Sorry, best we can do is microtransactions, fear of missing out and AI slop. That'll be $90.

Okay, but your EV has an even smaller, slower charging battery than mine.

In the time it would take to get swappable batteries standardised and swap stations built and running, cheap EVs are going to have a lot more range and better charging speed. Swap stations aren't up against today's EVs, they're up against 2035's EVs.

You couldn't crank your CPU in the olden days, it'd make games run in fast forward.

Nobody wants to deliberately use the wrong compression type when extracting, so modern tar will figure out the compression itself if you just point it at a file. So tar -xf filename works on almost anything. You don't need to remember which flag to use on a .tar.bz2 file and which one for a .tar.xz file.

Eh. My car's only 200 or so miles of range on the freeway and charges pretty slowly by modern standards, but I still find I want to stop before the car does and the car's ready to go before I am.

When a charging stop comes three hours into a longer trip it doesn't really slow me down. I want to pee, stretch my legs, and get a coffee and a sandwich anyway at that point.

We don't really need battery swaps for cars, and with a longer range EV with faster charging that's going to be even more true.

I think people who don't own an EV don't really get home charging. They think of fast charging as being equivalent to filling a gas car and imagine using a fast charger during a 20 minute drive to work like they fill up, when actually fast charging is something I only do once every few months.

Sounds like it's even stupider than that - he wants to tariff movies sold in the US by US companies which were filmed overseas. So it not only doesn't go through a port, the finished movie doesn't cross borders at all.

Hollywood accounting is very experienced at making money disappear when taxes are due, I can't imagine tariffs would pose any problem at all. Anything that crosses the border will be worth $0 and make a loss, they'll have the paperwork to prove it.

I might be completely wrong about what Trump meant here. Which is fair, really - he likely doesn't know what he meant either.

And we're pronouncing it JIMP?

does he just love that racist asshole look?

It's his way of supporting truth in political advertising.

I mean, they haven't actually finished setting it up yet. That part makes sense.

People in the USA don't need to travel for that, just wait.

This. Your mail isn't going to be opened by the CEO. Hurt the business, not the worker. Mail them a box of rocks or something, the company will pay postage on it and the minimum wage guy opening packages will laugh.
