That’s fine for opening the front doors in the model 3, but have you seen how to open the rear doors in the cyber truck? That’s what I was referring too.

I don’t think something needs to be identical to Windows to be a good replacement for it. I think there should be a replacement for Windows, and distributions like Linux Mint are that replacement for some people.

I also think that parts of the Linux ecosystem have major problems. Not necessarily problems with the kernel itself, but problems with the surrounding software like programs and user interfaces. Wider application support would be a start. Some distributions and parts of modern Linux systems can be unnecessarily complex or downright esoteric. Some features like HDR have very poor support, and are difficult to enable/setup where they are supported. It’s also difficult for developers to publish to Linux because of the wide variety of different Linux systems. Flatpaks and snaps help with this obviously but have divisive in the Linux community for one reason or another.

I did manage to switch to Linux. I can understand though why people are hesitant, there are still things that are tough in Linux, or near impossible in some cases. That’s despite having used Linux on and off for years.

I believe they also have a jump port for exactly that purpose. If that doesn’t work you are stuffed though, as I believe has happened to some cyber truck owners.

When the car isn’t driving I believe the main battery isn’t connected for safety reasons. It’s a high voltage battery, and having it connected all the time even when the car is being serviced is an unnecessary safety risk.

Yeah they could and probably should use a different battery technology than lead acid. Preferably something with a wide temperature range. Lithium Titanate Oxide anyone?

They do have a manual way of opening the car door if memory serves. It’s just in a hard to find place where a toddler wouldn’t think to look. Either way it’s a bad design. Nothing wrong with manual door handles imo.

Thanks for that information. Perhaps no writing system is truly perfect, but it’s good to know that at least something better is possible.

Either way something is wrong with the writing system here is my point.

It doesn’t matter how common it is. You’ve missed the point completely. The fact it’s so common yet people constantly get it mixed up is just more evidence that it’s a bad part of the writing system.

You don’t think her going to protests is collective action?

That’s the opposite of what an apostrophe is normally used for, to show possession. So it’s not actually a well thought out use of an apostrophe, as it’s completely unclear if it’s a contraction or possessive. As I said, this is a badly constructed writing system.

Nobody does invent the rules for English. There are several versions used in different countries, which is generally based on how people use it in everyday life. Eventually the whole it’s/its thing will disappear as the language evolves. At least I hope that will happen if idiot language pedants like you fuck off.

Edit: It’s been pointed out to me that apostrophes used for contractions are more common than apostrophes used for possession. I still don’t think it changes the argument that we shouldn’t be using the same symbol for both, or that a language’s writing system should be simple and follow the pronunciation.

That’s a fraction of the life of a single car, for an AI model used by millions of people. AI isn’t that big of an energy consumer if done right it seems. Look at how much energy data centers used before the AI shenanigans, or how much Bitcoin uses.

Quite a big one actually, natural language processing is very difficult. It took until the past couple years to solve that one properly. There is a reason only humans have a complex language.

Having the same sound be spelled two different ways is a flaw of the writing system. The spoken word is always the real language in linguistic terms. If the writing system is hard to understand or to use then it’s a bad system. Hangul is much better from what I understand, as it always reflects the way something is pronounced.

Depends on if they make you pay to reschedule

My bad

Wayland isn’t actually a piece of software though. It’s a protocol. This isn’t like X11.

The issue here is tap water quality in America. Also just the fact that people are dumb and buy more contaminated bottled water even in countries where the tap water quality is good. Like seriously guys, micro plastics are a thing and plastic bottles aren’t helping.

No. You still don’t get it. People think you are comparing stone henge (just rocks) to human lives (potential air disaster from painting a plane and damaging something). Rather than the human lives being lost from climate change.

I legitimately can’t tell if you are legitimately struggling to understand or you are one of the bad faith actors you talk about.

It sounded like you are comparing the stonehenge protest to the one with the planes, not with climate change. Safety is critical in aviation, so it might sound dangerous to people that the planes were painted. I would instead say something like “they are valuing literal rocks over the lives of people claimed by climate disasters”. Then it’s clear you are talking about climate change in the second instance, and not the people flying the plane.

This is a case of you failing to communicate though. Not bad faith actors or whatever.
