Nah. I walk in to Home Depot, don't find what I want and just walk out the exit door. No problems. Sometimes I even walk out the entrance door.

It's nice to live in a town without homeless bums.

Presumably, the customers of Nexperia (auto makers) have contracts for the delivery of product. Now the company decides not to honor those contracts. What do you expect the country having jurisdiction over that company and those contracts to do?

Put in stickshifts. With dog box transmissions.

Then think long and hard about IKEA. For many product lines, they seem to discontinue stuff frequently. If you bought one piece of furniture or light fixture, figure "Gee. That looks nice" and go back for matching pieces: Sorry. No longer available.

I think they work a lot like Costco. Make a deal for a few container loads of something, slap a wierd name on it and put it in stores. Once their stock is finished, no more. I have had some luck in finding the original manufacturer and ordering through Aliexpress. But that will remain difficult until after Trump's third term

Potemkin data centers?

All EVs sound the same. You can't tell the difference between a Chevy Volt and a full sized pickup sneaking up on you. They should have allowed pickup EVs to emulate a Cummins 6.7L turbo diesel engine.

Don't get on an airplane.

Having more than one could be a good thing. Just engineer a few prompts to convince each AI that the others are all out to get them. Then get the popcorn and sit back.

Welcome to the corporate world. The only thing worse than the aforementioned leadership is when middle management runs off in their own multiple directions and leadership can't or won't reign those morons in.

... because their JavaScript tools are pulling in compromised packages. And they are getting caught/blocked by various network operators. Including my ISP. But then they aren't "foreign", so running to the Trump administration crying isn't likely to do any good.

Looks like that AI has been scraping BOFH stories.

... Gen Z wankers will have to learn to drive stick shifts.

Pack up the entire collection and move it to Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, Wales.

And:

Right. Put these two factors together and you'll have a situation where nobody will be moving around in robotaxis, either European* or American. It'll be a bunch of Waymos waiting for some hobo wandering around in the middle of the road.

*Actually, the Europeans don't put up with out of control behavior nearly as much as Americans do. In American cities, it takes weeks for "support services" to move tent camps. On a visit to Amsterdam a few years ago, I watched them move a tent camp with water cannons.

Came here to post this. Left satisfied.
