No such thing as “Freedom of Speech” on a private platform. We were told this endlessly during the whole Twitter v Trump debacle.
It’s a shitty thing for Meta & Insta to do but their platform and their rules.

‘Left-wing’ in casual use in the US refers to “everyone except the Republicans and some moderates”, but “left-wing” in any serious political talk refers to anti-capitalism.
Please list the mainstream “leftist” parties in any G20 nation that are “anti-capitalist”; and by mainstream I mean they have more than two representatives at the federal level.
Not true…
My good person if I go to a search engine and type in “vectra loose steering” it returns results of people having problems with literally every mechanical bit that I pointed out to you; from tie rod ends (sometimes called track rod ends) to worn bushings in the column mounting hardware. The problem of “loose steering” exists even for your Make and Model.
It happens with nearly every vehicle manufacture. Here’s an owner of a 2019 Honda Accord ST complaining about it in 2020 when their car was only a year old! Heck I just did a search for “BYD steering loose” and got results!
For a 4 year old car to have it is ridiculous.
Now THAT I agree with. These problems really shouldn’t be showing up in vehicles this new unless they have more than 100,000 miles (160,000 kilometers) on the odometer or they’ve been subjected to abnormal conditions. I’m not arguing that Tesla’s are great, I’m pointing out (with evidence) that “loose steering” is not a solved problem and widely exists across all Makes and Models.
This goes back to pre-Musk Tesla.
Tesla started in July of 2003 and Musk showed up in February of 2004 with VC money, becoming employee number 4 IIRC. How many vehicles do you figure that Martin Eberhard, Marc Tarpenning, and Ian Write built in their garage before Elon showed up? Couple hundred maybe?
Since Musk has been in…
Musk has been involved since 9 months after Eberhard and Tarpenning started the company. He was involved with the design of the Roadster, which he and others won an award for in 2006. That was two years before he became the CEO.
Elon is a disappointment and has truly become another billionaire douchebag jackass but that’s no reason to rewrite history. Practically speaking Elon has been involved with Tesla since the beginning.
We solved this problem more than 50 years ago with better Sterring rack.
No, we did not. Every steering system that uses a mechanical column, like the Model 3, will eventually develop play. The bushings and u-joints are mechanical parts and wear over time. Even electric (drive by wire) steering can eventually develop play simply because the steering itself is mounted used a bearing or bushing assembly.
Here’s an image of the steering assembly from an Opel Vectra.
You see those things at the very ends? Those are tie rods and they wear out. You see those black booted things on each side of the steering gear? Those are u-joint and they wear out and get loose.
There’s the actual column, the part that goes between the steering wheel and the steering assembly. As you can see in this image it too has wear points that will eventually cause looseness. Specifically there is a bushing at both the top and bottom where the steering shaft goes through the column. If you have tilt steering, that column does, there’s another wear point. If you have pull out / push in steering then there’s another one.
MANY vehicles, including the Model 3, also have a u-joint in their column. You can see it in this image. That U-Joint is necessary because the location of the steering wheel often doesn’t align with the steering box on the assembly. Here’s an image of a column out of an Audi A6 and it has a u-joint on BOTH ends.
I’m not arguing that Tesla’s are great, they definitely have QC problem, but the statement that this is a “solved problem” LET ALONE one that was solved in 1975 is absolutely untrue.
Election Interference so blatant that the EU started formal proceedings.
Multiple studies, including a very recent one by Rutgers and NCR, showing it’s a pro CCP propaganda vehicle.
It lied about collecting precise user data.
The problem with TT isn’t it’s content, the “food pictures and people being nice to each other” you referenced, its with how TT uses its algorithm to influence its users and the risk of them misusing the data their app collects.
Wait until you learn about “libraries.”
I still remember the smell of Card Catalogs; a nice mix of old paper and even older wood. Video instructions are often faster and easier to understand. They’re also more accessible.
Everyone can live their lives without TikTok, YouTube…
I was an adult before YT and I don’t want to go back to a time before it existed. It’s just too damn useful as a self education tool. Need to learn how to DIY a plumbing problem? Youtube. Need to learn how to subnet a network? Youtube. Interested in the History of Moldova? Youtube.
I finished my basement by watching youtube videos and learning how to do everything from framing to electrical to drywall to finishing work. There isn’t anywhere else you can freely get the same breadth of knowledge on-demand.
Could be that they are taking a loss on the initial units in order to get going. Once the campaign backers are taken care the product is commercialized and then the price goes up. I’ve seen more than one Kickstart campaign used to launch a company in just this way. (Tempest PWS is another example).
Anyway they aren’t vaporware. I backed the campaign and received my units today.
I’m popping by to let you know that I received mine today. I won’t have time to play with them until tonight but I did unbox one and they look just as advertised.

Maybe, maybe, maybe we’ll finally see another OS take a big bite out of the OS market.
Which OS Market? The are several and the only one that Microsoft dominates is General Purpose PCs (Desktops & Laptops). Every other OS Market has a different major player. Nintendo owns handhelds with Valve as the secondary. Sony is on top in consoles with Microsoft as the secondary. Tablets are owned by Apple with Android as a strong secondary. Smartphones are the same as tablets.
I could type several paragraphs about why MS is still relevant, although less so as time goes on, for GP Computer OS but instead I’ll point out that the reason so many games target Windows OS is simply because it gives access to the largest number of buyers.
IMO opinion the decades of continually increasing DOS & Windows PC based ownership that got the gaming industry to this point is quickly running out. Personal computer ownership has been steadily declining for years as people increasingly use mobile platforms like Smartphones and Tablets. Assuming that trend continue then it won’t be long at all, maybe five years, before gaming companies find that Windows OS compatibility no longer provides a large enough target audience.
When, if, that happens there will be a rapid sea change in the gaming industry. I strongly suspect that this is why MS have invested so much money into creating platforms for game streaming. It’s the only way they can stay in the game, lol, as personal computer ownership declines.
It’s going to be a flagship game that releases with a newer engine.
I’m pretty sure they already said that its going to run the same engine as Starfield.
A less hopeful take is that the success of ESO is going to prevent them releasing anything else in the universe until it dies.
This is what I’m worried about but I’m somewhat encouraged though because Rockstar is finally going to release GTA:6; perhaps the era of local games isn’t dead quite yet.
Ahhh yes, good ol’ GRU Unit 29155. They’re still active and causing problems all over the place.
All models except the Roku Ultra will likely need to be replaced every 12-18 months. After that they start getting incredibly slow. The Ultra’s seem to hang in there for at least 36 months, sometimes longer.
Why? At worst I’m out a few bucks but I really do expect them to show up. Jeff Gerling has already been playing with them.
I backed it as well. Got my shipping notice a week ago and am looking forward to playing with it.
Closed Captions are your friend. KL writes excellent lyrics that are relevant to who he is and where he comes from.
