I would like to point the RWNJs finally got voted out in Oz last year (federal and most states). Of course Murdoch and co. are working hard to reverse that, but semi sane leadership is in place for at least a year or two more.

Cool. Good article - which shows exactly what I said.

Solve is not the same as reduce/improve/alleviate.

As Musk knew full well when he tweeted it. No one has a solution for it, the best you can do is alleviate it for a bit.

Is he being a pedantic dick ? Yes. Did the original tweeter provide a plan to solve world hunger. No.

He provided a plan to reduce world hunger for a time. It’s not a solution, it’s a reduction in misery which I’d be very happy if Musk paid for. But it’s not making world hunger entirely go away even short term let alone long term.

Aid spokesman engaged hyperbole drive and tweeted “if a billionaire like @musk gave us $40bn we could solve world hunger”

Musk replied “ok i’m listening, show me how you can solve it, if it sounds real I’ll write the cheque”

Aid spokesman (back pedalling) “well not solve as such, but definitely make better”

Musk “whatevs then”

I mean he does say so much actual stupid shit, why do you guys keep making shit up ?

Edit to add not verbatim I can’t be arsed to go find the tweets now he’s fucked twitter

A mobile hotspot is effectively just a mobile without a screen. It would only provide protection from this exploit if sms was fully disabled

¿Por que no los dos ?

we’re settling on the underlying CCS technology being the standard

Given how many manufacturers have declared they’re moving to NACS it doesn’t sound like CCS will be the standard I don’t think ?

Ford, General Motors, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Polestar, Rivian, and Volvo have signed up.

It has been a decade since I did the intellectual property law subject which I’ve never since used BUT if there are a) multiple holders of the trademark and b) none of them have used it in any real way then the company formerly known as twitter is free and clear. If I am not mistaken the key tests for upholding a trademark are that it uniquely identifies a business which is known in the market place. Also known as “use it or lose it”.

This is not legal advice, do not rely it on, particularly as I only got a credit for that subject.

Yeah the conspiracy theory that he’s out to destroy it seems to be real.

Tesla (and Rivian) don’t

Good.

Stealerships have been raping and pillaging for years. The sooner they go the way of buggy whip makers the better.

And before you ask: Direct purchase from manufacturers and licensed service centers is a much better model, if we can’t have that then manufacturer direct service.

The wheels tend to fall off on basic vehicles ? I hope you’re joking.

Btw the BZ4X isn’t priced like a basic vehicle -$42k++ isn’t exactly entry level and the same price range as a Mustang Mach E, low end Tesla Model 3 or VW id3 with much better spec

Because regurgitation without understanding leads to demonstrably untrue information being propagated as fact. There have been a number of instances also where AIs have straight up made stuff up as well.

The BZ4X that was recalled because the wheels fall off ? Has that been rereleased yet ?

https://www.guideautoweb.com/en/articles/71277/2023-toyota-bz4x-disappointing-and-frustrating/

Apparently it has been rereleased. Still not good.

Legally they have to “declare” a recall, even when they can fix it with a couple of lines of code and an OTA. Recall doesn’t mean what you would expect it to me, it means “something the manufacturer needs to fix for safety reasons”.

Hence why 98% of Tesla recalls are OTA (not actual stat, I’d have to look it up but it’s definitely in the 90s)

Only the board members. Not Musk

Edit news article inaccurate: Musk is in a separate suit not this settlement. I’ll dig another link out

So in the future lots of people 6 and 8 fingets and two thumbs ? Lord the nuclear fallout must have been bad from the war
