From inside sure, most cars have an override in the handle. It doesn’t change the lockout problem.

I haven’t has a car with mechanical locks in a long time. I’ve also not had a battery so dead the locks didn’t work.

The question is if their remote disable will be triggered before the US blows the factory up anyway.

Every place I worked there were employees that I’m not sure how they had a job. Those people aren’t being contacted by recruiters, and they aren’t leaving voluntarily. Layoffs are a companies chance to remove some of these people.

The problem with the hard pull is that the employees that had options left. Those are generally the better employees.

It’s a balancing act though. A lot of top talent is going to leave either way, so over focusing on them hurts everyone else. Mandatory return to office was a lot more costly than most companies hoped for though. It was essentially a lay-off, but it left companies with pretty much only the bad employees compared to a more traditional approach.

Cutting the supercharger team could be a hedge for Musk personally. The stock tanking seems likely now, so not having this team makes them a less attractive acquisition.

A decade is a lifetime in technology. Moore’s law had just ended when this was put together.

Put at least one network drop in every room. You can always cover it if you want, and the ability to change the layout in the room can be handy. Also new furniture can force layout changes.

Also add significantly more power outlets than you think you need. I’d go every 2-3 feet in bedrooms and offices. That way blocking an outlet isn’t a big deal.

If you’re already down to studs, it’s significantly cheaper to add more than you think you need than trying to retrofit things later. Conduit is a good idea to make adding or removing lines easier in the future. You can also add boxes for things like a sound system or intercom and cover them with drywall if you don’t want to use them right away.

Dark money from other countries is a good boogeyman, but it’s basically irrelevant. Biden and Trump are going to spend between 2 and 3 billion on the election collectively. The hundreds of thousands or millions a foreign government may spend is a rounding error.

It’s already gotten shitty on the storefront, but it’s been solid for games in your library. Most people likely already forgot when just being listed in steam was a mark of being a quality game, now it’s littered with shovelware and asset flips.

Linux isn’t free at the enterprise level. You aren’t just downloading a Linux flavor and slapping it on everything. There’s going to be a support contract to cover if something weird happens an expert is on site to help fix it within 24hrs. There’s going to be guarantees that if software does x it will work even with future os updates. Replacement hardware will be available and compatible as well.

They retired. Boeing hasn’t built a new plane in a very long time. Part of it is management, and part is regulatory issues. Yes management has consistently forced out people with knowledge, and replaced them with less experienced people. That happens in every industry, it’s not always catastrophic.

The real problem is due to the regulatory environment. Yes those rules are important, but they’ve also effectively banned new aircraft from being built. There are now generations of engineers that are experienced in making a new aircraft look like a small tweak to an existing one. The perverse incentives created by the regulations changed Boeing from a company that built aircraft, to a company that just games regulation. A similar thing happened to the auto industry to a lesser extent.

This is something that needs government intervention unfortunately. Counting on individuals to not just buy the smart tv that is cheaper and more convenient isn’t a viable plan.

Best buy has non smart listing for 55in TVs for about $1,800, it’s also intended for outdoor use. In comparison you can get a 55 in smart tv for $400 from best buy.

There are listings for an $800 hospitality TV, but that is internet capable.

Newer TVs are getting even worse. If you don’t connect them to the internet and don’t agree to their TOS, you get a less useful tv. They purposely give you the worst experience they can without drawing adverse attention from regulators.

The ability to create a copy of a copyrighted work from ai shouldn’t be any more relevant than with a copy machine.
