And today’s Apple isn’t yesterday’s Apple either or the one from the 2010s. I’m just saying I bet Apple expected another cheese grater or all aluminum design reminiscent of a cybertruck from Ive if they let him design the exterior.

You must not remember the beige boxes they had in the 80s and 90s

I guess I misremembered then. Once I saw this car, my suspicion is that this may have been the canceled Apple car. My theory is Apple saw how much it cost: or something and decided to sell to Ferrari to recoup some of their investment. Apple’s biggest mistake (or saving grace to keep them out of this industry) would have been to not let him design the whole thing and Ferrari was left with this.

That’s because it was designed by Jony Ive.

For real napalm-2 you need benzene. I’m not entirely sure what the ratios are for each, but the anarchist cookbook called for 50/50 on gas and polystyrene, but it might be too thick. Either way, when testing don’t breathe the fumes

I work on my own vehicles as well. I’m looking forward to my first oil change at 100k miles, lol. With gas at $4/gal and paying 14.48¢/kWh, I’m getting 107 mpg equivalent dollar for dollar not even hyper-mileing. As far as long term costs go, I’m expecting to get 250k miles out of my batteries and if the Bolt doesn’t last that long, I’ll repurpose the batteries into a whole home battery backup. Even then, if there’s a battery swap that becomes available to her a faster fast charge, I may turn my bolt’s battery pack into a home battery pack sooner. I’d much rather reuse what I got than recycle

I’d recommend buying used over new. Before Iran war bolts were going for $12k

I never saw it that way. With Linus creating his lab for serious technical reviews, it always felt like Steve’s hate for Linus was rooted in that. During the whole shitstorm around the Honey fiasco, he seemed to be mad at Linus for stopping working with Honey because Linus found out Honey were scummy? That’s when I gave up on Steve. Whatever he’s put out since, I haven’t seen. That’s why I was asking if he’s given up on his hate crusade because that’s exactly how it came across from the word go: Someone set out to take out a competitor.

Does he still have a hate boner for Linus?

Edit: it’s an honest question. I wrote off Steve for just stirring up YouTube drama.

Email is the og federated internet social interaction.

It won’t stop them from trying though. Just look at what Bambu is doing.

Just on Firefox, dedepends on how old we are talking. Gen z? Probably not as they’ve mostly know Chrome as having been the best web browser. Old Millenials and young gen x know it as the next IE alternative after Netscape died. Old Gen X maybe depending on how old. Gen alpha and boomers, no way.

If knowledge of both is required, then even less so. Anytime I bring up Linux I get the feeling that it is like bringing up religion with a stranger.

I was refering to the US and UK and France. National problems have to be handled by nations. Like I told someone else in a different thread, I’m not your enemy here.

To ignore it is to give it more power to grow. The 1930’s proved ignoring it doesn’t make it go away

I’m a firm believer in know your enemy

I’m not defending it, it is just the reality we face for freedom. It is just their mentality and how they see things vs how the next person sees it or you see it or how I see it. I’m not your enemy here.

Easy access to other avenues is the first step in digital independence from an authoritarian family. It’s the same thing for minors getting access to birth control without ID or parental concent. So long as you gotta have a bank account and show ID to buy a phone, this is going to be a problem.

can everyone?

That’s a different question with all the laws passed since 9/11 revolving around random people being able to easily get a phone with no ID, no bank account, etc like they are going to the store to get a gallon of milk. The patriot act can die in a fire. If you want to affect change to make smuggling an unrestricted phone to someone in a cult, the patriot act has to go.

I never said it was right, it’s just thier mentality

Voluntary as in I can choose a different mobile operator.
