So there’s two different “remote” actions. One would be using a key fob and the other through an app. I sincerely hope that the unlock/lock, start/stop through the key fob is always free and these charges are for some sort of app. However 150 yearly seems quite expensive unless there’s some neat features that aren’t in the screenshot.

You’re still not comparing apples to apples. The people who actually need something like this (not this specifically because we both agree it’s bad) would not be using it to tow just a small trailer. I agree the cyber truck is bad but the comparison still makes no sense.

If you believe them, Tesla says the cyber truck can have a 2500lb payload and tow 11000 lbs. That’s a whole different ballgame than your geo metro which officially doesn’t even have a towing capacity.

Some people actually use trucks for their intended purposes instead of a status symbol.

Ok, now try to do the things that trucks are typically used for in your geo metro. Towing, transporting construction tools and materials, etc.

I’m not defending Elon because I think the truck looks dumb and is over priced, but you gotta compare apples to apples.

I like how many years ago, the limitations to programming was the hardware. This led to programmers needing to be creative with their solutions. Maybe they should find better ways to train their AI…

The more moves I see like this, the more I wonder how anyone in corporate finance has a job.

Gotta love corporate greed.

If you are displaying ads to the user, the ads should pay for their access. If a user is paying for access to a service, they shouldn’t see ads.

I wish removing a song from my Discover weekly or similar lists actually worked. I swear I remove the same song from that playlist for months and it still shows up.

There’s no way this is true. I can literally think of similar code as what’s in GTA V, I have never opened the link. Does that open me up to a law suit? That’s crazy.

I definitely see a shift where I live in the US (Northeast). We used to get snow that stuck in November and it carried us through to March or April. Now we will get some flurries but nothing really sticks until January. The overall length remains the same, but it seems shifted by a month or two

That’s the most frustrating part. I don’t mind watching limited ads. I get you gotta pay for your shit somehow. But don’t give me 30 minute ads, and don’t haphazardly place the ads in the video so there’s no transition from an important part of the video to your ad.

I typically use an adblocker but for some uses (smart TV) I’m too lazy to set up a workaround. It doesn’t bother me that much.
