If you have to run power to it, you might as well run some data as well. Never really the best idea to have mission critical equipment at the mercy of a congested wifi network.

They didn't really need to specify the bf is a top when they ended the post with a keyboard smash

Windows 11 is weird to me, I feel like I've only heard negative things about it but actually using it on a daily basis has been fine with a few tweaks. Using nilesoft shell and ear trumpet was basically all I needed to be satisfied.

That's not really unique to 11 though, I've had to tweak things on basically every windows version. Whether that was classic shell with 8, or clover for tabs in file explorer for 7.

At the very least Windows 11 seems to have a more consistent design language across the OS. It feels a lot less half baked than the style changes they did on 8 and 10.

I kind of wonder how a company with such an iron grip on SSO can't manage to be profitable. That and I literally saw a job listing from Okta last weekend, so they're probably just trying to replace their tenured high cost employees with cheaper workers.

Yes because they want to be compatible with what people learn on. So if they want improvements that benefit them they have to put those improvements into upstream.

This is how open source is supposed to work.

Because the app store and all of its marketing is a huge source of revenue for them. Giving up even the smallest portion of that market goes against their company goal of: number go up.

You probably have some parisitic power draw somewhere, my old Ford focus had the same issue. Was just a bad relay causing a fan to run when the car was off.

The fun part is that for some industries this will "work".

Not because the AI actually functions as a replacement for workers, but because a lot of companies have become bloated from aggressive hiring over the past few years.

So when things continue to function with the reduced staff they'll say how great the AI is. When in reality all that's going to happen is the employees that stay around will just be picking up more of the work again.

Hurray for out of touch CEOs!

There are other options on the market from what I understand, Apple just really liked how one company did it. Not enough to just license it like a normal company though, they opted to gut the company that made it.

I see people mention this a lot but I'm not sure if Tesla as a company really cares. Pickup trucks are not huge sellers outside of North America from my understanding.

And that's just pickups in general, the Cybertruck is pretty big. I'd imagine a majority of the sales would be for smaller pickups.
