Musk has moved on from trying to create an ‘internet bank’. Dude now wants to make something like LINE or WeChat, which is absolutely hilarious.

It’s not that easy to break an addiction, but I have faith that Musk can fuck this website up juuuuust enough to chase away a higher percentage.

They’ll just call every one of those inactive accounts ‘bots’ and be done with it

Easily the money. There were many things in life that didn’t go quite right for me, but there was a lot that did as well. If I muck around with what already happened, I might end up worse than I did.

lol no problem, the way this was reported definitely made it seem like this was something new when it was really not.

Uhh just to clear up a misunderstanding, Apple and everyone else already scans your photos in the cloud and compares them to a pre-curated hash of known CSAM. What Apple was trying to do was do the scans on-device instead, for photos outbound to Apple’s iCloud. Supposedly, this was to make sure that your photos weren’t directly scanned by Apple themselves.

Yeah, and the most accessible too; meaning a lot of people who would love to mess around with their cars to get more value for their money.

It uses pull-tab adhesive, which even most Right-to-Repair advocates consider ‘sufficiently repairable’. When it comes to glue, Samsung’s worse by a mile.

Probably yes period

With Apple, people generally let it slide because electronics aren’t as expensive and don’t last as long. Cars, on the other hand, are extraordinarily expensive and they’re supposed to last a lot longer than a phone.

Plus, at least Apple doesn’t (for example) charge you extra just to ‘unlock’ more performance on your phone.

Imagine being able to retrofit these with solid-state batteries when they’re a thing. These hackable 3s might someday go for a premium.

Especially when FSD is still garbage. Seems to me like they just wanted to trigger FOMO.

This sucked.

…I’ve somehow lived this long without realizing that HP printers apparently need subscriptions to run now.

Your data is valuable, so they’ll probably just collect it and use it to target ads

The reason I’m not giving examples is because I’m simply here to say that your example was garbage.

Dude, you’re the one trying to paint Einstein as some sort of authority on the subject. He’s the same guy who urged the US to begin work on the Nuclear Bomb, which we both know the results of.

He was a smart man and a great scientist, but a great judge of moral character he was not.

I’m not ‘shitting on Einstein’, I’m simply saying he’s not some sort of political or economic expert. If he were, he’d be famous for those as well as for being a pre-eminent physicist.

Giving weight to someone’s opinion on one topic just because they’re an expert on a different topic is highly inadvisable.

Holy fucking shit, it’s been years since I’ve even heard about ‘pokes’!

So…yeah, a naked appeal to authority. Einstein was nigh-unmatchable in his field, but that doesn’t mean his intelligence was applicable to every other field. In fact, one of the worst things you can do is consider an expert in one field an automatic ‘authority’ in others.
