It’s just more FUD trying to keep away from it. We’re still a ways off of 100% renewables and nuclear can very much help fill in that gap without reliance on foreign oil or fossil fuels.

And El Salvador isn’t saying or doing anything to help… why?

I’d say it’s also all the property owners who need occupancy to justify their costs

I have wondered this. Though it’s your most important issue, would you let it become a “single issue” vote? I.e. if it meant going down the Trump route but they promised free dental, would you vote for it?

I love my Elite but I think it’s absolutely stupid that I have to connect to one of their servers in order to change activities and buttons. There is literally zero reason for that. You could easily have an app that connects locally to the device and can do it there. I could see needing their service if you want to download new remote profiles but that should be it.

The internet was simultaneously the best and worst thing for humanity.

I hope at this point Zelenskyy realizes that any deal with the US will be bad and is just stringing Trump along to buy time.

Lucid and Rivian, though I don’t know where they source their battery packs, but they’re probably the closest

It did that to me about a month ago. And the ads were interesting too. It thought I wanted lingerie

That’s a non-sequeter. You started by saying that internet on cars were bad and then switched to “you should be using bikes”

I think I mentioned it in another post but Schwaticars are a bit different. Though I’d assume they’d have to have some basic functionality in the event of an outage. “Always on” hasn’t come to cars… yet

Again though, they are all quality of life things. You don’t have to use it on most cars. Don’t want it, don’t pay for it and don’t use it. So just like giving people the choice of AA/CP, what’s wrong with giving them the choice of using those features?

I mean, what’s the alternative? It’s not like it has to have internet. Anything internet connected is mainly quality of life:

• Traffic
• Remote (app) features
• Music

Except maybe Teslas, damned if I know what they do. But they’re nice to have things that generally require realtime updates but the car functions just fine as a car without it.

Yeah I’ve used the Audi one and it sucks. Especially traffic, so many missing streets and odd routing.

That’s the irony though. If a virus is super deadly it actually won’t last as long because it kills off its host before transmitting as often. Oddly the most “successful” virus are the strains of common colds because they replicate the best while causing the least amount of issue.

Frankly CarPlay and Android Auto suck in my opinion compared to iDrive 7 on my BMW.

But… that being said, I do support choice. I wouldn’t even consider a car that doesn’t allow CP/AA as I think it should be up to the consumer to pick which one they want to use.

Something else that people don’t think about besides the backend server is the connectivity. A lot of these cars use LTE with eSIMs that can’t be replaced, and getting an internet package for it will be next to impossible since Tesla gets them at bulk rates. Once upon a time cars did allow “bring your own SIM cards” but not anymore. Also as cars get older the cell networks get shut down. Some companies did offer upgrades but that was few and far between. Most just said “sorry, you’re SOL”.

So even if you could hack your car, your car won’t have any way of talking to a custom endpoint.

I have never once used discord and it makes me wonder how much information I haven’t been able to find, but I’ve managed to get what I need so I don’t know if it was important anyway.

Can someone explain to a non-Canadian what is restricted with “free trade” right now. I am applying my own biases with interstate commerce in the US and coming up blank.

Huh, so I guess “Hollywood accounting “ doesn’t work.
