Tesla sales were driven by an $8,000 tax credit that doesn’t exist anymore. That company is sinking faster than the Titanic now that the tax credit has disappeared.

Touchscreens are cheaper to install than tactile buttons. That’s the draw for carmakers.

A few, like Tesla, have successfully made cars that act and feel like consumer devices—vehicles with lots of tech features, **** and a steady stream of meaningful software updates. Most are playing catch-up.

“smooth digital interfaces”

Nobody actually fucking wants this!

It doesn’t have to be a “dumb” car. Just don’t route everything through a stupid touchpad. I know it costs more to install buttons but I don’t want to have to hunt and peck through dropdown menus to turn on the radio or air conditioning. And I definitely don’t want a subscription service, that will be canceled eventually, to access remote start.

I have it piping audio to three different devices at the same time. And believe it or not they’re all in sync… most of the time.

Considering the fact that AI based age verification now usually involves taking a head shot and uploading it to the servers of the company, I’m guessing there is an element of facial data collection involved as well.

Never before have I seen a more perfect representation of how I feel about people who attribute ancient artifact and builds to aliens simply because they can’t figure out how humans were able to do said things.

Keep it as a private school. Let the rich kids become dumber.

I better question in terms of the teeth of the laws is, are there any real consequences to an operating system provider just ignoring them and not providing any kind of age verification in their software whatsoever?

The question I assume will get answered soon enough by GrapheneOS since they have told everyone asking for OS age verification to go pound sand.

Didn’t they shitcan the age verification thing in systemd and they fire the guy who put it in? Or was that just a joke post?

He didn’t go MAGA, he always was. Same for Sorbo and same for Jim Caviezel.

It is past tense. They are currently owned by Lenovo, which is a Chinese company.

In 2012, Google acquired Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion, with the intention of using the company’s patents to bolster its Android operating system. However, Google’s ownership of Motorola Mobility was short-lived. In 2014, the search giant sold the company to Lenovo for $2.91 billion.

There is a galaxy of difference between a kid who thinks they can get away with being a brat with no consequences and a kid who has the level of emotional problems that can lead to self harm. Not to mention the difference between a parent who is just teaching their kid that there are consequences to their actions vs a parent who simply doesn’t care about whether or not they are harming their kid with excessive punitive actions.

That’s an entirely different situation though. Picky eater is more of a clinical issue. And brute forcing such things never works. Kid being an asshole however, well that, that we can fix reverse assholianism.

I dropped them for DDG over a year ago. Never have had a cause to regret.

DDG lets you just turn off the AI crap.

“According to the flight attendant directly involved in the matter, the passenger boarded with an open container which she admitted contained alcohol when questioned. Bringing an open container of alcohol on board violates both Frontier policy and federal law. When the flight attendant informed the passenger of the violation, the passenger rapidly consumed the remaining alcohol in the cup before handing it over,” the airline told Newsweek.

If you read the whole article, you tend to get the whole story.

Well, there’s the people on the plane right there who are advocating for her. I rather doubt they would be stepping up to her defense if she was being a complete asshole to the crew.

She had an alcoholic drink in a cup. Which means she got something in the airport lounge and instead of throwing it out she just downed the last of it before getting on the plane. This is not an unusual thing passengers do it all the time.

And regardless of her personality shitty or otherwise. The crew had no right to kick her off the way they did.

Turn off history on youtube. From that point on you will only get shorts from the people you’re actually subscribed to and nothing else.

Oh and even with history turned off when you start a regular video from one of your favored creators, the sidebar will continue to suggest videos from other people you are not subscribed to. So you will not be completely isolated. But it will tone down the brain rot considerably.
