Good to hear they’ve had some success in the US, but I do worry about the quality of their consumer products. Too many companies can’t translate success in onr section of a market into another section.

I really want a small EV.

I’m entertained, I need a book in this universe.

Oh yeah during the protests they totally arrested people who were just outside their own apartments. It’s fucking ridiculous.

I’m sorry you had to go through that.

Odd thing to be that annoyed by. I don’t understand people who obsess over the way other people’s houses look. Unless you have an expensive car or a project car it seems like a waste of good space to store a car in the garage. But hey, to each their own.

If I had a garage it would totally be used for shop space and storage. Most people here seem to use their garages as additional space. My car can survive the rain just fine outside. The tools and equipment I wish I had space for, not so much.

Shame you let other people’s reasonable decisions bother you. Not everyone wants to obsess over opening a car.

Trumpanzee…that’s brilliant!

I’ll say the same thing I just said in another post.

What a trash bag of a human being.

What are some good other options? I haven’t kept up with the advances with this stuff in a few years.

I really enjoyed using MATLAB in school and it really helped with some of my graduate stuff. What scummy stuff are they up to? Any alternatives you’d recommend?

I switched my gaming PC to Linux two months ago and I’m loving it. I’ve only had to boot my Windows drive twice.

Yeah, we wouldn’t want to completely humiliate them for the reasons you mentioned, but they still should have removed the established judges/officials among other things.

I know hardware compatibility has massively improved, but back when I was messing with Linux in high school compatibility was a huge issue. I managed to end up with two laptops and some desktop hardware that were truly difficult to get running. It’s like I somehow found a list of incompatible hardware and chose the worst options.

The most frustrating were an evil Broadcom (I think) wireless card and an AMD switchable card (they did actually make a few). That graphics card wasn’t supported for very long and was a bother even in Windows.

Edit to add: I was just saying that to point out why some people might have that opinion, even if it isn’t valid anymore. I’m actually thinking of jumping back on the Linux bandwagon.
