It already exists, even as a Docker. Not as simple as an *arr style interface, but it works great one you set it up.

What you need are good laws, not so much a 4 day work week. I just go to the doctor during office hours and tell my employer I have to go. I even get paid time off for it, like everyone else working in this country. Same for the dentist or any other kind of medical thing.

Sure, it's not always optimal if you work in some sort of shift, but they are required to make sure you can go.

By the way, not that I wouldn't appreciate a 4 day work week, but this seems like a bit of a stretch to say that this is the reason why you would need one.

To not even consider the consequences of deploying systems that may farm your company data in order to train their models "to better serve you". Like, what the hell guys?

Ah man, those times were great. Bored? Just push the button and you'll see something new. No scrolling, just a new website with random interesting stuff to explore.

And it's objectively a worse experience for it.

Ever heard of Jehovah's witnesses? Or Mormons going on their mission? They aren't constant here, but they are definitely a thing in the Netherlands.

I had a nice one today. I saved an email for archiving for all to see ( you know, as a .msg) and tried to open it. Windows asked if I would like to open it with Outlook (new). Sure, I thought, only to be greeted by the message "sorry, this function is not supported".

Why do you do this to me Microsoft?! Why?!

I would honestly hope we would be smart enough not to go the road of the car again but instead invest in good public transportation, at least in cities and other densely populated areas. Flying cars, even automated, would be a terrible idea from both risk and energy/climate change perspectives.

So why not use something like WhatsApp or Signal instead then? Sounds like a terrible user experience to me. Nobody I know uses iMessage, everybody uses WhatsApp instead, which is platform agnostic.

But I'm European, so the iPhone penetration is lower iirc and they can't stay in their bubble as much.

It's the order of importance sir! First one on the list actually gets work done!

Wacht, heeft hij nou eigenlijk wel antwoord gegeven op de vraag die hij zelf in de titel stelt? Hij heeft een hoop opgehangen over de koopman, de dominee en de oude man, maar echt iets verklaren doet hij niet.

Dit is altijd een beetje het probleem wat ik heb met zijn video's. Hij herhaalt populaire Nederlandse mythes die helemaal niks verklaren. De koopman en de dominee? Sure, begin eens met verzuiling in plaats van die nationale mythe er weer bij te halen. Dan kom je waarschijnlijk verder met een verklaring dan op deze manier. Het is echt een stuk complexer dan wat hij hier uitlegt.

That's not a problem that a small machine like this will fix though. The problem with EVs towing isn't that they don't have enough power to tow, it's that the energy consumption goes up significantly due to changes in aerodynamics and the loss of regen braking. Petrol and diesel cars have the same problem, but can refuel quickly. EVs can't.

Now imagine an autonomous trailer drone behind your EV. It's most likely going to be electric, as most new automotive things are going to be electric by now. Then there are two options:

  1. You end up with a small thing that can't go very far due to limited battery capacity.
  2. You end up with a gigantic machine that can go pretty far, but that's in no way cheap or easy to store.

In the first case you might as well use your own EV to tow. In the second case you might as well just rent or buy a vehicle meant for towing. I don't see how the economics of it are going to make sense.
