Is QBASIC also included or does the new EDIT not require it any longer?
Doh!
Now they know how it feels to get a 23 cent check in the mail when a class action lawsuit wins.
I know, right. They added an option to change the (x,y) location of a text box on the screen. They must have used AI vibe coding for such an innovative change.
No thanks. I would rather have shit flowing away from my house than flowing towards it.
It feels like 1984 all over again.
Friends don't let friends purchase HP printers.
I have an older Brother laser (HL-L2300D) and it's a work horse. STAY AWAY from HP. They lock you into their toner and subscription models. I can't speak for other printer manufacturers but Brother has a very good reputation for quality and fairness (like HP used to). Also, go with a laser. Ink jet will cost you more in the long run.
So far the only group I see benefiting from this "AI" push are shareholders because of the promises (false, exaggerated?) being thrown around by their respective corporations. Everyone else is being affected negatively. In my opinion this is the largest snake oil operation ever put forth and it seems that people are starting to catch on, thankfully.
"There will never be an EV as affordable" - not as long as people have this attitude. Speak up, vote with your wallet and don't buy the currently available nightmares. Let the manufacturers know what you expect and not accept what they are offering. We allow these companies to push their crap on us because we don't speak up, shrug our shoulders, and accept the abuse. Consumers have forgotten that they hold the power. Companies are holding their breath hoping we don't regain that knowledge.
I can't afford to have incorrect or hallucinated answers masquerading as truth. Why use the damn thing if you have to verify everything it spits out at you? That's a truly costly waste of time right there.
A vast majority of people live out in the boonies (like me in northern Ohio) and already have two (or more) ICE vehicles. Lots of people want, and need, two vehicles at their disposal. I can see those living in cities only having the room for one car. Wouldn't it be nice to have some affordable sane EVs to choose from?
Most people already have an ICE. Adding an EV to the stable is extremely cost prohibitive if you wish to keep the current ICE. An affordable EV for daily driving is needed to allow people to experience the benefits the EV offers. Something they can charge overnight on a 110VAC or 220VAC outlet they already have to top the battery off. You know, a sane EV, 0 to 60 in 8 to 10 seconds, 125HP to 150HP, none of the self driving BS beyond cruise control and separation. KNOBS and DIALS. You know, a true daily driver, not a rented (no, you don't truly own it, read the TOS) mother ship connected spying cell phone on wheels that's constantly allowing the manufacturer to suck you dry.
The cost of a typical EV is way too expensive (beyond stupid actually). Years ago we were told EVs would cost less because of fewer moving parts and simpler manufacturing techniques. The opposite has panned out. Now we have cell phones on wheels with so much DRM, spying, "self driving" BS, anti-repair parts pairing, and sensors causing even the slightest fender bender to cost thousands of dollars. Why not a simple car without all of this (yes knobs instead of a big stupid iPad) that is affordable? Something like an electrified Pontiac Vibe (a Toyota Matrix in disguise) would be an ideal electric car. The average person doesn't want ludicrous speed, 600HP, or a 350 mile range for a typical daily driver. I would use an electric if I could for 90% of my daily around town and back and forth to work driving. If I need to go on a long distance trip then my ICE will do. Gradually introduce the EV until the infrastructure for charging them catches up. There is nothing wrong with ICE and EV coexisting until the changeover has been completed. But at today's EV prices that isn't an option for a vast majority of people. Right to repair also needs to be passed at a federal level to stop the manufacturer fuckery too, but that's another topic.
