Imagine buying hardware from Google, as if they haven't given enough reasons to distrust them.

They have what I think is the best implementation of vertical tabs, chrome doesn't even have them, firefox is so far behind it's not even funny anymore... brave's is terrible.

How many gigantic companies can join this before it crashes?


I am so actually beyond sad that I ever trusted Musk, all the signs were there, from the lies with Tesla to the nonesensical point to point "tourist" lies, to the Mars lies, to the fact that the spaceship they are developing right now requires an actual elevator to get astronauts down, it was never meant for humans, it was meant to deploy sats in space even cheaper, outcompete the competition and basically kill human spaceflight as a result... because less profitable human rated spacecraft won't be viable.

Oh yeah, did I mention how Starlink is literally already in the close to Kessler Syndrome territory? all it would need is for a strong enough solar storm to hit their sats.


The elevator was there when it was originally announced.

There's no Kessler Syndrome where Starlink is.

You'd know this if you read Kessler's first paper. It's online.

i.e if every single Starlink satellite crashes into another you won't get Kessler Syndrome.

And the same it true for the planned Kuiper.


First of all, yes I know about the elevator hence why I mentioned it, you know, first of all it's not that safe to be going down an elevator from what is basically a multiple stories high building while in space (#1) and (#2) why would you add complexity/failure points on purpose if your mission was being multiplanetary?

The spacecraft wasn't designed with humans in mind first.

And second:

This is a paper by Kessler himself:

Elevator already approved by NASA. They think it's fine. Haven't changed their minds.

Figure 1 on the graph should have shamed you enough into not posting.


Apple under Tim Cook stopped innovating, entirely. If Steve was stil alive he'd still be competing we'd probably have Safari on Windows to this day... and cheaper computers (like the NEO but with upgradeable RAM)

The MacBook Pro started using non-removable batteries in 2009. Also: https://www.folklore.org/Diagnostic_Port.html

I don't think your fantasy that Steve would have staunchly defended upgradable RAM in the past decade has much grounding in reality. It seems entirely likely that he would have supported the switch to LPDDR to enable better battery life, higher performance and thinner form factors at the cost of sacrificing that upgradability.


"I would rather have IP67 over a replaceable battery"

Not me, and not most people.


You read this in some report right? (surely the same report the EU read to justify this law). So got a link for us?


Have you done a survey?


I don't own EVs but I hope this is forced on EVs (cars and bikes)... that's the only reason I don't buy one.


Most modern eBicycle have a swappable battery. For extra convenience aim for big brands like Bosch or Shimano but other brands are not a huge deal to swap as the voltages are mostly the same: 24, 36, 48. You sometimes need to keep the BMS + connectors part but that’s not a big deal either with a few screwdrivers.

Don’t buy non-removable batteries bikes without the advice of a mechanist but those bike are not the norm.


It is just crazy how much of a tech billionaire centric the US government is, they can come up with Thanos' idea of wiping out 50% of the population and politicians would do it as long as Zuckerberg or anyone else in the techno bubble asked for it.

Stay tuned. With mass unemployment/underemployment there’s gonna a be a lot of “extra” people.


I really despise these christo fascist led tech companies that think they can dictate what we are able to see/play, etc.

Meanwhile the people that lead them go to certain islands.


It was obvious since the start that 1)it's probably all javascript based or android websites/programs that contain a ton of "vulnerable" libraries (or really old closed sourced c++ code).

Also you're not helping your case as a software company if you feed your code to an LLM, great job making it all public, because it will most likely be used as training data like it or not.
