  • Windows 10 support has ended, but here's how to get an extra year for free

  • get the last piece of my hardware dependence off...my 20 year old DAC

    The $9 Apple DAC is unironically good. I can confirm it is plug-and-play with Mint.

    Edit: To be clear, it is good if you just need an audio output (the core feature of a DAC). If you want crazy DAC features, it clearly isn't it.

  • For a desktop OS, I have been recommending Linux Mint to new Linux users. The UI feels familiar to a Windows veteran, and the initial setup is designed to be user friendly.

    However, don't fret too much over it. Distros are mostly just a pre-configuration of the OS, all of them can do everything.

  • The issue isn't it not working, the issue is security updates no longer being made. Feel free to keep using 10, just don't put it on the network.

  • You can, but you won't be getting security updates. Best to not put an OS without security updates on the network.

  • New Rules Could Force Tesla to Redesign Its Door Handles. That’s Harder Than It Sounds

  • Being able to quickly get out of a burning car is important. If you only ever use the electronic door handle and your electrical system is damaged by...the fire, then you are much more likely to burn. The same problem exists on the outside of the car as rescuers have a harder time getting in to save people.

    Getting stuck outside of the car in the winter is also pretty common when there is not a good place to grab when the door is covered in ice.

    Car manufacturers have been making normal door handles for forever. Tesla 'fixed' something that wasn't broken.

  • I have had to put quite a bit of force into a car door to get it to open on many an occasion. (Ice is a bitch) A normal door handle just works, stop trying to fix it!

    Jump

  • Seriously. Every other car maker has figured out how to make normal door handles. You can even buy the parts directly from them if you find it too hard to design yourself.

  • The good news is there are other places that do this still:

    Is There Any Deal shows the price history for video games. This one I particularly like as it is good at showing you other stores that often have better prices.

    And Camel Camel Camel does this for Amazon.

  • BTC is also up for the year by quite a bit.

    I'm very confused here as well.

  • Software update bricks some Jeep 4xe hybrids over the weekend

    Jump

  • The power train (and other vital components) of a car should be air-gapped from the internet. It's crazy car manufacturers are even able to brick a car like this.

    Is your car going to get security updates 5-10-20 years from now? No. The power train should be air-gapped from the internet.

  • Framework supporting far-right racists?

    Jump

  • I’m talking about your average Joe in the middle that doesn’t really follow politics but was mad at things getting more expensive over Biden’s term.

    Ah, yes, there are also the terminally dumb and uneducated.

    This is the response to people being unhappy prices sharply increased under Biden? People are hardly 'dumb and uneducated' for not liking price increases...

    A statement that will always remain relevant: "It's the economy, stupid."

  • The constant purity tests is a major part of what got us Trump. People don't like that shit and additionally destroys coalitions. It's enlightening to see a huge portion of the community is keeping up the purity tests.

  • Have you…never had a job?

    Yep. And if customers are getting pissed due to charitable donations we are doing....that incurs a significant cost and becomes a massive hurdle for any future charitable donations.

    So, as I said, lesson learned: don't support open source projects.

    Edit: Next meeting about supporting open source project: "Hey this author has opinion x, anti-x is going to hate that. Let's just spend the money elsewhere."

    Following meeting about supporting a different open source project: "Hey, this author has opinion anti-x, x is going to hate that. Let's just spend the money elsewhere."

  • Framework appears to intend to support bad people.

    Framework intends to support open source projects. That has been their goal. Ascribing a different intent to it is just factually incorrect at best.

  • Lesson learned: don't support open source projects. One apparently has to get legal, pr, and a whole investigation (on an ongoing basis!) for every project. Better and cheaper to just not.

  • Wow framework sells a lot of computers to real fascist psychos

    A computer company doesn't do a political evaluation of each of their customers. When was the last time you had to submit your political beliefs in order to buy a computer from...anywhere?

  • I think the rest of your response feels wrong in a fundamental way but I haven’t thought through why yet.

    Either that or a pair of opinions you hold conflict with each-other.

    Internal consistency is highly valued. As long as all opinions are treated with the same standards, then you have a nice steady base for your views and how you interact with the world.
