Except i can copy your key with a phtograph from any smart phone. Phiscial keys have dozens of easy ways to bypass them. That is why car thefts have dropped like a rock when fobs came on the scene. the fobs prevent easy theft when done correctly.

As for no one caring about correct implenmentation insurance companies care. And are charging higher rates to owners of bad cars because of it that lowers their resale, lowers their overall sales and takes 15 years to dig out of.

Brics is a decent xonept that fails to guedd what happens when there is a trade imbalance, and what happens if china has a major ressesion.

By definition that is rogue. The problem is LLM are black boxes. You put in garbage you get garbage out. But it is never yhe same garbage.

Google is going to replace people with AI, and then one day someone is going to set all the AIs to put out nazi propoganada for weeks and google wont be able to stop it

And thus google suffers

100 mw is to small however 1 w is enough to charge your phone over 8-12 hours
So very slow charge. But constant. Set your phone down and its charging, go to sleep and its charging. Basically it is always charging so it can go slow.

Wont need a fast charger if you dont have to plug it in

Thats easy. Mcdonald Douglas screwed up got bought out by Boeing who kept all the execs. Those execs set up Mcdonalds Douglas culture in Boeings Exec team. Which moved them away first from engineers to chucago and once that shopl out a few loose stragglers moved to arlington to shake the rest out.

Now Boeing looks like Mcdonald Douglas with all the same quality issues and handling.

What i havent seen yet is the next Boeing.

Usually the screen has multiple vreaks.
The overall performance has degraded as software bloat outpaces proceesor development.
The battery is shot for life
Etc.

What i do see is 15x15x5 battery charger that constanly tops up the battery from regular usage

Depends on the situation. I remember not to long ago comapnies running 120hz and trying and failing to get decent 3d tv performance.

At 480 hz you could use a 4 sets of customized 3D glasses and overlay 4 different mario cart views on the same screen each running at 120 hz. The tv without glasses would ve a jumbled mess but each player could have a unique full screen view and couldnt cheat. Keeping the glasses and monitor in sync would be a headache but possible

Cant think of many uses beyond that though

We often forgot our military costs 11 times what the closet competitor.

We often forget our health care costs are triple what the rest of the world has for a fraction of the people.

When it comes to big numbers we often forget our miltary takes up 20-30% of our annual budget and everything domestic takes up 5%

A voilent portest based on lies as told by the sitting president.

We used to hold presidents to a higher standard.

Now we dont hold them accountable for their actions.
