Then they'll just report to the insurance that you turned it off and also report all the sensor data anyway.

And you can just rip out the antennas for the telemetry and that won't magically make your safety systems stop working.

You can switch off the safety systems if you want to, but don't pretend you're doing it for privacy reasons.

Yeah... If the Qashqai was under 20k €, it would perhaps be acceptable. But essentially, base model, you're paying 30k€ for a shitty FWD hatchback that has comparable fuel economy to my more spacious and heavy 20 year old wagon. Which has about twice the power. And all-wheel drive. And will last much longer, if maintained*.

The last noteworthy Nissans IMO were the GT-R and the Leaf. The GT-R ended its 18 year production run (yes, 18 years of a single model) last year and the Leaf has been outclassed by other cheap EVs for years now.

I also drove the Armada when I was in the US a few years ago. That's supposed to be their flagship, the big bad SUV. Sure it had a V8 with a nice sound, but at like 50k miles or 80k ish kilometers, it was already falling apart...

Things were made worse when they decided to partner up with Mitsubishi and acquired a large stake in that company. Another dying company that hasn't made anything noteworthy in decades and closed down production of their iconic models. Neither company has innovated in any meaningful way lately. No real advancement in engines, transmissions, etc...

*Knew someone with the previous gen Qashqai. Less than 10 years and 200k km and the engine was considered toast.

That lane keep assist could actually be making your car more dangerous since it can make mistakes but it gives you a false sense of security and makes you less alert. That's different from something like automatic braking that doesn't change your perception because it isn't actively doing anything most of the time

Nissan is a decaying company and has been for decades now. They stopped making cars people wanted in the mid 00s and don't make reliable cars like the other Japanese makes mostly do.

Lane keep assist has been around since about the 00s I believe and adaptive cruise and emergency braking since the 90s. That's not the tech that's spying on you lol

It's always a great one to play and you can even play it on the toilet now (oh wait, for like 14 years now, the mobile port is now older than the original game was when the mobile port came out)

It's had web search ability for about 2 years now. That makes it a fair bit more reliable than before except for when the source it finds is actually irrelevant. But if you're knowledgeable in the domain you're prompting about, it'll usually be easy to figure out. If you're not... Well, good luck.

Some of the worst figures in tech are gay as it turns out. Sam Altman met his husband in Peter Thiel's hot tub apparently.

Which means AI is hella gay actually.

Drop Facebook and now you can have MANGA

I mean if another competitor rises up, he'll just create an account there too. You're stuck with peertube pretty much

What far-left? It's an authoritarian-run capitalist state with better social safety nets than the US, doesn't make it far-left.

if one of their Devs spends a little time on it

Or points an LLM at it. The ones with vision capability can just take a screenshot of the text and inspect that to compare it to the characters in the text.

LLMs may not be intelligent, but there's a load of things they can do now, especially if they have access to tools.
