my work desk at home has a Windows PC and a iMac. For video editing, the Digital Audio Workstation, and CGI/ Graphics work. Two LG Ultrawides on the Windows machine and a pair of portrait 22" monitors flanking the 27" imac. There is also a stack of used mac minis set up for a render farm running 64gig SSD's that makes Reaper and Final Cut render like a screaming ape.
At work work... the one that pays me a weekly wage I have a windows laptop, an OSX laptop and a Linux workstation. The laptop is a "Meh" class 2016 Lenovo 17" that is slower than the 2012 Macbook pro. the Linux box is technically a server as it's a 16 core sun server repourposed for running assorted VM's for differnt projects and hardware simulations.
So forcing them hard closed for everyone is the answer? give me the "click here to violate your warranty" button that unlocks the bootloader and puts all the liability on myself.
They are computers that limit your access to protect you from yourself.
Sadly the hardware is also designed to protect the hardware from you as well. Very Very few tablets or mobile system allow you to have full control over them and install whatever Operating system you want.
Yes little billy, at one time we had real freedom where you owned the hardwware you purchased, not like today. But back then the populace had more education and actually tried to learn on their own. People tinkered with electronics and built things.
That was before the "restore consumer pride act of 2022" where making things yourself was deemed illegal. I remember when your grandmother actually made her own sweater, and I actually repaired a car once.
The number of older CNC machines I have kept running because of Freedos is huge. I have made a shto-ton of cash on smaller machine shops where "professional" IT companies have told them that they cannot fix the control system for their CNC machines.
I come in at $95 an hour and make it work again, custom is elated and trash talks the "professional" company that said it was impossible, I get more calls to fix more from other companies they spread the world on... Rinse and Repeat.
This was 10 years ago when I was almost doing 2-3 CNC repair jobs a week. Now it's maybe one every 2 months, and I don't even do IT professionally anymore.
This is awesome, I really hope we start another console war of technology jumps every year and real innovation this time. Xbox360/PS3 was boring as hell. I want to see a console that will run the new Unity Engine at a full 4 K at 120fps and maxed out on polygons and texture mapping settings.
if this base is outdoors on the surface of the planet..... it's not secret. even google earth has enough resolution to easily spot anything the size of a gas station on the surface of the planet and identify it. a "secret base" would be obvious as hell.
My daughter cant get Section 8 housing because she works a part time job. She can barely afford the crap trailer she lives in, but she is somewhat self supporting.
So it's a big fuck you to those that are trying to be self sufficient but cant afford the normal Comcast $80 a month for 15mbps
I tried working with the compute module and it's a Pain in the arse. we switched to using pi zeros (yes they can be bought for the $5.00 price mark without too much trouble.
While the compute module gives you absolutely everything on the connector, we dont need it so a standard pi zero works perfectly and a whole lot easier. Just opened another box of 10 last night for another project.
You just have to not be lazy and jump when the stock notification arrives that the store has them back in stock again to get them.
If a power control system or any other important infrastructure has it's SCADA system connected over the internet or even TO the internet....
The people in charge of it are MORONS.
There is ZERO reason to use the internet as your data systems for control interconnected. quit being cheap assholes and use private point to point. on an air gapped network.. And while you are at it HIRE COMPETENT ITSEC PEOPLE. Not Ex cops, those guys dont know shit about computer security...
I've got 6 guns! and I can hear them all whisper to me to go on a murder spree... I tell them to shut up and cover my head at night with a pillow so I cant hear those dirty rotten guns trying to get me to go kill...
Why did they not tell me that guns do mind control and are sentient? I need to sue the Firearms store for not telling me!
And remember they did ALL OF THIS with integer only math and NO freaking math libraries.
Want to drive a fre grad programmer nuts? have him convert celcius to Farenheit and Kelvin with 4 decimal places of accuracy using only integer math on an 8 bit micro, no you can not use ANY libraries at all, and you need to do it in less than 6 lines of code.
Honda civic, $350 to replace the drivers side mirror.
I think you need to update your information on how much exterior car parts cost, It's already "hundreds of dollars" for a few pieces of plastic that makes the housing and the single glass mirror assembly.
Sadly most car makers dont bother with real aerodyanmics on the mirror.
2007 civic - standard zero engineering mirror. 2007 BMW X3 - has real aerodynamics built in with air channels and even vortex generators to disrupt the flow at the trailing edge.
Yes BMW did it to reduce noise, but noise reduction is an improvement in aerodynamics and reduces energy lost.
And the mirrors are not 50% of the energy lost it's the freaking front end of the car and the grilles on the front that cause most of the losses. It's why hypermilers plug up and smooth the nose of the car and add kammaback fairings way WAY before they chop the mirrors off the car.
Mirrors have far FAR more contrast range than any camera and LCD made. Mirrors go down to 0.000000000000000001lux for low light visibility. Mirrors work when submerged Mirrors have over 8K resolution Mirrors work in a lot of conditions where even a $1500 video camera fails to get a useable image.
So unless our cars are coming with $4500 4K cameras with FLIR overlay...
Now I do like the advantage of using some processing, cameras using the computer to do car and motorcycle recognition and alerts, cameras using IR at night to see further than we can, cameras blocking the headlights of the BRAH truck that is raised up 3 feet and has the BRUH blue headlights added that are aimed way too high.

All the device makers utterly REFUSE to do this.

Yes because WSJ is the epitome of engineering information....
Got any quotes from Fox news as well?
One fact about humans.
They don't take responsibility for their actions, and they lie hard about accidents and try to place blame elsewhere.
even bigger retards that vote for them.

You are correct.... except those survivalists are in positions of power and are all really fucking insane.

The media is certain that guns force people to kill, so trucks must do it as well.
They refuse to deal with the real problem, there are batshit insane people in the world that want to kill others....
Maybe making murder illegal will fix it?

"They tried having two systems, the workers wouldn't use them correctly"
The simple solution is to fire those workers and hire some that have an IQ over 100 that are competent enough to do the job?
The United states military seems to be able to do this, hell even the ARMY is able to.
Considering I am american your whole argument fell apart like the poorly assembled straw man it is.
That awesome feature that the windows version has....
Advertising....
Many colleagues were impressed that my linux skype install on the laptop was ad-free.

It's called sensationalisim. Our media is more about entertainment and less about news.
Europeans need to understand that our news is more like the "SUN" and other tabloid news and less like the BBC.
And remember they did ALL OF THIS with integer only math and NO freaking math libraries.

Just like Justin Bieber fans...
Oh jesus christ... Trump followers are EXACTLY like Bieber fans....
I bet they like Nickelback as well.....
I completely agree. Senators and Hospital administrators are a threat to america.
