Ya basically the one that works on the most sites while also not being a PITA.
Being older than the internet and having used mosaic, Netscape navigator, IE, Firefox, Chrome, several short lived mobile browsers and tried Opera a few times. Can’t say I have a favourite as any browser I like that becomes popular also tends to become bloated and slow over time.
I think it has been probably more than 5 years since I have seen an optical drive on a new laptop.
Blower fans had a technical reason to exist that isn’t very relevant anymore.
It used to be to keep the card profile low so you could have other PCI card slots populated. However these days everything including Wifi can be found pre populated on the motherboard. It is rare you put in any additional PCI cards in modern personal systems.
Ya acrylic side cases where a trend, maybe 3D monitors but everything else in there was just specific technology that has been replaced by better technology…
Reading through the comments on the video, the only “used to be” part the video creator is talking about is that it is a alien hobby OS that hardly anyone uses or knows about. Don’t take that as a negative but he is just talking about the feels. Other than that technically their isn’t a lot in common with Linux from the past.
How so ? The default browser on Windows is Edge, people keep installing Chrome? Chrome is available on MacOS, yet people stick with Safari?
For all the firefox fans out there it might be good to note there have consistently been more Safari users than Firefox users since 2014. Hell Safari has been the number two browser by market share since 2015.
Browsers have to get very SHITTY or a new browser has to have a killer app to unseat a dominate one.

This report makes it sound like they had a video call with camera on, vs other reports where they recommend people have camera on because they didn’t
also used AI tools to create a profile picture and match that face during the video conference calls.
This doesn’t sounds like the video was on / faked only that they had a call where the profile picture was used.
As expected… COMBINED other manufactures are starting to make meaningful amounts of EVs. Individually it is funny how few they sell however.
Tesla still sells nearly 10x the number of EVs (BEVs) to the next most popular brand (globally).
Correction Tesla and BYD are embarrassing the “REST” of the the manufactures. Globally.
BYD numbers are often mix EV as a combination of PHEV and BEV, their BEV sales have substantially grown.
○ Tesla market share 20% ○ BYD Auto 15% ○ Geely Holdings 8% ○ Others 57%

Likely has more to do with the cost of 1-2million per station vs 250,000 to 500,000 for a typical EV fast charging station
Electrolysis is at least 25% less as efficient than just storing the electricity in battery’s as it produces both oxygen and hydrogen and then you need to spend some more of the power compressing it…. Even before you get to transporting it. Otherwise we would just have electrolytes plants all over already.
There is no clean, cheap, efficient source of hydrogen. You still need to transport it around burning more fuel to transport it all around.
There are already multiple ways to get clean electricity for BEVs and the supply chain is cleaner… Plant, grid, car.
Also coal is already a TINY TINY % of US power production, https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/us-energy-facts/ , going to natural gas sourced hydrogen would be a step backward.
When source to consumption is considered BEV is the cleanest option so far.
but there’s evidence that this shift is already happening.
Shift? Dude that article has been debunked already.
BEV is effectively running on coal.
Funny thing is that EVs are still cleaner than ICE even when powered by a Coal grid
The FCEV is going to be fueled from fossil fuels for the foreseeable future
Today, about 95% of all hydrogen is produced from steam reforming of natural gas.
EV battery packs however can be nearly fully recycled back into more batteries.

You do know that nearly all fuel cell vehicles also use lithium and a battery pack, as well the fuel cell it self uses a number of rare earth metals.
The self serve terminals and apps actually work well. I prefer using them over ordering at the counter.
So ya I am surprised they rolled this out so poorly.
Natural language is really messy… Could go through many variants on things. Then you get text to speech issues due to audio quality / accents… And you need an engine that can “best guess / best match” based on what it has or ask for clarification.
Similarly you can ask for TWO of a complex thing: I would like Two… meals, with, XXXX
An LLM can somewhat smooth over variances in language without having to have all possible variances known just the valid options and the raw input.
Mc Donald’s already has customer self serve kiosks and mobile apps with the full menu that limit you as to which items you can add or remove.
How did they screw this up and leave things open ended for the LLM?
IE why was the LLM not referencing a list of valid options with every request and then replying with what the possible options are. This is something LLMs are actually able to do fairly well, then layer on top the EXACT same HARD constraints they already have on the kiosk and mobile app to ensure orders are valid?
View-> Then the little v arrow in the right. Switch to tabs only, the Ribbon UI will now only appear when you click one of the titles like home or View.
