Cosmos7349,

Jokes on you I’m into that shit. Now do that one where you give my info away to a random hacker again.

Cosmos7349,

As a non-logo shirt enjoyer, I do not mind the relative discount I am currently getting.

Cosmos7349,

Are you sure it’s not just… a bunch of aunts?

The thing that annoys me with this kind of thing is that there’s so much tech like this that COULD be really useful if we had absolutely any trust in Microsoft and big tech at all.

Like… data, data collection, ai, and big data could be so useful for general users, but instead of creating useful ui and features for users, they only suck up all our data to build nice charts for advertisers and feed all our data to ai that can help them train their advertising models to try and extract more money from us.

He who controls the data controls the universe

Ah yes, that car I read about in Popular Science in 2006. I’m sure their crowdfunding will be used to bring it into production this time.

Cosmos7349, (edited )

I’m not saying they don’t have funding. I’m saying that even with the funding secured, I don’t believe them until they actually produce cars that can be in the hands of customers. Forgive me for being skeptical when I see them occasionally pop up with more hype every so often for TWENTY YEARS.

Cosmos7349,

Wake me up when they ship something

Oh yeah I do think the idea is really cool, and I agree with your sentiment about evs (especially within the usa, specifically). I just don’t have an expectation that this company will deliver something that can match the expectations that they always seem to project.

Re specific small-ev projects, there is innovation happening, just not in the states. For example, I think the way they do electric motorbikes in some asian cities right now is very interesting (ie Gogoro is pretty popular in Taipei, and Honda is experimenting with a similar style in Japan) . Essentially, you have stations that have large walls of batteries, and you just take your bike, swap batteries out for charged ones, and you’re on your way. It’s a cool idea that makes electric bikes just straight more convenient than motor ones.

I think it’s just way easier to justify innovation in small evs when the top-selling vehicle in your country is not the F-150.

Cosmos7349,

Huh I didnt know this story. Thanks for sharing!

Cosmos7349,

The innovation is the focus on battery-swapping, not in the use of motorbikes… In fact, Honda is developing non-motorbike vehicles with the same concept. That being said, different vehicles work better in different environments. Motorbikes work extremely well in the very compact cities in Asia. They are cheaper to manufacture, and save space / improve traffic when more people use them. Your methodology of nitpicking all of comments that don’t mesh with your extremely narrow vision of an optimal future is a GREAT way to advocate and make people want to conform to your ideas.

Cosmos7349,

Yeah… The president’s backers don’t share values with Jesus… But they also don’t share values with Trump… Trump just pretends to share their values in order to get what he wants…

Cosmos7349,

And then you go live the UK, realize that tv uses only a small subset of British accents, and sometimes find yourself wondering “Huh I wonder what language that is?” only to realize it was English 20 minutes after the fact

Cosmos7349,

I don’t have too much experience with this style, so this is probably completely unfair… but I lived with a guy for a bit who brought his own portable version that hooks up to the sink… and dude would constantly leave water everywhere no matter what we’d tell him. So I def prefer the in-seat style based on my lack of trust for the humans using them.

Cosmos7349,

in cdmx. Can confirm it was hot. Pretty dry here right now, though, so if you were out of the sun it was okay.

Cosmos7349,

oh mmm I just mean this week during those hot days was quite dry. In general seems okay I think? And we should be hitting rainy season pretty soon here. But I’m pretty city-bound, and I think the places that would probably be affected by this more are a bit north, so could definitely be issues I’m less aware of.

Cosmos7349,

Good thing you don’t have an ingrown nail anymore, or else kicking yourself would hurt

Cosmos7349,

Siri was already behind the competition from its initial launch. I get the sneaking suspicion this will be an r1 with better ergonomics.

Cosmos7349,

huh, interesting… I don’t remember it being released that far in advance. Makes sense in that case.
