Nonsense. This is some Trump style math.

Absolutely 100% incorrect on towing. The 95 top f150 towed about 7700 compared to 13500 today. That's an f350 in 95. It'll also fit a family of 4 comparable to a full size sedan eliminating any need of a secondary vehicle. The old f150/1500s were miserable in the back.

As for the safety I find the argument disingenuous not based on reality. Roughly 160 kids were killed in 23 with the EU27. It was 220 in the US. Much of that could be correlated to traffic density as well.

Country / Region Est. Fatalities/Year Child Pop. (0–14) Fatalities per Million

United States ~225 ~61 million ~3.7 United Kingdom ~22 ~11.5 million ~1.9 Canada ~12 ~6 million ~2.0 Australia ~11 ~4.8 million ~2.3 Germany ~20 ~11 million ~1.8 France ~18 ~11 million ~1.6 Japan ~18 ~15 million ~1.2 India ~3,000 (est.) ~360 million ~8.3 Brazil ~450 ~50 million ~9.0 European Union (EU-27) ~140–160 ~72 million ~2.0–2.2

I think we should offer incentives for manufacturers to start reducing size and weight, but things you are saying here aren't really based off of any data nor was it what I was asking.

I just wish I could find one person to show me what they are referencing when they repeat that seemingly false fact.

Do you have any data to support this is actually the case? I see this all the time but absolutely zero evidence but a 2015 Axios survey with no methodology or dataset. Nearly every article cites this one industry group with 3 questions that clearly aren't exclusive categorical and could be picked apart by a high school student.

I ask this question nearly every time I see this comment and in 5 years I have not found a single person who can actually cite where this came from or a complete explanation of even hope they got to that conclusion.

The truck owners I know, myself included, use them all the time for towing and like the added utility having the bed as as secondary feature.

AI without demand but also destroying the planet. Typical complex line of thought on the Internet.

I personally have a custom block on my setup, but I'm hardly average and use a qnap nas for my Linux service needs.

But to answer your question, yes basically most do. The average user walks into a best buy or Walmart and buys something in their price range. An even smaller percent will head to Dell or iBuyPower and buy a "low, mid, high" range of pre-builts and make few if any real customization.

They will do no research into GPU/CPU other than nivida vs AMD vs intel choices. They have no idea other than some very basic performance numbers eg I have 32G or ram and would give you a funny look if you asked them about vram.

You have zero clue.

EntreID is a SAML/ODIC IdP. You have to run something like Keycloak or purchase Okta.

Apple doesn't offer true MDM, only tracking and disabling. JAMF, the premire apple MDM has absolutely nothing on InTune.

SharePoint is a disaster, but far less so than SMB, and it's usually a lack of process more than the tech. But out of the box you have RBAC sharing and access controls with data labeling and scanning every single email and document for PII leakage and prevent it from being savrd much less sent.

You are clearly a non practitioner and completely ignorant with zero experience with MSP services.

We're in a thread about usability and the first thing I have to do is research special companies and pay a premium to make shit work? Muuuch easier.

I'm not saying Linux isn't usable as a daily. I'm saying it requires more work. Certainly moreso than OSX which is the realistic alternative path for most users.

Usage has little to do with office. It's the identity controls, easy compliance, built in MDM, SharePoint/OneDrive, etc. Office is the add-on. Identity, RBAC, SAML, laptop fleet deployment out of the box.

But I use docker to write my react apps! Totally the same thing!

Even with containers being easy apple fucked up file performance because of apfs and windows is the far better choice.

Ahh right the. 01% of users actually using Unix on their Mac minis 🤣

Immediately you all go out to edge cases that pretty much only developers and maybe some days folks run into 🤣.

Tossing out SMB as if normal people use that shit 🤣. You folks just don't get it. Most people don't even want to deal with installing Plex from a double click. They open the Web browser and that's 85% of the usage.

I build HA services in AWS all day. I understand how peaceful Linux is. You are missing the point entirely.

Year of the e Linux desktop!

The only reason Linux desktop has a fighting chance is valve is putting in billions to fix the mistakes of people like you.
