I've ridden in Waymos in SF a few times and I liked the fact that they drive like a granny. If they're changing programming I won't want to ride.

And, unfortunately, a 900 page TOS guarantees that the average consumer never reads it.

"Instead of physically jailing prisoners, Optimus could "follow you around and stop you from doing crime," he said

This is going to last all of 30 seconds as that is the amount of time it'll take for a criminal to hop a cyclone fence and take off never to be seen again. Or we can have the 10 minute scenario where criminal and friends take sledgehammers to the thing and sell it for scrap.

I think coding a contingency for loss of internet connectivity has got to be as basic as preventing Little Bobby Tables from deleting your data.

My MIL's health hasn't been so great in the past year so we've been visiting her frequently. She also lives in a rural town whose nearest airport is served only by Delta. Can't wait for those fuckers to notice we fly here often and stick it to our wallets.

Americans have come to think of Chinese products as bad quality because of the American companies who engage them for cheaper labor. Walmart was known to order products made to a certain spec one year, then the next year demand the company increase production, but for the same amount paid as the previous year. The Chinese company, not wanting to lose the contract, obliges, but corners have to be cut. It should be called Americanesium, not Chineseum.

Derek Guy (Die, Workwear!) posted a thread a while back (I think about 6 months ago) about how the Chinese can and do make great quality products, pointing out high quality fabrics. Give them money to buy good raw materials, give them a decent wage, and they'll put out a good product. Honestly, they probably have a more fair work ethic than some American companies that just feed their CEOs massive salaries or are owned by private equity.

I still use Facebook (many friends and relatives still there) but only through the web browser. Never ever install an app if you can help it. FB has tried to make the web version worse and worse in the mobile browser, though, to try to force people to use the app. Comment input boxes got janky and now chat is impossible unless you check "desktop site". These things worked fine a couple years ago.

It already proved its inability with facts with its white genocide rantings.

So Netanyahu let close to 1200 Israelis die of which 736 were civilians? Are any Israelis condemning him for that?

I think this one's a winner for me, thanks!
