Probably will be most notable for personal desktops with increased software support of consumer hardware. Mainstream only cares about what OS is pre installed, linux users are 99,9% advanced users just by the fact that they take the time to install an OS. Company adoption have the same issue, companies use what have worked before and what most employees are used to.. and of course, what is pre installed on the desktops they buy.

Desktop linux is unlikely to happen at any point, just by the above facts. I am also not convinced it is the first choice for most tasks on a desktop. Servers and mobile it works great and other LTS hardware. With that said, I think when governments adopt linux we will definitely see an actual market and ecosystem develop.. 2030? Maybe before, because countries will wake up and release its not the best idea to share all their data with MS. I could see something like Trump becoming president again, could actually spur on the adoption rate.

Sorry for the ramble, interesting question ๐Ÿ‘

Agreed. Although they started the show by showing a slide of how shit subways are.. so I don't think it is in Teslas interest to be an addition to mass transport. And they themselves walk a fine line between selling a consumercar or just reinventing buses

A car is a big financial decisions. Use the car for the lifetime you expecting from it and dont worry about what others think. You don't have to make excuses for anyone.

There are 100 thousand people working at Tesla and making it into the best product they can from their given constraints. I think we all overestimate how much influence Musk have on the actual product. His (part-time)job is to look after the TSLA-stock, and that is what you should actually dump if you don't like Musk.

You are correct.

That is weird. Running development environments maybe? Docker with windows iis?

Your description is hilarious, I'll be sure to check it out. Good job ๐Ÿ‘ and happy Halloween ๐ŸŽƒ

Sure they probably will. At least that is what they show on tv while flashing their logo. But it is a different story when you actually arrive at their location or order online. Companies use all kinds of dark patterns and strategies to get you to buy more or get the high margin items, that are usually their junkier stuff.

Where I am from it is not allowed to run ads with alcohol. What the companies do instead is create a non-alcoholic version of very similar branding and then run ads for that instead..

I am sorry, but these rust evangelist's are a bit ridiculous. Rust is I great language. But saying that the Linux kernal not having a future because not everyone will adapt a new programming language is stupid. Does he not realize he is putting alot more technical burden on the remaining maintainers that need to learn a completely different language because he decided the kernel suddenly neeeds rust, thanks I guess?

Very focused on the north American market. Where I live induction stove tops have been more or less standard for 20+ years. BUT I didn't know special round coils existed for round wokpans. Pretty cool. Although I think a wokpans with a flat bottom is fine for home cooking, maybe get one that is slightly heavier so its able to retain more heat as you work your food. It is kind of ridiculous that this would be an argument to get a gas stove, given that standard gas stoves don't have a rocket engine flame that is required to get the real wok experience at home anyway. I don't even think you would want that in a home kitchen. Also it is a bit niche for most people.

 

Tesla claim to be the safest car, yet they let this slip.

Made a comment in jest/maybe bad taste like a week ago in the tesla community to the effect of "would be very on-brand for Tesla to have issues with the seatbelts. Got downvoted to hell and explained to me how tesla issues are only regarding fit and finish and they are THE safest car brand on the road today. Today I see this article...
