It’s true, he and JerryRigsEverything fill that niche.
- Comment on The $900 Massaging Shoes! 2 weeks ago:
Fair point, but MKBHD isn’t typically reviewing products for elite athletes only… he’s a bridge between enthusiast/early adopter products and the general public. $900 for shoes is outside of that zone, imo.

Oh no, Apple had no time to create five milions dongles, each for one specific use case, each of which cost $50 apiece. A tragedy.

I didn’t know that, thank you! Also apparently a judge has blocked the awarding of the package?

The entire stock market is likely overvalued by 25% or so. This is a regression to the mean, accelerated by the fact that Musk no longer seems to care whether Tesla is successful or not. Probably because he sucked out all the money via that incentive package the board approved a few months ago.
- Comment on Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak says Tesla ‘is the worst in the world’ at improving its technology for drivers 2 months ago:
I don’t know whether they were ever the most reliable EV, I would maybe say they were the most established EV. The supercharger network is huge, and it’s maybe the only positive contribution that Tesla can say they’ve had on the landscape. Narcissistic sigma male wannabe aside, the goal of Tesla used to be to make a car that people would like, and now it’s ???.

Exactly. I used it for like… 2 years? Then I noticed it started not being as helpful and got rid. But I didn’t hear that they’d sold out to PayPal of all people. I’m willing to bet most people didn’t either.

- Comment on Christie's First-Ever AI Art Auction Earns $728,000, Plus Controversy 2 months ago:
I’m against AI art because it’s not what AI is good at. The labor issues, the intellectual property issues, the power/environmental issues are just additional stacks of shit.

Tesla also seems to be going down the toilet. Might be worth trying to gather technical data on them so that, once Tesla burns to the ground (figuratively), people can fix them.
- Comment on Google changes Chrome extension policies following the Honey link scandal 2 months ago:
It’s easy to say in hindsight. Plenty of products initially are great, then some with inevitably sell out to a data farming company or whatever. Now, if you’re still using Honey after having heard of this, I don’t know what to say.
