Bullshit. Being able to eventually get somewhere doesn't mean the infrastructure is "there" unless your standard for "there" is low. Charging every 100-150 miles means a long trip will take literally hours longer. That is just unacceptable for most people. I've done the trip across Pennsylvania several times in a Tesla, and Pennsylvania actually has decent charger coverage. But my trip still took a solid HOUR longer than usual. And if I have to wait in line at a full Tesla charger, it'll add even more than an hour.

The fact that you, personally, are okay with driving slower doesn't mean everyone else is. And that argument doesn't even touch the fact that you're only saying the infrastructure is there for Teslas. What about all the other brands? Everyone in America has to buy a Tesla?

An EV would work if the infrastructure was there.

Right, but it's not yet. So a PHEV is a better option for most people (for now).

Oh my God this is hilarious.

SMS stands for SCHOOL OF MOLECULAR SCIENCE.

My dude, stop smoking weed and take some actual classes, maybe a debate class or something.

So, this article actually disagrees with you, it lends you no credibility at all. You said in another comment that you have evidence, I'd love to see it.

But I'll go ahead and warn you: if your evidence is just the existence of an SMS "advisor" chat bot, I'm going to be very rude and condescending, and continue to make fun of you, because that isn't evidence of anybody being "replaced".

Edit: for those following along, it's even dumber than I thought. OP saw "SMS" and assumed it meant texting, when it really stands for School of Molecular Science

Found out about what? That they haven't actually replaced any staff with chat bots? Because that's what this article says.

Did you just give us a fucking screenshot of an article headline instead of linking an actual article? (Edit 2: OP has now edited the post and added the link, thanks for that I guess.)

Edit: AND you gave it a misleading title? Jesus Christ, this is the peak of low effort bullshit.

Here's the article, in case anyone wants to actually learn something instead of just reading a headline and commenting something edgy: https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/18/24043017/openai-arizona-state-university-asu-chatgpt

Here's what it actually says:

The university will begin taking project submissions from faculty and students on where to use ChatGPT beginning in February. ... There may even be room for chatbots to act as personalized tutors for ASU students, said Jones.

Literally doesn't say a single word about "replacing advisors or educators".

No. It all depends on how you drive it. If you just drive a PHEV around town and do the occasional road trip (which is how most people drive) then the ICE engine sees very little wear and requires very little service.

If you're doing constant road trips and burning up the road, a PHEV is not for you. And neither is an EV, honestly.

PHEV is not the same as a common hybrid. It's literally in the name.

General Motors is thinking about bringing back plug-in hybrids

GREAT! Ditching PHEV's was a stupid idea, we don't have the charging infrastructure for most people to buy EV's moving forward. We need an interim solution, and PHEV's work great. They use a LOT less gas for most people (depending on driving habits) but you have the fuel tank in case you're on a long road trip, or in a charging desert.

Have y'all seen the new Prius Prime? It starts at $33k, it actually looks kinda cool (subjectively), and it's FAST (objectively). We need more cars like that.

Not.

What features do you specifically want? You mentioned sandboxing. Anything else?

I'd say just keep it simple. If you're comfortable with Debian then stick with that, study up and learn how to harden it. Kali, ParrotOS, Mint, Ubuntu.....they're all just based on Debian with different preinstalled apps and desktop environments. Fedora and Arch are kinda weird and unique, I'm not sure if I'd recommend those for anyone, unless you KNOW that's what you need. Qubes seems interesting, I'm not familiar with that.

But I'll point out that ALL of these distros are miles ahead of Windows in terms of privacy. So just by using Mint for a while, you were already ahead of the curve.

The truncated versions are annoying, but honestly I understand why. These websites live entirely off ad sales, without them they go bankrupt. So letting RSS readers scrape an ad-free version of an article makes no sense to them.
