As someone who works with government agencies as a software developer: they are absolutely awful.
You'll get no specification at all, those you do get will change at least three times and every stupid little decision needs at least 20 people from different states, cities or agencies to agree.
Yes, the bug is pretty bad, but I'm also very sure that what you're describing is not the whole story.
Question is: will humanity remember it even exists?
Think about something like a roman empire speedrun. A series of smaller wars (not even nuclear), economic downfall, a few crop failures, refugee crises, political turmoil. Will anyone remember the vault after 50 years? Will anyone stumble upon it? Will raiders sell the surviving tech for food?
Mildew doesn't grow in 15min, it takes hours to even smell weird and days to grow fungi. It's literally been cleaned with soap and hot water, there's not much to grow left.
And I bet you it reduces reliability, because all those fancy electronics are absolutely crucial for it to work at all and brittle as a sand castle. So you'll end up with a white brick if the wifi module craps out or a capacitor gets too warm.
You don't really need an accurate timer. If it says 2:30, just set an alarm to 3h and you'll be fine most of the time.
They did lower prices several times, but even though Tesla may not see itself as a luxury brand, they're definitely in the higher priced range. And there they are competing with more and more compelling offers from other companies, including traditional car manufacturers.
Tesla at this point has no edge. It's not cheap, not well built, range is just okay, the only thing it has is brand recognition. But that can backfire, obviously.
Here in Germany, Tesla's image used to be excellent, then they built a gigafactory near Berlin and had to be dragged by courts and striking workers to comply with the law, and they still thought it would be a good idea to put a water thirsty factory in the middle of a stretch of land that is literally turning into a desert right now. And Musk just stood there and laughed his simulation of human laughter into the faces of journalists and the chancellor when confronted during the opening.
Well, you have to have the windows open for ventilation anyway, so the fire escape is right there.
Sending money to an organization that carries in its name that it's intended to do political actions is definitely a show of intent. And that's not a legal question. Legally, a Russian oligarch could send money to an American company he owns/controls and that company could then forward that money to a super PAC. Easy to pull off legally, but very open and if it comes out, there's hardly any denying.
Buying stocks on the other hand is super simple to do directly and of course a Russian oligarch has a bunch of assets, some just happen to be Trump related stocks. Nothing to see.
Because a foreign government funneling money into a super PAC is easier to trace and proof intent. Buying stocks is just an investment without any political implications.
To be fair, there are no statistics. You can't just query Twitter anymore, at least not for a reasonable price. So the only source is Musk, which is sketchy at best.
I think it's just an incandescent light nubbin at this point.
5 isn't low, though. That's a full Pentium of risc.
