It seems to me that the future of electric mobillity is more car renting/leasing than car ownership. Servicing will be included in the monthly payment and you won't have to service it yourself
I'd rather service it myself and save my money, and own it so I know that it's been properly cared for and not shit/cummed in by a dozen people.

I rewatched Wall-E the other day. I forgot just how staggeringly good that movie is. How the hell does every single robot have their own personality. Not to mention how everyone that Wall-E interacts with ends up for the better, after a lil chaos, of course. I cried so many times. I'm 33.
Windows PC or Linux PC? Cause Windows PC aint gonna run shit with the build quality of the hardware and OS of the average PC.

Not just cars. The logical endpoint of capitalism is a rent-only economy. Everything will shift in ownership to the ones with the ability to purchase above the market price. Undercut everybody for infinite gains in the future.
Edit: I should say that i meant unregulated capitalism. I honestly don't find anything wrong with people being well payed for doing exceptional things.
Taking advantage of capital gains is NOT exceptional.You're right, but I just noticed something about that (I'm probably very late to the party here): so an endpoint of unregulated capitalism is that ownership is limited to a few, who almost certainly acquired ownership through some form of class exploitation and theft. Or, to oversimplify it...ownership is theft. Hmm, sounds familiar.

Yeah, he had the mac boot up noise lol
The pre cloud OG Mac boot up sound. Eve is more like an IPhone. Sleek white and locked down but great when it’s connected and working.
Anyone else have an older Mac still ticking away? I have a 2007 20” that’s only had an HD->SSD upgrade and is still good for email file and printer serving and remote backups to FireWire and usb HDs.
I’ve got an old 8 core Mac Pro (the perforated giant aluminum one) too, but haven’t bothered booting it in 6-7 years. It was my render farm for Keyshot for years but I think one of the Ram modules failed at some point.

Walle took 800 years and still hadn't finished its task. Eve took 12 hrs
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Wall-e was a single unit carrying on the task of thousands (tens, hundreds of thousands? We don't know if others were still functioning or we're global).
He was doing the task he was built for. EVE's task was completely different - visit the planet every so often and search for the sustainability of life. She did that as per her programming. Different tasks. -
You sound like one of my PMs. "Klugerama, your coworker was able to resolve a UI issue in just 3 days, why did it take you over 3 weeks to convert 50k lines of code from C# to Java?"
"Klugerama, we have tried the carrot, it is now time for the stick!"

The difference between wall-e and eve makes me think of cars. How old and even some modern combustion cars are built well and engineered to be highly modular and user serviceable. EVs are highly proprietary. They rely on closed systems that can’t practically be serviced without special equipment.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m NOT a fan of fossil fuels at all. I just don’t like how cars have been slowly morphing into proprietary unreliable cellphone-like commodities, or how the push towards EVs seems to be accelerating that trend.
But an electric car is basically just a bigger rc car, it doesn't need any real maintenance. There's no fluids.

Renting forever sounds like a nightmare. They already took housing from me. I don’t want to keep losing things.

Remember when apple started getting dinged for programming their batteries to fail artificially and making them unnecessarily hard to replace just to force more people to upgrade?
Mark my words. That trick is coming soon to a Tesla near you.

Not that my one purchase every other decade really matters.
Meh. I doubt most people buy a new car every 2 years. Nor that most people buy multiple of them. And "it's just me doing it" is a good thing to leave out. Possibly most people think that, even if perhaps not in this specific case.
Valid. I just lack general faith in the practice of voting with your wallet. My default assumption is that it takes an unreasonable amount of persistence and coordination, and that the majority of people either don’t know or don’t care about whatever issue is being considered.

Eve took 12 hrs
Wall-E completed the task for Eve tho

I don't know. Personally, I see myself earning a high income and renting a home and a car to free myself from the angst that comes with ownership.

Taking advantage of capital gains is NOT exceptional.One could argue that the endpoint of socialism is the abolition of individual ownership. Maybe there's a bridge to be built there?

Can relate, Wall-E is easily my favorite Pixar movie

Every single one of my macs are bricked it's obviously by design

You can always get an older car and do a conversion. If you can find one with a bad/no motor you could even save a few bucks.
No, I can't always do that. Even professionals can not always do that. What do you smoke to believe this?
-
True. It was also an extremely commercialized capitalist dystopian future. I doubt Linux was being used, and there’s no way Microsoft could create something with WALL-E’s long uptime and low maintenance.
Whoops, you almost mentioned that it's not actually Microsoft making the computer, they make the OS. While Mac makes the exact same but a little worse hardware that can only use one specific os that also reports everything and demands updates to start

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I can almost guarantee you the oldest running windows PC is older than the oldest running linux PC due to software that can't be re-compiled and brought to newer hardware/OS. Think hospitals, factories, etc.. Granted, this argument does not really work in favor of windows.
