you “have to” bring it to Tesla for repairs and service
That’s some big ass quotation marks, because it’s not true at all. I’ve only had mine fixed by Tesla when it was a warranty issue. The service I’ve had done (brakes, general checkup and AC) have been done by a local shop without any issues. Had a fender bender that was fixed by a local shop too without any issues.
If the US decides to ban it then that’s a move from the Chinese playbook. Don’t be like China.
It has a bit of the same vibe as the “tolerating intolerance” paradox.
You’re right, it’s more akin to a ponzi scheme.
In the case of tesla, you’d still need the API token to the specific car (which requires username and password) to send any commands to it. It doesn’t actually take commands directly, from anything, it’s all done through teslas servers via the API. Getting access to local network makes no difference, you need the token to do anything with the car. You can’t even send commands via BT to the car.
Yes they are usually made of lead.
It’s my primary computer these days, so it’s definitely a useful tool and not a gimmick for me…I do still own a laptop, but I only use it for the very few things I do that require a KB/M combo. I’d say >95% of everything that requires a computer/digital access I do with my phone.
I just power all of my cameras with POE
We had a coworker that got fired a while back, man that was a relief for the entire department. That person was absolutely toxic to work with, or even near.

Farts per second…obviously
The tool is free…
Yeah it costs around 2k Euros where I live, which is enough to also buy a small beater…but this article is US-focused only, and it’s significantly cheaper to get a licence in the US, hence my comment.
I got a licence when I was 18 (legal driving age where I live) despite not owning a car or planning to anytime soon. I could still borrow my parent’s car sometimes, which was nice. This article specifically talks about teens in the 16-17 year old range, very much able to borrow a car from parents (if they have one)
The unit of measure in this article is whether or not they have a driver’s licence, not a car…I’m pretty sure even gen Zers can afford a driver’s license, if they actually wanted it. Not having a driver’s licence is very much a choice, to a much higher degree than owner a car (or house)
The article’s metric seems to be whether or not they own a driver’s license, not a car. So whether or not they can afford to own a car isn’t really a part of this article’s dataset, although they do touch on why they don’t own a car in the article as well.
You can use online banks like revolut for virtual debit cards in Europe.
You can’t make a perfect UI, because people think differently. What is obvious and logical to one person, is obscure and nonsensical to another. It is impossible to make a one-size-fits-all interface to anything, not just software.
They can call it whatever the fuck they want…show me the signed change order and I’ll implement it.
Lead isn’t magnetic, not sure it would pose a problem for an MRI scan.
Their hourly rate is certainly lower than my local shop.
