No they don't rust if during winter you take 5 minutes to wash the undercarriage every other week at a self-service car wash.

What's wrong with your 2014 car? I live in northern europe, we get shitload of road salt in the winter and my 2014 car is fine. Winter is also the time when I use my car the most for commuting.

The shift to robotic cleaning is only accelerating and eventually all general cleaning personnel will be replaced by robots.

Hospitals need thorough cleaning yes and currently the quality varies greatly depending on who does the cleaning. If the cleaners have low morale and lack of motivation for whatever personal reason they do a crappy job. A robot doesn't have personal issues. The level of dexterity is not there yet but eventually cleaning will be done only by robots.

Take the 1x neo humanoid. It's lacking in autonomy only because the VLA model is still quite primitive. Now imagine what similar robots could do in 10 years if the AI side is fully developed.

Also the pricing is a non issue. A $50000 robot that can work for 5 years is a much better investment than paying a human.

The frontier toothpaste is the one with bioglass 45S5. Especially if you have sensitive teeth or your teeth are prone to caries.

In 5-10 years those tasks may be done by humanoid robots. Replacing cleaners with robots is already here. In many supermarkets and warehouses robots wet and dry clean the floors. A task that would take humans hours to do.

The Dyson is convenient yes. It's absolute shit for deep cleaning. The Dyson is good for daily light cleaning. But for a proper clean you still need a corded vacuum.

We have a Miele C3 and a Dyson V8 at home. The Miele cost twice as little as the Dyson and performs twice as much in actual cleaning power, filtration etc. Both machines have great durability and have worked flawlessly for years. If I had to choose only one of them I'd get the C3 over the Dyson without a hesitation.

You don't get that choice on any mobile platform.

I converted to an iphone 13 mini (from the S24 Ultra) after being on Android since the release of the HTC Desire in 2010. I used to install custom roms and tweak everything on all of my Android phones which actually lead me to the iphone because I realized I wanted a phone without all the OE clutter and Google crap. The only clutter on the iphone is icloud which stays out of the way and doesn't annoy me with subscription messages. Also I don't have time to fuck around with modifying my phone. I just want everything to work without user intervention.

If you lose a Yubikey you also lose the... key.

That is a wonderful idea with zero security implications whatsoever.

Also anyone with access to an LLM and half a brain can spin up a website.

It's the frictionless onboarding, simple UX and dopamine inducing content that enables those 3 companies rule the internet.

100kmh+100kmh does not equal the energy of a 200kmh collision. If such a collision avoidance system existed both cars would use side thrusters to avoid each other.

Torrents. Got the leaked GTA6 videos by torrenting and they're still easily available on public trackers. Don't see why projects like these couldn't be distributed similarly if shit hits the fan.
