Yeah, that sucks. I’m not much of a gamer myself. I know there are workarounds, but I probably would stay with Windows for games too if that was the case.

As I understand it as a layman who uses GPT4 quite a lot to generate code and formulas, it doesn’t understand logic at all. Afaik, there is currently no rational process which considers whether what it’s about to say makes sense and is correct.

It just sort of bullshits it’s way to an answer based on whether words seem likely according to its model.

That’s why you can point it in the right direction and it will sometimes appear to apply reasoning and correct itself. But you can just as easily point it in the wrong direction and it will do that just as confidently too.

If you don’t want a Microsoft account, at this point you should really consider switching to Linux.

People in 1999: “Why would I need a phone on the go? People can reach me at home, and I already have an answering machine.”

Not that I don’t think you are right. But if it’s going to be anything like smartphones, the vast majority will use it regardless of the many drawbacks.

Too late. I work with Microsoft professionally, but I’m about to install Linux Mint privately.

That could be so, but that doesn’t mean you’re not also paying for the software with Apple.

It’s definitely not for free. You can buy several Windows laptops and Office licenses for a single Mac laptop.

Is Ricciardo not a possibility?

My ID.3 does about 300km fairly reliably, for €25. My wife’s Mazda 2 does 650km for €71. But destination charging around the corner went up €0.10/kWh in my street, so it used to be cheaper. My home charger installation is still backlogged (ffs it’s been months).

To me it doesn’t matter really because my boss all of my charging as well as the EV car payment. I just pay a tax to be allowed to drive my company car privately without restrictions. Obviously my wife takes the EV when I don’t need it.

At that price that seems like an alright car. It’s just a bit slow to fast charge.

Meanwhile gas starts at $8.34 per gallon where I live, while I can charge my car for $0.42 per kWh.

The charging network argument is getting less important in densely populated Europe, and at least here in the Netherlands. For fast charging I usually charge at Shell Recharge because it’s cheap with my card (for my boss, but small company so I try). Otherwise there’s always a Fastned, Ionity or other party. And there are so many destination chargers that I don’t really hesitate to drive anywhere. And anyway you can charge at Tesla too if there is availability I think, though for the reasons stated above I haven’t needed to.

And now other brands are coming out with loads of relatively affordable 100-150kwh+ options. At that point a cross continent vacation is still a bit of a hassle, but for daily use that’s more than enough since you mostly charge at home or at a destination anyway.

That’s work one year and retire in Portugal money.

I pay €32.5 for gigabit, but honestly it’s overkill for most people. I only got it because a competitor of my ISP was doing a promotion which got me from a 50 mbit (60-70 in practise) at around the same price to a gigabit for a year.

I honestly only used it to its full potential downloading a tv show because a certain streaming provider who pulled the plug on family sharing decided my house isn’t my house and I couldn’t watch the shows I paid to watch.
