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

yeah, it's probably turtles all the way.

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".

The same way they're at version 26 of iOS and MacOS

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 :-)

and perhaps you've never used a good motorized screwdriver with torque control.

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.
