For the record, I’m not saying I agree with their methods, but I don’t think it’s fair to them either that everyone is acting like they did irreparable harm to the monument.

“The orange cornflour we used to create an eye-catching spectacle will soon wash away with the rain…"

How does that help?

We’re talking about it

Yep! With Steam Deck pushing more native game support, I hope we see more users get used to the Linux environment and increase the demand on the PC side for better support across all applications.

Another reason is that you are virtually guaranteed to find any application you need that supports Windows.

The game console industry proved this was a viable business plan a couple of decades ago.

They probably realized it’s not profitable because 90% of a user’s visits are home, work, store… wash rinse repeat day in and day out. They can probably get more meaningful data from the person through their other various tracking methods.

Are ransom attacks on the rise in recent months? Any sites that track these sort of things?

Just a reminder to everyone that it’s fun to hope it’s aliens, but Occam’s Razor suggests it isn’t and the real answer is likely something naturally occurring.

They of course me c-level executives, not us plebians who do actual work.

a couple of owners decided to race their trucks

in this rather unscientific race

Did you even read the article? The author was very upfront about the context.

You’re the type of person that wants everyone to min/max everything and say “yeah but if this had happened” or “if they had done this differently”

Get down off your soapbox and appreciate this for what it was: two owners having a fun race for bragging rights. And if Ford comes out in a better light from it than Tesla, that’s not circle jerking over a brand, it’s just another anecdote to pile on top of all of the other stories about how piss poor the Cybertruck is at being an actual truck.

Tesla has branded it as a truck. As a layman who isn’t a Tesla simp or a motorhead, I would expect a comparison with other popular trucks if I were interested in learning more about it.

I see you’re describing a case-by-case basis, but I’m still failing to see how it’s case-by-case. /s

I’ll be dead. They can have all of that.

We ultimately don’t know what is going to survive the digital revolution. I wonder what’s going to be lost to time and what historians and archeologists will be able to recover and view centuries or millennia in the future.

Oof

Ignoring the question about whether the cost is reasonable, it’s going to be interesting to see what happens to gas stations / convenience stores when the ability to charge your car is basically everywhere.

The only reason we need gas stations is for the specialized infrastructure required to safely hold the fuel. Mass EV adoption is going to kill their business model.

They dropped “do no evil” a while ago.

It’s funny how hard it is for providers to get this concept. I feel we’re about to enter the cycle where we see an uptick in mainstream piracy because the price is starting to outweigh the convenience and legality.
