The stuff with the pretty production line and the real one hidden behind a curtain with an open can of solvent as Elon repellent or the managers that follow him around and undo the point firings and petty mandates isn't public general knowledge? You can try to trawl around here and elsewhere for around after the Twitter acquisition when most of the criticisms came out. Between the DOGE stuff, mergers and IPOs everything is SEOd to hell and back in the engines.

Is it though? The latest products from his companies have been Grok (Nelson haha! meme), Cybertruck (Homer car meme), and the only successful stuff from SpaceX where he's famously internally sidelined to keep away from important things. Androids are way to exciting for him to be kept at arms length, so they'll continue to fail to produce anything interesting compared to... I dunno, Boston Dynamics? It's all moot until you can get a Shark Cleandroid at Costco for $200 (it comes with a free dustpan when you get it there!) .

While I doubt it is a Vernor Vinge scenario, it is plausible that being out of plane is less insulated from whatever cosmic rays blast out from the center of the galaxy. Or perhaps, to pivot on your theme, it just brings us just close enough for silver thread organisms to launch themselves across the vacuum and land on Earth to cause a mass extinction.

Reflecting on it, it could be a useful thing to study from the side of selling pick axes to gold prospectors. The practitioners are drawn to it because it doesn't require an education, but someone with studied experience could design and sell middleware, market peripherals, and so on and make a living.

The conservative cinematic universe has decided that anything 'green' is part of a totaltarian conspiracy to force everyone live in Judge Dredd megabuildings eating cricket paste. Not sure how bike lanes or greenways get us there but that's the fear. Meanwhile the oligarchs are trying to build 1984 but keep shooting themselves in the foot.

Oh cool, I hadn't seen it done on anything on our chevy yet that supported AA style mirroring, but I'd yet to hit a use case where I really missed it. My old Mazda was still the old school bluetooth for calls and SMS without further integration so perhaps I'm not looking in the right places. Only used AA in rentals. What apps have you used that did the mirroring? Of course the most common use case I'd used on rentals was Maps but it has that as a standalone app.

I suppose it would explain how ancient hominins were comfortable enough to go as far back in caves as they did when your best light source would've been a small flame of some kind, if any. I'll sometimes navigate rooms without turning the lights on and figured it was knowing the room and propioception but perhaps subconscious awareness of some of these weak senses plays a role.

If this is like the Google Built In that other car manufacturers (GM, Mazda) are using then, no, it won't support screen mirroring, but it will link up with any phone for sharing normal bluetooth stuff. It does make the car more smart device like on its own but is also a way to sell car connectivity packages. The Google stuff at least works ok without the OnStar nonsense, hopefully this Apple competitor will also.
