For me, Vivaldi had had the best performance next to Safari. FF and Chrome are easily smoked by Vivaldi when benchmarking. Idk if it’s related to M-series chipset or what, but my buddy who doesn’t have one has much worse performance on his laptop. Also, web and software dev, the saved workspaces that you can pin is killer.

As a full fledged Ancapper, I respect your opinion

I don’t think it’s that controversial unless you’re hardcore conservative. Realistically he just laid out the view of most of the Libertarian party. Nothing he said denotes woke or communist except for the part or him claiming to be one. I’d like to see the full context, because that woke communist comment probably wasn’t directed at Linus’ views

It’s part of the job, truly ask anyone in construction and also why I traded in my expensive truck. Nobody is taking money from me, as I voluntarily go to the job. I could sleep at the job site if I wanted (some guys do). I’m also entitled to a hotel room if I really wanted, but I’d rather drive the couple of hours, eat dinner with the kids, and sleep with my wife in my bed. There are some perks such as fuel cards, however I switched companies only 6 months agobso I’m low man on the totem pole for it, or wait till I get promoted. I’m in a union and well taken care of. I can just as easily find something closer, but I love my job, I love my crew, and I love my company. At the end of the day, there’s plenty of ways we are all getting screwed, but my company isn’t one of them. I’d rather focus on the monopoly cartels such as PGE, Verizon, Blackrock, and a plethora of others that are directly costing me much more and affecting my cost of living.

Today, 75 miles away. Yesterday was 88.

Because I work in the construction industry, so I must go where the job site is located

I drive 150-200 miles/day. I’m definitely zoned out for the most of it lol

Target. Walmart, Amazon, UPS,Lays, Annheiser-Bush …just a few companies who have already begun testing automated replacements. If you think they aren’t all biting at the bit to pull the trigger on this the second they can, you’re naive. They’ll see insane overhead price reductions and increased productivity, all leading to higher profit margins. The slow change already started years ago. You can retrofit an existing big rig for less than half the salary of a driver and utilize 3x the work hours.

lol feel free to rebuttal all of my completely valid points instead of reverting to name calling. If you actually read the comment , it’s pretty clear I’m not but okay 🙄

I suppose you’re right, but I would think many people would be just as interested in quality products that are a cheaper alternative, perhaps more so than watching them fail. Product hype is a thing for a reason.

I can’t speak for the domestic Chinese products as I’ve never been there.

That’s an insane amount of standing lol

What brand is it?

The biggest obstacle as an American who has lived in Europe that I see is our infrastructure. You can live comfortably fine your entire life without owning a vehicle in most of Europe. Public transportation isn’t disgusting and is on time. There are many many times more options for travel. But in Europe, they have the advantage of having civilizations living in the area for hundreds, even thousands of years in some spots. This causes the towns to become more compact as there is limited land available compared to the states. Major cities such as Chicago or New York could adopt something like this, but the vast majority of people don’t live in these cities. Instead the towns are expanded and vast in comparison. It’s not uncommon at all to work in a different town, have your kids go to school in a different town, etc.

I work in construction, I and most of the others in my area commute daily. I cannot take public transportation because 1. It doesn’t exist in any area nearby where I’ve worked. And 2. Even if it did, it doesn’t run at 4AM when I’m helping create the cluster of traffic on the highways. I was spending $1300/month in diesel to commute my Truck. I’ve since purchased a Tesla Long Range. While it is somewhat cheaper, it’s not a major difference, but more importantly I have to be extremely careful with my driving and charging. I have to make sure I charge every evening and if I only commute to and from work without additional stops, I’m looking at 20% charge left. This is on the long range model. On top of that, it’s almost half the price to charge from a supercharger than it is from Home due to the power companies having a monopoly. The battery isn’t supposed to be used on a supercharger daily, isn’t supposed to be charged more than 80% daily, and isn’t supposed to be drained to less than 20% daily. Degradation is a huge unforeseen problem in the market. Solar is ridiculously expensive and the majority of families aren’t homeowners.

I’m all for going electric and car free, but we aren’t going to be truly capable for another decade or two.

There are literally hundreds of videos on YouTube of people buying these cheap Chinese alternatives and I’ve yet to see one hold up to regular use. There’s one of an ebike catching on fire after applying the brakes downhill for like 100ft. There’s another where a dude bought one of these electric starter cars and drove it around town. It was falling apart as he drove and wouldn’t work after the second trip.

With the Chinese market being notoriously cluttered with cheap products that lack any sense of quality control and cut corners everywhere, it makes me wonder if the only well made products are the ones being produced for other companies outside of China.

I think huawei would have been a game changer in the west and could have heavily impacted the public opinion on this, buuuuut US govt wants exclusive rights on spying on their citizens instead. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It certainly is one of them. You can’t virtually close an entire sector of jobs all at once without serious repercussions to the economy.

Which is why this veto is retarded

Anyone who uses FSD on their Tesla would happily tell you it’s not even close to being safe yet. Hell if anything I’m MORE attentive when using the autopilot because it can be so sketch sometimes.
