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.

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.

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

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.

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.

That’s because here in the Midwest we get a lot of our oil for gasoline from Canada. But demand is going to continue to spike and it will not stay that way.

Child kicks hornets’ nest, friends of child are shocked that hornets got angry and started stinging people at random and don’t just give up and leave their honey behind.

The stupidest thing is that ChatGPT originally told him to pay them too. He had to get creative with the prompts in order to get actionable suggestions.

the bill, which already has broad public support. A recent Harvard CAPS/Harris poll of 1,999 registered voters found that 71% support the SAVE America Act.

I highly doubt that most of those people polled have any idea of what Republicans actually mean by “proof of citizenship”. I would bet money they just think it means showing your driver’s license and/or social security card.

In reality, it means having to show a valid passport (which is a massive pain in the ass to obtain) or having a copy of your birth certificate (also a huge pain in the butt to get).

Polls lie, always have and always will. It’s not about the question but how you ask it.

Two things. First, Kirsten Sinema can get fucked, she seems to have screwed every person who’s ever come into contact with her, especially her constituents in Arizona. But second, this is the most ridiculous lawsuit I’ve ever heard of.

North Carolina is one of a handful of states that allow jilted spouses to sue for “alienation of affection” to seek damages from a third party responsible for the breakup of their marriage.

This is the kind of corn fried bullshit one can expect from these fucking Southern States. Marriage isn’t sacred, it’s not even all that important. I think if we reduced it down to contract law like it’s should be, things would be a lot simpler. In fact limiting marriage contracts to 20, 30, or 40 year lengths and adding in specific stipulations would probably improve a lot of people’s experience with it.

P.S. also a not quite third thing. Her lawyer’s last name is Epstein. And I just realized how much it really must fucking suck for anybody who has that last name right now.

Following your example to its logical conclusion.

There is something we can do. We can hold the other grenades accountable for their explosive nature. Something that has traditionally not been done. Which has led to the situation as it stands now. The company line has always been grenades explode, that’s just their nature.

We’ve been indoctrinated into believing that if we step in and tell a man to back off from harassing a woman that we are “cock blocking” them and that is impolite. It’s not and men aren’t entitled to being allowed to talk to women just because they want to.

He also did it to help Russia recover economically.

They are cheap for a reason…

I really don’t understand what the value they see in putting age checks on operating systems. Like where is this coming from? Who whispered in their ear that OS age checks are something that need to be done?

Why do democrats love bad candidates?

Because billionaires own all of the media. And billionaires don’t like progressives.

Yeah Kyrsten Sinema comes straight to mind. That woman was an absolute plant by the Republican party.
