I might have paid for LTSC if they made it available for retail sales.

Lol I figure if someone gets a chuckle from me being an imbecile then I’m doing something right.

So they just elected Peter Hungary? Lol

Edit: I foolishly commented before reading which comm we were in.

Swappable batteries have already been proposed elsewhere in this thread, why wouldn’t that work for this?

Ok? The machines still need to be refueled at some point, it’s not like they run forever without stopping.

The battery needs to be sized appropriately for the application to minimize the frequency of charging breaks, just as the fuel tanks are sized to minimize refueling breaks.

I think is people don’t like it they don’t need to use it.

Tell that to the people living near new data centers who can’t get clean water and are being charged exorbitant rates for electricity. They have no say in the matter.

This is occuring all over the US, these issues are far from isolated incidents.

Many farms in the US already have 3-phase 480v service for other equipment like irrigation arms (although the portable ones use generators). It’s not unreasonable to assume that they could install level 2 or 3 chargers for EVs used on the property.

Layaway on groceries, doordash, and now on paying your friends. Do we need any more recession indicators?

Read the article.

Raising the recommended RAM requirements is not because the Resolute Raccoon requires more resources than before, not directly – this is not a 2GB RAM jump solely to load the OS and nothing else.

Rather, it’s more of an honesty bump. Components that make up the distro – the GNOME desktop and extensions, modern web browsers (and the sites we load in them) and the kinds of apps we use (and keep running) whilst multitasking are more demanding.

Love this functionality on my Polestar, glad to see it being ported from android automotive.

Edit: Actually, there’s some functionality they talk about that I haven’t seen yet but looks super useful:

Other preferences let you state your desired battery level upon arrival to have Google Maps add more charging stops.

Literally do not use it if you don’t like it, it’s really that simple.

They’re also capable of running fully electric, if and when shore-power charging infrastructure becomes available.

I was hoping they’d go more in-depth on the hybrid electric powertrain, but it sounds like the nautical equivalent of a plug-in hybrid. Seems like a good way to close the gap where electric infrastructure doesn’t exist yet but the need for capacity improvements couldn’t wait for that.

Edit: for anyone else interested in this, the BC Ferries site states:

The Island Class vessels are battery-equipped diesel-hybrid vessels capable of operating exclusively on renewable electric power once shore-based charging infrastructure is available—advancing our commitment to sustainable marine transportation and environmental stewardship.

I didn’t see it until you pointed it out. Imo looks unintentional, just an unfortunate result of the circuit traces being arranged as they are.

I will say that LTSC runs way smoother than regular windows, but that’s almost certainly because it’s got a lot of the bullshit stripped out.

Lmao. Are you offering pay my bills and provide health insurance?

Oh god don’t even get me started on our network drives lol. Searching for part drawings can take HOURS

It’s not really a matter of preference. I’m a mechanical engineer, not a developer, and several industry-standard programs are only available for windows. Bugs that come from running in WINE or another emulation layer are unacceptable when they can potentially cause delays in production, scrap parts from a misprint or miscalculation, or lead to a part failure that kills someone.

I actually have a batch script (might be a powershell script?) with this and some other stuff in it for when I’m doing a fresh install on my pc.

My work pc is locked the fuck down though, I can’t even change my wallpaper or the color of the taskbar lol.

Oh man I forgot about that one. Dumbest shit ever, I love it
