    What part of " doesn't run the software I need it to run" are you struggling to understand?

    There isn't anything better. Don't tell me desktop linux. It's not fit for purpose and doesn't run the software I need it to run. I do not want to run Linux. I, frankly, do not lik…

    There are places/services where you can drive a (few years old, and slightly detuned, but not THAT much) F1 car with little more than a (rather high limit) credit card. https://www…

    Anger at Elon, for a vast multitude of reasons, is entirely rational.

    Seems the usual HN MAGA types can't handle the truth. Keep downvoting me. Only shows how pathetic you are. Everything I state is easily verifiable from respectable public sources.

    What changed is that right after the CEO visited the White House, a retraction was issued. This White House does not have a history of being factual, but does have a history of doi…

    1st gen is 1P7X, and 2nd gen and later are certified to depths of at least 50m. Way beyond IP5X.

    Captchas worked for a few years too. Then computers got better at solving them than humans, and we're still dealing with the fucking useless things decades later.
