I’m not really sure how to respond to this. On the one hand Ferrari went public recently so this should’ve been more expected. On the other hand your use of the term missy mcmansion takes this comment a little too far into the sexist realm for me. I didn’t want to believe that people actually had a problem with this thing not looking “macho” but I guess that’s the world we live in.
In the meantime it can still do 0 to 60 in like two seconds…
I’m not sure how VAT equivocates to tax tag and title here in the US, but for $35,000 car it should still be less than $1000. I pay a bit less than the average person because I’m Native and I go through my tribe instead of the state I live in, but I don’t think the rate I get is less than like half the state rate. A few years ago the same car would’ve been in the $29,000 range. At the time we got the car things were so crazy in the used market that it actually was about $100 less per month for us to get the new car then to get a four year-old used car of the same model.
Thank you, we got a Mazda CX-50. It’s a lot nicer than my 2004 Chrysler Sebring was with 280k miles (~450600km)! I’m not the primary driver so as long as my wife is happy with it I’m happy.
Hopefully wages will start reflecting prices someday.
I’ve been needing to watch that, I’ll move it up the list.
Honestly so is that of the guy who did Rocco. Whose credits include among other things the Taco Bell dog and Spyro the Dragon.
That’s still ridiculously high for a car. When my wife and I bought a new car a couple years ago we really stretched the bank to make a $35,000 car work.
I’m confused, are people really butthurt because it doesn’t look exactly like every other car Ferrari has put out? This is literally not even the first car they’ve put out that doesn’t look like a classic Ferrari. They literally make a SUV now. Sometimes I feel like people are just upset whenever a company that traditionally makes ICE cars all of a sudden start making an EV.
Yes, because it’s got the giant yellow Ferrari logo on the side of it.
Fun fact: Heifer is voiced by Tom Kenny who went on to voice SpongeBob.
By the time the Dreamcast came out the writing was already on the wall. The Sega CD and 32x were both expensive and had little support while still looking barely as good as what the SNES could do with the Super FX chip and similar. Then the Saturn was basically forgotten despite being stupid powerful for its day and given the Osborne effect by the CEO of Sega of America. When the Dreamcast came out mid-cycle in 1998 nobody who had bought a PlayStation or N64 in the previous couple of years was in the market for a new machine and a lot of Sega fans weren’t willing to jump in before seeing how serious Sega was. Sega on the other hand was on the heels of low sales and relative failure and so keen to wait for the Dreamcast to be a hit. That chicken and egg paradox was the death knell. They also weren’t helped by Microsoft who had been their partner on the Dreamcast and who basically threw them under the bus to develop the Xbox based on what they learned (not for the first time, MS also did the same thing to IBM by developing Windows while working on OS/2 with IBM). This is why ‘The Duke’ controller looked so much like a Dreamcast controller and why, according to some reports, the Xbox could play Dreamcast games earlier in its development.
TL;DR Sega killed the Dreamcast before it even came out and Microsoft happily looted the corpse.
Chromium is pretty much its own operating system, you might as well be running a Linux VM every time you open an instance of Chromium and it is just as sandboxed as any other VM would be so there is no sharing at all.
Pretty much, though my 486 is configured for ‘94/‘95 timeframe so it loads mouse drivers, CD-ROM drivers, Sound Blaster drivers, a Plug’n Play setup, and a couple other things before it shows the prompt, or in this case the menu I scripted.
I feel like there’s a big difference between grabbing some music that I might actually pay for later if it’s ever available DRM free and downloading the sum total of human creation in order to sell that creativity back to those same people for a profit.
But my biggest issue is the hypocrisy, these companies who are using generative AI for their scripts and their CG are the same ones that were suing the pants off of people 20 years ago for even thinking about pirating shit.
Typing each letter once and having a list of possible words pop up is T9.
We rented a van last year and only the front seats were bucket seats, the backseat of our car is a bench seat too. In both cases they’re not smooth across the back anymore like the one in the picture, all modern bench seats have divots too.
Me too! Mine was a five speed with an in-line six cylinder, formally owned by a pipe smoker so it had a very distinct smell.
In my experience most people have forgotten about hot cereals. My mom used to make Cream of Wheat all the time when I was growing up.
Teams, like a lot of MS products, uses Edge Webview 2 (an Electron clone). So if you have Teams, and VS Code, and Chrome or Edge running you are running 3 Chromium instances.
Eehhh… this person is wrong about programmers and business models but DOS machines did boot really fast (my 486 boots to DOS in about 20 seconds) and C64s and Apple IIs and such were all ROM based and so booted instantly like a Super Nintendo.
I have had trouble not disassociating in a room where a TV is playing since I was a kid. I hate that it’s hard to find a place to eat that doesn’t have a million TVs these days.
One of several people standing on a balcony overlooking an Occupy Wall Street protest in 2011. This woman specifically was at the time believed to be an employee of National Bank but I don’t know if they were ever identified individually.
You can usually tell just by if the springs are on the same or opposite sides.
