Which is weird, since I’ve also seen claims that XAI services are not selling very well, because other services are superior.
As you write, it’s yet another scam by Musk.

I think worth less should be worthless, then comparing it to the IPO target isn’t really necessary.
Joke aside, it’s impressive if it’s actually worth half what the price target is set at. Considering the actually realistic value of Tesla is less than a tenth the stock value.

My guess is that SpaceX is also closer to a tenth.
And X is literally financially worthless, it worth to Musk and friends is just as a propaganda outlet for Nazis.

By more realistic values, Musk isn’t anywhere near the richest man in the world. It’s just that his assets are pumped up sky high based on lies and false promises.

2 completely different things from a market perspective, and something Google already did years earlier.

Goddammit, they are 0.01 Gigawatt short of time travel. 😋

Remember how long Facebook worked on the Metaverse? And even changed their name to Meta because Zuckerberg was convinced he was on to something. Now many years and billions upon billions of dollars later the project is finally shelved as a total failure.

Also remember Tesla/Musk has kept promising true FSD next year for a decade, and they are barely closer today than they were a decade ago. Yet they keep investing loads of money on it, and promising that very soon now, it will be available for all Tesla cars.

Remember when Microsoft launched the Xbox, and stated they were ready to lose billions on it for 10 years if they had to. That one succeeded, but later when they tried the same with Smartphones and bought Nokia they didn’t.

You are clearly underestimating how many billions the trillion dollar companies are ready to lose on this. in the pursuit of coming out on top. That’s how it is with AI too, the companies that spend the most on AI are companies that have loads and loads of money. And they can easily continue this shit for a decade without running out of money, and they will because they are determined and can afford it.

The bubble may burst, but it will probably mostly affect all the small players, and maybe dent the stock prices of the big players a little. But don’t count on it to be over in just a couple of years.

Hopefully it will, but my guess is it won’t. My guess is that none of the biggest players will relent for at least 5 years. But when the bubble burst, it could be even bigger than when the .com bubble did.

We live in interesting times.

Not only cheapest, it’s the cheapest by far.

Oh boy, one of Apples products outsold other Apple products, what are the odds. 😱
Quick, clear the front page for this sensational news. 🤡
This is really hard core technology new for you right here! 🙄

Sorry for the sarcasm, I just don’t think one Apple laptop selling more than another Apple laptop is interesting in any way.
Especially considering how predictable it is, since it’s their cheapest laptop at almost half the price of the cheapest MacBook Air‌.

Same here, and to be fair, I had to ask my wife. 🤣

You are right, I just remember it as using 2.8 for an extended period of time. But looking it up, 2.8 was a milestone from 2004, and 2.32 was the final release.

I switched to Linux as my main OS in 2005. So I probably started on 2.8.

WTF is KCD?

Gnome lost a lot of popularity with Gnome shell, and for good reason. Gnome made the same mistake Microsoft did with Windows 8, which was also universally hated. By the same mistake I mean they changed EVERYTHING!

This must be about Gnome 2.8 when Gnome indeed was by far the most popular desktop environment on Linux.
And then Gnome 2.8 was deprecated and no longer maintained, and for years after Gnome Shell was complete and utter shit.
IMO it still is, because they have changed fundamentals like how virtual desktops work, that disrupt my workflow.

I agree Gnome is more elegant, but that’s irrelevant when key fundamentals simply don’t work anymore.

So to get the desktop I like to actually use, I use KDE instead.

Edit: Final release was 2.32 as u/esc correctly writes below.

Nvidia drivers do not always play nice with the kernel, and can disrupt high end audio use. If you use Linux you should use an AMD or Intel GPU.
My wife used to use Nvidia, because it worked better for some games, but she finally ended up getting pissed with the proprietary Nvidia drivers, and switched to AMD about a year ago. And now all her games that used to work with Nvidia drivers also work with AMD.
AFAIK Debian support Nvidia proprietary drivers reasonably well today, but for older Nvidia cards you may be out of luck, they can be a real shitshow to get to work if you want to use the proprietary driver.
Best option is to just stop using Nvidia on Linux!

Nah it’s symmetrical enough IMO. I don’t care much about the mirror anyways. 😋

?

I don’t get it?

Edit:

Ah now I think I got it, it’s because the mirror isn’t symmetrical to the sink.
So it’s more like a non OCD bathroom.

Personally I prefer an Arch derivative, and neither of us can convince the other. 😋
However we both see the merits of “the other side”, we just have different preferences. But we also have some fun with it if some times. 😎

My wife uses Debian and is very happy with it.
She uses it both for gaming and studio recordings with Ardour.

Debian has for decades been among the most respected distros in the Linux world, and it still is.
If you want something solid, Debian should be your first choice.

Edit PS:
She also uses it for programming occasionally. Debian is an excellent platform for “coding” with its huge repositories.
But most Linus distros are very good for programming, and will have all the common necessary tools readily available.

And the CEO’s.

Considering the increase in price, that turned out to be a very good deal. 👍

Yes of course you could use it as a PC on a desktop with mouse and keyboard.
I just don’t think that will be the typical use, but more with a TV sitting in an armchair or on the couch.
Maybe I’m wrong?
The value in having the controller included default, would only be if the price is lower for the bundle. Since the latest retailed for 99 €, it obviously shouldn’t cost 100 € as a bundled part.
