This is why things like climate control being physical controls makes sense, you can reach over without looking and turn the dial to increase/decrease temperature without looking. For audio, I use voice control or on steering wheel for almost everything, or save changes to pre-sets for when I am out of traffic.

Were CITIZENS being assaulted by immigration while Obama was in office? How about citizens being assaulted by ICE? You fail to understand the backlash against what is going on, where the US Constitution is being ignored. EVERYONE has protection against illegal search and seizure in this country, that means citizens, legal residents, and even illegal residents of this country. If they have an actual warrant, then that is one thing, but ICE doesn't get a warrant, they break into the homes of citizens without a warrant.

So, if you love what is going on, then you are AGAINST what is in the US Constitution, and you are an enemy of everyone who actually believes in what this country was founded on.

Obama didn't have immigration shooting citizens with ZERO accountability. When citizens and legal residents of this country need to be afraid of being killed or even just assaulted by the thugs people like you love so much, that's a VERY large problem, along with the violations of the US Constitution, which has protections against unlawful search and seizure. Now, "It's ICE, if you tell them they can't come in and search your home, you suggest that it's our fault when ICE blasts chemical weapons in our faces after breaking down our door".

Comment Re:Canada cannot afford this (Score 1) 303

People really don't understand the difference between spending money, and investing money in things that will end up making money. Picture in the USA if the "how will we pay for it?!?" crowd were in charge when the Interstate highway system was built. Of course, back then, the very wealthy had a top marginal tax rate of 95%, so the wealthy people were paying for a lot of things they are not paying for now. These days, someone making $50,000 per year pays a higher percentage of their income in taxes than someone making $250,000,000.

When you have software that has been released for free, of course the attitude SHOULD be that you share the stuff that is available for free. The problem is when it costs MONEY to develop software. Yep, the big commercial software costs money to make and maintain it, so why should it be free to copy?

There's a big difference between "I have so much money, everything I make I can give away for free!", and "put money in to the development process, put money into sales/marketing, put money into SUPPORT, now, for all of that effort and money, product revenues will hopefully be enough to at least break even, if not, make a profit.

I work for a living, just so I can pay the bills, so if I make something in my spare time with the thought that it will make me money to sell it, it would be NICE to actually make money from it. The very wealthy already pay a lower percentage of their income than what I pay, so let THEM have things made that will be free for the public to use.

Comment They invest in AI and then warn people about it (Score 1) 51

So, these banks, venture capital firms, and all of that, have put so much money into AI related companies, they sense that when the AI bubble pops, they will be losing a HUGE amount of money. Rather than seeing the problem and then diversifying it, they double down and then warn people that if "everyone" doesn't support AI, the economy may collapse.
