Just grab em by the dongle

Trump, Job Creator 🤷‍♂️

I think that was their sales pitch to the military

But instead of shipping in the slaves, using the existing stock

A tired tactic, but one they fully embrace

I just imagine he has a giant carnival wheel that’s marked with all sorts of reprehensible things to do and he just spins it whenever he’s bored and proceeds to executive order whatever he lands on

Sorry for the country destruction, that was my bad

Whoa 😶

It’s weird–Tesla at least projected some sort of ‘higher-end’ quality back when they first started coming around but as time has gone on it’s proven itself to be a very cheaply-made vehicle.

The fact they insist on using their proven-inferior tech for FSD tells you all you need to know: they aren’t looking to innovate or even bring themselves up to modern standards. They are determined to make their cars with the cheapest, shittiest tech and they’ll just grease the right palms in order to proceed as necessary.

That’s the thing–the actual purpose of the appliances hasn’t changed at all. Every “advancement” is typically proprietary tech made to help comply with energy and water/gas usage standards–or to add perceived value through some half-baked gimmicks. For instance, dishwashers use smaller pumps run for longer periods of time to perform the same amount of work a larger more powerful pump could handle (in many cases a single pump sufficed for a dishwasher–one rotational direction for wash, opposite direction for drain)… I’m totally on board with energy efficiency but the laughably cheap/shitty tech they use to those ends kinda blunt the effectiveness of the energy saving measures (since replacing parts–or more likely entire dishwashers when those pumps fail–is a less energy-saving process than having a stronger, more durable pump that draws an extra amp or 2)

As pointed out elsewhere around these comments, this looks like another classic example of enshittification. Just like everything that’s invented, it often starts out with a fairly solid design–it couldn’t succeed without that. Once the success is captured, they can start dissecting the design and figure out what parts can be made with cheaper materials (common example: replacing metal w/plastic) and/or cheaper tech. From that point it’s iterations of further cuts to material and tech until it’s the cheapest, flimsiest version that can still function well enough to outlast the warranty. I’ve been in my field long enough (appliance repair) to see generations come and go and it often runs that route. Sometimes design flaws get fixed during the process, but rarely does the product itself get better or more durable in the long run.

Yet another fucking cringe name to add to the modern corpo lexicon

• Bytedance
• Tencent
• Xpeng
• Crunchyroll

I don’t even know that much about any of these companies or their practices but i just really dislike their names. I genuinely cringe when i read those words, lol

This is exactly what i predict will happen as well

I finally understand those “Live Laugh Love” signs

It really would be an opportunity for some next-level trolling

It’s good enough to get that gov contract $$ though 🤹‍♂️

I wouldn’t even leave the US for fear of trouble trying to get back in–and I’m a citizen! Forget trying to enter this country as a non-citizen nowadays. I’ve read numerous accounts of absolutely disgusting conditions people faced when being detained attempting to enter the US. Stay the hell out until further notice-- even if you get in there’s not much here worth risking that much over.

No, this is tabloid-level politics.

Seriously though, what did you find wrong with the reporting?

Would seem almost intentional given the size and success of the company. How do you fuck something like that up so badly? Seems like one of those Embrace, Extend, Extinguish deals or similar

That’s clearly by design, too 😐 who could possibly give up all the time and money and has the amount of influence and power to get there in the first place? All the real money is centralized in the wrong hands at this point, and they will gladly gatekeep
