I have switched a dell laptop that windows 10 didn't support to pop os. (It was 7 years old) My whole family has used it for a few years to do everything without any issues. Ironically I have had problems with the Pop OS install on my newer more powerful machine.

They really should make a easy path to update the 2g modem module to a 5g, but you know... Sales. Next thing you know car manufactures will be sunsetting support for an entire car because they no longer support updates to people with an out of date phone. So lazy and short sighted.

Really interesting, I wonder what the structure of a battery pack that can charge in 5 minutes looks like.

Wow, just.. wow. The story doesnt do it justice, the video is insane.

Can't afford a used car, can't afford to send my kids to school (day care was near 25k a year for our twins) , health care costs are horrendous (life expectancy continues to be one of the worse in the developed world even though we spend the most by far), food costs are through the roof. Can someone please tell me how this economy is better? WTF are these people talking about.

I live in one of the most progressive cities in the US and have had the same issue here. We have no driveway and park on the street but regulations say we cant use the grass strip (the area between the srreet and the curb) to install a charging station for an ev in front of our house. For 5 years we tried to get permission to do this without luck and have given up on ever getting an EV. I dont get how there is any hope for electric vehicles if there arent any working solutions for the millions of people in the United States who dont have a driveway or garage.

Its time to grab a beer kick back and watch as the planet is destroyed by slow moving bearacratic regulation.

Look at all the people that actually came to witness this...🫤

I have to chime in on this one, I grew up in Oregon and worked at Target a couple of years as a cashier and cart collector. This was by far the most miserable job I have ever had, it sucked. Besides leaving their nasty ass trash and dirty diapers in the carts people would leave them scattered all over the mall parking lot. It was my job to walk a mile or so around the lot that encircled the mall at closing time in the pouring rain and collect them. This was before they had the robots that push them for the workers, so we used a rope attached to the front to steer about 35-40 at once. With out fail id consantly get my sopping wet feet run over by those fucking things while trying to push them back to the store. Not to mention, we'd get the occasional wind storm and the ones that weren't corraled would blow all over the parking lot crashing into cars. Then we'd get bitched at by the customers. Trust me when you put a cart back in the corral, the people working at the store appreciate it. There's more than enough other work to get done in retail.

I've always bought small pickups so I can haul materials when working on remodel jobs. I hadn't surveyed the market since I bought my last used 2006 frontier 12 years ago. I had to do a double take when first looking at the size of the "small size" pickups offered by the car manufactures. I couldn't believe the size of them. The only thing offered these days is the ford maverick. I've given up on trying to get a replacement truck. The offerings today are completely impractical.

Got it, I don't really have a good way to hardwire the shield. Is the shield controller any good? The ps5 controller that I have is super comfy, it's really hard for me to play with anything else after playing with it.

So you'd recommend the steam deck over the shield?
