There's probably dozens more.
Most notably, Warren Buffett said he never saw Bitcoin as a proper investment vehicle.
They are still raping everyone's privacy.
So true, it's like Stewie discovering the truth behind his favorite show.
Elysia Berman accumulated over $50,000 in debt across four credit cards and four buy-now-pay-later services during the pandemic, purchasing items she never wore because influencers recommended them.
If the influencers jump over a bridge, will she also?
If AI is so unusable because all it does is hallucinate, as I've learned from slashdot, why is the NY Times concerned?
Because the idiot AI is attributing the hallucinations to NYT, damaging its reputation (regardless of what you think of it - they have a point).
What happens when all car manufacturers are displaying ads?
Consumers stop buying their products.
I'm serious. I don't fucking pay for ads. Ever.
I've cancelled my AppleTV+ service a while back because they kept pre-rolling "previews" or "teasers" (or whatever the fuck they want to pass it off as) for their other shows, which I consider as ads since I didn't care or ask about those other shows, whenever I was trying to watch an episode of another show I was interested in.
A co-worker of mine owned a Subaru Outback - he was kind of a hippy with long hair.
an individual consumer is pretty much powerless to effect change in a large corporation.
One thing that I think might actually get their attention is the user complaints posted on the NHTSA site. It's now part of the public record and they can't deny in the future that it was an issue for consumers.
I tried it once many years ago. I could never get past how bad the music all sounded due to the excessive amount of data compression.
Voice-heavy channels sounded like 16Kbps streams to me, and the music ones were basically AM quality; there were a few that sounded decent, but I think those were only available in higher-priced tier.
p>Also, I do -NOT- want my car's HVAC to be touchscreened. Good 'ol dials for me, yes SIR, none of that new fangled stuff.
Agreed on that - when I got my unit, I wanted it to be all slick and modern, so went with a touch-only flat screen, no buttons or volume knob for functions. I regretted it a bit as it wasn't as easy to use (like doing volume up/down).
In hindsight I would've gotten the unit with the 4-5 physical side buttons + volume knob.
It is not cheap but I derive an enormous amount of pleasure from SiriusXM.
You're quite literally the only happy Sirius subscriber I've ever heard of.
You bought an old car with 243k miles and you're calling it a "lemon (with no rust)"? What did you expect?
The only thing that typically really kills a car is rust - anything else, if well maintained, will either last longer than the body/frame, or can simply be replaced/repaired.
My car has climate integrated with the head unit, though, so this can't be cheaply done -
Although my car at the time only had manual controls for climate, I do remember the unit having various settings for controlling settings like climate, etc. for various manufactures - just had to configure it for your vehicle. I believed it all used the CAMBUS (or whatever name it is) for those functions.
Unsure how newer vehicles integrate their functionality across the whole vehicle.
Do they show up when using other apps, not even when touching SiriusXM (this seems like true, but wanted to make sure)?
One user said the ad covered the entire screen while using CarPlay (and preventing its use), until they manually dismissed the ad (using what I'm sure is a minuscule, hard to reach faint "X" at some non conventional location), so the answer seems like "Yes".
I wonder if one can still do this with all the technology integration.
I've done a cursory look a while back and it seems like there's some level of integration still possible of these third-party units for newer vehicles that come with their own integrated infotainment systems, but wouldn't be surprised if there was some loss of functionality (and for sure the car manufacturer would refuse any warranty due to custom install/replacement of such).
They're very aggressive with their marketing and clearly have some agreements with car manufacturers.
That's bad news for new car buyers.
I remember after buying my last new car, Sirius started calling me to subscribe well before the new vehicle trial period was over. Thank goodness for call number blocking/dropping (they were calling several times a day!).
There are no games on this system.
