They’re retrofitting existing cars. Leaving the steering wheel and pedals means they don’t spend money removing them. It also means they can remove the lidar bolt ons, and resell them as normal used cars later.

For more than three passengers, they’ll probably retrofit a larger vehicle like a van or an suv.

Mine doesn’t. Because I set it up with no Internet connection, so it’s just a dumb tv now.

Two wrongs don’t make a right.

Yeah, I’m more concerned about the invasion from the “smart glasses” fad filming fucking everything than I am this pie in the sky prediction.

They already film a lot of shows in Canada. They just aren’t branded as “Canadian” shows. I wouldn’t be surprised if streaming channels are already meeting this target.

Amazon should never been allowed to buy Goodreads.

Gasoline addiction. The good news is there’s a cure if we would just utilize it.

They are dying because they have horrible leadership. They are solely focused on subscription revenue now, and everything else is just left to rot. They’ve pretty much lost any urge to do anything creative with their money and manpower.

You didn’t miss the “mobile wave”. You purposely gave up. Idiots.

🏆 Perfect description.

Just like we all ran out and bought 3D TVs. Right? And Meta smart glasses. Any day now!

Good thing I don’t have Netflix then.

There shouldn’t be any “optional bits”. Thats part of the problem. Either it’s part of a standard or it’s not. Either you meet the standard for that version number, or you don’t.

The industry needs to shift to identifying html, css, and JavaScript versions in browser headers instead of which rendering engine. Saying “I support these versions of these standards” instead of “I’m chromium”.

It’s been a problem since day one. Maybe have some sort of independent certification for each browser to pass before being able to declare that it supports a particular version.

Considering all that Nadella cares about is subscription revenue, I have no idea how Bing still exists. Are they planning to shoehorn Copilot into it at some point?

I wonder if stockholders could sue after the stock tanks/profit dips because it turns out those laid off employees weren’t actually replaced by AI?

They ask AI!

I’d pick going back to .edu, .gov, .mil, .com, .org, .net — and actually enforcing their meanings. None of this cash grab bullshit where a company has to buy the TLD for their company name over and over.
