No it is not. The Mozilla foundation has pissed away tens of millions of dollars on "features" nobody asked for and which have since been removed, like Pocket which cost US$20M alone. What's hard is to keep the CEO's multi million dollar salary funded while also enabling them to waste money on things no one wants, which in turn is only done to justify their salary by looking busy.

This is like claiming it's hard to keep Wikipedia funded. Again, no it is not, because they have somehow spent millions of dollars producing multimedia bullshit that hobbyists could have done for free if there was any demand. Simply don't do that and funding is no problem.

The problem as ever isn't the thing, it's the people managing the thing and claiming that their malicious interference is necessary. It's only necessary for their yacht-buying capabilities.

Like the person who responded to my comment earlier in this thread, I just switched inputs when it asked for my network credentials and I was off to the races. He didn't say he tried that. If a person doesn't tell me exactly what they pushed and when, I don't assume. I've done too much tech support and similar.

EVs require less service especially since they don't have an engine, dealers make their money selling service and parts, and engine problems are the source of the biggest and most expensive service jobs.

They'd be perfect if you could get a tradesman model with the big battery, but you can only get the upper trim levels with it, so you're paying extra for upholstery you're going to fuck up when you get in the truck with concrete on your pants or what have you. Maybe they're ideal for someone who only does cabinetry and trim, though.

Pickups are bought by two kinds of people: those who will tow, and those who think they will. For the first group, range anxiety is real. For the second, they will only imagine it will affect them, but it would if they actually tried to tow.

To be clear there are lots of little trailers out there that don't affect range much, but there are also lots of TTs which absolutely do.

Crypto is about crime and JP Morgan Chase is about money laundering for human traffickers.

How has Tesla proven that with their non-autonomous driving system (It's not even level 4, let alone 5) that mistakes the side of a semi trailer for the sky and drives under it?

Hell, it may have actually been done to force it, in order to bolster America's espionage programs both at home and abroad.

Ford is a real mixed bag, I'm not a superfan by any means, or even a fan frankly. I've bought two Ford pickups and regretted them both. But I also got frankly some of the worst examples, one of them was supposed to have been worked on and it turned out it was rebuilt incorrectly and the other was a 7.3 IDI with a turbo and I didn't know about their weak blocks at the time. But I also had a V6 Aero Bird which was a shockingly good car, and have only respect for the 80s F150 with the 300ci straight six even though I'd rather have a '60s Chevy with a 292.

The F150 Lightning also isn't a good enough truck for what they charged for it. Ford was banking on a larger supply of suckers. I'd love to own one, but I'm sure not shopping in that market segment. Ford also didn't plan to ever offer the Lightning I wanted, a tradesman model with the big battery.

Make a specific objection or fuck off with your vagueposting.

Spoken like a true worshiper of prosperity theology.

I smell a maggot who doesn't want to be reminded that Cheeto Benito pardoned drug traffickers.

The cybertruck is pure shit. It is the least reliable Tesla by a wide margin, and Tesla was recently named the least reliable vehicle in America.

The lightning might be a vehicle without a business case, but it's a major revision from the normal f-series, down to having independent rear suspension. The f150 is also the most popular vehicle on the planet. While Ford has had some massive failures in it like the 3 valve 5.4, you're still barking up the wrong tree here

I bought a 43 inch smart tv from LG to be my monitor. I'm using it right now. Never connected to the network.

It takes a lot of effort to coordinate bringing in cocaine in USFS planes, turning it into crack, and putting it on the street. They were busy.
