC, will be keeping the AnandTech website and its many articles live indefinitely. So that all of the content we’ve created over the years remains accessible and citable.

This is such a big thing. Losing access to content is something we’re seeing en masse and future historians and hobbyists greatly appreciate having historical articles accessible and not lost to the sands of time. I think it would be even better if we could all torrent and archive as well, but accessibility and continued access is appreciated.

I remember when they had this stuff in stores. Then one day they decided it wasn’t making them any money and dropped all but the latest and the previous gen. This stuff was the primary reason I went to GS. After they dropped retro, little stores started to pop up to fill the gap and do it a lot better. Leaning into the culture surrounding retro gaming and imports and soundtracks and such. Not sure I’d go back to GS at this point. They kinda blew their own hand.

Taliban men must be the weakest in the world if they can’t even hear a woman’s voice without being shoved into temptation. Do they all just instantly nut when a wrist bone slides out from the veil?! Talk about not having any confidence in themselves.

Or an OTA software update. Or some water.

I was thinking RollerCoaster Tycoon 3.

Sure, we could go to four blades next, like the competition. That seems like the logical thing to do. After all, three worked out pretty well, and four is the next number after three… Why innovate when we can follow? Oh, I know why: Because we're a business, that's why!

It doesn’t look at all like a Nautilus.

Seems like there should be a cheaper way to cull the population of Russia, but I guess I’m not that experienced with that sort of thing.

I thought this was fake or a bad result or something, but totally just duplicated it. Wow.

If you read the block of text…. It doesn’t make sense either.

My bookmarks are competing with my unplayed steam library.

I would argue that buying a $10-20 usb Bluetooth adapter is much preferred to giving my info and data and privacy away to Meta. Not to mention the other things you can use it for.

Personally I’m really glad Sony went with Bluetooth over some sort of proprietary tech.

Or that they have better benefits, deeper pockets, more of a challenge, will actually listen to him, etc. people change jobs all the time.

Elon could have spun off Tesla’s AI (FSD) into a separate company or created a new AI company that Tesla uses for their FSD. Instead, he’s pivoting Tesla, a fairly successful, if troubled car company that uses AI, away from producing cars. Why? I mean, this is consistent with his firings and division layoffs, but it seems like a dumb decision from the board’s/investors point of view.

I remember footage of him on TV shoveling in huge plates of spaghetti in the ready room at the venue he was competing at that day.

We used turbo pascal in school in the early 90’s. And it had assembly blocks… which I used copious amounts of because it was the only way to make the IBM PS/1’s do useful graphics.

This is actually a really cool idea. I feel like this would even be good for adults!

I’ve sent in ~50 letters to my reps and none have had even a canned response. They really don’t care.
