You really think the owners are going to sell their tesla to give to the poor? Elon sure isn’t and only celebrities and those in similar situations where money doesn’t matter would do it. That you make this as a serious argument is wild.

Hopefully they had bubble insurance and now they’re freed of their magamobile and can buy something better.

It has some great upsides. But those upsides can be trained on specific information that they pay for instead of training AI on people’s stuff who didn’t consent.

They were literally fined for this. If you had taken a fraction of the time to search that you did writing the response, you’d have found it.

I’m talking replacing parts and not entire laptops. Which there are plenty that allow this. Macs no longer do.

I can’t speak for Apple quality. But they aren’t environmentally friendly. Batteries can’t be swapped out in newer laptops, and they tend to try and force their customers to always be upgrading. Their updates that intentionally slowed older devices for example.

Not too hard anymore. Say Luigi or upvote Luigi a day you’re getting the ban hammer.

We have been a flaws democracy the entire time of our existence.

Trump barely won the popular vote by 2 million and less than 50% of all votes. At best, 1/3 of Americans voted him in and unfortunately 1/3rd (beyond those who were disenfranchised) didn’t bother even showing up. Leaving 1/3rd who did or could do anything about it.

We’re pushing back. Unfortunately we have the law to work through and they’re just breaking the laws. Time will tell if the guardrails have completely fallen off. It’s not looking great but we have seen progress fighting back.

Eh, the last 4 years were rough, but we were coming out of a pandemic and had one of the best, if not the best recovery in the world. To pin how we responded to covid on Biden is disingenuous. I voted for him because I didn’t want Trump, but outside of his really bad fumble for the recent election (and his support of Isreal genociding Palestinians), he did a rather decent job.
