Tuvalu make around $10 million a year- about one-sixth of their gdp- from licensing .tv.

Let’s just say, the telcos didn’t like being away from each other.

Let us also not forget the Ma Bell breakup and what happened thereafter.

Apparently “rare” or “limited-release” vehicles don’t get tested. Which means the Cybertruck will probably never get tested 😂

Cody Johnston did a vid about the Cybertruck on his most recent episode of Some More News. He starts talking about the crash test Tesla did (with video) around the 8:45 mark.

If Geico, and presumably soon others, are angering the chuds by refusing to insure this, independent crash tests definitely occurred and they were not favorable.

When I said no independent crash tests had been performed, I was specifically referring to the IIHS since they’re the only ones who opinion really matters and they’ve stated they have not tested any Cybertruck. But yes, regardless of whether Tesla’s internal crash tests were performed by their staff or some other testing lab, the fact that they’re sitting on the results clearly indicates that they know just how poorly the crumplezone-less sharp-edged quality-uncontrolled ketaminemobiles fare.

To be clear, I don’t know if that’s why GEICO is cancelling policies on Cybertrucks, but I’d bet heavily it’s a contributing factor. It could be that they decided the risk was worth it, until the trucks actually started coming out and the sheer number of recalls due to shitty manufacturing was just too much.

Also, there have been no independent crash tests done so no insurance company can accurately assess the risk, so this is wholly unsurprising.

Tesla have allegedly done their own crash tests, but they still have not released the data. It’s kinda what you’d expect when a government-regulation-hating techbro designs a “I got mine fuck you” vehicle.

That’s because the OG visionaries of tech are gone, and have been replaced by MBAs and techbros.

I’m not sure if Firefox pulls passwords when you import your data, but you can manually export passwords from Chrome and import them into Firefox.

We need to add a fourth E:

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, Enshittify.

I was under the impression that anything under like 10nm was just marketing and doesn’t actually refer to transistor density in any meaningful way?

Given that SCOTUS is focused on destroying the government one agency at a time, you’re likely to see them rule that the FTC is unconstitutional because it didn’t exist in the 1600s or some other equally-bullshit excuse.

¡Este comentario es una puta mierda!

Every engineer working on the project simultaneously groans in despair. The resulting low frequency wave shakes the foundations of Sagrada Família, setting the construction back another generation.

Are we sure the Sagrada Familia isn’t a source of perpetual energy?

What, never heard of powerline networking? 😂

So risk someone else beating you to market? And they’ll either have the resources to make it superior, therefore making yours irrelevant, or they’ll make it inferior, which generates bad press for you?

On the other hand, if they ever admit the whole genAI thing doesn’t work, they could just sell the electricity produced by the plant.

And it runs in windows too!

“Yes, but what alternative is there?”

“Success!”
