But seriously, Im done with Internet of Shit, AI this, shitcoin that. I'm done with this future. It blows.
I want my 1990's new, young, unprofitized raw internet back. And unconnected cars, appliances that arent spyware terminals, anti-user computers named "phones". Im done with all the anti-human shit, all just to extract a few more cents per person, at scale.
The only way to hit an investor where it hurts is to refuse to do what they think is profitablr. That means looking at management, as a collective of people who can do the eork, and saying "no, I won't do that".
We now return you to your normally scheduled rendition of "Iterated Prisoner's Dilemna".
> It said it decided not to fine the company after Tesla said it had made several changes to Sentry Mode, including having a vehicle's headlights pulse to inform passers-by that they may be being recorded.
Why would anyone think pulsing headlights means they are being recorded? They're much more likely to simply think there's something wrong with the headlights.
It would totally make me think that I'm watched and if I'm being watched maybe I'm being recorded too.
However, I still don't like the proliferation of the 7/24 surveillance. Should start a religion or something that strongly prohibits that so we can push back a bit maybe.
Because neighbours don't do that and if someone does that you can politely ask stop doing it. Not everything has to go through the government I'm not everything has to be a lawsuit or regulated behaviour.
he already shared private photos he didn't have permission on with the Amber Heard cosplay. If he does that with someone he "cared" about then why wouldn't he do it with random customers.
Elon has been constantly getting hammered by the media, social media, etc. And yet it doesn't affect Tesla at all. It actually couldn't be doing better.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how Tesla is able to escape this wrath?
The cars are much better than the competition at the price point, the software and updates are far ahead of the slow clunky interfaces that are never updated. Dealers charging $400 to update maps is BS. People gush over them and it spreads word of mouth.
The green aspect makes it popular among moderate liberals, only the immoderate folks stop buying Tesla because of politics. And they're not as numerous as they think they are, because they drown out positive news and opposing opinions in their online circles like on HN.
Crashy hard suspensions, misaligned panels, steering wheels with disintegrating foam, pleather that warps and melts in contact with body oils... The competition has caught up in the drivetrain dept and completely eclipsed Tesla in the fit and finish department.
Not entirely new. I worked for CompUSA back in the day and I know for a fact that the services team that did repairs on computers back then did 2 things the second a computer was functional, scan for MP3s and nudes, then copy those to a couple drives they kept in the shop to power their WinAmp and distribute to those that wanted copies.
I also know my college roommate ran the 1-hour photo at a walgreens and if there were personal photos be developed he made copies for himself.
At the end of the day any system you don't control that doesn't have verifiable E2E encryption puts your sensitive images at risk.

Robin Williams made a movie about that. But speaking as a former photo lab guy, I can tell you that while the odd photo might get you to call a couple coworkers over for a peek, no one really cared to collect anyone else's photos.
I think what caused the outrage was that allegedly videos of accidents
were being shared as "funny memes", or at least made a mockery of. And
one included someone's kid being hit by a Tesla car while on a bike
[0]. In another funnier incident the contents of Musk's own garage
were exposed, though presumably he wasn't the "completely naked man"
in the story.

I guess you could get an old used car
That’s not really a common point of view.

Supercharging is the last ace up Tesla's sleeve.
