CAD is obviously something that got much better with better computers, but apart from such heavily PC focussed jobs, I’m not sure this holds true.
Digital systems waste a ton of worker’s time as well, and we now have much, much more bureocracy than before.
In many cases, computers are great at helping you fix problems and accomplish tasks you didn’t have without computers.
Never, never ever ever trust corporations to do social change topics in a good way.
The unholy union of business and feminism still means that you now need 80h of paid work a week to keep a family afloat instead of the 40h we had before.
Disney and LGBTQ+ and other minority topics is exactly like that. They don’t care about anything like that, all they care about is making money.
For one, they are, and for two, there’s no point.
What I mean is self-driving trains are very common, if you live in a country with trains from this century. Train autopilots are super easy to make and they are in wide use.
Driverless trains on the other hand are a rarity, because there’s no point. In pretty much any use case for a train you want to have a skilled human around the train anyway, so that you have someone in the exceptional cases where you need a human (e.g. any security related stuff like people train surfing or people causing trouble on a passenger train).
A train driver doesn’t cost that much more than a security guard with enough technical training to be able to patch up and operate a train in emergencies (which, btw, does requite a train driver), so in most cases it’s quite prudent to have a train driver on board.
This is what you get in the end: autonomously driving trains with a train driver for PA announcements, security stuff and emergencies.
It certainly doesn’t have the weird and hard-to-understand web of random rules that r/showerthoughts has.
It’s got a reckognizable name and first party support from an actual company.
This.
The one step that would really push a lot would be if you can go to your local electronics store and buy a PC there with Linux preinstalled and completely setup, just like you can with Windows, Mac and ChromeOS.
That’s why the Steam Deck actually pushed the Linux market share quite a bit.
I mean, there is a thing like that and it’s called Chromebooks, but we, the tech people, deemed ChromeOS not Linux enough and told everyone not to buy chromebooks.
But still ChromeOS is by far the most popular Linux distro with about 5x the market share of the next most popular Linux distro (which is Arch, thanks to the Steam Deck).
Really difficult to actually get good numbers here since there’s a ton of sampling bias and user agent strings (which are used for most of these market share detectors) don’t capture Linux distros apart from ChromeOS.
But we can combine sources to get somewhere.
The Steam Hardware and Software Survey doesn’t include any data on ChromeOS, because there’s no Steam on ChromeOS, but it says that there’s a total market share for Linux of 3.2% with the most common Linux Distro being Arch with a market share of 0.32% (probably due to the Steam Deck), followed by Mint with 0.24%.
So double the maket share to get roughly to the 6.3% total Linux maket share from PH, and we get Arch with 0.64% and Mint with 0.48%, which is both much much lower than the 2.4% of ChromeOS on PH.
Germany used to be a collection of tribes and depending on which of these tribes the countries around them had contact with that’s the name that stuck in that language.
Yeah, it was a political decision, not one based on how well the Linux transition worked.
They used Linux for quite some time productively. It wasn’t a failed transition at all.
Well, all Linux distros combined are more than ChromeOS. If you split up by distro, ChromeOS is still the top Linux distro by far.
Successful compared to what? I don’t have data, but I’d venture to say that it’s the most popular desktop Linux distro.
It’s a bit past its peak, but in 2023 it had 7% market share in the quite lucrative North American market. That’s not nothing. In North America, all other Linux distros combined just overtook ChromeOS this year. World-wide it was last year.
There’s also no other Linux distro that comes pre-installed on devices from different manufacturers (at least none that I know of).
What’s being sold is the illusion that the robots are completely autonomous based on AI or something.
Buy it now, get the full AI self-walking update in two three seven fifteen some years.
It worked for Tesla cars, so why should the same strategy not work on the same idiots with robots?
If you look at the commercially successful variants of Linux (ChromeOS and Android), you’ll see that taking away freedom/choice was the first thing they did.
And ultimately, if you are targeting the mass market, that’s almost required.
BSD, Haiku and pretty much anything that hides or manipulates the user agent string.
From the title I expected the opposite result.
No, the internet as a whole is worse. Close to everything that’s not a large platform is AI.
They used Cloud Computation and AI (“Actually Interns”) way before it was cool.
Yeah, that sounds seriosly painful.
Ceiling dust. Don’t breathe this.
This is a super difficult model. There’s no good orientation for it.
I’d probably print it as oriented on the picture and use a lot of support. If classic support isn’t working for you, try organic/tree support, but I think the regular support would be better. Support should cover the full underside with this print.
When printing in PLA make sure you have really, really good cooling for this.
