Why would China want you to have a car that doesn't send data back?

I mean neither would any other manufacturer, but with China you just know the government probably requires all that surveillance tech be added. Like voice control microphones on the OUTSIDE of some new Chinese cars. Why else would you have that?

Yeah, I know. I was a fan of the show unfortunately.

I even went back a few years later and rewatched, despite all the bullshit. Still hate the last few seasons, not even just 8.

Also haven't read the books, but personally I felt that introducing teleportation in the last few seasons was certainly a choice

They were talking about ollama cloud not ollama the application though

Doesn't it require Facebook login? I think that's what some people would need a jailbreak for (and the reason I'd never buy one)

If my car burns down, it burns down. I'll buy a similarly priced beater.

If I get electrocuted with 240, I could die though. Plus if my house burns down it's gonna be a bit of a bigger deal than the car

I'll work on complicated 12V no problem, but prefer leaving even fairly simple 240V to pros.

It's red because there's nothing forcing bike manufacturers to continue down the path of repairability and outside of the enthusiast community, people might not care much, they'll just buy what's cheaper.

Well thing is this is not about whether the items are currently repairable, but whether laws require them to be.

At the moment there's nothing stopping some dipshit from coming up with parts locks on espresso machines the way John Deere does them.

This would be a neat gimmick if it came with free tickets to the movie. Considering the price of the cars and the fact that only newish ones get the ad, they could afford it. It might even be positive PR.

And if you ask an AI to be critical, it'll also tell you why this is useless lol.

Unfortunately people want things like websites being easily readable regardless of device form factor, language being automatically detected, ability to choose font families for readability... I know, people are idiots.
