Full autonomous vehicles, and particularly significant levels of adoption of them are decades away

the only way fully-autonomous vehicles will truly work and work as envisioned, is if user-operated ones are taken off the roads entirely. and yes, that is at least ‘decades away’

you should be able to ‘rufus’ an installer for that. the instruction in the ‘new’ minimum requirement dates back to 1st gen.

i just directed someone to a 12th gen laptop (i5-1235u) with 16gb ram and 512gb nvme at dell for $430 in a ready-to-ship configuration, search their site for nn3520gsbbs to find it.

replace people with computers and you don’t need as many ‘managers’ for the people that are left.

huh. imagine that.

you’d be surprised at how many people look for lowest price and fail to read even part of the rest of the item’s page below the item title at the top.

kindle. check.

lowest price. check.

buy now.

click-click-done.

(oops. they just got a ‘trial’ to prime, too. that takes actual reading of pages to find and click-through the cancel process before the payments start)

you mean debian, right?

amazon still sells the ad-supported versions of kindles. and not just the fire tablets, but the readers, too.

they count clicks on a distro’s page on their site, not usage or anything else.

if they dared put hanna montana linux on there, it would be the perpetual #1 listing.

“lol no”

i use private windows mainly so i don’t clutter up browser histories with useless stuff i won’t go back to (if i do run across something to save, it gets bookmarked or printed to pdf).

my utility charges $25 a month just to be hooked up. then there’s taxes and some community bullshit fees on top of the actual electricity usage. so even though my usage has dropped quite a bit over the years, and the base rate hasn’t really gone up that much (about 10-12% total, over two decades)… my bill is still more than double what it used to be.

i had just looked that up on verizon here. you can configure it to be whatever you want (with some limits), and it’s what gets sent with your phone number for caller id to compatible mobile devices/plans and to landlines with name & number caller id capability.

they thought star trek would carry it… when that didn’t work, they shopped some of those titles around to play elsewhere and don’t even have their entire flagship franchise available anymore.

“a historic day in the court room today, as the court recessed for 15 minutes for a diaper change–interrupting the testimony from the very first witness called by the state.”

diaperbaby: here’s our new collateral for the appeal bond

ny ag: lol no

if it’s just a menu board on the wall behind the counter, why tf not?

when i lived down in texas (and a couple other places), the stores had can-sized paper bags for the big cans and for regular 12oz ones. and i’d see guys having clerks at the store ‘bag’ their beer (even each can of an intact six-pack)…

then see them a few lights down the road chugging one at a red.

gong public does that to a company.

it’s some cheap no-name pos from verizon. i wouldn’t wish it on anyone (not verizon, either, for that matter).

it’s getting replaced, hopefully tomorrow. it’s the first phone i’ve never dropped… not even once. and it’s cracked, literally in pieces, and the hinge basically disintegrated. shortest time a phone has lasted me (by far); barely a year and a half. my previous ones all went 5+ years each.

the flaw in their plan is that many people dgaf if they watch something the moment it’s released. they’ll just ‘catch up’ next time they sub to a service for a month.
