"I've reduced it from 9,000 head to about 5,000 because I need less heads," Benioff said.

Fewer. Not less.

Wow, metaverse. What a uniquely tried-and-failed concept to be spending so much time on.

Stop posting AI slop. If you can't be bothered to do the work yourself and therefore be able to verify it's correct just don't post.

How embarassing for you.

You went from a plausible if naive viewpoint straight to an ad homineim attack when challenged. What a loser.

Yes, I'm positive. You seem to have a passing knowledge of this, but obviously not a complete one. None of thoe things you mentioned are capable of getting firmware and configuration from the manufacturer to program a new replacement module or update modules with new firmware. "Just replace all of your car's electronics with things that can be flashed with linux software" is not a reasonable or sane solution to anything. Again, more white noise nerd rage over linux and the state of how things actually work in the world, not limited to your parent's basement.

Because the solution I presented works 100% of the time. Ther rest of your post is just white noise nerd rage.

What kind of car do you drive? I bet there is no way to repair it if it needs modules replaced other than with windows software. b You probably own other things that are similarly reliant on windows-only software. So are you really serious about this position or are you just being smug?

The LTSC version has no problemswith upgrades. It's what anyone complaining about this stuff should be running if they need windows, and contrary to the nerds who's hobbies consist entirely of sitting behind a desk there are many, many things that absolutely only run on windows that do not play well with VMs and/or the consequences of failure are simply too high (like programming vehicls modules). And no, there are no alternatives in the overwhelming majority of cases.

.....and just in case you couldn't figure it out: you're agreeing with me. But looking like a fool becaause you don't know it.

What part of my post was discussing laptop parts? Was something unclear about how this was reponding to and speaking of auto parts specifically? And that it was a reasonse to someone trying to use an auto parts analogy that obviously doesn't fit the subject of this article in any way? Did you bother to read it in full or just decide to start posting with your nerd rage?

10x is ludicrous, that's not how car parts work unless you want to play "well ackshually!" with outlyers. And the article is talking about individual parts that cost more than the device is worth.

Of all the car analogies and parts you could have chosen, you choose the dumb hunk of cast metal that can be machined by something made in the 1920s and have absolutely been one of the most reliable things to buy aftermarket. What's it like being such an apple fanboy and failing at analogies?

I think you need to be pretty careful about painting with this broad of a brush. In cluding a lot of your other comments about not participating in the economy. Amish communities vary GREATLY by their leadership. Some of the Amish I deal with run a buinding supply store. They have computers, cell phones, CNC stamping machines, propane and diesel fork lifts, etc. All the kids working there have fire pages hanging off their belts from the local volunteer fire department. Some of them even drive.

All of that end when the get home, except the fire pages. Those are the only things that come in, after being charged at work. Cell phones stay in a box at the edge of the property by the mailbox.

So as you can see, some of these communities have found way to integrate that still carries on the traditions and customs of their home life. Also, they are far from broke and socialize paying for outside medical care when necessary.

They already know the audio on the flight deck is being recorded the entire time they're in there.
