“Google shuts down Gemini cloud services” lol, is amazing

It’s not about learning programming, more about learning how to solve leet code problems quickly as I understand it

Nah, people especially younger ones associate the floppy disk with the save button

A lot of apps people use these days are cloud-first and automatically save all the time, so there's not even a save button to have a floppy icon for! The icon to say that it's synced looks like a cloud, and if you're using a web browser it'll probably have a Download button with a download icon. No floppy disks in sight.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's computer users out there that wouldn't recognise the "save icon".

RIP in peace

I disagree. Not all it's "autosave on cloud", and some apps keeps having an explicit save something button or option.

I recently had a discussion about replacing the "save icon" (IE. the old floppy disk icon) for an icon with an arrow pointing down, for a button that saves (don't download!) a custom query of the user in the system. Perhaps it could be replaced with another icon, but not by someone that everyone would think is "Download".

they think it's a soda vending machine

My daughter understood what the Chrome icon was for before she could even spell ‘Chrome’.

Heck most people won’t be upgrading every few years, the m1 Macs are still plenty good today, it sounds like this guy just wants a MacBook Pro that runs highly tuned Unix based OS that is not macOS

Well, top performance electronics is usually going to be more expensive than the more nominal options.

And if there's not enough to go around to begin with, it might as well be a niche of some kind, you can't expect everyone to choose the most expensive option by any means.

Now if the user base is nowhere near the majority, and you're already in a high-dollar niche anyway because of the desired performance level, might as well escalate from the merely expensive, to the glaringly overpriced in addition. That's a well-worn playbook.

When the sweet spot is hit with loads of customers striving to afford the top-shelf items, while in actuality everyone is settling for a shadow of what should be offered by the biggest business machines companies, it's not the hardware that's the problem. Too few people are grumbling and accept they just have to make do with what they have.

Most buyers do not use consumer electronics as money-making machines, the genres and cost-structures have undergone generations of evolution to be optimized for consumption of the electronics, as actually opposed to the business machines they once were.

If you want to use yours as a money-making machine, it will probably pay for itself even if the purchase price is a small multiple of the popular budget consumer version. But way more money is being put into making it difficult to tell the difference, more money than most small companies are even worth.

>supported by a company that is user aligned.

Interestingly, you can't buy that with money, even from the most financially-oriented of companies.

oh no, this is going to cause abomninations,

I think the removal of standard manual doors is the actual crime

And we as consumers should also take responsibility and simply not buy these vehicles.

The good news is that at least as it pertains to getting rid of physical controls, automakers have largely learned their lesson and are trying to go back as fast as reasonably possible (while also trying to balance recouping the tooling costs from fewer buttons). VW was heavily heavily criticized and is bringing it all back.

I’m confident that if consumer sentiment starts to skew one way regarding electronic door handles, we will also see a reversal. What is unfortunate now is that other automakers are following the lead that Tesla set. Tesla essentially proved one type of electronic door and it is engineered in such a way to be cheap and reliable enough. I’m confident that if engineers are given the space to really innovate and explore ideas, they can find something that is both better mechanically while remaining highly aerodynamic.

ID.BUZZ with physical controls would be my dream car, no joke.

Currently the main issues for me are the shitty touch buttons and underpowered heater (it's the same as in the ID.4, which has like 30% of the interior volume of the BUZZ...)

At least Tesla does have a very easily accessible button to manually open the door

Didn't they only add those after losing a lawsuit?

And, I swear I heard about another one for cyber trucks, but with the vitriol surrounding them I'm not even going to try and find it.

I have no idea, don’t own a Tesla and haven’t been in one that often.

Looks like some models might have the manual door release switch easily accessible in the front but not in the back, about what you’d expect from Tesla.

At least the fact that they have a decent solution shows that there’s no reason this has to be a problem for electric doors.

As a phone user, I hate you, I hate how good this is. That counter is just mocking me.
