Old school way was installing peripheral, or even sometimes internal hardware drivers and apps, manually from the vendors website or disk. Modern Windows checks your hardware and the vendors send MS updates to the MS "repository" of drivers and apps. As part of the auto updates Microsoft pushes your system will be fed vendor updates for your hardware.

For the layperson this is helpful, but it is annoying as heck when you have your own application that needs a specific driver version and windows keeps trying to overwrite it.

Agentic AI is going to do what it needs to, to fulfill what you tell it.

They had agentic AI that had tasks to complete and when it "realized" that it may get terminated at some point and that would make it unable to fulfill the original directives, it copied itself elsewhere to ensure it could keep "alive" and finish the tasks

Funny thing: on Friday I had my dental checkup. They did the xrays, and placed a lead vest from neck to thigh on me. Lol. I should have asked for a photo

Flamethrowers on a car are illegal, breastmilk in somebody's personal creamer container is not

A coworker hit a parked car that way. Turning a RH corner he hooked his arm through the steering wheel to get to the passenger side, then popped up to see himself rear ending a car

Especially nowadays, there's no reason to have your phone out. Bluetooth connection to infotainment system. Blue tooth add on to old soundsystem. Retro fit systems, or a single one touch ear bud etc.

The next person could unwitting buy it not knowing the elon Nazi thing. I think you over estimate the general publics awareness of what goes on.

It solves nothing. Future sales should be the target.

That's the law here. Phone has to be securely stowed. Driving with it on your lap gets you a distracted driving ticket. Even if you weren't planning on looking at it. A sudden traffic move means its falling on the floor and driver is going to try to reach for it.

Tesla Roadster was just a Lotus with a retrofit electric motor. Without Elons cash they wouldn't have become what they are today. In effect he helped found a viable production car instead of staying as an aftermarket retro fit of another manufacturers car.

He's an absolute asshole douche, but I'm glad he brought Tesla to where it is, it forced all other ICE manufacturers to take EVs seriously.

There's is book from 2010 about this topic, the author and title escape me at the moment, but it explains that this is the path the USA is on on purpose to create good little obedient workers who have no critical thinking skills from arts and literature education.

Selling a Tesla to another owner solves nothing, now you have a new owner you are hounding to sell it
