Aside from being backed by Bezos, this seems like Lemmy the car. Under 20K, an EV, no stupid touch screen, designed to be repaired and modded, and even crank windows.

I bet the catch is the range or charge speed.

The only reason people debate whether or not this is an issue is because bad faith actors get conservative media to tell people that this fake problem is real.

The data has never supported their argument, and when you point that out, they fall back to their old counter arguments of a) a couple random cases out of millions, and b) “there must be corruption, because I live in an echo chamber, I only know people who vote like me, and I can’t imagine that my views are not shared by the broader population.”

Yeah, people always mock up these Apple patents. It’s practically guaranteed to happen when Apple files anything interesting or weird. Someone will model what they think the final product looks like.

The rendering is, but the patent isn’t.

A bunch of rich folks with massive portfolios of inherited wealth telling the world that they need to rely on “merit” to come up in the world.

Pah-lease

Apple patents all sorts of weird shit. 99% of it never gets made. They just want the money from patent litigation and licensing.

Honestly, Intel has been up shit creek for a while now. No one big wants to use Intel’s fabs because they’re afraid that Intel’s design team will copy their homework.

Vertical integration has fucked Intel. TSMC’s fabs get all the important contracts from Nvidia, Apple, etc. And the massive client volume allows them to accelerate the evolution of their fab tech.

Intel needs to break their chip design business and fab into two separate businesses, otherwise it’s a continuation of the death march.

All his shitposts slide out of Truth Social now.

Looks like the market, once again, scared him back to down.

And the approve rating is our stereotypical 35ish percent.

36% positive. It’s always about 35% approval with the crazy authoritarian stuff in the US.

They do. That said, now that it’s really easy to mask whois data, I would argue that’s a less than perfect solution.
