Are there affordable EVs being mass-produced that do not suffer from an overabundance of touch-based controls?

I don’t really know what I’m talking about

I must not either, because I usually just assume that people who actually use the word chirality in a sentence tend to know what they’re talking about.

They’re probably butthurt about this: https://www.zdnet.com/article/why-remove-russian-maintainers-of-linux-kernel-heres-what-torvalds-says/

Sorry

I live in a corporate-managed apartment complex in Louisiana. Corporate recently made an abrupt switch to ActiveBuilding (from RealPage) for property management, and the market rate went up 25% at every property they own in the area.

The ownership and management didn’t change at all; they simply switched their software. When I heard it was coming, I took screenshots of the property websites for comparison. The 25% increase was literally overnight and market-wide.

I am hopeful but not optimistic about the DOJ case.

Basically, this, or this, with respect to a certain leadership position within a certain type of company. Given the major news event regarding an executive with the same title at a competitor’s company today, it wasn’t great.

“Send fire, not police. I just need someone brave to show up.”

Treat it like collecting a urine engine oil sample: first start the stream, then interrupt it with the cup. That should sufficiently purge the residual flavors.

And without the context that the Ars article provides, that information means very little to the casual visitor. There is absolutely nothing on that website to provide any of that context. It certainly doesn’t say that by uploading your photo, you are agreeing to allow Google an irrevocable licence to use it to train AI.

The only thing there is an image that says “Take control” which just links to the author’s cloud storage company. This whole thing is thinly-veiled viral marketing.

Sure, but that still feels very “You agreed!”. The only place on that website that tells you “beforehand” is hidden in the terms of service. That’s literally no different.

The site (TheySeeYourPhotos) returns what Google Vision is able to decern from photos. You can test with any image you want or there are some sample images available.

…by submitting them to Google, who then keeps a copy of them and uses them for the exact same purpose which purportedly compelled the author to leave Google.

This kinda shit always pisses me off because if you actually look up the statistics for the use of tobacco products over the years, we’ve been seeing a steady decline since the 90’s. So I’d like to counter your counter and say where is the actual data showing the increase in tobacco products among the youth?

Five seconds of Googling will find those results for you.

The TL;DR is that the 2024 numbers are down significantly from 2023, and that much of that decline is attributed to bans on certain vaping products. But in many years prior, usage was on the rise. For example, in high school students, use of any tobacco product rose 38% from 2017 to 2018 alone.
