They shouldn't have made the claim that op could bring and use a router if it directly contradicts the guidelines or their wifi use in the dorms.

So Spotify and other platforms coughYouTubecoughcough are going to crack down on bots overinflating views/listens? No? Okay then.

I suppose I cope by having almost 40 years of coping mechanisms that I use to keep me mostly okay. I let my mind fugue in the morning when I wake up. I have a routine that I try to stick to. I have a job that allows me to hyper focus on problems and get the dopamine hit from solving those problems. I don't have to interact with others for the most part to do my job. I spend a lot of time at home, use ear plugs, or headphones etc. if I can't make my mind focus I try to do something else. I take breaks. I set alarms for just about everything. And reminders. So many reminders. I also have a very supportive partner. I'm sure there's other stuff I had to learn to do to mask that I'm forgetting. But for the most part things just work because I put a lot of work into making them work and even then I am not always successful.

Tesla's had the EV market majority for awhile now. They're the poster child of more tech in cars, especially when all the other EV's on the market are following suit to try to play catch-up. Although I agree with you that paywall of car tech that we have had for decades absolutely is not an EV thing, more sensors and cameras specifically is. The other stuff is just terrible marketing firms trying to force subscription services into things that didn't ever have them before.

Tesla in particular has spearheaded this movement with the self driving car angle and it's been Ford trying to catch up ever since. All kinds of correlatations between the Ford Mach E and the Tesla models to start with, and that stuff has absolutely followed in the electric Escapes and F105 lightnings. The larger screens, the 360 cameras, the mountains of sensors and LIDAR, Ford's Blue Cruise nonsense.

Ford wasn't putting random 15" screens in the dash of their cars before Tesla did it and I'd hazard that most other car companies weren't either. It's gotten to the point where it seems like the whole EV industry is trying to imitate Tesla and as far as Ford is concerned I can't say I'm surprised that they came up with the ads nonsense specifically because that's par for the course for a company that's been plagued by the most recalls of any automaker 3 years running or more.

If I'm honest it's gotten to the point where I'll pay to fix my decade and a half or more old ice vehicle before I'll buy any EV. Mini's got problems with their batteries now, from what my brother tells me a lot of EV's go through tires and brakes at an accelerated rate and at his dealer it costs something like $500-700 per axle for brake pads and machined rotors. This is on top of the number of electric vehicles being marketed today that have significabt problems that require whole modules or internal battery components to be replaced which is great under warranty but isn't likely to lead to these vehicles lasting 50-70 years.

I hear about this stuff all the time from the people who fix these cars and a lot of what I hear just makes me not want anything to do with any cars. Unfortunately I don't have another reliable mode of transportation that I can afford and will allow me to have free time so there's that.

The mod log of their community says otherwise. People keep repeating that Vegans are being attacked, and honestly it seems to go both ways from what I've seen. I was curious about the situation and the single comment in this thread that stood out initially I believe has since been deleted but was literally using the word "carnivore" as a slur.

Several people are making it vegans vs carnivores here regardless of what the post was actually intended to be about. I'm not sure (since I believe this post was intended to be informative) that this comments section should even exist. But since it does I think it probably should have been limited to comments specifically about the verdict and the changes and rather explicitly excluded the hot button issue that touched all this off.

I've blocked the vegan community here after a single visit there and haven't looked back but this comment section is very much tame in comparison.

For updates? It works for updates too. I hope you're updating apps more than every 6 months for security reasons.

NVIDIA has been having a lot of problems with their 13th/14th gen CPU's degrading. They are also embroiled in an anti-trust investigation. That coupled with the "growing pains of generative AI" has caused them a lot of problems where 2 months ago they were one of the world's most valuable companies.

Some of it is likely the die-off of the AI hype but their problems are farther reaching than the sudden AI boom.

Ford has an abundance of EV's and has been making EV's for a couple of decades now. Automakers track all types of information about drivers, and it's exhausting and all the new EV's have all kinds of new tech specifically to track drivers just like ICE vehicles. The push for EV's is pretty strong right now, and that's the point of my comment. There's a lot of media telling people that if they're gonna buy a new car it should be an EV. Teslas are apparently being towed so that law enforcement can use the sensors and cameras to collect information and evidence of crimes. Then this news hits, coupled with an article a couple of weeks ago about how they've also patented a way for cop cars to more accurately determine who's speeding and this whole present is a dystopian nightmare.

You may only want to think about the good that EV's do, but not all of us are so blindly optimistic. EV's are one place where Automakers in particular are making new strives to add more tech to vehicles. Yes in a lot of cases more so than ICE vehicles.

Somehow you took "no new cars for me" to mean just EV's and that makes me question some things about you.

We had that. It was called radio. And then Satellite radio. If we could not continue this that would be awesome. Buy an EV they said. No thanks. No new cars of any kind for me.

Does anyone else feel like this is irresponsible? Like, I get it, humans have been destroying the ecosystems of endangered and extinct animals for awhile now. But the world is actively warming up. And even if this is successful, how do we create enough of them to survive and procreate without defects etc. And where the hell will they live? I just have some concerns.

Short answer, no. Long answer, they don't deep clean planes as often as you'd think and certainly not between flights. You have someone else's pee and feces on the bottoms of your feet if you do this. Don't. It's gross for everyone.

This right here is the same mood as using cis as a slur. Seriously, get some help.
