Replacement electronics aren't really that hard to find. Even modern recent cars have aftermarket parts that can be used.

You don't see any 10 year old cars rebuilt because they are barely out of warranty and are still running fine. The technology is vastly superior in that respect to what it was in the decades you mention.

Between my wife and I we've owned 4 cars from new to at least 20 years old, and a fifth that we sold around 15 years old cause newborn babies and 2 seat convertibles don't really mix, but beyond the water pump it was all original.

You're argument that your new car can't be serviced is bunk, you haven't needed to and if you did, the dealer probably paid for it.

Replaced the ECU in a 1996 Jeep just a few years ago. No there aren't any third party replacement infotainment computers for tesla yet ... because tesla is still fully making them.

The thing is, at least with non-competes it was clear what your obligation was. The new front in the war on employee rights is around 'trade secrets'. It used to be that the line for this was anything you could not memorise - so you can't take copies of code, or lists of customers, but anything you can remember (e.g. a way you solved a coding problem, or names of customers you could remember) was fair game. But there has been an erosion of this and a move towards companies 'owning' knowledge in your head.

The problem with this is that it turns everything into a grey issue where you have to spend huge amounts on lawyers if you end up challenged. I imagine there will be a renewed push to challenging the boundaries of trade secret definitions as a result of this change.

I need to get my bank to include some Ts and Cs of my own on each automatic payment.

Maybe "by accepting this payment you agree not to be a douche..."

There are a lot of good things about the Vision Pro, but in reality the price puts it in the realm of early adopters and businesses with a specific need.

Despite the issues, Apple got some real feedback, in a way lab testing would not have revealed. I am feeling hopeful that theyâ(TM)ll take what they learnt and make something even better. I say this based on experiences like the iPod, the iPad and the iPhone, which while not immediate successes did far better than the alternatives.

Where do you think Hydrogen comes from? It isn't water that's for sure.
There is currently 1 large scale electrolysis plants in service, Takasago Hydrogen Park. We get less then 0.1% of the world's hydrogen from electrolysis.

Maybe a bad choice of words, but invariably the car's propulsion is electric. Whether a traditional battery or a fuel cell, it is form of energy storage for what is otherwise an electric car.

This is the truth. Unless you are shareholder or part of the executive, you are there to perform a job requested of you. Also, unless you are working for a cooperative, a business is typically a dictatorship by default. If you don't like it, then get out (there are other jobs out there), or put up.

Hydrogen, at this time, is hardly green.

Hydrogen generators are not cheap, and in-fact there are no industrial electrolysis plants in the US, all of our hydrogen is created from fossil fuels.

All commercial hydrogen is extracted from fossil fuels, Everyone had the idea that hydrogen would be cheap and green, but industrial scale electrolysis is only now being realized, it accounts for about 0.1% of all hydrogen produced.

Makes me think how Tesla went out and built their own charging network, along with integrating the charge locations into the navigation system.

At the same time, H2 is really just another type of battery, so as battery technology gets better I’d suspect H2 would become less interesting. We should also remember H2, is likely produced either from oil & gas or from electricity, so we need to add a conversion loss to the equation.
