It just seems dumb to me. These companies don't have any power, if people simply exercised their free will and stopped using the platforms they would die off.

Good parenting is not shoulder hovering... It's teaching and instilling values and lessons that get the child to make the right choices in regard to what they do with technology. Like how we teach kids not to talk to strangers. Parents

I don't know how you can compare it to smoking. There is no way to have a healthy relationship with smoking. It's always damaging your lungs and such no matter what the positives are. A person can absolutely have a perfectly healt

Combining the WiFi with the router never made sense to me. Routers can last a long time and WiFi gets new versions with new capabilities every few years. I would rather just connect a separate wireless AP to my switch, preferably also with

OK, but EVs are a fraction of their cars... And the OP didn't say EVs, so I was confused.

GM has not dropped CarPlay. I just checked out some 2026 GM vehicles (Chevy) and they list CarPlay.

Is it weird that we don't have a way to update the system without rebooting by this day and age? I think there are things in Linux like live kernel patching (kexec, ksplice), but why by 2026 is this sort of architecture of live system

Maybe it's not for you? I don't pay, so I can't even use Opus... So this is an upgrade over Sonnet 4.6 for me.

I knew I paid more per GB in 2018 for DDR4 than even today's inflated prices of DDR5...

Maybe get your governments and citizens to innovate and create their own instead of relying so heavily on other countries. I thought that's the direction other countries were trying to go.

What about those ones where you need to slide some piece of a puzzle in. I don't see those mentioned at all. Are they effective?

I save for retirement yes. I only spend about 30% of my income to live and other other 70% I save for retirement. I don't feel like I'm being cheap or limiting myself. I have hobbies that I enjoy, computers, home theater, pickleba

This never made sense to me. Doesn't this assume you are spending ALL your income though? If I make 100K and get a 3% increase, that's $3000 more. But if I only spend 30K to live, and my living expenses go up 5%, that's only

I have 0 interest in wearing glasses on my head all the time though. People spend several thousand on Lasik so they don't have to wear glasses all the time. I don't see glasses as the ultimate form factor that everyone uses.

I don't understand why people take shortcuts in school. You pay a LOT of money to be there to learn. Taking shortcuts seems completely counterintuitive to me.

Either they have a E5-2620 V2 from 13 years ago, or they have DDR4, not DDR3. The V3 and V4 only support DDR4.

So what's the house comparison for me then? If people are going to say owning is always better, then what should I be owning instead of renting my studio?

I ride in my friends Model Y Performance with HW 4.5 from time to time and it always gets us from point A to point B without any interventions that I have seen yet and this is in Wisconsin, and yes it was working well with some snow and ice

It doesn't look like they are developing self-driving? What other company is developing self-driving at a level of sophistication as Tesla that you can actually buy in a consumer vehicle?

Somehow I wouldn't be surprised if Messenger had more LOC than an early OS... Software today has gotten too complex and bloated in a lot of cases.

Yeah, I was going to say this too. I write code in my spare time for fun and hobby and personal skill development and I don't use AI at all. AI isn't ruining anything for me.

Like anything I am sure there are good and bad experiences. I mean both my pay and rent go up by about 3% each year, barring some position change, but 3% of a 100K salary is $3000 more a year. 3% of a 650/mo rent like I pay is $230 mor
