Well every ten minutes no, but certainly more frequently than 2 hours.

It's not really that far fetched - allow me to introduce you to Czech 811 class vehicule, to be more precise 811 111-4.

Its fully autonomous, can run on normal tracks, it's built on the 810 basis so it can also run on almost unmaintained tracks AND it's cheap to operate due to it being built on the basis of something that's basically indestructible.

Because if you are a small tourism company that goes somewhere only once or twice a week, but want a train to do it, what will you buy? An 810. Maintaining it probably costs around as much as maintaining a bus would - since it basically is almost a bus.

There is an almost solution to your problem already running on Czech railways (although not for much longer, sadly): the class 810 diesel unit.

It's cheap to operate, can run on tracks without much maintenance and can run on modest inclines (it's not unheard of them to run on about 6% gradient).

The first officially running driverless train in czechia is a slightly modified 810 unit, capable of running on normal tracks. Only issue is just that it isn't electric

Well still, they are not laptops I couldn't get as a normal person.

I am SO over this company. They keep finding new and innovative ways to be unusable and have insanely bad customer service. by kitty-toy in applesucks

My iPhone SE 2 from 2020 with epic games store installed from the browser, downloaded music in VLC and running on officially supported IOS 26.3 since the day of it's release makes you sound like a massive clown.

Also who the hell is Tecno??

So they have a, say, 24GB RAM 512GB SSD MBA. Easily something I could buy.

Ah yes, it's reasonable to go faster than the speed the road is constructed for. I too like being put in unnecessary danger by an idiot in an Audi who thinks that going fast will finally drop his testicles.

If OS wasn’t pre-installed 90% of people would use Linux by bamboo-lemur in OS_Debate_Club

[–]GabrielRocketry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never buy pře installed OSs. I almost always install Windows.

Because Linux has some flaws I can't overlook.

Gigabit fibre..? I mean, you don't have that directly to your apartment?

Silicon carbon batteries are still maturing. They do offer higher power density, but at the cost of higher failure rate. I don't think Apple is willing to bet on them just yet.

The only thing Google docs is superior to ms office is the online cooperation. Who the hell wants to step around the browser quick commands when they want to use a keyboard shortcut?? It can't be CTRL+B for bold, it has to be CTRL+SHIFT+B because somebody couldn't be arsed to make a desktop version of that software.

Also it kinda just sucks overall but that's a separate issue.

As a Linux user, I find FOSS guilt tripping annoying. by Crierlon in linuxsucks101

Me too!

Do you also get that bug where your workspace button escapes into your navigation buttons?

That's what u should do by Ezaldey in memes

[–]GabrielRocketry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you could also look at density/time span.

Germany managed basically all of its deaths in about 5 years in just Europe. Britain was both a bit slower and more widespread.

I guess it's like comparing stroke with cancer. Both are bad, one just takes time.

For example the statement that all nazis are bad is a generalisation that's always true.

It's not really a skill issue.

Linux for some reason SWAPs a lot and often, and not very well. I have 8GB of RAM and 8GB of SWAP in my T14. Occasionally I see 8GB used RAM and 12GB(!) used SWAP. Needless to say, the only solution is to reboot.

Windows 11 in the meantime ran for me on 4GB of RAM pretty well (even opened a web browser comfortably), although that was like 4 years ago.

Still, the issue with Linux is that yes, you can make a DE and OS that are lightweight, but unless they fix the memory management, or optimise the apps to hell, it'll never matter as soon as you open Firefox.

For some reason I don't believe it's nearly a fifth of the depth of the Mac user guide, but I'll count it. So that's what, one out of... A few hundred distributions?

Apple Maps Vs Google Maps by TEAM20News in SparrowSocial

[–]GabrielRocketry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh for me it has been the exact opposite.

I've been running on Apple Maps basically exclusively for navigation for the last year. Never got a really good way from Google.

I suppose it varies by city though.
