I've never seen a white one before. I'm assuming that's some subspecies like the North American tit, although thinking about it that might be a more orange colour.
Yeah American TVs never seem to have them. I'm not sure why.
They were awful actually, they were far larger than they needed to be and they were very much like USB in that you needed to turn them over three times in order to insert them. It's not even as if the picture quality was even any better than composite so I don't know why we bothered.
That's also Tesla's fault. They massively overprice their cars so that even when they're competing against a tariff their cars are still more expensive than the competitions.
Oh and BYD cars have actually decent self-driving capabilities. Not that it's 100%, but it's a lot better than Tesla's offering, and unlike Tesla you don't have to pay extra for it, it's just standard.
Can you replace politicians I feel like that would actually be an improvement. Hell it'd probably be an improvement if the current system's replaced politicians.
To be honest though I've never seen any evidence that AGI is inevitable, it's perpetually 6 months away except in 6 months it'll still be 6 months away.
Isn't that what the states are for? The federal government is supposed to maintain basic security and then the states are supposed to do all of the actual societal work but it all seems to have fallen apart. To be honest it had fallen apart long before Trump.
Last month, Chinese EV automaker BYD outsold Tesla in Europe for the first time.
Because they're actually good cars and they come in varieties other than sports. Tesla has always had this problem that as soon as real car companies come along their own vehicles start to look less appealing in comparison. Just look at the explosion of electric pickups. And then Tesla answer that with the cybertruck, seriously that was the best they could do?
They had it all their own way at first because there were virtually no other EV car manufacturers. That is now starting to change and they haven't responded to that threat in any real way.
If you get old enough everyone's parents used to work for a big tech company. My mother who can barely operate her phone, used to work for a company that manufactured microchips.
Usually I am an earlier adopter of tech because I'm interested in technology, and I have money to burn. But I don't need a brain chip, I'm weird enough already without having to debug my own head.
I have to imagine though that most people want to come out of this alive and so unless ICE are coming for them, are unlikely to do anything if they see them.
This is going to isolate and ward off foreign business and visitors.
Also having tariff policies that just change every 5 minutes makes it rather hard to plan ahead, and businesses hate that. A lot of the companies that we work with have changed their policies so that the shipping fees to the US are either huge, or have restrictions on them such as at least €200 worth of product have to be spent before they'll ship anything. Meanwhile they'll ship to Indonesia for free for a product that cost €40.
This is because the time between shipping the product and the product being received in the US global trade policy might have changed six times. The only way to plan for that is to have a huge profit margin to absorb the weirdness.
Oh yeah the hanging up on you is really common. I would literally prefer a phone tree than having to talk to an AI because if what I wanted was something that would be simply explained to an AI, I would have done it myself on the website. The reason I'm calling is because I need someone with an actual brain, and in an understanding of the business, to use their brain to assist me with my somewhat complicated situation.
One time I got a credit card sent to my address that was for someone else. The letter was somehow addressed to me, but the credit card wasn't for me and I hadn't requested a credit card from this company. So I called the support line up and the stupid AI kept asking me for my customer ID. I told it I didn't have a customer ID because I wasn't a customer, and it said "thank you" and hung up on me. Fantastic.
In the end I had to call them out on Twitter in order to get in contact with a human.
I don't think I've ever seen a single suggestion of a way to implement age verification that isn't a privacy nightmare. Oftentimes they literally just want a credit card number, the assumption being that a child would never be able to get hold of such a thing.
In some of the worst cases they actually want a passport or other government ID sending to some organisation that would verify you. With all the fun potential data breaches that that would ensue.
Most of the time these rules never get off the ground because privacy advocacy groups basically sue over it and win every time.
I remain baffled every time I see support for this from "progressive" online spaces and voices
It's just people not using their brains, everything is just viewed at its surface level with no deeper analysis ever conducted. They are the sort of idiots that think that Starship Troopers is profascism.
