I am skeptical that EVs donâ(TM)t have end of service / reliability issues at 14 yrs just like the Camry. The EV has all the same sub systems as a ICE vehicle except the power train. They still have brakes, suspensions, cooling systems, HVAC, tires, infotainment electronics and seat cushions ..etc⦠Now I am sure the Tesla is more akin to the Camry because it was over engineered to sell the reliability point. However I bet the other automakers using laptop cells and their planned obsolescence reliability models will not be as good.

Its not exactly clear to me what the mission of the ISS Is. When looking on NASA websites it certainly reads like its a perpetual research labratory. That seems fine for a building in a stable enviroment. However, there are components of the station that have been operational for over 25 years and considering the complex relationship we have with Russia I don't see it as a bad thing to end the mission before someone gets hurt. We should be reviewing the remaining research being conducted at the ISS; review and prioritiz so the mission can draw down. Putting Nasa on a 2 year notice to end the mission and de-orbit doesn't seem like a bad idea to discuss.

I like gnome. After playing with KDE, XFcE and others⦠I always come back to gnome. I am not saying gnome is perfect⦠but it isnâ(TM)t terrible to the point I would demand instability in leadership to fix what I see as points of improvement. Can we have conversations without everything being gaslit by activism?

Only way to fix this is to add back what you know principles to the security chain. Ideally both. Enter something you know and follow up with something you have.

Sounds like you and your company would benefit if a severances was offered. You should ask around and let your boss know. When a company goes to down size you could help save someone elseâ(TM)s job if youâ(TM)re willing to leave. Also usually in that case because you allowed the, to plan for it you usually get more generous severance terms since your leaving on a high note.

I think what this really says is that the personal computer is such a stagnant platform that the only people bothering to upgrade are those who found the need to replace their existing machine. The average per doesnâ(TM)t care about windows 10 or 11 they just need access to the internet and most of the time they use their phone or tablet. The only reason windows is still a platform for consumers is because of gaming. You canâ(TM)t make a person upgrade when they canâ(TM)t be bothered to turn the came thing on in the first place.

While I agree with the sentiment . . . Google has notoriously coddled and given incredibly generous benefits to its employees over the years. I really don't feel too sorry for them. They have the cache' of Google on their resume, the employees have plenty of options if they don't like having to work under pressure to succeed.

I do agree with one aspect of what he is saying: AI needs to solve "real user Problems" Good Luck.

All these products do is make a business model out of theft. This shouldnâ(TM)t be a thing in the first place

I am ok with this as long as I have the choice to mitigate what runs in the background and can control what apis and data applications have access too.

Lead by example. If the c-suite wants us in the office they need to be too.

The problem is failures modes of EVs. The battery degrades gracefully to a point. However, eventually the BMS detects enough wear that it just shuts the entire car down until pack is replaced. After 10 years of ownership you may have a perfectly well maintained car but it will cost you more than the value of the car to get it running again. For something already 10 years old. Also the data from Car and Driver only samples tesla owners. Tesla's are well engineered, but the competition has a very dramatic swing in quality. Talk to any Volt owner. Got a friend who had 130k on his odometer and wanted to give the car to me because the battery died and the computer wouldn't let the car move. Cost more than the value of the car to replace. He tried to convince me to take it off his hands because I needed the project. No thank you. .

What about repairability. When the battery packs hit end of life the car is essentially scrap because of the cost to replace the battery.

Good points. You convinced meâ¦. I just donâ(TM)t want t to be locked to a wallet or digital platform by using passkeys. I am interested in what the FIDO alliance is trying to achieve. In the short term I have been looking at physical security keys rather than passkeys that can be passed around

Waitâ¦. Nope itâ(TM)s not April 1stâ¦
