In Germany nearly everyone can drive manual. Used to be that if you didn't learn how to drive manual in driving school, you weren't allowed to drive manual with your license.

Honestly, I work for an iot Mobile network provider, the amount of devices that will brick if 2G will be turned off is massive. Especially the cheaper ones that only have 2G/3G modems on board. And not only are they the most likely to brick, but also the most unlikely to be fixed.

To be honest, one part is what everyone mentioned here. Not being preinstalled and all that.

The other part is that unfortunately at least according to my own expirence as a Linux noob a few years ago some Linux communities can be very toxic. If you're asking questions of how to do X and someone comes along and is all "why do you even want to do X if you could also do Y? Which is something entirely different but also does something vaguely similar"

That's one if the things.

And then other curiosities. I cannot for example for the life of me get my main monitor to work under Linux with any new Kernel version. My Laptop just refuses to output to it or the second monitor attached via Display port daisychaining. On the older version it works, on the newer it's broken. I have tried troubleshooting this problem for over half a year and it's still broken. And that's out of the Box on Ubuntu LTS...

So i don't really understand this question. There are major roadblocks. With Wayland which is default for Ubuntu now those roadblock jist became bigger. Screensharing in multiple Apps including slack is outright broken unless you use the shitty webapp. The main player Office 365 largely doesn't work at all on Linux. All these things that should work for a Desktop operating System don't work out of the Box as they should.

That's why people aren't using it and companies aren't preinstalling it.

Yeah, this is something many people seem to not understand.

SMS is not secure. The best option is something with FIDO2 or similar.

Working for a Mobile network provider that does connectivity for cars among other things i can add to that, that they are paying a fairly high price for this stuff too.

MNO here, i would also like our SIM not to have extra roaming cost.

Okay i'm not sure how much + is in your 1000$ and obviously there's a manufacturing defect at olay here. But man a MacBook is 2000$+ I have heard this argument too often unfortunately:

I tried Android once and it was horrible so i just went back to iPhone©™ and now everything is great again.

Context: they bought a 300$ Samsung phone and expected it to perform the same as their previous 800$ iPhone....

And this just sounds too similar. "I previously had a 2000$+ device, now I bought a 1000$+ one and it doesn't perform the same." Except for the part where it's also a shitty brand and the device had a manufacturing defect.

With how many companies started trying to move libre software to non libre licenses, it's also not a given that that helps.

I guess at least you can just fork libre software if that happens.

Actually they started fairly early, but it was more like a phase. Just like the Inter Net.

Nah, American news also fail to specify "only in the US" every time. So it's kind of refreshing to see the tables flipped for once.

I upgraded "the chair™" to "the basket™" which makes it seem like i have "my shit together™"

Rocket League

They removed non-standard areas first from competitive queue and then from Standard as well. And then they stopped offering the rocketlabs Gamemode for non-standard Maps.

Yeah exactly the same experience for me. It's not about forgetting it, it's about thinking that if you just tried a little harder you would be able to do it. Because that's what everyone kept telling me. And even now it feels like i'm using my ADHD as an excuse to be lazy.

So.... Which drive did you buy? Asking for a friend.

I want this comic but for programmers

Fuck you, we're not giving you Italy!

There is however, a pull request on GitHub awaiting approval for this feature.

I play rocket League and i can tell you that they are all the exact same shape and size. They just have different colours and environments around them.

There used to be non standard maps in competitive, some of them were oval, or otherwise differently shaped. See here: https://liquipedia.net/rocketleague/Category:Non-Standard_Maps

If Smash Maps were all the exact same shape with different textures your point would be valid.

Or... They just want their monitor to work. Instead of refusing to display a picture after a simple minor kernel update that causes a bug that is extremely hard to track down even when you know shit about Linux... That's also an option.

Aw man, it's almost like they think they are paying you...

I have only been driving a Tesla for a few days in 2022, but i fully agree with you, i wanted to specifically test the FSD and i had so many incidents where it tried to get into an appearing turning lane, even tough it should go straight, just straight up slowed to 10kph in a Tunnel where speed limit was 50, and there were blind corners because of "bad vision conditions" even the cruise control was annoying, it felt like my steering input was basically just a "suggestion" that i sometimes really had to force through against the will of the car because otherwise bad shit would've happened.... Sports mode steering made that only slightly better in the dual motor Model Y

Overall I enjoyed driving the ID3 more actually.. at least that had solid and responsive steering that felt - compared to the Tesla - like driving a sports car.. and i've driven the ID3 directly after the Tesla.

Only good thing about the Tesla was acceleration.

Honestly I had a OnePlus 6T for 4 years and after that started feeling slightly slow and i need it for testing at work, I now have a Pixel 7. Both the 6T and the pixel are great phones. My only regret is my own fault, i want to have a telephoto camera but thought that it's not worth buying the pixel 7 pro for... There's many good options out there. But i admit they are harder to find. It's not "buy iPhone" and be done with it.

But honestly every Apple device i've used in the past made me dislike Apples software more and more. It's fine as long as you aren't used to anything else and aren't a Poweruser i guess. But there's just so many weird decisions in the software. And it's all locked down to hell.

Very suprised this isn't mentioned here more often.

I personally considered doing this but the time i would have to invest vs the frequency of doing a fresh install just doesn't warrant it. Too complex.

Well i write frequently write playbooks at work. But for my laptop it Still felt not worth it. I have a playbook for my Server stuff though.

It's basically a running gag throughout "new" top gear and grand tour.

The part about beamforming also has another side effect that all the conspiracy theorists won't like. Although they can likely spin this in some other sinister way. Beamforming allows for essentially less electromagnetic pollution than previous Generations. Because it directs the energy more directly where it's needed instead of just broadcasting it everywhere. Way more efficient. Although I can already see how the Conspiracy nuts start shouting that this will be used to shoot concentrated beams of 5G on the enlightened people...

Yes, but it used to be that you had to do the majority of lessons in a manual, now it's reduced, you can get B197 with a few hours of manual. And then you can drive both.

The most fun part about imposter syndrome for me is that i even have it for ADHD. I was diagnosed at a young age, and then again - independently - as an adult. Still there are moments where i feel like i might not even have ADHD. I just have a collection of Symptoms that match the characteristics of ADHD but if i just wasn't so lazy I would totally be able to do things like all the other "normal" people. Like multi hour study sessions and shit.

I have to constantly reaffirm myself that I might have to do things differently, and medication is something i can and should maybe use to help with getting my shit together and that's okay, because I really do have ADHD and I'm not just pretending to have it because i'm lazy... I think ...

Not entirely accurate, B allows both manual and automatic, you get B by doing everything including the exam in a manual car, B78 is automatic only and B197 allows you to drive manual and automatic as well but as you described with only 10 manual lessons.
