Let’s just ignore that oil companies owning patents killed evs for years my gripe here is Tesla’s “self driving” isn’t actually self driving? It is basically advanced cruise control and requires supervision, Tesla is not liable for it running into things, and there is no indication of that changing anytime soon?

I sincerely wish that any company that advertised unlimited and didn't actually allow unlimited X was penalized because it is straight up false advertising.

unlimited data (but after 5tb we throttle you to 100kpbs) is not unlimited it is 5tb + 100k * 30 * 24 * 60 * 60

Google was unlimited with 5 users. Then they rug pulled and it was "as much as you need" + "you can request increases every 3 months". then prices went way up. now its "you are only allowed 3 increases"

its fine to have limits but businesses should be forced to disclose them upfront

So in following the law vs being safe you say “follow the law and make the roads more dangerous” because… why?

Overbuilt roads aka “strodes”are real common in North America and as people tend to drive the speed they feel is correct not the limit it leads people to going faster and create unsafe situation. There’s a great not just bikes video on this iirc

A sign doesn’t really change behaviour but narrowing roads , separated bike lanes, pedestrian controlled crossings, roundabouts, and generally making the road “feel slower” does

People tend to just ignore speed limits and drive at the speed they feel safe and comfortable.

If you want people to drive slower you just design the road to slow them down.

No it is not. Distracted or impaired driving is the most dangerous aspect.

What is the trick? every 2-3 years Apple usually has hardware improvements motivating it. Is the trick just making better products?

For me I got a 14 for upgraded GPS and satellite, no plans for a 15. My dad is on a 12 and my mom a 10 and totally content. I think my brother has an 11. Most people I know don’t obsessively buy upgrades and those I know who do are actually split between Apple and android- and do it with other things too ie it’s the personality behind it not the company “tricking” them. Some ppl even do it with cars wanting the latest

No it was not. Stop lying And making up facts like Alex jones did.

“Punishing someone for theft or murder isn’t going to prevent that”

Is basically the argument you’re making here. So I guess we shouldn’t have any punishment for any behaviour then eh?

It was proved in a court of law that no. That’s not all he did.

By that logic everything that comes out with new versions is a “subscription”

Guess I’m a Toyota subscriber as in 10 years I’ll be buying a new Tacoma

Please explain why you think that’s apples new goal? The link doesn’t

There is nothing I am aware of that Apple has done indicating this and plenty to show they are not (e2e cloud backups, on device llm) they continually find ways to provide services without needing access to your data or keeping your data on device

Fwiy it takes a while for these things to have impact, look at Boeing.

I just purchased affinity suite this year because I’m done with adobe for good now. I don’t see them doing anything to ever win me back as a customer

I mean that is kinda a result of poor treatment of workers thou? If the railroads hired enough people, didn’t union bust, and keep reducing crew size from 4, to 3, to 2, snd now I think single crew trains? A lot of what makes the job bad would go away.

Maybe the reason younger people are not coming in is the bad treatment of workers and union busting?

Bus is not as good, far from better, and worse for the environment

It’s not the same?

Trains are great for the environment and pack a lot of people into a small area.

Roads and cars do not.

It’s not “more efficient” it’s just cheaper/more profitable for the shareholders.

It’s awful for passengers. It’s bad for the environment (derailments), it is less then ideal for customers outside unit trains and drives them to trucks , and current infrastructure does not support it nor is being upgraded too. Freight outside unit train has/is being gutted

And no passenger rail is better for the environment and more convenient when you have a good rail system

A good but long video on why rail in America is bad, awful, and failing is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNkYNjADoZg

It covers long trains

Problem is the damage is already done. You lost your job. Your kid committed suicide. The mod has murdered.

You can’t undo that, not to mention it not illegal to fire someone because if you read some false facts in the paper

Literal people on this site arguing that people should be free from consequences. Replies to my comment here saying “defamation shouldn’t exist Alex jones did nothing wrong”

It was great for short term profit and stock value and everyone involved in making those choices is either dead or soon to be dead and doesn’t have to deal with the fallout.

America does not have true freedom of speech as it places all sorts of limits on it

Nowhere does

Should I be able to make wild claims about my product to trick you into buying it? False claims about my buisness performance to pump the stock? Lies about your character? Your kids? made up stuff that whips up entire segments of your city to commit violence or vandalism against you?

Because absolute free speech is allowing all that without consequence

It’s not that your friend “woke up” it’s that his BAC dropped enough for his brain to start correctly forming memories again not that his consciousness “came back online”. It never went away just that no memories were formed during that time

If I lie about you or your company in my newspaper causing you financial or other harm should I not face consequences such as a lawsuit or should I be allowed to destroy your life consequence free because I feel like it?

What about if I lie about my product and you use it and it fails to deliver, or causes you direct harm? Should I be allowed to do that?

Or I start going off about some crazy racist or other bullshit should you be forced to platform/employ/listen to me?

Iirc the hit from ac/dc conversion is 10-20%? So excluding ac from the equation saves 20-40% power use

A right to free speech does not mean speech without consequences.

You can say what you want but you don’t get to hide behind “free speech” when the consequences start knocking

Well I think you pretty succinctly proved the parent posts point lol

Tl;dr, basically it’s just real cheap.
