The actual legal remedy is impeachment + conviction by the senate. That hasn't happened yet and seems unlikely unless he actually loses the support of his own party.

Asking questions doesn't mean making policy changes or public health announcements before you have any answers. It's important to understand that some people use "healthy skepticism" and "I'm just asking questi

If the car is on (high voltage battery pack energized) then there is 12V supplied from the high voltage pack through a DC to DC converter. The 12V battery dying is only an issue if the car is parked and the high voltage battery is disconnec

People get the cause and effect of fancy EVs backwards. To build an EV you have to spend $10-$20k on the battery pack that goes into it. They're getting cheaper, but that is a gradual process. So your Toyota Camry / Honda Accord E

It can be best in the market and still not what was promised. Tesla has gained part of their stock valuation and customer base over the years by promising Level 5 FSD. As in, you can sleep while the car drives you to work, or the car can go

Back then you'd get two legs of the Correct - Fast - Cheap triangle. It just required shoveling boatloads of money at the defense contractors. Now you can give Boeing twice as much money as SpaceX and they still fail to deliver a worki

Except Tesla has been selling up-front purchases of future FSD functionality on their cars since 2016. They have paying customers that aren't getting what they were promised.

But FSD was promised to be Level 5, eventually, just as soon as Tesla can get regulatory approval. This has been the case since they started charging for the package back in 2016.

But if someone has and enjoys beachfront property, that might actually be a motivation for wanting to protect it, and thus be an activist. That relationship is not so clearly hypocritical.

From personal experience over ~6 years of EV roadtrips, the first two really aren't much of a problem with a Tesla or a vehicle that can access Tesla's network. Other chargers can definitely be a bit more hit-and-miss although the

Why would I pay $35k for a used EV when I can buy a new one for $42k with a $7500 tax credit taken off at purchase? This article doesn't seem to mention those credits, but they are likely a large factor in the difference between the no

The delivery option is more convenient and takes less time out of your day than driving to a restaurant. My suspicion is that most frequent delivery app users are ordering food more frequently and from further away than they would drive to

And if you don't pay them, the spots in front of your store are instead filled by people handing out flyers about your competitor down the street. They don't just take credit for people that were coming to your site anyway, they a

I think it's pretty clear that the whole point of the Vision Pro is that Apple wants to build AR glasses but the technology was not ready yet. I do think it makes some sense to attack the problem from both directions, but hopefully the

Of course it's by design, and it's part of their business. Saying they aren't in that business isn't accurate.

I enjoy high-dpi displays for dev and other productivity tasks. That one isn't just an annoying marketing gimmick.

Their Pro desktop/laptop hardware is the best it's ever been as long as it fits your use case (ie not adding a bunch of PCI-E cards or third party GPUs). Software is definitely more debatable.

You can't build iPhone or iPad apps on iPhones or iPads yet, so a decent chunk of that revenue currently relies on the Mac as well. Even without that, calling a $30B business an "insignificant historical afterthought" is a bi

Weird, that description doesn't apply at all to my experiences as a developer using Macs for the last few years. Personally I find a Mac to be a better development environment than Windows even for Microsoft tech like the dotnet stack.

Yeah, I think they could increase the utility of this product for the price point pretty easily by just adding a My Virtual Mac VM to it. Obviously there would be performance constraints but at least for your $3499 you'd be getting a M

Built-in navigation is more important and useful for long trips in an EV, where you want the nav to have detailed information on how much battery charge you have left and incorporate charging stops along your trip. That's basically Tes

Which may be fine for the Earth in general, but perhaps not for the human civilization and agriculture we have built over only the last few thousand years.

The PowerToys Run quick launcher is nice as just a simple app launcher. It really should just be built-in like Spotlight on MacOS but then you wouldn't see as many Bing ads.

Most of my gaming PC is from 2017. I have upgraded the GPU and CPU once each (thanks AMD for putting out new generations of AM4-socket CPUs), and expect the current build to last for another 3-5 years.
