""our philosophy is to provide software for our machines free or at minimal cost...""
What utter BS, that has NEVER EVER been Jobs his philosophy, HE was in it for the money and nothing else and you see that through the whole Apple history after the Apple ][, but Wozniak is a different story..

No it didn't, Windows really did bring the personal computer into the consumer homes. You can hate Gates and Microsoft all you want, but it was because if them that PC's got cheaper and much more software as Windows did open up way more than MacOS, AtariOS or workbench ever did at that time.

There is one mistake you make, those flights are also all about getting data and practical practice on reusable rockets.

You mean, nothing worth seeing for you.. people like the desert, the artic region and more barren lands.. I personally would love to go to the moon, but you wouldn't get me to go on a beach holiday, laying on the beach doing nothing...

Big problem, trains only go from A to B, far from where most people need to be. And a lot of times it's way to expensive to lay tracks in certain area's, also trains make so much more noise.
And most people think dieseltrains are powering the actual train much like an engine powers most ice cars, but that's not true, most dieseltrains are actual electric trains, where the dieselgenerator is generating electricity.

That would be absolutely ridiculous. Never in history was there really extra tax because a person was replaced by automation, so why should actors be any different.

I'm still on Windows 10, so I don't know about Windows 11, but in 10 and previous versions, you could dock the taskbar at the top or sides......

Is it spatial 3D/360 interactive worlds which would be awesome for using with a VR headset.

Attached to: Waymo Robotaxi Hits a Child Near an Elementary School in Santa Monica
Yeah, so what you mean is, in theory the car should have driven 1 mph as that would have been the only speed this could have been averted. But in reality, the kid was lucky it was a robocar as if it was a human driver the kid would have been run over at a much higher speed as the human would not have reacted this fast, and would probably have driven even faster.
These kind of situation should be compared on human vs robocar in a realistic practical situation, not pure theory. And the practical realistic situation is, the robocar is much safer on the road for these type of situations, and will get even better in future due to better sensors and detection.

Uhm, most western countries do not admit they get hacked, it just leaks into the media.

Not really, as Steam is the defacto platform for the PC, you cannot really get around Steam if you really tend on making any money.

Attached to: Angry Gamers Are Forcing Studios To Scrap or Rethink New Releases
Just stop listening to those 'gamers' as in most cases it's just a very small vocal group, and most gamers actually don't care if the content is AI generated, as long as the game itself is fun.
Where does one draw the line? As a developer myself I would say if you draw it at contentgeneration, then I think it should already even be at code level, so no code should then be AI generated, everything should be coded by hand.. (a large group of new developers would cry if they can't use AI for code generation as they are already highly reliant on it).

Uhh, this was by design, and the user is warned. The never loose userdata is about active data/accounts, not if the user actually agrees to ditching their own data, in many states/countries they are even legally obliged to do it.
BUT, I sure would not make it as easy as with a simple yes/no prompt, and I would probably have a safety built in like destroying the data only after 48 hours or an extra confirmation through a second email or having to at least type in your password/securitycode with a big red block warning them the data will be lost forever without any means of retrieval and give them an option to back up the data locally.

"though Volkswagen still registered around 2,300 vehicles for every one BYD soldâ
That VW figure is including gasoline/hybrids, not full EV.
