    I can run outlook and MS 365 in a browser so it's really the other stuff I need functional to be able to switch.--

  • I'm halfway competent, spent 10 years in IT and even compiled my own kernel back in the early 2000s.

    My last 3 attempts at running Ubuntu turned into complete and utter failures, including having to totally reinstall the system over the top of itself because the system became so corrupted it wouldn't even boot.

    And, I barely got steam to work on it. I wasted hundreds of hours and ended up with a barely functional computer that couldn't print, didn't support my computers wifi card, and 90% of my work programs aren't available.

    Oh, and someone please support AMD video cards.

  • There actually isn't a single human programmer in the entire world. Every single one was fired and replaced by Grok, ChatGPT and Deepseek.

    I know all my old friends who worked at Microsoft are now janitors!

  • Most of those were actually malware that I stalled in your computer and infected the browser, not an actual ads.

    Ads back then were mostly static banner ads that lived at the bottom of a website. They started getting worse in the early 2000s.

  • China uses little kids to build them. If we did the same in the US, America s would want to have MORE CHILDREN because they would literally pay for themselves!

    Just imagine if all middle schools in the US required 2 hours of iPhone assembly per day. It would be excellent industrial training for the future generation!

  • Check your attitude. And no, I have no idea what your point is. Lots of non-US places are auto dependent and cannot be served by transit.

    There are over 1.4 billion cars in the world, and less than 1/5 are in the US. Most vehicle sales are outside of the US.

    Do you even travel??

    The first commercial PV solar product was nah just in 1909.

    See story above, and original article in Modern Electrics magazine in 1909:

    https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015051407073

    EDIT

    Since people didn't read past the headline, the article is about a startup company in 1905 that developed a commercial electrical solar panel by 1909 and was worth 160 million in today's money.

    In 1909, the inventor of the solar panel was kidnapped and ordered by his kidnappers to destroy all information about this solar panel. He was eventually released, although he did not destroy the solar panel or his documentation, he did shut down his company.

    So this is a pretty fascinating development considering that at this time period we actually did have early production electric cars that were manufactured in larger quantities than gas vehicles, and now we learn that solar panels were commercially available, at least for a short time.


    And the solar panels could generate

    Who's TRYING To KILL The ELECTRIC CAR? And What Can You Do About It?

    This seems like a relevant climate change related ev discussion / call to arms to fight he FUD:

    #StopBurningStuff #ElectricCars #Tesla Wise to the lies? Bored of BS? Fed-up of FUD? Misinformation about Electric Vehicles and Clean Energy is at an all-time high. Vested interests have almost limitless funds with which to pollute public discourse, and it's easy to feel powerless to prevent that. With your help that can change.

    The Fully Charged SHOW and FairCharge are coming together to #StopBS and to combat this '*fear, uncertainty and doubt' through fast-turnaround infographic rebuttals, proactively placing spokespeople on mainstream media, and engaging with political influencers. Your financial support via Patreon can make a material difference, as we persuade people to #StopBurningStuff.

    We need your support to turn the tide of negativity, and spread the positive energy that is the lived experience of millions of EV drivers all around the world. This movement will be powered

    A report says “fuel” for EVs cost more than gasoline. Was it prepared by a bunch of orangutans sitting in front of computers? No, it was done by Anderson Economic Group.

    Ford e-transit electric van sighting

    Spotted in the wild in Portland - I talked to the driver who is using it for regular delivery work. Now I see him every week at the fast charger in downtown. Pretty cool stuff!

    Critics condemn superintendent Mike Miles’s ‘new education system’ that removes students’ access to books

    The largest school district in Texas announced its libraries will be eliminated and replaced with discipline centers in the new school year.

    Houston independent school district announced earlier this summer that librarian and media-specialist positions in 28 schools will be eliminated as part of superintendent Mike Miles’s “new education system” initiative.

    Teachers at these schools will soon have the option to send misbehaving students to these discipline centers, or “team centers’” – designated areas where they will continue to learn remotely.

    News of the library removals comes after the state announced it would be taking over the district, effective in the 2023-24 school year, due to poor academic performance. Miles was appointed by the the Texas Education Agency in June.

    In a press release announcing the schools participating in the “new education system” program, Miles sa

    Foreign LLC continues to acquire land in California critical to energy and national defense.

    FAIRFIELD, Calif. (KGO) -- The United States Air Force is investigating a company that's purchased $800 million of land near Travis Air Force Base, one of the most critical military bases in the U.S. But after eight months of investigation, government officials have been unable to identify who's behind it nor rule out any threat to national security.

    Flannery LLC was founded 4 and 1/2 years ago and was registered to a Washington DC-based law firm.

    There is no information about the actual ownership of this LLC. The previous Reddit thread from 4 years ago has some interesting tidbits of information that you may be interested in reading in addition to the new article.

    What's additionally interesting is that the land that they acquired around Travis Air Force Base will be bayfront property with f
