What handbrake? Most American junk cars now have annoying foot pedal ebrake that no one ever uses because it's black and hidden. Or my favorite, the electronic push the button ebrake that's hidden in some back console somewhere where no one ever uses either. You'd be surprised how many cars are now parked without the ebrake activated on hills.
I'm actually quite happy about Steams push to add games to linux. It's actually bringing attention of the poor graphic performance in linux and people are actually interested in making it better finally. That and I can finally play some decent games in linux, despite the poorer performance, it's good enough for me not to have to reboot to Windows.
Yeah, because the Police are going to do SO MUCH. Every time I've reported skimmers to police, both in Europe and the US, they really don't give a damn. A lot of gas station employees also don't care. So yeah, much more fun to reverse engineer it, reinstall it so the guy that comes back to collect the data, gets a cryptoware virus on his laptop, then demand $10,000 from him. Would be far more effective than what the police do.
Of course, you have too, but it also adds to complications. A lot of these warehouses operate on their own system. If you have something else, you have to provide it for them. That means sending people out there to do it.
A lot of these warehouse operators aren't going to get into automation any time soon. Their market is cheap available warehouse space and that involves cheap labor, including illegals. They don't have the motivation to invest in it nor do they want too (Even though it would mean less claims and lower prices, but they don't see it that way).
I agree. But often times you're at the mercy of the warehouse owner/operator. And often times, the reason you're looking for this warehouse is space and low prices to keep your product costs low. And often times, the warehouse owner/operator insists on using his/her own inventory system (If they even have one) unless you provide them a physical label delivered to them or computers to access your system to print out these labels.
You haven't been to Amazon's secret 3rd party suppliers then who masquerade as "Amazon warehouse". Amazon likes to keep this a big secret and not let anyone known. Even the owners aren't allowed to speak about it, but the places I visit who warehouse my stuff, I see the Amazon labels being printed and handling Amazon orders. They're not the brightest people of the bunch (Low skilled minimum wage labor, you think they give a damn what gets shipped?) and Amazon doesn't really have any control of them or what they do (Underpaid management), at least from what I can see. So yeah, I more than likely believe hazardous material is being shipped by Amazon all the time without them notifying anyone.
And if you think Amazon demands they abide to a certain standard, yeah, good luck. I can't even get these warehouse guys to do it and keep proper inventory. They'll nod their heads, yeah yeah, but the reality is, low paid workers really don't care, but when you need the warehouse space, you really don't have much choice in the matter (They're all like this).
I already have plenty of cookies in my office and you're free to come by and have one. Also, I haven't lowered my standards. No, it hasn't been a cluster fuck and things are much easier to manage actually.
I don't know what this pipe dream you're speaking of. I run a manufacturing business and everyone uses a linux desktop here at my decree. I've had very little issues with people transitioning to the linux desktop. Thunderbird (With Calendar with Caldav) and Libreoffice works just fine for daily tasks. There is a decent enough interface for everyday tasks. There's decent enough distribution that makes transitioning to the linux desktop very easy. Yes, PLC software all run on Windows, but I find a lot of it runs fine in Wine, if it doesn't, there's VMWARE. A lot of people dump all this PLC software into VMWARE anyways because of the ridiculous licensing and difficultly transferring that license to other computers whether it's running Windows or linux, or Apple. Autocad runs fine in VMWARE as well.
The forced Windows 10 upgrade was the last straw. In fact, I even had a machine that has an HMI on top of WIndows 7 get a forced Windows 10 upgrade (Operator touched the Windows 10 upgrade popup and that was it), to the point that the machine is now useless. The manufacturer has agreed to redo the software to run in linux to my demands. When your equipment costs over a million dollars, well, they listen. Hell, even my Frick Air handler is running on top of linux.
But yeah, keep believing it's a pipe dream. I'm not the first moving everyone to the linux desktop world and I certainly won't be the last since the Windows 10 fiasco. Sure there's a cost associated into moving from Windows to the linux Desktop, but so does everything else. It was worth it for me. In the meantime, keep thinking we're "Linux zealots", because the chances of you getting hired in a business running linux is getting bigger. So start learning.
We should stop flying airplanes too! Considering how much fuel is burned by aircraft everyday, this cruise ship is pretty efficient for the amount of passengers carried and the distance travelled! But lets pretend airplanes don't burn fuel.
It's even funnier seeing industrial 'critical' machines running Windows 7 and the Windows 10 upgrade pops up all the time, covering certain commands for the machine. It's quite humorous. My latest run in with that was a Makino CNC machine running Windows 7 and having that popup constantly. One mistake and you have a worthless million dollar machine.
B&H and their tax free, free shipping is very alluring versus Amazon. Their delivery times are decent (Not as perfect as Amazon), but pretty darn good. Their prices are also competitive. I'm surprised how much that camera store has outgrown the "camera store" into an actually cool online store.
Pretty much spot on. I never had delivery problems with Amazon. RMA is so easy with Amazon and almost zero hassle compared to other online retailers (Tried Newegg? They pretty much give you the middle finger for RMA's). As for higher prices, well, I don't exclusively use Amazon for everything, but I do weigh my options with other online retailers and Amazon usually wins out for me for the fast shipping.
I'm definitely not doing much of those tasks on ARM CPU's. X86 isn't going away any time soon. ARM simply sucks for many tasks still. And when I looked for a cheap PC to do simple tasks, I still looked for an Intel, not an ARM computer.
As if anyone cares about that. There's a huge influx of cheap Chinese and Indian manufacturing equipment coming into the US that would make OSHA cringe, yet nothing is done about it and the owners don't care. What makes you think warning labels on drones is going to do anything? You have idiots running major corporations and with that in mind, you have the same type of idiots flying these drones.
Arch here as well, but I've installed and ran Ubuntu servers. When it comes to setting up a server, Ubuntu is simply a breeze to install and handling patches/upgrades is easy. Ubuntu community has been great at resolving issues while Arch will ban you for complaining about an application that doesn't work in Arch on their forums. Still, I like Arch.
Steam definitely has a ridiculous return policy for Americans. It's absolute absurdity. Even Amazon has a better return policy for games than Steam. So much so I now outright refuse to preorder any games or even buy any games on release thanks to Steam.

So basically, cars are now cheaper than what they used to be and most people can't afford them anymore. Great times we're living in.

Welcome to linux, where software to deal with photos, video editing, and cd/dvd burning is subpar and a big joke since the 90's.
The syntax alone makes you want to kill them all. Stuff that used to make sense now makes absolutely no sense.

Where do you get the idea this is useless? I can already find uses for this for industrial automation. This is just what I wanted!

If python is good enough for the NSA and NASA, I'm pretty sure it's good enough for me.

I'm using a VPN to access Netflix, I'm already annoyed by the blockade and I barely find any content worth watching on Netflix anyways.

Because Chrome is creating things that people want. Firefox isn't. Simple as that. At a time Firefox was like that, but not anymore.
