- Comment on ‘Lidar is lame’: why Elon Musk’s vision for a self-driving Tesla taxi faltered 17 hours ago:
They stuck the model Y’s new added front camera right under the “grille” shape (where the black trim ends and body colored panels begin), so the rest of it being so bland doesn’t have an excuse. The rest of it’s front cameras are under the front glass, they could at least make an interesting fascia, even if they had to keep the dimensions roughly the same

Looking at their recent facelifts, I don’t think they have many good designers left
- Comment on Ok so it's that second time of the week to post this hit classic 1 week ago:
I’m happy that the people who built tools of terror (that are of particular significance to me) are getting fucked. I’m not happy which way/fashion they’re getting fucked. We’re on the same page here.
I’m not gonna write paragraphs about the nature of oppression and theory of state building, I don’t think that’s gonna help anyone. Simply stating my feelings about one particular oppressor. I don’t even know if they’re gonna be dethroned. But I do know the people of that country (and those of perpetrating ones) have infinitely more power over their future than my words on here. And actions support neither side.

That’s not how it works.
How what works? My feelings about the situation?
- Comment on Ok so it's that second time of the week to post this hit classic 1 week ago:
I’m glad that at least one oppressor gets to the “find out” part. I’m sad it’s not mainly the people they’ve been oppressing that are doing it.
Let’s hope that changes when it’s the others’ turn.

- Comment on "Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propaganda 4 weeks ago:
The last of America’s Army games, see this steamdb page for screenshots. I tried it years ago and got a vibe of proto-insurgency, it’s somewhat realistic, even the tutorial is decent, but as you can imagine they just wanted a good recruitment tool and this wasn’t it.

Exactly, it’s an awful treadmill. EA as a whole was at nearly 60% profit last year. Coupled with layoffs, it seems they’re trying to keep that infinite spend as potential as possible lol
I just hope something good comes out of recent ex-rspn teams.
- Comment on Apex Legends and Star Wars: Jedi Dev Respawn Cancels Another Incubation Project, Lays Off Unknown Number of Individuals 1 month ago:
Afaik they’re still using awful third-party servers, lag compensation is still aggressive as fuck, they tried to “fix” visibility by slapping a bandaid in the form of healthbars, and the anticheat thing was another bandaid instead of a surgery. Overall it’s kinda stuck, all of the old issues are still there.
They have a shitload of new cosmetics though, if that’s your jam. Funnily enough, they were so greedy even esport orgs didn’t want to keep working with them. Rspn offered a one-time payment, orgs wanted a percentage of sales. Mind you, it’s a fairly big esport that advertises the game for them (btw played on better servers than available in-game).

Imagine making billions (with an S) off of one game and still calling it a miss. Chasing infinite growth is so dumb.
- Comment on For all you inked people 2 months ago:
There are positive aspects to coming out if you’re in the closet. What’s the positive aspect of face tattoos?
It makes one happy?
Yes, everyone is free to do it. Everyone else is also free to judge them for it though.
What’s the point though. They are already judged enough, I don’t think it’s a good idea to worsen that.

Internet isn’t a single community, so yes.

“They get a pass because they normalized it sooner”
- Comment on For all you inked people 2 months ago:
You can absolutely cover up face tattoos. It’s even easier in colder climates. Also, and I know it’s a bit of a reach, but coming out publicly is a permanent change that you know you might be discriminated against for. Should everyone stay in the closet because it brings fewer negative future effects?
Let people do what makes them happy, after all, it doesn’t hurt anyone (except themselves for a bit while getting it).

everything else reliant on it cruise control, lane assist,
That’s stuff’s on buttons in many, many cars.
back up cams are all either unnecessary
They really aren’t. With thicker pillars (for better safety, but also sometimes for design purposes) the more cameras you have - the better.
You can still buy incredibly simple cars, just look at PSA, Dacia/Renault basic models or Fiats that have been in production for years. Hell, Mitsubishi ASX turns 15 and all they did was stick a big screen for a radio. Suzuki S-cross imo is the sweet spot, a small screen for 2 functions (radio/phone audio, camera) and physical controls for the rest.
Or just don’t buy new cars. I think you’d like VW Up, big selling point of it was the lack of a navigation system because they get outdated so quickly, so instead there’s just a nav holder.
- Comment on Anon predicts the future of driving 2 months ago:
I think those old toyota and saab (orange or green is best) screens are nicer to look at than most new ones. Btw have any automakers even tried going above 60hz refresh rates? lol
- Comment on Anon predicts the future of driving 2 months ago:
Oh, there have been attempts. Joystick controls, for example, in Mercedes concepts (F 200, SL R129 Concept, Vario Research car), or in actual farming vehicles. Recently, several automakers tried yokes. For now it’s the cheapest way to make a car steer, we’ll see some funky shapes probably.
