I am trying to be more energy conscious so I’ve been turning mine off more as of late, but ya in the past I typically left my machine up for 7 - 14 days and only power off/reboot after updating.

Most people are unintelligent sacks of meat, not much critical thought about what they do runs through their minds.

The comeback. I paid for a teamspeak server when I was a teen and used it extensively with friends for many years. As I got older I have only used discord a handful of times to talk to other people already on that platform. Discord has always sucked Imo, if it’s free you’re the product. That’s how it always has been.

I hope it gets even more shit so people will leave the platform.

True, I suppose I’m fairly niche in that regard. I mostly made scans of environments using photogrammetry. Basically just documenting a space in time. Like my room, or house, or place I work. It’s cool having a 3d environment, it hits different than a photo. I will be able to explore my old spaces I use to be in everyday in the future if I want to reminisce.

What? Safe sex solves a significant amount of issues like sexually transmitted diseases and underage pregnancy. What In the world are you trying to say?

There probably wouldn’t be much religion, how nice that would be. Religion would mostly cease to exists if children were not indoctrinated before they developed critical thinking skills.

Religion relies on naive children being brought into the fold, and to a lesser degree damaged and desperate adults needing hope or something to believe in.

I agree with you except I really want lidar, making 3d scans of things is fun and cool. I got really into photogrammetry a few years ago and Lidar is the one iPhone feature I’m jealous of.

Realizing capitalism sorta sucks

Good ol’ AI

Good point, didn’t think about it like that haha

“UK developing new hybrid non lethal/lethal weapon that will use murder risk prediction score to select operating mode. This amazing invention will cut down on police related deaths, learn more tonight on BBC.”

I swear the UK is as dystopian as the US and even worse in a lot of ways.

I have a sneaking suspicion you are leaving out the consumption of copious amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol

They’re getting more violent because they’re getting more views when they get violent.

The only Apple product I’ve owned was my first smartphone an iPhone 4, Never again.

Me too, although the Chinese government itself will still use this technology extensively

Tesla use to have radar I believe, musk over ruled teslas using Lidar and insisted on vision only. Lidar powered autonomous vehicles like Waymo are already cruising the streets unsupervised beating tesla.

Always has been

All your reasons were valid though. Teslas were the best electric cars for a long time, probably not so anymore. Tesla as a brand has done good things, like you say opening up their charging standard which is superior to all the other competitors.

Personally, I wouldn’t get a Tesla because they are sort of like the apple of car companies, e.g. anti-consumer and anti-repair. Plus, Musk owning it is another big negative.

That’s true and I even thought about trying to investigate one of their satellites bandwidth capabilities versus one starlink satellite before I commented. But ultimately it doesn’t really matter because we’re talking about them being a rival to starlink so In the context of this conversation, they need to match their capacity and capabilities in all aspects to be a worthy rival.

Aptera, what I’m waiting for. They claim they will have all parts available online for easy repairs, and IMO it’s just a really cool car concept.
