Kind of predictable due to the massive distraction they have been trying to engineer with FSD talking points.

If only there was some sort of coating that could be applied on bare metal to prevent this…

I think the YoY comparison is misleading as their EV production was not in full swing last Feb, and now they are probably just filling inventory before they pause production to shift to more of a hybrid mix. It’s the same kind of YoY comparison that led to crazy Tesla valuations as they increased volume rapidly to meet demand. The huge increase is not indicative of a long term trend, since it’s unlikely demand was increasing at the same rate as production.

A more meaningful comparison would be to the average of the last N months (pick N to avoid seasonality).

I saw a lot of people making excuses that new year fell in Feb this year, making the YoY worse. But I was unable to find the 2023 and 2024 January numbers, since the sum in the first two months would cancel any such effect out. Anyways, you’d think those making such excuses would actually cite that data to prove their point.

The idea that facial recognition was just to determine if someone is in front of the machine is a diversion. A simple occupancy sensor would do the same, cheaper and more simply. The company only invested in the facial recognition because they are getting some other gain from it (presumably, data harvesting).

People have options, and it’s very easy to go somewhere else. If the food isn’t better the price and demand are going to be perfectly related. Every price hike matched by a corresponding drop in sales. Zero sum game.

Yes, then factor in higher insurance, higher depreciation, and the one time costs to install a home charger, and anything saved on fuel quickly evaporates.

I’m not sure if it’s due to general distraction caused by the screen, or misuse of ADAS, or just the typical attitude of the owner group, but I’ve gotten used to expecting erratic behavior from Teslas on the road, and compensating. That’s unfortunate.

I don’t really find the Android notification system useful, as there are always a few apps that permanently place an icon in the tray. But I’m not really a mobile “power user” so I’m not the target market for these features.

You’ve got to figure, if some is still driving their 20 year old Saturn or Mercury, they are a careful driver.

Exactly. Mastodon supports polls so what the heck?

US government doesn’t grasp that sanctions will only further motivate their internal technology development, until it surpasses US tech. China isn’t North Korea. They have plenty of local talent and capabilities.

The US govt is unable to fathom that SMIC internally innovated to allow 7nm, and now 5nm process that does not need the sanctioned tech. Also, SMIC is likely stretching the truth, calling their N+1 tech 7nm, just to taunt the US.

I think this is very true, but western media isn’t going to probe this point.

US. I see the same scams on clients without Adblock. Only way they care is if it becomes a PR problem for them.

They make Toyota-ish margins on ~$53k asp, roughly $10k more than Toyota. Just not a lot of meat on the bone for an EV…

Mismanagement and inefficiency must be present everywhere at Google as they do immense amounts of R&D but are constantly beaten to innovation by smaller players.

Marten visited my engine bay

So yesterday, a marten visited me, it probably wanted to make a den in the space between the soundproofing wall of the engine and the cabin, it tried to eat the foam in the space between and scattered it all over the engine bay, because surprise - it is actually foam and not cotton candy. And because it probably didn’t like it...

A new radiator hose / heater hose is only like $20-$40 I think…

Inside the 'arms race' between YouTube and ad blockers (www.engadget.com)

From the article: “In some ways, the current situation has spurred an arms race. YouTube has inadvertently improved ad blockers, as the new knowledge and techniques gained from innovating within the YouTube platform are also applicable to other ad and tracking systems.”

Thanks to stuff I learned about in the comments of previous posts on lemmy, I no longer see any YouTube ads. I’d say their plans are backfiring.

Yup. I’m a web dev. Switched from testing first in Chome to testing first in Firefox a few months ago. And I had been Chrome first for probably 10 years prior. Some of our customers (enterprises) also started deploying/spec for FF by default in the past year.

I have no idea what cats think, but when talking to them I refer to clothes as “fur,” so I guess I’m assuming they don’t know the difference.
