This manhunt for Tesla owners is wild. The overwhelming majority of these cars will have been bought way before everything went to shit.
You really need to get your head out of your own ass if you think this is the route to get people to join your cause. Not everybody is in a position to arbitrairily sell their car and donate proceeds to charity like these Hollywood stars.
If the car is even yours to begin with and not a lease or company car.
now i throw my trash out the window.
You don't believe not using paper towels was a net positive so now you choose to create and by extention live in a pigsty? I'm not following.
Dare I assume you are aware we have "industry" because we consume?
I'm aware of this, but it still mostly just something for people speculate on. Something people buy, sit on, and then hopefully sell with a profit.
Bitcoin was supposed to be a decentralized money alternative, but the amount of people actually, legitimately, buying things with crypto are highly negligible. And honestly even if it did serve it's actual purpose, the cumulative power consumption would still be a point of debate.
You're not wrong with the comparison, but the whole point of the computer having control over the vehicle is that this doesn't happen, despite the driver's abject negligence.
That it's controlled by a few is only a problem if you use it... my issue with it starts before that.
My biggest gripe with AI is the same problem I have with anything crypto: It's out of control power consumption relative to the problem it solves or purpose it serves. And by extension the fact nobody with any kind of real political power is addressing this.
Here we are using recycled bags, banning straws, putting explosive refrigerant in fridges and using led lights in everything, all in the name of the environment, while at the same time in some datacenter they are burning kwh's by the bucket loads generating pictures of cats in space suits.
People are lazy. Getting people to sign up for a forum has a much MUCH higher inertia than just clicking join in a group on a platform they already have an account for.
People will subsequently evidently just "deal" with it's inadequacies.
Reddit has the same advantage, you have one account and subsequently have access to a billion and then some communities. Ditto for Discord versus self hosted solutions like Teamspeak.
Lemmy kind of adresses all of this, but actual forum software I think is still mostly the same as it was in the early to mid 2000's when I used it. It's demise is a shame but not a surprise.
Well, yeah. That’s life as an admin under the best circumstances.
I don't disagree, but I don't see the reason in tempting/inviting work to spawn. Especially in the cases where windows itself is optional.
I also think it's interesting you're not convinced it's a reasonable risk. I've had updates break things on clients under my control on several occasions, particularly post Windows 7 with the bigger feature releases.
It's definitely a "when", and not an "if" to me.
It's also worth pointing out Microsoft has already actively been working against allowing you to bypass the requirements. It's very clear to me they want to go towards some kind of hardware lifecycle management and I would definately not put it past them they deliberately make windows stop working on unsupported platforms at some point.
Also IT guy. Hot take indeed. I've done this but won't support this. I will almost guarantee some update will break shit at the most inconvenient time humanly possible and the people you've done this for will need your help, all at the same time.
I'm using this opportunity to expand Linux market share.
Most people only use a browser these days. People that ask me about Windows 10 eol get pushed towards Linux. There is really no need to spend money to replace a machine mainly used to browse the web.
Only if they need stuff that won't work on Linux or they really really want Windows to use Chrome or Firefox on for some reason I'll recommend complying with Microsoft's hubris.
But not before suggesting Apple sells pretty and user friendly computers as well. Because I really want this to hurt Windows's market share and by golly I'll do everything in my power to help.
There's some inertia that needs to be overcome, but it's coming. UK and Germany already posted (rather tame...) advisories.
"Freedom of speech."
Yes let's compare owning a cirtain car to holocaust denial.
