General Motors accidentally made a good car so that's why they had to kill it.

To redo the entire UI?

Large flat roads are also more efficient. Have you ever driven down a bumpy road? That shit aint efficient. All of your horizontal speed gets turned into vertical speed in a jarringly unpleasant way. That's part of why trains are so efficient because their tracks are so smooth.

Large wheels have nothing to do with a vehicles ability to go off road/on bumpy roads, if anything they're counter productive because you want large soft tires and small wheels for that scenario.

What are you talking about? A solid wheel would perform horribly off road or on road in a gas or electric vehicle. You need some sort of tread and deformation to get any grip off road. And rubber is used because it deforms to the road and gives you a larger contact patch which gives you more grip. If you put solid wheels attached to a motor it wouldn’t take much effort to get them to slip in anything but the most ideal conditions. That’s why when people go off roading they get monster tires on tiny wheels and air them down until they’re ready to fall off.

In a horse drawn wagon solid wheels make sense because the wheels aren’t driving the carriage the horse is. The horse can step over bumps and put its hoof on solid ground. A wheel can’t do that, so it has to comply to the road. The up side is the solid wheel has a lot less rolling resistance. Early EVs had solid wheels because that’s just what we had.

And that’s probably why it sucks so much. If they’d just cloned the work flow of other programs GIMP would actually be good for amateurs.

Also the UX difference is worth the money alone.

No it doesn’t. Kia just has a sales event that overlaps with gay month.

The docks will work with anything that has Thunderbolt 3/4. It's only the power switch that won't work, and you can't do the breaking USB spec of charging over 100 watts @20v. The downside is those OEM docks tend to be Thunderbolt only, and if you connect it to a USB only device it will either not work at all, or have SEVERELY limited functions.

Is yours a dock dock or just a big hub? I don't really have much experience with the dock docks, but I know the overgrown hubs we use at work love to burn out the HDMI converter chips, but usually work well enough besides that.

FYI OEM docks are CHEAP used once they've been out for a few years. And no you can't mix docks from other OEMs and have the power button work since there's no standard for it.

I've found aftermarket ones to be super unreliable though, especially if you use HDMI and power from the dock.

Whatever makes RTX work is what accelerations a lot of AI tasks. I’d argue the 1080 is bordering on irrelevant if it wasn’t for the 8 gigs of ram to save it. The 2060 should be much faster despite for gaming being about in par.

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble , 16 days ago to Technology in Why do you have to install Usb-Drivers on Windows, but I never had to do it on Linux?

Windows 7 lacked USB 3 drivers, and if you have a bleeding edge system windows might not have the chipset drivers which is like half of your system. (EX windows 10/11 lacked 11th Gen. chipset drivers until 22H2)

Outside of that I’ve never had the basics work. Especially a mouse and keyboard.

How does the vGPU compare to running it on the bare metal? Last I tried things were painful but technically usable.

In terms of privacy of course because in terms of price it’s another story
