I can't imagine paying six figures for this vehicle. There's nothing aesthetically pleasing about it. It's a "truck" but also somehow more worthless than other modern trucks/bro-dozers on the road today. Have s

Not enough. Executives and consultants need to be sent to jail and held responsible. For years, the government and court systems have been unable to punish these private corporations. At best, give them a slap on the wrist with these fines.

Apple just can’t add features to their OS without breaking existing ones. Probably used Apple Intelligence to QA the OS release. Steve Jobs would be disgusted at what his company has become. “Just works”, my ass

I agree here. Given the bespoke design, I would love to see a comparison with other machines.

mkbhd over the years has had some really bad takes on tech. I haven’t used his channel for quite awhile. I would say his success is largely due to being among the first to the market in tech reviews and having (at the time) better productio

Rare to see a physical product release here. Congratulations! On the surface, the problem you are solving looks clear and the product itself looks amazing. But curious what actual baristas think of your product. I don’t see any product revi

Yet another incident where information was stolen, then 3-4 years later the victims get a pittance ($25 cash? $1 credit in app). What a joke.

this is the gen z/gen alpha equivalent of those "useless" personality surveys. stop feeding these companies your data.

The equivalent of “deny, delay, defend” but with smaller companies. Pumping the books and moving expenses to make the quarter appear good. Practices like this are unethical, should be illegal to hide it.

Side note on Gemini: I pay for Google Workspace simply to enable e-mail capability for a custom domain. I never used the web interface to access email until recently. To my surprise, all of the AI shit is enabled by default. So it’s very li

yea, it’s called moving your fiat currency into digital currency. Get your wallet’s private key yoinked and wallet drained? You are done. And you get the added benefit of a highly volatile asset! Broke in 2023, but hitting it big in 2024. I

Traveling in the US has become so burdensome. By air? In addition to full body Xray, Xray of carryons, and taking off shoes, waiting in lines. There was this added risk of random search and asset seizure. By car? If you live within 100 mile
