I wouldn’t consider the Tesla model Y a high end premium vehicle. It was the best selling vehicle in the world earlier this year, in spite of the higher price than gas-powered competitors:

Exactly. I use 10 at home and at work and have no issues with either. There’s no technical reason for anyone to upgrade.
Why are they worse?
Every significant organisation, government, big company probably had done something terrible at some point.
Yup, which is why it’s basically impossible to be an ethical consumer these days. “The Good Place” did a really entertaining exploration of this idea.
While this is an interesting read, this doesn’t appear to be the case:
Every .io domain you buy funds a government committing crimes against humanity.
The .io TLD wikipedia article claims that it has always been operated by private entities and no revenue is shared with the United Kingdom
How long until YT is totally paywalled?
Probably never. I doubt they could offset ad revenue with subscription fees.
I assume the replicator still requires raw materials. Rare metals are likely still rare in the future
I was curious about their office in France and found the Google listing is full of tech support questions.
Wasn’t that the whole point of the creation of Alphabet? That they’d have different business units with their own products?
So you want Epson to provide you with a separately application which runs in the background to tell you when to update? Why split the responsibility?

How fast do you need your phone to be for sending messages, streaming video, or browsing the web? Every phone made in the last decade can do these things.
no headphone plug
This used to be something I cared about until I found a bluetooth headset I really like. Going wireless is fantastic, in my opinion.
Teams definitely feels bloated, but having used it for years at my lost job, I can’t say I ever found it buggy. The only issue I ever had with it was actually with my bluetooth headset sometimes not being recognized, but it was never clear if that was an issue with Teams, or Windows, or the headset itself.
The Outlook integration for planning and joining meetings was super handy. If there was some way to get email in Teams then I never would have had to open Outlook again. That would have been nice.
I think the features need a lot of refinement, though. Having threaded and non-threaded chats is clumsy at best. I found the threaded chats to be far inferior, and the inability to search for non-threaded chats was very limiting. Search in general was borderline useless.
Officials immediately safed the Gemini North telescope and stowed the massive instrument.
While it’s good to be cautious, it’s wild that hardware would be exposed to external actors in any way.
No leaks necessary; there are a number of open-source LLM’s available:

The key differentiator between these and proprietary offerings will always be the training data. Large amounts of high-quality data will be more difficult for an individual or a small team to source. If lawsuits like this one block ingestion of otherwise publicly-available data, we could have a future where copyright holders charge AI builders for access to their data. If that happens, “knowledge” could become exclusive to various AI platforms much the same way popular shows or movies are exclusive to streaming platforms.
There’s an amazing amount of conversation about how this person is supposedly a racist with no evidence to support it. Am I missing something?
I like this, but I’d drop the special election in favor of disqualifying candidates who would age out during their term.
Change your email provider? Run your own email like people should?
This isn’t a practical suggestion for the vast majority of the population.
The base model X costs twice the base model Y. I’d consider the X expensive. I wouldn’t put the Y in the same category.
