Keeping repairs locked into your system of parts/techs can at least feign “safety” or “quality”.
But essentially just refusing to repair is an absolute fuck you.
I’ve started choosing the companies I use based much more on the experience offered when their product/service DOESN’T work, rather than when it does.
As someone tech literate that looks hilarious to follow through with.
But if not, that really does seem similar to a normal captcha with fairly simple steps.
I honestly still hardly have any (spare) USB-C cables, and while I’d never pay for one I always do find the official Apple ones quite reliable.
Now it’s just a fuck you at this point
Mine changed back to 8MB from 25MB a few weeks ago and it really does cut the amount of stuff you can send without having to run them through compression or just host externally.
I’d love to know the returns any of these companies are getting on advertising there… it was already pretty bleak before the takeover.
“The driver will not knock, so make sure you are looking out the window and prepared for the 4 second timeframe when the driver will stand near the truck looking at your property, wherein you may run out and scream ‘wait!’. If unsuccessful, a delivery will be reattempted on an unspecified date within the next 8 months.”
Every company is trying for the most unqualified workforce these days… but at least most of them don’t involve flight.
His proposal with buying Twitter was to “fix the bots” but he probably actually just meant control the tone of them
I’d be more willing to pay Logitech for a subscription to never have to touch their software again.
Trying to make a flagship product and keep it pumped up through subscription sounds a lot like live service games.
And those all fucking suck.
I thought Elon would just tell everyone to drill in some hood pins.
But I guess trying to do it through software(…?) is even cheaper.
Every time I click a Reddit link now it’s just “download the app to verify your age” regardless of what it is
Maybe the reason Elon broke every part of Twitter was just so he has plausible deniability while he meddles with everything and desperately tries to get his name in every discussion.
I still don’t understand how the buzzword of AI 10x’d all these valuations, when it’s always either: a) exactly what they’ve been doing before, now with a fancy new name b) deliberately shoehorning AI in, in ways with no practical benefit
Pessimistically, I don’t see how the system gets better without full collapse.
But wow imagine a few normal candidates running again. Imagine getting to vote for politics and not in a rule-breaking popularity contest.
That’s crazy they had above 50%, though I guess they were the only EV-only company in North America (I believe?).
I love the idea of useful and improved AI-automations, based on the fact every site currently has a “customer service robot” that have never once helped with a resolution at all.
IMO it can eliminate a huge amount of support queries and leave the important stuff to the actual agent if done right. …with the caveat of yeah fuck AI if it’s fully instead of agents.
It’s disgusting how many times I’ll catch myself opening an app I closed less than 2 minutes ago because I was bored.
That’s the most dangerous part of it for sure. Inherently, the more a company has a monopoly over an industry, the less incentive they have to actually do a good job with anything.
