Huh?

The author mentions getting tired and having to take rest breaks while driving their normal car. I’d argue that if you’re too tired to drive, you’re way too tired to supervise FSD.

I get it, having a stressful and difficult job followed by a long drive home is hella hard. But at least, when you’re driving, you feel tired. You feel the need to pull over and rest, which is objectivelly more safe. In FSD mode, what happens if you fall asleep? Maybe the car will sense it, but what if you’re dozing off doing microsleep with your eyes open? (i’m not sure how common it is, it happens to me sometimes)

At least in a normal car your feet are on the pedals and hands on the wheel if you doze off. In FSD, you have to add the reaction time of a waking human to the time it takes to move your hands and feet to the wheel and pedals, and then you can apply a correction. It’s… geez.

Have you tried webex? It’s like teams but on dumb-‘roids, the notifications are shot, the messages always pull your taskbar up, calls always get routed to either the wrong input or output, calls drop half the time… and the list goes on and on…

Time and time again questions like these come up, and always go unanswered or ignored, mostly since the very question is wrong. Any computer is a good Linux computer, as well as (maybe kinda) any computer is a good Windows computer.

Instead of asking “is X good for Y”, you should give us more information about your workflow. A thinkpad that is perfect for code editing or general office work is next to useless for CAD work or games.

So, my advice, in future, tell us what you’re looking for. The underlying OS is just a tool for running your programs. Hope this doesn’t come accross as condescending, this isn’t my goal :)

This was a wonderful read. As a non-english-speaker, meeting drag’s first comment was a giant semi to run into, so much so that it mentally hurt to read.

You’ve changed my mind about drag though. You’re right, it matters little if they’re trolling or not; at the end of the day, if the “price” for inclusivity for ALL pronouns and identities is to encounter a troll every now and then, it’s a price we should be willing to pay, for a better place for everyone.

(n.b. not claiming they are a troll, just speaking in hypotheticals)
