If you’re old enough to receive full Social Security benefits - you’re too old for a political position. House, Senate, Governorship, or Presidency - it doesn’t matter.

Hell, I think in the same way that regular cognitive tests are required for seniors who still want to drive, they should also be required to pass a similar civics test before being allowed to vote.

I wonder how long until he packs it all up again and moves to Florida?

Dude, same (well - I only had one, but yeah).

I held off for as long as I could, but eventually went from a 15in Sony Trinitron monitor to a Dell W2405 - which at the time was actually not a bad decision, but I do wish I kept that CRT.

Maybe in the early-to-mid 2000s; people couldn’t GIVE them away!

Nowadays, not even the most bougie neighbourhoods could afford to…

100% this, leave the first generation to the professionals (eg. reviewers) to find all the obvious flaws - then pick up the 2nd or 3rd iteration once they get most of the kinks ironed out.

Give it a couple of months and they’ll figure out a way to solder the GPU chipset and VRAM onto a donor board with a modified BIOS.

With any luck, the market will be flooded with these hybrid graphics cards and absolutely crater Nvidia’s revenue & valuation (triggering a similar crash in the US and elsewhere).

I’m in a similar situation. My workplace has been heavily pushing implanting AI tools into our daily workload, but I’ve struggled to find a more meaningful use beyond a technical search engine: eg. How can I calculate x in the most resource efficient way?

Renault had seemingly given up on hatchbacks for the Aussie market, it feels like only a few years ago the Megane and Clio were all over our roads.

I can’t particularly blame them, though. We have something like ~5% of the population of Europe in about the same landmass, our regulations (ADRs) quite onerous, we drive on the other side of the road compared to continental Europe, and the logistical costs of sending a finished vehicle from Europe to Oceania makes it quite difficult to compete economically against Chinese, Korean and Japanese brands.

I say this as someone heartbroken, who absolutely adores the designs of European marques like Peugeot, Renault, Alfa Romeo, Abarth and Citroen - they are all undeniably cool.

With Starbucks, they just need a name - not necessarily yours.

My of my uni friends used to pick ever more ridiculous names just to hear them call it out when his drink was ready.

The first company that is able to commodify modular drop-in BEV replacements for ICE vehicles would make a fortune:

Battery packs shaped to slot into engine bays, transmission tunnels and fuel tank cavities.

Individual motors directly into your preferred wheel wells (FWD? RWD? AWD? 4WD? whatever you like).

Drop-in ECU to interface with the existing chassis.

The sort of thing that someone mechanically minded could knock out in their own garage over a weekend or two, or you could get done at a professional shop in a day.

Imagine taking your favourite silhouette, and giving it exactly the range and performance you desire - at the fraction of the cost of a new EV.

Weird, that’s just showing up as ******** to me…

Clearly our company has set their own standards…

…this is also on top of 2FA, Zscaler, and a few other secure network requirements I haven’t fully poked around. 🤷🏻‍♂️

We regularly work with a tonne of sensitive and PII data, such that even one leak would be disastrous.

My work has a mandatory password update every ~3 months, seemingly keeps all previous hashes, and some employees have been around for 20+ years.

I feel for the IT security team.

That would be ideal; something of an Open Platform with fully interchangeable parts.

It’s not quite fully everything we’d want, but that Slate truck that was announced (launched?) last year seems like it’s a step in the right direction.

The issue at play largely is that customer demand needs to make such options not only viable for manufacturers - but an outright requirement in order for them to remain competitive and relevant.

Bring on an era where minivans are cool again, SUVs are tacky, and hot hatches + coupes reign supreme.

Actually no; that is both the correct logo for KMart in Australia AND its own internal brand Anko:

What if I’m trying to find a low-mileage, mid ‘90s drop-top NSX in candy red - what filters should I set?

Asking for a friend.

It probably wouldn’t meet the strict legal definition, as no copy (physical or digital) is left behind for any period of time - as RAM is volatile and its contents disappear on power cycle.

There is probably some technicality in that since it doesn’t record audio, but rather just keeps a transcription - that it might not fall afoul of two-party consent?
