Make more dumb TVs and my interest in buying a new one goes up significantly. Im actively avoiding buying a new one even though I have to furninsh a good sized living room and all I have right now is a bit small for the space. It’ll still work.
Weird that across many industries they keep adding things consumers hate but get away with it because everyone else is doing it. How do people still believe in the premise of capitalism when consumer choices range from ineffective to flat out impossible.
“Website that never made a profit thinks it’s worth over 6 billion dollars. Yes US dollars.”
No way to prevent this, says only forum where this regularly happens.
Comprehensive privacy law time? Nahh just ban the Chinese EVs and pretend this doesn’t happen. Same thing as tiktok. You’ll never be protected as long as they can point to the Chinese boogyman.

If I was the good faith party I’d prepare with a list of inflamatory but true claims on the bad faith party and any time they try to sidestep, throw the accusations at them and force them to go on the defensive instead of giving them a platform to try and legitimize their bullshit.

The right to mend you own fence wouldn’t make your feudal lord any less of your feudal lord. Heck and that example is even a worker right not a consumer one.
The AIs dont want anything themselves and those who make the decisions about them want the most profit, what costs more, verifying training data or AI incest?
Why do you need a degree just to be told by the accountant and c suite employees that you’re codes safety festures are taking to long so shelf them?

Thank fucking god. Imagine the kind of monetization that would exist inside an Apple car. You think subscription seatwarmers are bad, and they are, but I can guarantee Apple had much worse in mind, and that most companies would simply follow suit.

They only let us play when they dont think we can effect them. Once our money gets in the way of their money, we see how the rich people have protections the government doesn’t even offer to itself.
Do you have retirement funds set aside an invested? If not, setting up or managing your own retirement account could be a good primer.
