No, I do understand. I still think it’s a bad decision. It’s not just about how critical to the mission it is. It’s useful as a form of communication with family and entertainment. In that context I do think it’s “important”. And also in that context, I would want something reliable.

Then my job here is done!

False equivalency.

If you were going on a 10 day hike to the most remote location on earth, would you bring the most unreliable device you could find, or something you can count on?

I disagree

If it’s on the ship, it’s associated with the mission. Windows has a very high habit of barfing so over itself, as is evidenced by this article. It’s bonkers to me that they chose to use Windows for anything at all.

Also Red Star OS

Let the Dandy Lions grow like we do in Europe

No, Dandy Lions crowd out native North American species and result in less diverse ecosystems, which is bad.

This guy has completely lost the plot. I don’t think it’s possible to be even more disconnected from reality.

It was a weak attempt to keep relevance when faced against Gemini and Claude. But it’s completely unnecessary now that OpenAI has contracted with the government. They get all that sweet tax payer money and get to repurpose a ton of GPUs making stupid videos to supporting that new gov contract.

I HAAAAAATE this so bloody much. It’s such a gross feeling when your device literally stops working the way it’s supposed to work just because a website wants to shove more of their crap at you.

A Motorola

I’m running Linux, so I’m also completely unaffected by this.

That reads a lot like McDonald’s ceo eating a burger consuming a product.

FTFY

They’d have to fork from early Windows 10. There’s so much garbage introduced by humans at that point, nevermindLLMs.

But on the other hand, Windows is a dead and broken product to me. So I don’t care.

That’s a form of 2 factor auth, but that’s not what all 2 factor auth is. There are many services that use 2fA time based tokens, or other methods. Any service that uses your phone number for 2FA is actively making the security on your account worse.

No forced 2 factor authorization that is an excuse to grab your personal information to sell it.

What?

anyone that bought a cybertruck did so knowing full well that it’s a giant “fuck everybody but me” vehicle

That’s how many people see it, but I know a few people that are entirely disconnected from “celeb culture” and the news in general, and just think the cybertruck is neat technology. And to be fair, putting aside the massive safety issues with it, it does have noteworthy technology that on their own are interesting.

And I think the cross section of people who are interested in the cybertruck, people who are not particularly intelligent, and who also have money are generally going to be the customer base. It’s fine to criticize, but to say “no sympathy” when they die is gross.

Felon Muskrat went full mask off way back in 2016 when he called child rescuers a Pedo.

That wasn’t “mask off”, that was him being publicly petulant. That was him not knowing how to react to someone telling him “no”. It was the start of the cracks in his pubic veneer. Most rational people would say his reaction to that situation was ridiculous and childish, but I would bet there’s a good amount of people who still aren’t aware of what he said about the rescuers.

His “mask off” moment was during the 2024 USA elections when he went full Nazi (openly).

Granted, there were always indications for people who knew what to pay attention to, but that’s not most people.

Anybody that bought a cyber truck did so knowing full well Elon is a Nazi.

The cybertruck was available to buy before he went full mask off. And not everyone is “in-touch” with everything.

No compassion at all

Disgusting.

I guess we all need hobbies.
