Everyone on this board seems to think that the next auto fuel source has to be one-size fits all, like with gas.
It also seems that carbon activists can't talk enough about how tortuously slow it is moving away from gas cars, but won't embrace anything other than batteries to actually make that happen. You're just shooting yourself in the foot, which is why no one takes all of the whining seriously.
This crunch is entirely the fault of the c-suite.
It had far more affordances and consideration than even modern Mac OS, and it showed by (lack of) this commentary against it.
Yes some people need the office to socialize, but I personally have probably a few too many hobbies and probably an oversized Dunbar number. I really don't need office culture "perks" playtime.
I strongly feel that hobbies and community are the answer, not onsite white collar office work, lol.
These people need to sit down and shut up for once.
I used to like Coda and Coda 2, but I was more of a Mac simp back then, and didn’t realize that they literally just plopped in some other editor (can’t think of the name at the moment). Plus, the one-window workflow was just a bad idea. Especially if you have multiple monitors at your disposal.
Insane to think that they only thing they make now that has actual utility is their FTP client. Still. After all these years.
I find that if I am searching about programming topics, especially in option, DDG does great. If I am searching about more general things, like say a list of smoke points for various cooking oils (last night), google seems to do better.
Mining lithium is a horrible, polluting process that wastes tons of fresh water. One thing to put small quantities into phones and computers. Another to suggest that they should be used for all cars (unless the end goal is to have only the super rich driving cars).
Solar panels involve mining coal (so much more moving away from the coal economy) and quartz, and will pile up as toxic junk after 10 years or so.
Wind turbines can’t be repurposed after their useful and short (comparatively) life and will pile up as junk.
It’s not even a question of “don’t have catastrophic outcomes”, it’s a question of a slow-moving guaranteed catastrophic outcome, or the possibility of a fast catastrophic outcome.
It’s totally fine to ask everyone to stop eating meat, but millions of Americans running their cars to/from the office everyday? Not a peep.
Our politicians and business class are wholly unserious about this as they were about COVID-19.
I don’t see how this is appropriate for today’s MacOS. MacOS will use RAM. Currently it’s using about 34 GB of 64 GB on my machine.
I understood on their ultralight notebooks, but the iMac is not giving me confidence about what they might offer for their Mac Pro.
