The US in particular has many oversized cars. Fuel is cheap, the roads are wide and there is a general imperative to get a car bigger than others for safety and status. If this pol…

As if… Firefox’s popularity and then decline stems from consumer perceptions of functionality and general availability (i.e. marketing)

Reddit mods are often terrible and exploit their position of power. A sub's popularity is invariably because it covers a topic that is popular outside of reddit and through whateve…

I guess because future plans could be negated via 3rd party apps. Getting rid of them now will ensure future plans can be enacted without risk they'll be circumvented.

I’d assume if the lid was kept on then there’s little scope for new bacteria to enter the chamber

Gonna dispute pretty much all of that but in particular there are not frequent delays due to suicides.

I use it on a standard spec windows laptop and it works fine… Little bit slow and stuttery in places and definitely a resource hog when screen-sharing but it has a ton of functiona…

The first hour was entertaining and interesting but as it became more cluttered with fight scenes i found it boring. Maybe it’s just me but I don’t see the appeal of fight scenes w…

Teams has been a phenomenally successful product. It might not work great in all dimensions but overall it delivers in so many ways. To talk of it as broken implies it is there to …

Don’t think a hose that costs $10 is comparable to everything going into these contraptions that cost $1.5k

It’s not half and hour a day. More like an hour a week. If you don’t enjoy the process of gardening you shouldn’t do it. Over-engineered robotic solutions for small plots are never…

Don’t disagree with any of that however all the effort is before the robotics gets involved.

Agree. Long-run, a drone type machine may well become successful (flying around zapping weeds) but this is way over-engineered for what it does.

That’s not that true and the robot will hardly help. The reason people don’t do it is that commercial farming is so efficient once you factor in costs growing your own is not cheap…

No doubt the tech is interesting but conceptually this is pretty awful. Anyone who has done it knows if you have irrigation sorted there is very little needed for seedlings to grow…
