Epson Ecotank. I’ve been using mine for years and I only had to buy new ink once.

And I printed a lot of photos, notes, documents, etc

Those will still get their nozzles clogged if you don't run them.

This is the part where I get to point out that Brother inkjets do a little dance ~every day that keeps the heads fresh. They do this on their own as for long as they're powered up.

This allows them to work well even if years go by between prints. It's a very thoughtful design element.

(They don't survive sitting for months and months unpowered on a shelf very well, but... you'll have that.)

It’s 0.4 seconds faster than a 50K Model 3 performance.

At that point, does it even matter

Pure acceleration is not everything, especially on track. But I guess a Model S Plaid (RIP) would beat easily a Luce.

Mass unemployment and wealth inequality

We have that already. We did not need AI for that. AI will happily bring more and more of it though.

Rails is the worst. It’s so easy to make a mess and it’s hard to debug.

On: Linux gaming is faster because Windows APIs are becoming Linux kernel features

> As far as gaming is concerned Linux just works

Absolutely not. It works, it doesn't "just work". Tuning is absolutely required for a lot of games to get them working. Random crashes, "oh multiplayer doesn't work? singleplayer does?", random glitches, random performance issues, etc.

I still prefer dealing with some issues over dealing with Windows, but it doesn't "just work".

I'm very happy with my Linux install. After almost 2 decades of trying Linux Desktop and falling back to Windows (and MacOS) I've finally switched to Linux (and MacOS).

The only thing missing is my Adobe stuff. I now run Lightroom in a VM and it's incredibly slow to unusable.

On: Less human AI agents, please

“Use an agent to…” is much more effective in my experience, because they have no means in communicating with you. They are more likely to just do it
