Among other reasons, because you can't do that with a general purpose computer. A Raspberry Pi, even without it's WiFi and Bluetooth radios, can transmit just about anywhere on the radio spectrum it pleases by manipulating the GPIO pins just via software - no specialist radio hardware or software required.
Now, that's not a very powerful transmission, but regulating transmitters just en total is naive.
Certainly, with virtualization. Perhaps not mainstream, but my home server is creaking under it's current memory limits if I have the Windows VMs up. Yes, there are other approaches, but this is a valid use for gobs of RAM.
Maybe gaming too? Being able to cache the *entire* game to RAM would seem likely to speed things up, maybe make loading screens a thing of the past.
Nah, they've already got cellphones for tracking people. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm sure you're right & they'll track the vehicles, but from a privacy standpoint, that ship has largely sailed.
It's good they're trying to do something, but the devil is in the details. For example, define "vulnerability". Anyone who's tried to remediate Nessus findings knows what I mean - those Low findings that just. won't. go. away. And do they mean internal or external vulns? etc, etc. And these things won't be determined in the law, they'll be decided by the bureaucrats implementing it. Pray that they're smart.
Ok, so, it's range is 215 miles (according to the Tesla site, not the screwed up conversion in TFS). If you commute 30 miles each way, that's 60 miles, leaving you plenty for errands during the work day. Even if driving in traffic blows your efficiency (which should be less true of EVs, but still will have some effect) you'll not have range issues in that scenario. With it's safety, comfort, and low operating costs, it's a good commuter car if you're in the market for a nearly $30K commuter car.
Longer trips require more planning, because we're in early days. It's a lot like when gas cars were new & you had to be sure to have a way to get enough fuel. Now, you've either got to make sure there are chargers along your route, or rent a gas-burner for the trip. It's a trade off, and people have legit points to support whichever decision they make.
I have a feeling these things are going to sell out fast - hopefully the Foundation was able to accurately predict the demand, or can ramp up production quickly.
Translation: I'm really excited about this, and suspect a lot of other people will be too.

I turned that off in less than a minute. Can't imagine having it on all day, every day, & trying to work.
I think part of the pain was the resemblance to "the Battle Hymn of the Republic."
Why do you assume they haven't complained to Amazon support when the post says, "despite multiple calls to check on the status"?

There's lots of things you can't do with a ham licence, though - like broadcast, or transmit music.

So is US current, Euros, etc - it's just different people telling us they're worth something. This is the power of mass agreement.

It's not, but per the Tesla site, the range is 215 miles. Whoever did the conversion just messed up.

Nah, whoever did the conversion messed up the operation (divide/multiply). Per Tesla's site, the range is 215 miles.
Aaaaand I posted on the wrong comment b/c I'm a moron, apparently. /blush
Well, you say that but....

You can replace the SSD in the current Macbook Pro: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/M...
I suppose you could in theory upgrade the RAM though, but I don't count any Mac upgrade solution that requires re-soldering anything.

This isn't magic, and it's no replacement for a good secure software development program, but it's a fair bit better than nothing.

Yes, precious, we hates them. We hates them forever! Nasty little interfaceses.
A what? Oh wait, I think I remember hearing about those...they don't make them anymore, do they?
Yes. Then you run into a bunch of Wibbly-Wobbly, Timey-Wimey-stuff.

At least there will be some stress relief there...
