I can just see them responding to the EU like, “Yeah, we’ll allow other people to build app stores for iOS. They just need a dev account that we won’t approve. That’s not us specifically blocking alternate app stores though.”

Wait until you hear that Disney’s Frozen was only created so that searching for “Disney Frozen” would result in the movie intead of Walt Disney’s frozen head.

Apple also intentionally made the green bubble contrast worse so that iPhone users would have eyestrain when conversing with non-iPhone users.

Time to make OpenASci?

Only to find that PETA has already stolen the dog and euthanized it, “To end its suffering.”

Pshtt, not until he dies of dysentery once or twice.

I have a GM vehicle I like. I already don’t pay them for OnStar. I’m certainly not going to pay them to replace my phone. And then likely have to pay for cellular access for my car.

Years ago I got the (then) admin account password at work because one of the LAN admins typed with two pointer fingers and I just watched.

To be fair, you’re also describing working with other people.

Spore had itself a 3 or 5 installs limit before not allowing you to install it anymore.

That’s also 'cause other people’s regex are garbage!

I see a lot of good advice, so I’m going to suggest something different. Have your son watch this guy or someone like him do some stuff.

He just picks something that interests him and builds on top of that interest.

My kids (8 and 11) don’t even have any interest in doing programming at the moment, and they like watching him build stuff. We watched the Geographical Adventures playlist twice.

So, what, we’re just going to carry around USB antennas now?

You’re talking about PowerShell but then complaining about cmd. Are you unaware that PowerShell is its own cli?

A 5% difference is close enough for me. You make it sound like the EV part is where all the weight is coming from when the ICE versions are already there. And please, “The hummer EV is too much but the regular hummer is fine”? The hummer is just already excess no matter what version you’re talking about.

I see people commuting in F250s to their tech jobs cause they tow stuff once in a while, and they don’t feel safe driving the same size vehicles as 95% of the rest of traffic around them. Then they whine about parking spaces.

Edmunds lists the 450 at 8587 pounds.

Neat. Now do the extremely heavy, large, not-EVs.

About 25 years ago, my car was struck by another, in the rain, with very poor visibility, on a two-lane highway, going around a curve. I came to and discovered that my car was on its roof, and I had gotten out of it while dazed. I was about 3 feet away from traffic that was passing by, facing the highway, and had almost walked out into traffic.
