I'd rather my money go to another American then a pack of genocidal slavers
Nothing is more American that slaving and genocide.
Slavery is legal in this country and we're funding a genocide right now.
You are truly the dumbest of fucks.
Sure, clean the air inside your office space. Then walk out to your car.
Uhuh, that air is not getting measurably cleaner.
The air outside is already measurably cleaner, when we're talking about viruses. There's UV out there much of the time.
Virus filtration worldwide? Please, solve faster -than-light travel first, k?
Don't smoke crack while watching scifi. It makes you say stupid shit.
Has anyone actually taken a look at the reason we called it the land yacht era? Perhaps we stop pretending like the 1970s
Found the guy who hasn't actually compared 1970s vehicles to 2020s vehicles. They had lower hoods in both trucks and most cars (as most cars are now crossovers) and also had superior visibility in every other direction as well.
I've never had a car that didn't.
Around 6% of the cars I've owned have had seat height adjustment.
C'mon, people. Cars have seat adjusters. If you're short, in a big car, and can't see past the hood - raise your seat.
Most seats do not have a height adjustment.
No infotainment at all seems like an overcorrection. [...] CarPlay and Android auto
I'd rather have an empty double DIN, then I can put whatever I want in it, including a big screen that sticks out from it.
Agreed about the HVAC. That should always have physical controls.
These are not actually going to be much more customizable than other vehicles. The sole exception is in the infotainment department, where virtually all modern vehicles have some big overwrought thing that you probably don't want because it sucks, or it will in the future — which will affect you if you're the kind of person who keeps a vehicle. But if you are, the auto industry hates you.
A vehicle being "designed" to be customized is really entirely irrelevant because all of the same work has to be done in order to do that customization. There are "upfitter guides" for all of the vehicles you'd commonly expect to customize, especially vans and pickups, which help with that. I've used these to aid in doing solar installs in RV conversions. That is, any pickup you'd buy is already designed to be customized.
In order for there to be a significant aftermarket for parts for a vehicle, those vehicles have to be numerous. Then companies find it worthwhile to make seat install kits and such. Such things aren't generally complicated, so the modularity is really very overblown overall.
I do think the Slate concept has legs, but it's in the low price and ease of repair areas, and not at all in the customization department, which simply doesn't matter.
Was it one of the Mazda-based models? They were built by Ford, but not with Ford technology.
Ford honestly has had the occasional hit, but also oh so many lemons.
Theft of Services is a specifically-defined crime in some jurisdictions.
Then you're depriving someone of operating costs and/or time, depending on the specific business model. Just making a copy of something without their involvement doesn't do that, period. It might still arguably be wrong, but it's definitely not theft.
I wonder why they keep doing business.
All of the Pi engineers are former bcm employees, last I heard some of the pi people were even current employees. There seems to be some motion away from bcm though.
Who knows what kind of bullshit they will bake into the game, but if GTA V is any indication (who knows?) then you will still be able to play the single player game from e.g. a Steam backup* years from now.
* Never use Steam backups. They usually don't fucking work. Just back up the various directories.
you insist on only using the "legal" definition of "stealing" in the context of piracy which requires depriving someone else of the item, and not the colloquial usage of stealing that means nothing more than illicitly obtaining a paid product or service without paying for it
That's not only a legal distinction, it's also a real one. If you're not depriving someone of something, you're simply not stealing. Anyone who thinks differently about that is just confused, and what's more, they were deliberately confused for the benefit of the copyright cartel. Thanks for letting us all know how confused you are.
If you are expecting to play Grand Theft Auto VI as a physical game...
You can play Grand Theft Auto Wherever at any time. Just go outside. Unfortunately, you can only play in so-called "roguelike" permadeath survival mode. (Funny, I don't look like an @...)
The first game I encountered that effectively did this was Half-Life 2.
You could install Steam from the disc, but then Steam insisted on being updated.
You could install the game from the disc, but then it insisted on being updated. The update was, you guessed it, a full download.
So really the disc was just a waste of space and money, it might as well have just had a code.
Fuck, the only thing I want less than truck that will make Jeff Bezos money is a Ford. Never another Ford. Never.
