Most of my thinking is non-verbal. I don't think in sentences. I CAN think in sentences and internally rationalize my actions and explain them and sometimes that's beneficial (rubber duck debuggin, sometimes it's good to verbalize and explain something) but usually I don't do it

Living through all mobile phone history, from non-existant when I was a child to today's smartphones, I would hesitate to use such absolute phrases like "X on the phone is never going to make sense". How many things we're doing on a phone today that we wouldn't dream of 20 years ago? Local models on phones don't make sense today but in 5 years? who knows...

If the isp doesn’t go down with the power outage you could probably get a big enough ups to keep the router and voip phone going for at least a couple of hours. Those things don’t use much power

Bad comparison. Lambos are regularly plowing fields and they're quite good at it. https://www.lamborghini-tractors.com/en-eu/

Did the new Leaf get dumber? I have an old 2019 model and it’s connected. In the mobile app I see its location, turn on AC etc.

What are global alternatives? Every company is connected to some country, there are no global alternatives. I live in EU and want to use EU services mainly because I want this part of the world to prosper. I want to leave my money and incentivise innovation in this part of the world because this is where I live and I want a better life here for me and my kids. And alternatives are always good, especially that they’re not closed. People in the US can use services from EU companies as well :) why not?

Not calling other software engineers 'losers' is not about political correctness. They're "losers" because they take their product on a path you don't like? Come on. Linus can be emotional in his posts because Linux is his "child".

Yes and no. Performancewise, the iconic Ferrari Testarossa from 80s/90s does 0-62mph in 5.8sec. That's in the ballpark of today's family SUV EV, like the Tesla Model Y (standard version, 'Performance' does 3.3sec) or Hyundai Ioniq 5 (again standard version, performance 'N' does 3.4sec).

But I'm sure the "fun factor" in a Ferrari is much greater and of course there's a nostalgia factor as well... it was "THE" supercar when I was a kid. I would love to drive one today and it would be much cooler than a Tesla Y or Ioniq 5 :-)

I think he implied AI generated porn. Perhaps also other kind of images that are at odds with morality and/or the law. I'm not sure but probably Samsung phones don't let you do that.
