I was watching simpsons at 0.75 without knowing until a scene where homer and bart were getting back massages at a hotel and the noises they were making were super drawn out like a youtube poop
A representative spoke out and said that dog mode was always a misnomer because its designed to kill most kinds of pets, not just dogs.

At a previous job we had a company come in to get us to bid on some software/hardware they wanted to sell. Their idea was a dog collar with sensors that could detect the dogs body temp and relay that to a cell phone so you could get an alert when you left your dog in the car and it was getting too hot. I laughed when I was asked to work on a quote and told them that they only way anyone on my team would do this Is if the app was a single screen that reported the person to the police with a giant message “DO NOT LEAVE ANY LIVING THING IN YOUR HOT CAR YOU PIECE OF poo poo”. Every few months I’d hear one of our sales people trying to get places overseas to outsource it to, and even most of those were “no, gently caress you”.

They should just make the windscreen a screen and its just shows the road ahead in a cool 8bit style and get Rob Hubbard and Ben Daglish to do the soundtrack for it.

The camera wont be used for the FSD, just for the cool video.

The apple mouse was designed to be unusable while charging because Steve jobs thought a wireless mouse that could be used while charging would inevitably to the user end up as a wired mouse (because people would find it easier to never unplug it) which he specifically did not want because of aesthetics and branding.

The 8-bit display places virtual berries on the road and you get points for collecting them.

doesn't it also give you 3 weeks of use with 1 minute of charging?

there's a LOT to not like about apple and their walled garden bullshit - a charging port on a mouse is pretty loving low on the complaint list

If people wouldn't unplug it, they would just buy a wired mouse, besides, who cares if someone is using a product wrong, that's what a support article is for

I remember when the switchover to the walled garden poo poo happened bc I actually worked for an Apple store and let me tell you. Apple users who had spent their lives modifying their own machines were just as furious that the entire brand was moving towards 'we want everyone to be able to use our stuff and we definitely don't want them trying to fix it' poo poo, such that they came out with the unibody laptops which were impossible to open. Used to be the Apple laptops would have a little flap on the bottom for the battery and RAM upgrades.

Frankly, once iPhone came out it was all over for 'Classic Apple', it became all about providing products and services to that mobile ethos. Tiny computers that people can't open became Their Thing.

He wasn't wrong about that, but in my case it's because my cat flings it off my desk every time it's unplugged.

I live in the colorado high rockies where they regularly close the highways during blizzards meaning traffic sits for hours on the highway until they can clear the wreck or whatever. Now it's common knowledge you don't drive on the highway here in the winter without a full tank of gas (if not with extra spare fuel). Now imagine sitting in a tesla running the heater on an ever weaker battery. I don't care what tesla says the capabilites are I would be freaking out. Still so many people have them up here.

Thread moves fast, so not sure if this has been posted, but Glenn Howerton (Dennis from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) went on an absolute tirade against Tesla on the IASIP podcast because of a lovely experience he had with their UI "features." It's long, but quite good:

I remember when that happened and loling bc I already knew he was going to say the car couldn't connect in the garage, bc it's happened before. But he loved his car before this, and he hasn't followed up to say he's getting rid of his Tesla or some poo poo so I'm fairly sure that he got some star treatment after making the news and is fine now. I think it was just an effort to get some loving customer service on the line. Which is also hilarious.

His choice to go straight to Tesla sales to get an actual, live person to potentially assist was a good call. I've no doubt he's still rolling around in a Tesla still though.
