I put a deposit on the Roadster 2 a long while back, no word on queue or timeline, no communication at all. But If they let me buy this I will be really fucking happy. My daily is a Model X Plaid and that thing is an absolute joy. I'm so glad they are still making toys. I really thought they might be all semi trucks and model 3s going forward.

My Tesla has Matrix headlights and honestly these should be standard for every road worthy vehicle. They literally dont shine where other cars are.

POTUS: Why did you launch our Thermonuclear Warheads at China and Russia? ChatGPT: You are right to push back, and my previous action was obviously not what you intended. I will no longer launch Thermonuclear Warheads at China or Russia without your confirmation.

It's so interesting to me how people who frequent a site like Slashdot have no imagination. I can decrypt your phone? I can build a motive. I can build a story. What's worse, is I can plant evidence. You were here and there, you google'd for this, read an article about that. Just so happened to be close to this, and that. Suddenly you are arrested and you have no idea why.

You're in jail. You did nothing wrong, except to advocate to give whatever power to the state the state wants. Good luck with your lack of privacy. If there is exculpatory evidence too, better hope the cop wants actual justice and not just another point on his win / loss record, because there are those too...

Honestly, I am shocked the president, along with his foreign counterparts hasnt used the DPA to limit the NAND and DRAM chips available to AI companies to stabilize the market for consumer electronics until such a time as the market can expand. But then again, this is for the billionaire class, so anything goes.

I think they learned not to respond that way 250 years ago.

These are all half measures. The FCC should just pass a rule that every call must carry its 10 digit account id as the phone number. End. Of. Story. Even international calls should have to carry their customer's account number, or if it is a business, one of THAT BUSINESSES' phone numbers. That way, you can "Know your caller". If they land a call that doesn't have the right info, the originating carrier should be fined, then have a timeout on placing calls, and let them explain it to their carriers.

The $100k is going to be a cash grab for government, business will make it transferable. Remember, government isnt try to stop an activity, just maximize its own take for it to just barely make sense.

Yeah, thats exactly how it works.

Oh for fucks sake just turn on FSD Supervised then change the tune.

The federal government gives moneys to local police to install them.

If they pay for it they can do whatever they want with it. If they buy the Mona Lisa and decide destroying it is what they want to do that is their decision. No one else cares enough to get the book first or outbid them for it.

They wont vote for or against Flock. Thats not how it works. Flock will be in an NDAA or Omnibus bill. It will be "We have to pay our veterans", or "This bill will keep the government funded". Then every one of these assholes who want cover will say "We dont like the Flock stuff in the bill, but we have to pass it for reasons". No one gets blamed, and Americans hate "other congressmen, not my guy".

Flock is something each and every one of them will believe is good for the country because "terrorists" or "anti-semites". In reality, it's just so when they decide they dont like what you say, they will find a reason to come get you. America is dead, long live America.

Install Ubuntu, it has a GUI package manager and work very well, if you buy a system that is designed to run it. I gave my nephew one and he uses codex now to make apps in Linux. It teaches him what to do. Kids have enormously plastic minds and can learn a new system very quickly. Just ask anyone who ever went from an Xbox to a play station or even from one gaming hud to another. They will be fine

From what I understand the first sale doctrine invalidates such licensing terms, but I could be wrong. I am not full read up on the material or if contracts have figure out a way to bypass that.
