the macbook thing is pretty rich considering musk is tooo loving stupid to let a windows laptop set itself up.

also has such a tiny ego he has to talk about setting it up himself instead of the help.

I have a dual monitor setup at home with my work laptop and am still amazed that on top of the monitor from the HDMI port I can run a full extra monitor and accessories out of a USB port.

A bit tangental to the conversation, but as a goon who still associates attaching monitors with tightening those VGA screws it always impresses me how user friendly and flexible tech has got

Lol, yes. My normal videogame setup got disrupted yesterday, and I had fun connecting my Switch via USB power->HDMI->VGA adapter to play some games on an ancient monitor. Fun times mixing old and new tech! :awesomelon:

I have one of those 14" portable monitors you can get on Amazon and it's a champ. It's razor thin, has mini-HDMI, powers off 2 amp USB-C, and I think I paid under $100 for it

We innovated the ball joint by redesigning it from the ground up, asking ourselves, "what would Ford or Toyota do to design a ball joint?"
Then we did the opposite of that, that's just the kind of innovation you get at Tesla.

How else are they supposed to learn how to make more robust ball joints? You won't find this level of technical expertise at traditional vehicle manufacturers

Same. It still feels weirdly unsecure to not be able to fasten the cable properly.

Sometimes no amount of user friendliness helps. I bought a new monitor around new year's and had to spend some panicky and anxiety filled hours asking for help over in the monitor thread because I thought I had bought a too new monitor that couldn't be plugged into my computer. Turns out there were just some plastic plugs on the graphics card covering up the newer connection ports.

Remember how those fuckin screw terminals would sometimes themselves get unscrewed when you were detaching a vga/dvi cable? God I hated that poo poo.

HDMI was kind of annoying that it had no click or anything and could get tugged out really easily by accident but DisplayPort seems pretty good now!

Dudes at work would do that all the time on the bmc vga connectors and it was super annoying because the servers would be shifted around on benches every other week so we’re constantly plugging and unplugging

I just removed the screws on the cables

It would actually be easier than with normal car paint because organic solvents that dissolve paint (especially acetone) are more likely to react with clear coat and car paint than stainless steel.
