Newsflash: American car manufacturer says “Our cars are crap and overpriced”

Imagine showing up in school with that in the 90s!

Isn’t it too easy for the current chatbots/LLMs to lie about everything?

Train it on garbage or in the wrong way, and it will agree on anything you want it to.

I asked DeepSeek about what to visit nearby and to give me some URLs and it hallucinated the URLs and places. Guess it wasn’t trained to know anything about my local area.

Maybe the Half-life games? You go through the game on rails, the most challenging part is the final bosses but you can skip those or use cheats.

I was hoping for “get an older one that uses a defunct connectivity method”

The last car I got is from 2015 so in 10 years I’ll get one from this year (but not tesla).

I want the new technology but it has to work like the old, and I can answer myself: Okay boomer!

I’ll have to find a compromise when I finally get an EV.

Is there an option to physically disable this?

When i finally get an EV I don’t want it to be online in any form, is it even possible to get one like that?

Latest sneak peak of the phone in action:

Remember 10 years ago the YouTube app only showed ads on every 3rd video and often only a single 5 second ad, and everything longer could be skipped.

Like a frog in a pot I could tolerate that amount, a few years later they started the ad ramp-up and what finally drove me to install vanced were 3 unskippable ads you had to endure just to watch something.

Sounds crowded in there, are the women okay?

j/k h/l I learned those playing Nethack

Because we didn’t do our research, we ended up at a hotel in Mallorca that were filled with people in their 20s partying all night and the included food fitted the price, for instance one night they served thin slices of meat-ish-spam with overcooked greens.

But we didn’t let it ruin our holiday!

She should have thought ahead and packed some Marmite and toast or a bit of Stilton and some crackers just to be safe, that was common for older people in the 1960’s.

I got my new computer three years ago, but I still use the old one with Mint 18 on it for some stuff, and the Eee is in the drawer.

I enjoyed playing it back in the day even if it took several tries to understand what the game wanted you to do, the parts that gave me the most gripe was finding out how to jump the canyon and how to fight the Cavefish.

I was fond of adventure games just not good at them because at that age my English was not good enough, but here comes Full Throttle and Day of The Tentacle that are funny and i can play through to the end.

It’s about 15 years ago I used a 486 based embedded board with ethernet, can’t remember the name of it.

Your plan sounds good, then you can take your time working on the old PC and re-install as needed, especially because the newer windows versions are happy to kill a dual booted Linux.

Don’t give up before you have tried using memes to get support!

Good there’s other free alternatives out there. I’m in the office 97/2003 was peak ui camp, the rest is just a more flashy UI that doesn’t really add more value.

Literally unusable
