    No, the answer to the Urus (an SUV) is the Purosangue (also an SUV) which has been out for a while and looks somewhat decent. The Luce is an answer to a question nobody asked, prob…

    Ah I see... Apparently they're aiming to produce about 2500-3000 Luces (Luci?) a year, and they're building about 14,000 cars total annually. So not too many in keeping with their …

    No. The way I'd phrase your last sentence would be: "It's NOT a Ferrari." That's the whole problem. If you told me this is the latest Chinese luxury EV, I'd shrug my shoulders, say…

    I don't think it is because of the business aspect; Boeing in any investigation won't have leverage as the investigations are run by the local equivalents on the NTSB. To the exten…

    As others have said, this is something that should have been communicated very clearly. The reason for using Backblaze is to have my data backed up, and not to worry about it. You …

    Just checked the Backblaze website where you can find the following page https://www.backblaze.com/computer-backup/docs/supported-bac... which says: This article answers the questi…

    This is very well put, and echoes my sentiments! I had installed Backblaze on my own home machine many, many years ago, and it has saved my bacon a few times. Since then I've also …

    Well, I was in a rush writing that. I omitted the fact that not only did he publish his own papers bypassing peer review, he also set up a citation mill with a number of other Else…
