an insurance company did this for ten years to offer discounts when insuring teens, they've since phased it out for an app

it will certainly come back into style once insurers have to determine if the driver or the vehicle manufacturer is at fault for any accidents that happen when using self driving

I'm surprised the apps don't have a REPORT ACCIDENT tab that logs all the data in an attempt to toss the burden of the injury/lawsuit at the operator instead of the company.

How much of this do you think gets exacerbated by Musk insisting on reinventing the wheel when it comes to middle management and production operations practices?

A lot. from what I've read he just shows up on the line and tries to change dumb stuff, like the time he banged his head against a bumper because he wanted the line to move a lot faster.

He's basically trump in that regard, showing up and ruining functioning systems because he's too ignorant to understand the why's and is coddled for every dumb idea he has because he's a celeb. (see the hyperloop)

Be sure to complain to everyone about how this store is using ancient technology and that they need to upgrade if they want to keep your buisness. After all, being an Apple customer sends an important message, and a buisness that doesn't do everything it can to serve those brilliant and influential clients deserves to go bankrupt.

Why in the gently caress can't Apple build anything that is durable? Their cables trivially fray and "geniuses" blame customers for wrapping them up too tightly. Stuff scuffs and scratches too easily and then we get poo poo like this.

News flash - if everyone is doing something and it causes a problem, look at the process first rather than the people.

It is peak tech to take a novel and useful new method/system and then proceed to Balkanize it so it takes forever to/never achieves widespread adoption.

they could build durably if they wanted to, but they have a brand built on aesthetics and a user base who is willing to pay a premium for that. why make cables that don't fray if people are willing to buy replacement cables on a regular basis?

Given how many years Mac charging cables have been an issue, I'm firmly convinced replacements are a profit center.

No you're right they were definitely notorious for this and went through multiple shakeups at the top over it IIRC.

That reminds me, there was another company with a sex culture so crazy they sent out emails telling employees to stop loving in the stairwells, anyone remember the name?

I believe they provided HR services to companies and got absolutely hosed by the state of California for having unlicensed employees selling insurance? Does this ring a bell for anyone?
