If an EV is plugged into a 120V outlet for an entire 30 day month, that's still only about 1,008 kWhrs. It's dwarfed by the cost of rent, and even then that's only if an EV is always plugged in and consuming the maximum safe wattage--never idling, and everyone hot-plugging without interruption.

Considering that we still have to survive in this environment, no.

What democratization are you referring to? Every platform where an AI can generate an application for you already has tools you can use for free to do that.

A certain rival sure was. Do they still get subsidies for building out their private network since their connector is now a standard?

GitHub Copilot GA'd as a paid service over 3 years ago.

How is shuttering the CFPB in our interests? Seems like exactly what you'd do to hide money movement and keep the wealthy in power beyond the limits of a functioning democracy. Explain it for us.

Maybe he is a shrewd businessman and negotiator, but he's definitely an asshole with a list of character and criminal defects who has no problem commiserating with white supremacists, Christian nationalists, and sexual predators, as long as they claim to be loyal to him. He's already backtracking on campaign promises like lowering grocery prices, lying about getting Mexico to "close its border", consistently backs fossil fuels even though they keep getting more expensive while renewables keep getting cheaper, and somehow still doesn't understand how tariffs work. I don't know how you missed all of this, but your brother didn't.

They don't pay people enough to punch back. They certainly don't want the liabilities and potential criminal charges that would result if they did.

This isn't predatory at all.

Are you in the U.S.? Having 20 ISPs to choose from would be atypical, if so.

That ship has sailed, for a myriad of existing implanted devices.
