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.

Walle took 800 years and still hadn't finished its task. Eve took 12 hrs
Eve took 12 hrs
Wall-E completed the task for Eve tho

Renting forever sounds like a nightmare. They already took housing from me. I don’t want to keep losing things.
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.
-
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.One could argue that the endpoint of socialism is the abolition of individual ownership. Maybe there's a bridge to be built there?

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

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.
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
-
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.
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.

I wonder if apple is outsourcing it's AI computing power to linux servers

wrote on last edited by [email protected]But is it really Window's fault when a software vendor decides not to support a newer Windows version, or a manager thinks cutting costs by not renewing a support contract is a great idea? I've seen plenty of software fail to compile on Linux because of, for example, slightly newer (or older) glibc versions being present. It's not as if using Linux means software will magically run on every version out there.

Banks are still running Cobol programs written by Jesus on punchcards. But it's not the same use case, Linux is mostly running on servers without a UI.

Untill I saw UP. I just broke at that first scene. It's just such a fantastic tale about life and the journey it is.
Up, wall-e, Toy story 1-3 are Pixar prime.

Eve just fucked around blowing up shit. Like everything Apple.
Wall-e tried to clean the world.

Y'all seen they movie circuit? Older set it films but Darling for practical effects and animatronic robots

As a child? In my perception the movie just came out.. wait... Breaks down for being old

That is the problem which containers initially were to tackle. Before I always ran into the issue that two programs need two different versions of a library.

I just want to say thank you for that line, it's beautiful. I'm absolutely going to steal it.

I don't know much at all about the EV industry, especially how their technology differs between manufacturers. But does that really matter, strictly speaking? Like the majority of "other" repairs are going to be just as uniform as traditional vehicles; things like tire changes, brakes, suspension, and whatever else I'm not smart enough to know about.
Other than the actual engine itself, can that other stuff really be fully proprietary, or non-servicable?
EDIT: I'm realizing that I didn't really clarify the distinction of "should" vs "does". I recognize that a huge amount of right to repair bullshit comes from companies being intentionally obtuse/greedy. What I meant to question was whether these restrictions on serviceability actually have merit, or if it's strictly enshittification being brought into the auto world.
They don't need much maintenance and the engine brake evs do to recover the energy removes stress on the regular brakes so the brakes last a lot longer.
