The way I read it is the ones with that feature are "track only" anyway. So if you see one on the road you know someone is either driving it illegally, or it is the basic model without that stuff in it. The super expensive ones will just end up...

Yeah, that isn't happening as much as it used to. Before you didn't have a choice. If they didn't like it they banned it from broadcast TV and your choice was ... well ... you didn't have one. If they want to ban something then I can still go...

I think the whole thing depends on how you look at it. Streaming movies/TV, for me, was never a replacement for buying physical media. I use streaming to replace the live TV subscription. It has, for me, had the follow-on effect of...

If I polled my family members right now about having to install another operating system besides Windows they would answer "I guess I'd buy a Mac?". I guarantee you none of them even have a clue that Linux even exists. I suspect most people don't...

And the sad thing is this has been going on for at least probably 20 years.

And how do you expect linux to gain market share with that attitude? I call out linux advocates for their arrogance, and you give an even more arrogant reply. None of my examples are outdated unless you count a few months as outdated. I...

Yeah, lots of videos out there doing freeze frames showing different cars used for different stunts. Same stuff they've been doing in movies for decades upon decades. You specifically design one car for one stunt and then a different one for...

The people who buy high end sports cars just want something that looks fancy and "cool" while they drive around town. None of them are ever used at 50% of their actual performance. I'd be shocked if most of them ever hit 25% of their performance...

FYI, as a follow up to this ... I finally bit the bullet and installed Music Assistant on my Home Assistant box and got the speakers setup in a group. Now I can do it with one screen press in music assistant. No more pairing speakers manually...

That's the point. Ditch the bling and bullshit and take a Model X chassis with more modern batteries and slap a "sports car" body on it. It would sell it droves compared to this thing. This thing is pure investor attraction, nothing more. I doubt...

I'm not impressed with silly gimmicks anymore. I'd be more impressed if it had a reasonable price (for a sports car) and a decent range. As it is, it is a halo car that only the very wealthy will buy. What they really need is a sports car costing...

Not what I meant. I mean they're both fighting for total control of AI and the associated hardware. Everyone else is just collateral in that fight right now. The US wants control over all the parts and pieces and so does China. Europe, in this...

And other people are using made-up statistics to justify it is bad. I agree it is a sucky connector but stick to facts, not made-up statistics.

I agree. I fully agree with the engineering assessment of the connector and how they're really pushing it too far. If people just stuck to that I wouldn't have a conflicting thing to say on this discussion. Most of the debates on this topic are...

I wouldn't be surprised. The US and China are fighting for total control and other markets are going to get brutalized unless they try to slow the drain.

You're ignoring the point I made. I never said the design was good. I said the math didn't add up in claiming how big the problem was. I made it very clear that I was pointing out only an error in using bad statistics, not claiming anything about...

All I used to hear in the 2000's and 2010's was "Risk Analysis" and "Data Driven Decisions"! They seem to have stopped talking about that stuff and are now just doing cost cutting without any risk analysis at all. The drive to stoke profits...

My first thought when I saw the topic was that we've had alternatives to Photoshop for decades. 99% of the world doesn't need Photoshop because the basics do the job. And, these days with AI, people aren't even going to learn the basics anymore...

So ignore actual statistical modeling methodology which all industries use to study failure rates and trust the AI. Gotcha.

A.I. makes it so esay to debunk false claims these days: No, it does not contain a large enough sample size. Your skepticism about the poster's lack of statistical knowledge is completely spot on. When evaluating hardware issues through the lens...
