So you disable all the tracking and that's cool and all but a lot of businesses use that tracking to decide whether or not you're committing fraud or not.

So you use Firefox and they can't track you but then they won't let you make purchases on their website...

As a regular user then you go to Chrome because you find it if you use Firefox you can't buy stuff but if you use Chrome you can.

It's a problem that Firefox is seemingly unaware of and probably needs to find a solution for. Basically we need to find a middle ground of some kind.

I guess you could say the companies shouldn't do that because they shouldn't be tracking users but it's often the only effective way to catch fraud.

It may be *possible* to squint really hard and make up bullshit good-faith justifications for policies that mean one can avoid naming the obvious bad-faith actual justification for said policies. But it is not *advisable*. It makes you look like either a credulous buffoon, or someone who thinks other people on here are all credulous buffoons.

It’s not like Trump and his administration have *hidden* their desire to support ICE vehicles and damage EV vehicles, is it? There was some sort of weird hiatus in Trump’s own rhetoric when he was sucking up [sic and also sick] to Musk for a few months, but since then he’s been back to saying what he said beforehand, that he thinks EVs are shit and should be discouraged. And the rest of his admin never indulged in the hiatus.

Hear hooves, expect horses, not zebras.

Yeah but win amp was the first to whip the llamas ass, really.

Yeah but it didn't whip a lamas arse so no one remembers it.

The reason it was cancelled is irrelevant. The point is a sanctioned project under construction was halted by a different government. That is a demonstration of investment instability and risk.

The USA is now considered a far higher risk for investment than it has ever been in the past, it doesn't matter who is in charge of it now or in in 2029. It'll take a demonstration of stability to reduce that risk, and that will take multiple election cycles to happen. Trump has done some serious lasting damage.

No sarcasm isn't lost. Communication skills are. There's no reason for anyone to think your post was sarcastic. Not in 2025 where there's so much stupid shit posted on the internet. Sarcasm isn't dead, it's just statistically not likely to be so when it isn't obviously marked as such.

By the way I'm Gen X. So you can't even communicate with your own generation properly, let alone "kids these days" (yeah I shake my stick too just thinking that phrase).

Also a Gen X person popularised the emoji (which was invented by a boomer). Presumably he got sick of people not being able to understand his sarcastic posts on the internet, maybe look that up ;-)

And now you realise why communication is a skill that is dying. There's no reason not to take it seriously other than the belief that we don't have religious nutjobs on this site (we do, no I don't keep track of their UIDs). You want to be sarcastic make it obvious, we invited emojis 45 years ago for this very reason. ;-)

And there's also stupidity. It's 2025, I have stopped attributing sarcasm to anything I read online that isn't obvious so because of the sheer number of stupid people on the internet (including on Slashdot). We have a fuckton of religious nutjobs on this site.

Also the internet loses some 90% of communication cues thanks to it being solely text. It's one of the reasons fucking emojis were invented. If I don't see a wink emoji or a /s, I will default to the post being stupid rather than sarcastic. Statistically I will be correct far more of the time.

Errr no they were not. Maybe they are now, but LLMs were largely pulling numbers out of their training data, not deferring to some non LLM algorithm to answer the question. It's one of the reasons they suck at math so bad and can't count the number of 'r's in raspberry.

JS pseudo random number generation isn't remotely as bad as what LLMs spit out.

Oh so Slashdot should change the text in the articles so you don't think it is on the take? If you wanted to talk about the article (on an Apple only reporting site) then talk about the article. You're the one who claimed "Apple have Slashdot in their advertising pocket"

Now that I realise what you're taking about your post looks even dumber than it did before.

I know there's a typo in the title, but it's not in the word "new". Please re-read what this article was saying and then post statistics relevant to the article rather than the completely different thing you are talking about.

You may want to note that this Youtube's guy primary complaint was about the poor customer service, that seems to be quite regional, and that he very much still is a fan of his Ioniq 5 with the strongest comment being that until this is fixed it is "a bit harder to recommend [the car]. Still consider it."

This got a lot of bad press this year so I suspect if the OP's next car will come sometime next year it's likely not going to be a problem anymore. But ... they have been working on this issue a while already so there is that.

The world doesn't care about American stupidity, and no even if no EVs were sold in the USA after September 30th, global EV sales for 2025 were sill ahead of 2024.

Tesla has been announcing and promising a cheaper version of their car since the Model S first took pre-orders. Literally. They have yet to deliver a car that meets their promised budget goal for the last 15 years. Your claim makes zero sense. Also this is a company that amid the Cybertruck sales slump, and the inability to sell Cybertrucks decided the best option was to include mandatory features in several Wankpanzer trims increasing their cost, so even without Tesla's promises they have shown to do the exact opposite of what you claim for the exact reason you claim it.

What do you mean by a four hour turnaround? I’m really confused.

My EV has a 330 mile range and my charging is either done at home (plug in at night, unplug in morning) or at my destination (typically a hotel, and once again plug in at night, unplug in the morning). If I really have to do a fast charge on a longer trip, I can go 10 to 80% in about 40 minutes, so I’ll time a charge for when I’m hungry. But I’ve only done that a couple of times in the last two years.

So it might well be that my current EV meets your nominal needs. Unless you mean something else by turnaround.

Oh is that the "buht the tire particulates" moron? Or the one repeating early 2010s era coal power plant emissions bullshit? Or the "but lithium mining causes huge CO2 emissions" bullshit?
