Tesla and SpaceX would not exist OR prosper, without Musk. If you want to understand why, read the Walter Isaacson biography of Musk (which is based on accounts by his friends, enemies and employees). He's a hard-arsed manager, he is t

I'm sure there were people that claimed Nikola Tesla or Henry Ford weren't "advancing humanity" at the time. There will always be people who disagree with the politics/opinions/alleigances of a successful perso

Irritating when people try to draw our attention to otherwise banal things by exploiting the shock value of swearing. People that swear liberally in everyday conversation irritate me intensely.

I want Apple to have competition, but I also don't want Apple to lose its unique advantages, which mostly come through the tight vertical integration between hardware and software. If I don't want tight vertical integration, I cou

Android competes very healthily with Apple in the EU! Android is at nearly 70% OS market share: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/europe/ [I say this as a keen iOS user]

I'd like to see Apple hold back more of its technology from EU users, in order that we can finally get some political pressure on the EU and their innovation-stifling over-regulation. We're already likely to see hold-back with App

On my pension provider's website I get the cookie consent warning every time I visit (whether I decline or accept). Even more annoyingly, this happens in the iOS app of the provider (which has a webview). EU regulations like this are s

The claim about the kid who died in 2013 was a poor choice of retweet on Twitter. Anyone who's used Twitter would understand that at 2am after a few beers it's easy to retweet something silly. That single act shouldn't destro

If you want to chastise those who elected against having mRNA injections, you'd better be sure you have the correct information on how the mRNA jabs prevented transmission (or not). You may find the following interesting: https:/

I didn't want the mRNA jab (and didn't get it), but I WOULD definitely take this intranasal vaccine as its a classic (live attenuated) vaccine. That class of vaccine technology is not flawless, but it has decades of successful dep

Tesla's navigation is based on Google Maps. It's very good. It -does- work offline, and it's trivially easy to use. The voice instructions are clear, the large screen and context-sensitive portion in the binnacle are great. I

Tap climate, tap demist. It's really not that hard. If you frequently need to demist, simple drag the demist option onto the app bar, then it's a single click. The notion that every function needs to be accessible with a single c

Exactly. And cars are essential for many journeys, and for normal family life in many out-of-town regions. Yet so many people on forums like this live in metropolitan bubbles and have no idea why cars might be necessary. There’s a lot of id

This kind of tactical suppression of news happened a lot in the run-up to the UK's Brexit referendum. The EU is a very polarising institution. Unfortunately, loyal supporters of the EU will do anything to protect it from criticism. Whi

People often buy new iPhones despite the exterior design barely changing since 2017. When it comes to phones, buyers are smart enough to realise that it's what's inside that counts - the processor, screen tech, cameras etc. They u

Yes, I totally agree. Likewise the covers that sit in the middle of the wheels are known for corroding over time and have to be replaced. Luckily the costs and effort are minimal, but it's still annoying, given the problems shouldn&#x2
