What I want is to make phone calls where the other person can hear me and vice versa, and use a few hundred megabytes of tethering per month without paying an arm and a leg.
Project Fi gives me the latter but not the former...
It sometimes takes Windows longer to install updates than it takes me to install an entire Ubuntu OS. What the hell is it *doing*? It once took me four *hours* to install some Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package (of a slightly different version than what I already had) on a fast modern computer with plenty of RAM and a SSD.
They use a lot of fuel per passenger-mile traveled for mass transit, and because they fly, that fuel has to be carried in some energy-dense form: fossil fuels. This is bad if you're not a Trumper.
The question is whether this Chinese system is more efficient.
How are you going to verify if it's spyware or not?
Most likely the software is programmed to download automatic updates. This means that it could go from being benign to being a trojan overnight -- for whichever subset of IP addresses the people running the update servers want.
It's impossible to audit the security of autoupdating code; you're at the mercy of whoever controls the updates.
It could be -- I put a large premium on zero-carbon, since I see climate change as a very important problem. Once you figure that there are no gas costs the Tesla starts to look a lot better. (Even at my Yaris' 40mpg, 200,000 miles = 5000 gallons of gas = $15000-ish.)
But if Tesla is charging for supercharger access, that cost ought to be figured in as well... anyone know how much that is for the Model 3?
Traction control only ensures that you have static friction rather than kinetic friction; it won't help you get more absolute traction trying to go up snow-covered hills. But thanks for the information!
Is anyone making a reasonably affordable four-wheel-drive electric (or "range-extended electric" a la Chevy Volt) vehicle?
My Toyota Yaris ought to have another hundred thousand miles left in it, but when it dies I'd like to go electric. I've also taken a job in Snowsville, USA, and between that and my fondness for the outdoors may look into getting a 4WD car.
At one point I had to use Windows Update to download a new version of the "Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable" which, for whatever reason, there are 23492834 versions of.
This was on a computer with an i7-6700K, a SSD, 16GB RAM, and fast internet.
It took four hours. I have no fucking clue what that machine was doing during that time.
Microsoft probably figures that you spent forty hours actually working and fifty hours watching a circle made out of dots go around and around while Windows wanks.
Many CPU's still don't need active cooling. The fans in my laptop (XPS 13, i5-6200U) only come on under heavy load, and that only because of the cramped interior of the machine. The "M" cpus in things like the new Macbooks use even less power, and the Atoms less still; I had an old Atom netbook whose cooling fan died, but the machine still ran fine (including under load) without it. (I think its CPU had a TDP of 2.5W.)

This is basically it.
I use C for things that have to go fast.
I use perl for things that have to deal with text.
Do scene releases include things like SHA-1 checksums?
It doesn't have the memory leaks that Chromium did last time. I'll try Chromium again and see if it's more stable.
What's wrong with Opera? I'm using Opera on Linux with no trouble.
Quite often. I wouldn't be asking to have this capability if I didn't use it.
My Lubuntu 17.04 system doesn't, at least. Not sure what win10 or something does.
I don't want to use 50GB of mobile data a month.

So in other words Microsoft hasn't figured out apt yet?
Somehow my linux system never explodes while trying to update anything.
Seriously, why?

... I thought climate change was a Chinese hoax?

You mean the PROGRA~1 folder?
I read ReFS as ReiserFS and thought "oh, just like Microsoft to have a murdery filesystem."

Who do you work for? It's good to hear that there are still HR departments who acknowledge the utility of this sort of talent.
This is what the Chevy Volt is for: an electric vehicle with an on-board generator when you need it.

In highway driving (where you care about range) most of the power goes to maintaining your speed, not for a bit of acceleration.
I was driving 85mph on an interstate in Nevada yesterday and a Tesla passed me like I was standing still...

Mine's "password" instead since it's required to be at least eight characters.
