I’m just this guy, you know? Except on Lemmy.
RIP Kbin.social
My GF is not technical and had an old, old laptop that barely ran, so I gave her an Ubuntu USB drive and helped her boot from it, but she did the install all on her own. She even fixed a printer driver issue by doing some research and installing an updated driver.
But that just goes to show that Linux isn’t exactly hard if you know how to read.
If there’s too much power the car will start driving you. Just like how Mustang drivers leaving car meets frequently get themselves in trouble by not being able to control the power they’ve got.
Thank you for linking to the actual report. It makes a lot more sense. Since they’re basing it on occupant fatalities it makes sense that smaller cars are deadlier, since they’ll suffer more damage in an accident. It’s also interesting that the small SUVs are more deadly, which I attribute to the low mass and high CoG leading to more frequent rollovers.
I’m all for mo powah baby, but only for people who can handle it. Grandma driving to the store shouldn’t be able to get their car to act like a Mustang leaving a car meet.
Plus electric cars are a ton heavier which means way more kinetic energy which can cause worse accidents, negating some of the crash safety improvements, especially in smaller cars.
I wonder if they have the data broken down by propulsion technology rather than manufacturer. One thing about Teslas and other luxury electric cars is that they have insane amounts of horsepower and instant torque. If you buy a Model S to schlep the kids around and are expecting it to behave like a minivan you’ll be really surprised what happens if you floor it.
I’m curious to know if this trend is the same for other high-powered electric cars like the Hummer or Rivian. Cars that go that fast used to be limited to supercars, not large and widespread SUVs and pickups.
(Note this is not saying electric is bad or we shouldn’t use it. But maybe manufacturers could ease up on the mo powah baby.)
But I also agree with the article that it could be related to their claims of “full self driving” because people might trust it too much and just not pay attention, or have it fail to detect something.
None of the people I’ve added as friends ever use Plex. Feels stupid to have that in the UX, and I’m not even sharing what I’m watching with them.

Testosterone is present in everyone
And I can tell you need a few years or decades for your testosterone levels to moderate.
There are people who don’t choose but still are still fine.
If what you’re saying is true Tom Hanks would have died of lack of sex on that island.
Or I’d have died in the six years between going through puberty and having sex. Or the five years later on when I didn’t have sex but wanted to.
“People need sex” is borderline incel shit.
Still better than ignoring the millions of people throughout history who haven’t had sex and lived long happy lives.
Sex is a basic human need.
Humans do not die if they don’t have sex.
I’ve been told by multiple people that if men do not have sex they become fascists.
So, no, not having sex is apparently not an option.
I can imagine that but I don’t think it’s likely. This will probably be more about allowing other app stores and side loading.
I bet the beancounters don’t like keeping excess capacity ready to go
Damn. More e-waste
What makes this different is the availability of bandwidth. Back in 1993 we didn’t have 20 megabit connections available pretty much everywhere. Without that running a thin client was going to be painful.
Businesses will like this because they pay less for hardware and can scale up and down a lot faster. No more will there be rooms full of defunct machines, long periods of time between upgrades. They can scale personal machines on the fly and will have much lower electricity costs.
I’ve been using a cloud gaming platform for a few years now and it’s really nice that upgrading my graphics card is just like resizing an EC2 instance. You need a solid internet connection and low latency to the datacenter but it works really well. It’s great being able to play games with full graphics on my laptop without burning my nuts.
However, you’re right that this can all happen in a web browser. But that’s an advantage for Microsoft, because they can sell the service to people on their existing hardware, lowering barrier to entry.
These boxes will be sold as loss leaders and practically given away. Which will be great because I’m sure they’re powerful enough to run pihole and maybe a few services.
Start billing your job for providing support services to their employees
Either way, I think all OS should at least give you a list of browsers on first use to choose from.
I like this idea if only because it means I don’t have the default web browser hanging around only ever having been used to download another web browser.
My actual point is that most people are idiots who can’t read instructions. I’m not insulting women, I’m insulting everyone.
I’ll remember to simply omit her gender in the future.
