What you said was dumb because what we need is to reduce emissions further than our weak targets. Also automakers do NOT have any trouble meeting the targets. They could have met those targets years ago, but they would have had to make less exciting vehicles. You're putting your excitement over sustainability. This explains why you support a child molester's tampering with the future.

You cannot make a market freer by removing all regulations. That's a total misunderstanding of how markets work.

"R&D is a sunk cost, especially if it was subsidized. Nobody's going to try to recoup it"

Wat

(etc.)

That's all true if your goal is to serve customers, as opposed to spying on them.

It's happening now. There are serious effects now. And there is mostly a lot of thumb-sitting going on.

Yes, for profit.

AI is chewing through NATURAL RESOURCES faster.

We don't have to pretend, we can see it happening right now. Or rather, not happening.

Nonsense.

Why would I care? I don't speak a language for which call quality matters.

Paying three times as much or more for someone else to keep records for you is dumb. My phone keeps records for me.

Using the word "even" here implies that we would expect Microsoft to be competent, but no one with experience with Microsoft expects that.

Because it was a leasing car, and after 5 years, the leasing contract ran out and could not be extended. Colleagues of mine with more road trips put more than 125K miles on their cars before their contracts run out. And the local mechanic who was doing the oil change (five times during my run) was not laughing at all, because it was his everyday work. In fact, I went to the mechanic whenever the car engine light came up and demanded the oil change. Only one time, when I came in after 17K miles, he was a little wary because I was postponing the oil change for too long for his taste.

In most of the world, 10K oil changes are the norm. My last car had 15K oil change intervals, and got 60 mpg. Never had an engine problem. As this was a company car, I had to return it after 90K miles. Engine was an Volkswagen 1.6 liter TDI with 110 HP. Current car is owned by my wife, similar sized engine with similar range from Stellantis (1.6 liter HDI), 10K oil change interval, currently at 100K miles. Never had an engine problem.

I don't know what the U.S. car's problem is with those short oil change intervals. Low quality oil maybe?

You win teh funny. They really have fucked Notepad up bad.

"Risk, is not the topic that will earn you a smile from a grieving mother of a perfectly healthy child who's now dead."

Coddling idiots only drags the rest of us down to their level.

It's not about IOS' market share as such. But if I as an Android user have the government surveillance app, but my somewhat richer neighbor with his iPhone does not, that begins to look very much like a wealth privilege. And in a country with many poor people, this does not bode well for the government.

Name one.

I really don't want this "feature". What I want is for existing features to work correctly.

For example, automated subtitling. For some reason the subtitles sometimes just stop coming for a while, then you get half a minute's subtitles all at once so you have to pause to read them. I've been watching foreign content lately and I depend on this functionality to understand what's happening, and it often just doesn't work right.

If Google could just pull their head out of their ass long enough to make their service work correctly and wouldn't bundle shit I don't want with it and overcharge, I would pay for a subscription to Youtube. But I absolutely will not give them money while they are proving that they don't give a single solitary fuck about their software actually working.

Companies with smart leadership will put just enough effort into AI bullshit to have something to sell to idiots, but won't bet the farm on it.
