Tesla use to have radar I believe, musk over ruled teslas using Lidar and insisted on vision only. Lidar powered autonomous vehicles like Waymo are already cruising the streets unsupervised beating tesla.

Always has been

All your reasons were valid though. Teslas were the best electric cars for a long time, probably not so anymore. Tesla as a brand has done good things, like you say opening up their charging standard which is superior to all the other competitors.

Personally, I wouldn’t get a Tesla because they are sort of like the apple of car companies, e.g. anti-consumer and anti-repair. Plus, Musk owning it is another big negative.

That’s true and I even thought about trying to investigate one of their satellites bandwidth capabilities versus one starlink satellite before I commented. But ultimately it doesn’t really matter because we’re talking about them being a rival to starlink so In the context of this conversation, they need to match their capacity and capabilities in all aspects to be a worthy rival.

Aptera, what I’m waiting for. They claim they will have all parts available online for easy repairs, and IMO it’s just a really cool car concept.

You’re correct but their LEO constellation is over 10x smaller than Starlink, so they’ve still got a lot of catching up to do.

They are doing much better than other fabled starlink competitors though, like amazon kuiper which is still not a real thing after all this time.

Just open the main settings and there’s a category called personal dictionary.

FUTO keyboard, Seriously, it’s way better than every other option I’ve looked into. Has material you design support.

Also a lot of cool in development features like on-device text correction and speech to text with local LLM processing.

Yes, here’s the link to the uncensored clip, NSFW obviously, but you’ll need to put in an email to turn off NSFW filtering. https://civitai.com/images/60144368

Why, use an open source standard. AV1 for the win

Deepseek can’t take down the model, it’s already been published and is mostly open source. Open source llms are the way, fuck closedAI

Not only would it be the greatest irony, it would be the best outcome for humanity. Fuck ClosedAI

Never go proprietary when great open source alternatives exist, honestly people who bought Bambu deserve what they’re gonna get.

How is it pump and dump? These companies aren’t publicly traded.

It’s okay to feel like that, you just need to be in control of your actions and in your case you are! So good job

Nazi bars and CSAM would be undesirable, you’re right my wording wasnt great. Thanks though for the list.

Thanks!

I think a lot of people have problems with the Democratic Party being bought by the billionaires as well …and supporting genocidal regimes.

I voted for Harris but you boiled it down to a few lines and missed a lot of reasons why I think a significant amount of Americans didn’t vote at all.

Similar technologies is an extreme stretch as well, Russia is not anywhere near the technology level of other NATO nations. They need China to get anywhere near that level, and I’m not sure China would give them that level of support if a wider conflict broke out.
