A lot more positivity than literally any of the TV ads I've seen for him, that's for sure. And the most I've actually seen of him, and not just fearmongering about his opponent, this entire election cycle. Meanwhile all the Democrats' ads are actually doing what this video is and focusing on...

Closer to the other way around, according to Wikipedia: Elon was pushing for this to be a standalone model, but was persuaded to use a platform that can be adapted into a conventional, cheap two-seater.

An open wifi network that... does what, exactly? LG isn't about to foot the bill for a complementary cellular connection for every single device they sell just to spy on people, are they?

As far as I know, Valve does not spy on people's PCs to see if they have pirated games on them.

I love how Nintendo's solution to piracy is to block people's devices from playing games that are not pirated. Gee, I wonder what they could possibly do to work around that.

That's probably what they said about Ohio during COVID, too.

Literally the first company to announce that they're going into business making and selling non-smart TVs is going to get all of the business from the people who are sick of this crap.

Maybe the fact that the Postal Service is forging ahead with his order to block mail-in voting in blatant defiance of multiple court orders? Didn't stop them from talking about it on PBS, for what little that's worth anymore.

I'm only floored by how lazy they are. Even accounting for the typical budget Trump's projects tend to have, there's no shortage of real humans out there who are already making racist propaganda games for free. Have been for decades.

So, the Mario Kart 8 update... I'm confused, is there not cross-play between Switch 1 and Switch 2 users? Because the update makes changes to the core mechanics that would need to apply to both versions if there was cross-play. But also I can't imagine why they'd want to split the player base...

Once again, no matter how evil individual UK politicians may be (and make no mistake, a solid majority do seem to be evil), they at least have rules they're expected to follow and most of them will at least hold each other accountable for breaking them. It's like if the US government in 1973...

I misread this as political speech is banned from the event because Trump is an asshole. Which might also be true; I can believe he's the only one they can't trust to keep it on topic.

Again that's Judge Leonie M. Brinkema, for those taking notes. Might as well add Amit P. Mehta to the list for overturning the mandate that they sell off Chrome, which I absolutely said would happen. List of what, you may ask? That's up to you to decide.

They also know that their users have been worn down to the point where they'll put up with anything. Again, look at the fact that a nonzero number of people willingly use Windows 11 for proof.

I dunno, "literally the thing that's already popular but worse" is how I'd describe Twitter compared to LiveJournal when it launched. Or TikTok compared to YouTube. Or Reddit and Discord compared to forums. Depending on which cases you cherrypick, it does seem to be the play. I can count on one...

Something occurred to me recently. Since X hasn't been officially called Twitter or used the name in any capacity for a few years now, isn't it no longer legally trademarked? I googled it and Gemini said a trademark can lapse after only three years of disuse, and literally the source it cited...

You can absolutely keep financial liability (for being bad at making money) separate without granting the owners legal immunity for any crimes committed in the name of profit. Honestly there must have been a time when it did work that way.

And even if it wasn't, the board will just vote out any CEO who doesn't minmax for profits.

Of course they do. Did you think every single businessman in America figured this stuff out independently from first principles?

He was clearly a high priority target for ICE too, given that they took to the tweetwaves to brag about it afterward. What the hell did he do to piss them off so bad? Wait, when did he "incite violence against Trump"? Surely I can't have missed or forgotten something that significant. Must have...
