Apple has a long history of insanely expensive ( but quite high quality) displays.

There are photographers and design professionals out there, but it’s pretty niche market. That’s what the Vision Pro seems to be aimed at. But it’s not very good for mouse based design, and harder to trust in the usual proofing/editing environment. Plus wearing it for an 8-10 hour shift is never going to happen.

That was before the right made up “public/private partnerships” to hide government handouts to Boeing, defense contractors, drug companies, and Monsanto (or whatever their new name is).

Aren’t a bunch of them deeply closeted though? They’ll say they aren’t but in their hearts, they’ll have to ban it.

There have been years where a lower class is the overall winner in some endurance Motorsport races though. So your analogy is wrong. If a GT3 Porsche happens to be more efficient or if it’s a year with poor LMP teams, a lower class car can certainly win the overall victory.

There will still be class victories, but that’s separate from an overall.

Also classic car (historic racing) is totally awesome, the Goodwood Revival especially has done a really good job making racing exciting again. Their YouTube channel is really well done too.

If the point of the embargo is to pressure affected parties to enact change on the governments policies, offering the reward after sanctions are lifted would be an added incentive.

It should be allowed or even encouraged to help the power of the sanctions.

My money out on a major state banning the cyber truck after it Julians a pedestrian.

I know that a normal car with sharp protruding bodywork/rust holes, wouldn’t pass the safety inspection in at least the 2 New England states I’ve owned cars in.

I could see CA and the rest of the west coast banning their sales first, or requiring so much rework that they aren’t viable cars there.

Cool, TIL, just curious about what happens to the posts you’ve made, if you delete your old account?

Our 90s Mac ran OS 7.6 with 24 MB of ram and a 500MB HD.

Played shareware/warez games pretty well too, even OG Warcraft over 56k dialup direct to my friend’s PC.

If the stock wasn’t so overly valued based on Musk-lies I’d agree, but I think they’re in trouble either way.

ie: the people who care about climate change enough to spend $40-100K on EVs of mediocre build quality.

I suppose his maliciously designed Truck will convert a few bro-dozers who need a new truck to commute in, but I don’t think it’ll help Teslas bottom line.

Are our accounts portable yet? Until they are most people (especially contributors used to the fake internet points system) are going to stick with their first account with fake internet points.
