Nah, they have a cellular data connection.
It pays for itself, because the car manufacturer can sell the driving data to insurance companies.
And now it's used to make sure your brakes subscription is up to date

Maybe all of DOGE was about finding Epstein files content, and failed.
And now that they have been released, Musk realises there is no kompromat on him so he can recover some PR points or something

27:1 kd would be accused of cheating in video games.

Because this stat isn't really a stat and isn't hyped or published, I'm going by DDG AI assist which suggests US k:d in Iraq is 44:1

The U.S. military suffered approximately 4,492 deaths and around 32,292 wounded during the Iraq War, while estimates suggest around 200,000 Iraqi civilians were killed. This results in a rough kill-to-death ratio of about 44:1, favoring U.S. forces, though this does not account for all combatants and the complexities of the conflict.

Considering that Ukraine isn't killing civilians... Classic AI bullshit uselessness.
If I killed 27 enemy aggressors while defending my country, I would die happy. I don't ever want to be in that position, I don't think anyone should ever be in that position. But that is an achievement, under the circumstances, to be proud of

Knowing what lurks underneath old cities the demand for archeologist would absolutely skyrocket.
Great job creation prospects.
And then we get to queue in cars to get coffee. So convenient.
It's just wins all around

Every legal demand starting with "IANAL, but..."

Ah, piss. So it is.
I'm going to blame it on autocorrect, even though we both know I just got it wrong

I've been rocking endeavourOS.
It's really nice, but I hear great things about bazzite. I'm going to have to take bazzite & steamOS for a spin

It's that whole thing where the medium amount of ram upsells you to the large amount of ram.

The base model has 8gb of ram and 512gb of storage, but is only £1700.... But that's not useable.
1TB of storage is only £200 more, but it doesn't have enough ram.
18gb of ram is only £200 more again, but it's back to a 512gb ssd.
18gb of ram with 1tb ssd is £2500. And that's what most folk would consider to be acceptable.
And that's an £800 upsell, by making little bits unpalatable.

It's aggressive marketing. Or unfair marketing.
Like that thing where a cosmetic is 600 game-coins. 500 game-coins is £5, and 1000 game-coins is £7.50.
Might as well but 1000 game-coins. But then you have 400 game-coins left over, and you will never be able to buy the perfect amount of game-coins to spend on cosmetics, and that little amount left over makes you want a new cosmetic for "only £5 more".
It's just scammy
