Although they have just rewritten it so there must have been some problems with it.

Not just farmers, they are somewhat abusive towards their customers as well. It's been good watching Aldi/Lidl enter the market and put pressure on them.

Every new car sold in the EU. Most make it easy to turn off but it does default to on when you start the car.

That’s terrible. Means I better drive my old Ford long enough for them to fix that ridiculous regulation.

I don't see them fixing it, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if they doubled down and restricted the cars speed according to the local limits.

Isn’t that the case for tech outside of AI as well. My friends that work in tech mostly eschew it when at home. They aren’t connecting their light bulbs to the internet nor buying WiFi enabled fridges.

It seems half of them spend their spare time woodworking or gardening.

The funny thing is most of the evangelists aren’t really in the in group and will be just as exposed to the results as the rest of us.

I told mine to code as if it is the love child of Fabrice Bellard and Jonn Carmack.

Doesn’t seem to be working though.

>Not the case for Porsche

I'd argue it is, at least once they started making more SUV's than 911's.

Then again, the 911 still comes in stick shift. But not as default. They also come in electric. Every petrolhead has a different reason to hate Porsche. And Lamborghini. And Ferrari.

Porsche has one duty to its shareholders. Keep existing. They do that by selling cars.

The Porsche SUVs deeply offend me aesthetically. The proportions are just wrong and the curve doesn't adapt across the body, so it looks like a monster truck. Far more so than things built to be that size (Land Rover and imitators).

Wait till you see Lambo’s SUV!

The Urus? It's .. actually not too bad. It's "not a Lamborghini", in that it looks completely different from the classic low wedge shape, but once you accept that there's no way to do "low wedge, but higher" and look at it on its own it looks alright. It's quite an aggressive look, "angry car face", but that feels appropriate for Lambo.

Maybe they're not what they used to be but they haven't lost all of the Porsche DNA. It's not all status. There are companies where the label is all that's left.

Which is to say, there are companies that've gone out of business. But if it was my company, I know what I would do, to put my kids through college. But I know what I would do, to look them in the eye after college.

Just kidding, I don't have kids.

It didn’t have to be that way but badge engineering a VW wasn’t a great idea. Then again I know nothing because they sell a ton of those things.

A ton of things broke for me when they restricted writing to the program files directory with XP.

I sometimes wish I’d never seen a Retina display. There’s no going back for me now.

>Correct. I don’t care about global warming or climate change.

I suppose that makes a change from it's not happening or it is happening but it isn't man made or it is man made but we can't do anything about it.
