  • In developed civilized countries, you pay according to your ability to pay, because it's not a business: it's a common service, we don't want anyone to go without.

  • Cybertruck Driver Tests “Wade Mode” in Grapevine Lake, Test Ends with Bricked Truck & Driver in Jail.

    Jump

  • There's something to say about how an idiot you must be to buy a Cybertruck to start with: it's less capable than other electric (or not electric) pick-up, it's unecessarily big, it's fragile and expensive, and owning one doesn't convey the image of their buyers they think it conveys.

    And so not surprisingly, that pool of people counts amongst the biggest idiots who will do these kind of idiot tests.

    I can't but wonder how many CT buyers would be dead by now if Musk had claimed the CT can glide.

  • MAGAs Are Fuming After Email Confirms They Will Never Get Their $500 Trump Phones or Deposits Back

    Jump

  • The writer is aware of the T&C, they know it was modified. It's in the article.

    They report customers have received an email telling them they won't get their phones nor their deposit back.

    You're all riled up agaings the journalist because the T&C stipulates refunds will be honored.

    So, to summarize: you're mad at the journalist because the email customers received contradicts the T&C on the website?

  • But that would have required actual work on their part, and maybe, just maybe they have enough self-awareness to realize they would probably have screwed this up and made no profit.

  • The article clearly mentions the T&C were changed in April. Did you racually read it before getting mad at these journalists?

  • Nah. It's obviously someone else's faults because Trump never does anything wrong, ever, and saying this is because of Trump is probably treason or some shit.

    And they will listen, conclude he's an admirable man and vote for him again if they have the opportunity.

  • That's probably ok. Google doesn't give a damn about protecting websites from bots. They just want to know what YOU are doing on the web.

  • We'll talk about that again when all banks, online reservation, government websites all require the new captcha.

    Oh, but you can still join us by phone to talk to an AI agent or wait forr 240mins of average waiting time for a human operator.

  • Probably not, but my expectations is the EU will slam them with a record fine of 0.03% of their monthly revenue after 5 years of investigations and obligation to provide an alternative solution, that they will work around so it still does not fix anything.

    By the time the damages would be done.

    Has anyone seen the benefits of EU's mandatory opening of chat systems to third parties yet??

  • You don't need to go that far. Arrest and jail the CEO, and tell the execs you'll come back for them in 3 days.

    I absolutely guarantee you the bad practice stops within 24 hours (or some smartass may try to hide it better, might warrant a few years in jail with the commoners, of course).

  • I lived in China for 6 years. I experienced smogs dense enough you couldn't see a building 10m away.

    I've been travelling to Shanghai on several occasions and went there again last year.

    The improvement now vs 10years ago is dramatic! I'm not saying it's all fine, but I will say this: now I live in Canada (Québec) and forest fires make the air here worse than what it is in Shanghai on a regular basis.

  • Wonder why?

    Jump

  • The trend is what matters. China: electrification is going so fast it's hard to follow. Pollution is going down very fast. The USA: cancel all plan to promote EVs and weaken regulation on gas cars: pollution is to go up. And that's not including public transportation offset on the cars density, where China is basically 40 years ahead…

    The cross-point on air quality might be much closer than you think.

  • Wonder why?

    Jump

  • It doesn't, but it has an unapologetic mass surveillance. In China, you use apps on your phone for absolutely everything and anything: all payments, use of public transport, shared bikes, ordering food, etc.

    If you say something wrong, or if you're just in a group chat where someone repeatedly say the wrong thing, your account can be suspended and suddenly you can't do shit for several days. That keeps people in line, or they find other tricks to communicate, like swapping key words to trick the algorithms, or use VPN, though it's also forbidden.
