It needs to be viable first, which obviously won’t happen when the management keeps stumbling into PR nightmares weekly.

Then multiplayer should be its own app. Making a whole single-player game unplayable just so you can push anticheat cruft into everything.

Fuck anti-cheat, the bane of gamers everywhere.

Musk has moved on from trying to create an ‘internet bank’. Dude now wants to make something like LINE or WeChat, which is absolutely hilarious.

It’s not that easy to break an addiction, but I have faith that Musk can fuck this website up juuuuust enough to chase away a higher percentage.

They’ll just call every one of those inactive accounts ‘bots’ and be done with it

Yeah, this ad campaign seems rather counter-intuitive if it’s aimed at swaying people.

To be fair, most people don’t really know or care about turning off telemetry. From their perspective, it’s better to just let ‘nutjobs’ like us turn off their tracking while they collect data on the 99% who won’t care.

lol no problem, the way this was reported definitely made it seem like this was something new when it was really not.

Uhh just to clear up a misunderstanding, Apple and everyone else already scans your photos in the cloud and compares them to a pre-curated hash of known CSAM. What Apple was trying to do was do the scans on-device instead, for photos outbound to Apple’s iCloud. Supposedly, this was to make sure that your photos weren’t directly scanned by Apple themselves.

Again, I did say there was a difference. Also, these were most certainly Democrats.

Yeah, and the most accessible too; meaning a lot of people who would love to mess around with their cars to get more value for their money.

It uses pull-tab adhesive, which even most Right-to-Repair advocates consider ‘sufficiently repairable’. When it comes to glue, Samsung’s worse by a mile.

Probably yes period

With Apple, people generally let it slide because electronics aren’t as expensive and don’t last as long. Cars, on the other hand, are extraordinarily expensive and they’re supposed to last a lot longer than a phone.

Plus, at least Apple doesn’t (for example) charge you extra just to ‘unlock’ more performance on your phone.

Imagine being able to retrofit these with solid-state batteries when they’re a thing. These hackable 3s might someday go for a premium.

There’s also ‘don’t use it’, which is a perfectly valid option.

It really should’ve been $50 for Lifetime, at most.

The trackers were specifically there for Google’s ad service, so I assume this’ll get rid of those too.

Especially when FSD is still garbage. Seems to me like they just wanted to trigger FOMO.
