So, he's managed to encourage and support the coal-rolling Right-wing, and alienate the Green-friendly Left, while demanding a $50 billion payout, from his electric car company, that has lied about FSD since, what, 2013?
Now, fire whole teams, cease all hiring, and ... profit?
You think he's a fool, but remember that extra space in the cybertruck battery pack? That's where the CyberCoal™ add-on pack will go, which will allow customers to expel huge clouds of choking black smoke at the push of a button. Electric performance, gasoline pollution. It'll be the best of both worlds!
Is there a listing of what data is sent back to your servers and how that data is stored/handled?
I work in a secure environment. I like the idea of this app, but leakage is a huge factor for my teams.
That aside, I've already downloaded a copy and plan to try it out in a non-secure environment. The concepts here look like a great idea. GL and thanks!
Nothing sophisticated right now unfortunately. But we're planning on releasing a version where all servers, models, and build CI for the app are self-managed. Let me know if that's of interest.
Even when an entity is cornered for wrong-doing, it'll be a fine, paid with other people's money, that amounts to a pittance compared to the profits gained from their malfeasance, all while "admitting no wrong-doing".
The C-suite that made the call, set the culture, and determined budgets suffers zero penalties in a majority of the cases, so there is literally no incentive to comply.
I cannot wait to read the reviews about which core piece of smartphones they fucked up with this one. After 3 Pixels, ALL with issues that never should have
been present, I decided Google can shove it's Pixel phones.
I prefer AOSP, rather than all the shitty overlays, so I went with Pixels and just FML. Complete pieces of shit.
What kind of fucking clowns make a smartphone with a shitty, barely functional fingerprint reader, in this decade?
GL to anyone that uses them, and I sincerely hope YMMV.
> Also GrapheneOS supports almost exclusively Pixels, so I would think that they aren't that bad.
I don't think that necessarily follows; GrapheneOS uses the Pixel line because it lets you install a custom ROM and relock the bootloader, and they're a security-focused ROM so that's a big deal to them.
Hmm I think it's not only that: "We strongly recommend only purchasing one of the following devices [those are exclusively Pixels] for GrapheneOS due to better security and a long minimum support guarantee from launch for full security updates and other improvements": https://grapheneos.org/faq#recommended-devices
Sure. My point was just that there is value for those who care about security.
Also I have quite a few friends (many Android devs) who have had Pixels for years, and seem happy. My point was that I don't think Pixels are particularly bad. In fact, they are pretty good in some metrics. And very far from being "pieces of shit" like the original comment is saying.
I personally have a Fairphone, which I believe is very good in what it does. But very different from e.g. a Samsung flagship, of course.
I swap between Androids and iPhones every 18-24 months, so I can stay current on both. I use both equally well, and find both to be fine, generally.
I've used a lot of Androids over the years, but the Pixels, in my case, all had substantial issues that never should have been, which really is garbage, considering the price.
> After 3 Pixels, ALL with issues that never should have been present, I decided Google can shove it's Pixel phones.
I can understand issues, but what I can't forgive is Google not taking responsibility for those issues.
My mother had a Pixel 3 that died an EDL-death at around 3 years old. She wasn't a heavy phone user, and this was obviously a defect, but yet Google would do nothing (Case ID [9-9224000032592] Google). They suggested paying $411 for a repair when second-hand phones were selling for $300.
My mom was planning on trading it in when the Pixel 6 was released, but it failed about a month before and as it wasn't working Google also wouldn't accept it towards an upgrade.
7-year software upgrades are great and all, but by not standing behind their hardware I really can't recommend buying them.
>Democratic freedoms, in the United States at least, protect people from UNREASONABLE search and seizure.
You're conflating what's written in the law and the sad reality of how a lot of that is simply ignored by law enforcement, while they are standing on your neck, searching your car.
Standing on anyone's neck, while searching their car without a warrant or probable cause is a problem, for everyone.
I'm not even sure why I have to clarify this, but ok!
Now, fire whole teams, cease all hiring, and ... profit?
Well played Elon!
