You know one of the techniques to rip off consumers is to hide in their transaction log. Get them to sign up for a subscription and help them forget they’re paying, that way they’re less likely to cancel. Apple handles this quite well, havi

Will the EU also dictate customer experience so when they force apple to allow others i don’t have to use 10 different websites to manage subscriptions and store my payment information on who knows who’s servers? i’d personally rather have

compared to every other company out there, they are special. I also trust apple a heck of a lot more than even epic with my personal info.

If you graduated from school and only used work that was public domain, would you have all the knowledge you currently have? Have you learned anything from anybody since graduating? Where is the line? It’s ok for humans to learn from others

by tekknik 3y ago
This goes for your knowledge as well, as AI fundamentally doesn’t learn any different than humans do. If you remove all knowledge gained from learning from or copying others works, what value do you provide? Nothing on this planet can learn

If you can’t charge at home it’s an issue. Charging while running errands again will not work (what if you do almost everything online? amazon fresh, etc) The only way this works is reducing 0-100 charge time to 5 mins.

This is the reality for me now. I have a charging station about a mile away, and another a couple miles away. But I’m still supposed to find an additional 1-2 hours per week to charge my vehicle?

You didn’t answer the question.

You could’ve avoided buying them. Point is, you can’t ignore the cost of something and proclaim that charging your EV is free.

> 45 minutes is only if you are trying to charge over 80% which you don’t actually want to do. Unlike gas tanks that have a consistent fill rate, batteries are like a sponge where near empty the charge/fill rate is much much faster

You realize this isn’t the first EV hype cycle yes? They’ve been tried before and as the article states the early adopter market is saturated worldwide. There are some very real problems that can’t be solved by battery tech, and only by rem

It’s not free, you have to include the price of the solar panels you bought excess of in the cost because you can just remove those and sell them if they’re not needed. You essentially installed greater solar capacity to fuel an EV, so not

is it powerful? In both cases X and reddit, nothing meaningful happened. Apple could block any device without attestation then offer a discount for those on old products to upgrade. Now bad news is good news.

yes it is. and when you grow up with short form videos being your form of entertainment you’re just teaching kids to have short attention spans.

So tiktok causes ADD and we’re ok with kids using it? Sounds like it needs to be used less by adults too.
