It probably would have dominated the market for a good while if Sony hadnt taken so long to ship mini disk storage drives for computers.

I guess that would matter, if anyone actually used Bing.

I wonder if disconnecting the car’s cell antenna would prevent this crap from loading.

Does this car have Android Auto/Carplay? Hopefully while that is active you can’t see the ad either.

I wonder if he could find a company willing to mine the landfill for resources. If the hard drive is in there, that means they don’t recycle the metals first. He might be able to offset some of the risk by selling contents like this, and by selling the methane for electricity generation. Also teaming up with a documentary film maker/selling the rights to his story could make him a little cash. Kinda like what was done with the Atari cartridge burial dig.

Or maybe the current owners do pull the metals first and he’s just screwed because the drive has already been recycled.

Also wondering why this dude didn’t keep backups. Nevermind the bitcoin, what about family photos, tax returns, etc?

That’s a great illustration to go along with the story.

Never heard of “revel”. I’ve heard of Electrify America, ChargePoint, EVgo, and a few others.

Isn’t this what researchers said about searching with Google? Isn’t this what your math teacher told you about using a calculator?

As much as I think most AI is bullshit, I have my doubts about it rotting your brain.

Decking out an SUV like it’s a race car is just silly.

Mozilla’s new logo sucks.

Gotta keep you on that upgrade cycle so you eventually have to buy a new phone. $$

That is a cool texture on that phone case.

AI or not, that show title is awesome.

“Because of AI” sounds like the new excuse to shareholders to avoid saying “layoffs”.

Even with a tarriff, a $20k car would still be cheap. There are also no tariffs on goods from the EU (yet) or you could just (god forbid) build them here in the US.

I dunno why they wouldn’t sell them in Canada or Mexico either.

You sure about that? The Cybertruck, ugly as it is, is a king size vehicle with plenty of range. There’s also the Rivian truck. Plenty of size and range. Hummer — huge, currently gets 315 miles on a full charge. Dodge RAM full size EV, will go 619 miles. Will be interesting to see what Scout ships.

Strange how these “unsolvable” problems haven’t stopped Ford’s competitors.

There’s no excuse not to sell it in the US.

Yep. The suggestion algorithm is way too aggressive. Keep in mind you can remove individual videos from your watch history.

The GM EV1 from 1997 had a longer range than this, and it didn’t even have lithium batteries.

I’m sure the right wing will use this s as an excuse to bash renewables while conveniently ignoring all the unburied power lines that have burned down half of California.

Meanwhile, most battery installations are moving to sodium ion and it’s far less flammable.
