As much of a joke as it is, that’s a real option for me. Won’t pull the trigger on day one, but you bet your ass I’ll be ready to go at a moments notice.
And your not taking into account the money the Chinese government is dumping into the industry to produce those low cost products.
The goal is to dominate the industry world wide, and you just want to allow that.
This isn’t ‘fear mongering’ this is realism.
Your last sentence is just hilarious. You believe we can’t do it because capitalism is bad, and so you want to cede the entire future of the industry to a forign power run by a dictator who would 100% use it as a weapon against us.
The world isn’t black or white, and in this case protectionism for local industry is the best of the many bad choices.
Frankly we should be dumping public money into the same industry, but we have a strong majority who are fighting it tooth & nail. If you want to be angry about the expensive EVs here, get upset about the lack of government subsidies compared to China.
It’s almost like, in such a huge country, there exist people with different tastes.
I, an American, went to India once. The hotel restaurant had a breakfast buffet. On one side was a glorious Indian spread. The other was some nauseating English breakfast spread, with like baked beans (that’s for summer BBQs not breakfast!).
Anyway me and my buddy head straight to the good side, when the hotel staff woman came running over to warn us that it was too spicy. She gently walked us to the gross English food. We confirmed with her, numerous times, that the Indian food was very spicy. We then dug in on the eatible food (the Indian side) and made a friend with the hotel staff lady.
It was somewhat spicy, but amazing.
Some Americans think black pepper is too spicy, some eat ghost peppers as a light snack, I am in between.
This “I work in IT but I don’t know how to mitigate risk” grandstanding kills me.
It’s OK to not like home automation, but to claim it’s because you’re super knowledgeable but in a way that displays obvious ignorance kills me.
These people aren’t more knowledgeable, they are either lazy, ignorant or just trying to justify why they don’t like something in a way that makes them feel superior (see options one and two, but shitier personality).
I mean, this sorta bolsters the idea that livable space is rare and valuable.
Of all of the universe Earth is the only place capable of supporting human life. Furthermore no human has ever managed to leave the earth/moon system, because of the extreme effort and risk required to do so.
Today, the Dell XPS-13 with Ubuntu Linux is easily the most well-known Linux laptop. Many users, especially developers – including Linus Torvalds – love it. As Torvalds recently said, “Normally, I wouldn’t name names, but I’m making an exception for the XPS 13 just because I liked it so much that I also ended up buying...
If I apt install an app, I expect it NOT to be a snap. I want it to use shared libraries, not bring its own along. They hide from you that they are installing the snap not deb package.
Then you run into all sorts of permissions issues accessing the filesystem from the snap app… Because snap is rather broken in this regard.
Functionally snap is a worse solution then deb, but I guess it’s easier on the developer/maintainer as you don’t get lost in shared dependincy hell.
I feel snaps should be an option if you need cutting edge version of a software that can’t use your shared libs, but never the default install method.
