Once again we find a situation where the ultra loud minority are taking up all the oxygen while the silent majority simply does not care.

God I fucking hate social media.

Yeah if you’re going to go hard on protesting, you should probably not be using an iPhone. Literally the least secure phone in the entire universe.

The fog was not the point.

Tank man is not what happened at Tiananmen square. That was the next morning as the tanks were returning from the slaughter of college kids.

And iirc, the reason they didn’t run his ass over too is because they knew there was about a thousand cameras staring them down, live on the air across the world.

Okay here’s a situation. You’re on a road and it’s gotten foggy and the roads are a bit slick because of the fog. All of a sudden the comfortable 68° temperature you have the cabin set to is causing your windshield to fog up. On a car with buttons and knobs you can just reach over grab it twist a knob or press a button and change the setting. However, with touch screen menus you have to actually turn to look at the screen, taking your eyes off the road in unsafe weather, to find the setting to switch it to defog. That’s just one scenario there are at least a dozen others. Not to mention what would happen when it’s snowing out and you have to take your eyes off the road to search a touch screen for the right setting on anything. Radio, brights, 4 wheel drive, etc etc etc…

Maybe the problem in our society is the people who are only motivated by profit.

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.

It’s telling that all of the coverage of the ceasefire has basically omitted the role that the Prime Minister of Pakistan played in making it happen.

Fuck Western media. Propaganda machines for the oligarchy.

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.

And yet both have irredeemably fucked up the world.

Mark my words, by the end of Trump’s term the United States is going to have no allies left in the entire world.

Hell, we barely have any left as it is now.

You beat me to it. I was going to comment that this is literally the stupidest shit I have ever heard in my goddamn life.

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.

We will still be left with Vance who is just as bad if not worse.

Ok hear me out… MAGNETS

Hundreds of em all in a big ball. Tie it to a counterweight and then spin that fucker through lower orbit like a skip-it and soak up all the debris!

Nothing could possibly go wrong.

And then shared it with the rest of us. Way to be part of the problem.

There was no blame implied in the statement.
