You must have a pretty specific workflow that fails so completely using Microsoft Office.

My company provides latex templates, so I’m using those. They also provide a gitlab instance, so working collaboratively is easy and reliable.

The second point is that as has already been mentioned, you can keep using the computer after the software support ends, that doesn’t really work for most subscription software.

Fair point.

An admittedly excellent office suite

Every time some colleague uses office and I’m forced to hop on as well it feels like my whole workflow just grinds to a halt and there’s nothing that I’d want more than to throw my laptop out the window… There’s not much else that I hate with the same passion like ms Office. “Admittedly excellent”? What?

without a digital use by date

What? Apple just drops devices at some point.

That’s nice and all but not what the headline compared and therefore not the point. That comparison was specifically between ICEs and EVs.

Yes.

I was angry for about a minute… “What the fuck, people are wearing anc headphones when driving a car???” just because it was a Skoda thing and I automatically assumed it would have to have something to do with cars. It took me until the end of the video that she was talking about collisions between cyclists and pedestrians.

There’s a small company party near to where I live that converts ICEs to EVs.

Bottom line is that it’s expensive as fuck to do so and the clients are either well-off folks that want an electric version of their favourite historic car (DeLorean or 2cv or something like that) or companies that calculate much differently, with six digits worth of km on their delivery vehicles. It’s not economical to do that to an ordinary car with ordinary kilometres per year.

I’m driving one.

It’s nice.

So? Overall risk is still much lower.

First time I ever heard about guardrails having issues with EVs. Do you have a source for that?

Also the comment was about the fire risk, which the article was about.

The article is about batteries that might catch fire less often.

ICEs catch fire much more often than EVs already. The comment was specifically about that.

They don’t catch fire that often though.

Which is what that headline is about.

Which has nothing to do with the drive train.

the breakthrough that makes EVs safer than ICE cars

Did Toyota write this? EVs already are much safer than ICEs, the headline reads like it’s trying to gaslight people into thinking otherwise.

Yeah. That’s pretty much the point of citizenship.

Boo hoo, a country doesn’t let a fascist in.

Countries have no obligation to let people from other countries in. It’s a good will gesture to do so. And why on earth would you show good will to a fascist?

Only those that dissolve my dna to produce electricity that’s an order of magnitude more expensive than the one that can be generated from thin air or sunlight.

“damaged”

my home is powered by nuclear energy

Lost me there

This isn’t fixing. This is a bandaid for some symptoms because god forbid we stop burning the planet to the ground.
