BEV/Hybrids have been around a while, there's places you can buy individual cells when they die and it's pretty easy to replace them. As time goes by, it should become no harder than going to the auto parts store like we do with regular ICEs. Unless they do shady stuff like making the batteries OEM only, like how Apple do with their batteries.

Start selling cheaper ones. The day a sub $20,000 EV comes along that can do more than 150 miles on a charge you will all shut up and take my money. I don't need fancy features, I just need something that can get me to work and back with a bit of wiggle room and never have to pay for gas again. 150 miles would be more than sufficient, but 200 would be PERFECT. Leaf and Bolt are close, can we get something a little cheaper, pretty please?

Jokes on them, all the files I put on there are encrypted.

OK I refuse to read the article because it's behind a paywall, but I can tell you it's 100% fake. As for TikTok, people tell me constantly "oh you just have to watch it for a while so it tailors to your interests". No, fuck that.

Glad I didn't pay for it, the price is just ridiculous anyway. I use the, ahem, free sites that exist all over.

Didn't win, but fun experiment.

People still use Twitter?

Still works with Windows 10 keys, however. Makes sense since Windows 8 and earlier are EOL now. Also, you don't have to activate Windows if you don't want to, it'll just bug you occasionally.

No cable modems where I lived. I worked for an ISP and we'd order fire alarm circuits then just put SDSL routers on them instead. Up to 2Mbit speeds depending on how far from the exchange you lived, I was only able to get 512Kbit reliably. We were selling them to customers at a nice markup for a profit.

British Telecom wised up to it a few years later when they started marketing ADSL themselves and started filtering our traffic, but for a few years it was a super cheap way to get broadband if you had the know how.

Plenty of people had broadband, I was one of the first to get it in 1998. A whole 512Kbit.

No motion sickness, but most VR games make me disorientated after a while and I just don't enjoy them very much. They're fun for a couple of hours once in a great while, but I never see myself doing it as a daily hobby.

Right now it's an idea, but Musk's ideas tend to become reality more often than not. I already stopped Twitter, they do this I'll be gone for good.
