Well i didn’t have “Year of the Linux Laptop” on my 2026 bingo card! That’s awesome!!

Go figure the margins are that thin.

we absolutely shouldn’t buy things through Amazon or any of the other web stores Amazon owns.

I try to use eBay as an alternative, though i find every 3-4 orders i place there, i get one in an Amazon box that by all rights appears to have been shipped by Amazon. I swear people are drop-shipping stuff from Amazon to their eBay buyers.

Oh man, we owe the globe a lot these days 😅

He’s one of the “good billionaires” 🤣

This tracks 100%

So we’re sticking with the “trying to win over conservatives” angle instead of moving even a millimeter to the left? 2028 election might as well be cancelled as trump is promising, because this asshole is not the solution and only stands to forestall the inevitable plunge we’re taking as a nation.

Why do they always have such punchable faces?

Ahhhh, not what i was looking for! 🫠 Guess that’s what i get for asking a kaiju for PC components though 😅 I’ll have to remember this for next time

Mr. Godzilla, i would like one RAM please 🙏

Which is really it’s purpose, as far as i can see

Oh, there’s efficiency–just in the wrong place. He efficiently made a 4% bump in Tesla stock value by telling a few lies. That’s all this is, and has been: profiting on hype/fomo.

Why aren’t there harsher penalties for behavior like this? They’re given 4 weeks to comply, and then all is fine as long as they stop? Seems like the message they’re sending is “you can track our kids, just be more careful not to get caught next time… If you do, you can at least rest assured that there’s no real punishment”

Gotta love this whole schtick, “oopsie! We weren’t careful enough with your personal info–here’s a voucher for free protection after the fact, because we failed to provide it to you when it mattered” (with the connotation that you should have taken them up on that free protection last time a corp accidentally shared your personal data with the world, and perhaps you wouldn’t be in this mess!)

…and that’s it! Business as usual after nearly a million people have their personal info compromised. As long as this is the punishment, it’s simply a business expense at worst.

“where’s the Tylenol?!”

From the article:

The regents used AI analysis software to audit syllabi for unapproved content. Thanks to this rude mech, 200 courses have been cancelled, stripped of core curricular credit value, or forced into revision.

Gotta love how AI is calling the shots in so many sectors these days. It makes for the perfect scapegoat. “Well the AI said so” is not a valid response in my mind, but those in charge clearly disagree. I’ve also read of situations where an AI will be ‘in charge’ but there will be a human on site to help out (or likely more accurately–take the fall when the AI fucks up)

But it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’ll hear you out if you care to elaborate though.

A true centrist!

You raise an excellent point, one which i was hoping to find out more about as well. It turns out Tesla has been working hard to keep pretty much any pertinent information to answer your questions firmly under lock and key.

From this Electrek article https://electrek.co/2025/11/17/tesla-robotaxi-had-3-more-crashes-now-7-total/

Unlike other companies reporting to NHTSA, Tesla abuses the right to redact data reported through the system. The automaker redacts the “narrative” for each reported crash, preventing the public from knowing how the crashes happened and who is responsible.

Based on the limited information in Tesla’s reports, we know that one of the new crashes involved a Robotaxi driving into a car backing up, another involved a cyclist, and the last one involved an unknown animal.

So he’s basically fudging the numbers and anytime he’s questioned he points at the fudged numbers and says everything’s great, he’s great, now get out of the way while he deploys a fleet of these un-manned deathtraps to “half the US population” according to a properly ultra-super-inflated kind of claim only a douchebag like Leon can make. No, seriously–he actually claimed that by the end of 2025 he’ll have these things serving half the population of the US.
