This is awesome, but now we need better battery tech that doesn’t rely on lithium and cobalt. Getting that up to this scale will be hard, though.

Isn’t this standard enshitification?

Google started off like any new tech company years ago and they did have a superior product. Then they went public and Wall Street started expecting certain revenue numbers every quarter, growth slowed because they saturated the market, so the core product was pushed toward making money instead staying true to the original goals.

Typical stuff, really

So what? The biggest part of picking a President is the people they’re going to put in their cabinet and surround themselves with. That’s the problem with Trump. He’s going to fill the presidency with a bunch of maga ass hats, on top of doing his own damage.

In my field, the way I’ve seen Oracle contracts rationalized is the same way IBM contracts are rationalized… they’re stupid expensive, usually under deliver, but they’re the biggest names. When the project goes south, the buyer can tell their superiors “well we hired IBM, and they’re the best, so what else could I have done?” It’s a form of of CYA.

I looked it up and you’re correct. I didn’t realize Uber started literally as “UberCab” and later dropped the “cab” and added the personal car ride sharing component. Thx for the tip!

Yep. Just like Uber it morphed, from people sharing a ride or their place while on vacation, into full time drivers and landlords. Not the philosophical intebt of the original service, and it ruined it for everyone.

That’s exactly what I mean. Employees in At Will states can legally be fired for anything short of violations of protected classes, so I’m not sure how he’s expecting to win here.

Perhaps he’s forgotten that free speech means you’re free to say whatever you want, but you’re not free from the repercussions. Especially in all the “at will” employee states.

This is so stupid.

You can use the AC is fine and you get pretty close to the rated mileage, but the heated air is a bigger drain.

I’ve tested in my own model 3 and the range and kwh usage is actually pretty accurate as advertised assuming you accelerate slowly, drive the speed limit, and don’t run the heat, and don’t have a strong headwind. Many people, including myself, absolutely do not drive like that, so the range will be less.

Yeah, I suggest using Signal to communicate with friends…

I believe those are only the hardware recalls since everything else in this article is a simple OTA software update.

“The representative told Taiwan News that the purpose of the defacements was to protest against “Google’s harsh inactive account policy” and to warn Russian President Vladimir Putin against using tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine or jeopardizing the safety of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant”

Could someone explain why Google or Russia would care about UN websites? That’s like saying took a dump on the floor at my local McDonald’s to protest the apartheid in Gaza.

$200 one time to completely replace someone as an actor.

Now think about all the other workers in industries WITHOUT union backing. They will have no recourse, and will simply be replaced.

We all live in interesting times, unfortunately…

DVD recorder - hell yes. I probably ended up with 300 totally legally burned copies of Netflix rentals that I’ve since thrown away because DVD quality now looks like trash.

Raspberry Pi - yes,though underused.

Didn’t have the others cause they didn’t really appeal to me. No major use case, IMO
