Trying an AI Genesis G60 again with the link @G. David Felt provided. I like this interior a lot more, I'm not sure about the look from the front. Here's the ones from the other thread

Exterior was Gemini Nano Banana 2, but then it hallucinated on the third picture and used up my free tokens. ChatGPT did the interior.

I think that interior is a little too close to the original HI6, but it's a step in the right direction

Genesis needs to build a G60 sedan based on the Ioniq 6. I really like everything about the Ioniq 6 except its rather spartan interior.

Discussion:BMW Says Goodbye to the Z4 with a Limited Final Edition for 2026
yeah, matte paint is a big wealth flex. I've never thought it looked like anything more than primer.

Discussion:BMW Says Goodbye to the Z4 with a Limited Final Edition for 2026
I've spent more time in the Supra than the Z4, but they are fantastic driving vehicles. The Supra is faster than the 86 obviously, but in both cases, they are like slipping on a perfect fitting running shoe that feels like part of your body more than a vehicle.

While him being good looking is a factor, this feels like a French Revolution type thing. Health Insurance companies are largely evil and people know it. They literally continued the meeting after the CEO got shot, that's how heartless they are.

How to disable AI CoPilot on Windows 11
That just means that it needs to be trained on what you're writing on. The more you use it, the better is gets (usually). I did quit grammarly because it was making changes I didn't like, but Microsoft's grammar checker seems to do pretty well now that it knows me.

Why is it always a Nissan Altima with a missing hubcap, smashed mirror, and bumper cover flapping in the wind who needs to go 20 mph over prevailing traffic? What are you late for besides your car payment?

Porsche News: 2026 Porsche Cayenne Goes Electric with 1,084 Horespower
Yeah, can’t really argue against the technology. I think Porsche is stuck in a hard place with their styling. There’s not a lot they can do style wise without alienating their traditional buyers. If they do like what Jaguar did with the last XJ when they dropped the traditional styling, they’d piss everyone off.

They only make the EValanche, nothing Colorado size yet. Ford is going to make something Ranger/Maverick sized in electric with their new platform.

Random Thoughts Thread
Ford's aluminum supplier burnt down. They don't have enough aluminum to build the gas F-150 at current demand. They make more profit on the gas model than the EV model. Additionally, it is getting left behind in tech by GM and Tesla (though both with their own baggage). It charges slower and has a lower range than either of those. It is a FANTASTIC EV, but buyers need to be able to live with those limitations, and that's a hard sell when the Chevy dealer next door has a truck with the same size bed that goes twice as far and charges twice as fast. For someone like my mom who doesn't do road trips and could plug in every night, the F-150 EV would be the perfect replacement for her old old King Ranch.

Costco has killer deal on new Dell 16" touchscreen laptop with 32gb ram and 1tB SSD coming up for the holidays.
@G. David Felt Oh my bad. On these ARM chips that’s nearly irrelevant as they have like 12+ of battery life anyway. It sounds like he doesn’t push it that hard.

He’s on 10. I don’t think they pushed the copilot features to that. With the Ram upgrade I could squeeze another 6 months out of it maybe if I really stripped it down, but there’s no more security updates for it, so it’s only a matter of time before it’s a liability.

For your purposes, this would be more than enough. BUT it won't play most games because it's an ARM processor instead of an x86. That said, for all of your regular "office" type work, it will be snappier than anything else at this price point. And it has the 10-key. Don't get me wrong, it's a cheap laptop, but it will be a great performing cheap laptop. https://www.costco.com/p/-/lenovo-ideapad-slim-3x-153-touchscreen-copilot-pc-laptop-qualcomm-snapdragon-x-wuxga-1920x1200-windows-11-home-16gb-ram-1tb-ssd/4000379412?langId=-1

Oh geeze. That's too old. It's a 4th Gen Intel and 7th Gen is the bare minimum. Bumping that up to 16 gb of ram might perk it up a bit, (1 or 2 of these https://amzn.to/3WSsFdn) but it would be a temporary fix. I don't think I could get 11 running on that. Linux Mint instead of Windows might be tolerable on it, but it would only be for web browsing and document editing, nothing more. Sadly, the best way forward is to wipe it and retire it. My 7th Gen that I hacked to get Win11 working on just barely runs it.
