While I appreciate that they intend to block extreme makeup or cosmetic surgery filters, I don't see anything about blocking AI-generated content that could be similarly harmful.

Sleep is in seconds for Linux/UNIX, but milliseconds on Windows. 50,000 ms is 50 seconds.

This has mostly affected me on my work PC. I just tried installing it to find out IT blocks adding new extensions now. :(

I'll just have to be extra careful not to reflexively close Firefox if my tabs don't show up, and make sure to make a backup of the old session file before restarting.

Windows 10 extended support on my main PC: if I have nothing better to do in the moment, I'll update before Windows picks the most inconvenient time to do it for me.

Windows 11: I almost never wake this laptop. When I do, it's always downloading and installing updates, running hot and at full tilt. Miserable POS.

TrueNAS: there's an update?

Home Assistant: maybe once every month or every other month, but only after perusing the change logs and checking against the breaking changes list.

Android: leave the update notification in the tray until I get home on my Wi-Fi, forget about it until I see it again the next day when I'm away from Wi-Fi again, rinse and repeat.

Firefox desktop: when Firefox starts refusing to load web pages

Honestly, of all the things I have to update, I find Firefox the most painful, firstly because of the suspension of functional browsing if I ignore it long enough (there's enough apps out there that update cleanly at launch that I feel like that should be the norm instead of forcing an end to a session), and secondly because updates have wiped my tabs on two occasions. I successfully recovered my tabs from a backed-up session file once, but completely lost them on the other occasion.

I'd say your list is a bit too short. Some more considerations (not comprehensive):

• Construction noise and seismic limits (nearby neighborhoods have been disturbed and experienced damage from blasting operations)
• Operating noise limits (ban on-site gas turbine generation, limit noise levels from cooling towers)
• Limit light pollution

Edit:

• Job protections and guarantees for workers displaced by automation

I don't know that he really wanted to fully execute on Hyperloop so much as build hype (and Tesla stock price) around the idea while sabotaging funding for California's high speed rail project. But yes, end goal to keep people buying his cars.
