They work great until someone drops it and bends the frame. As soon as there’s misalignment it’s becomes frustrating garbage.
Working warehousing, I bought my own and tethered it to my push cart because every one in the building kept getting destroyed by other employees.

Until this; I’d never heard of that rapper, and this drove lots of people to at least find the song that supposedly led to the C&D/stranding(real or not).

And everyone is just like “that’s totally something they would do! Lol”… What?
Keep in mind pretty much everyone on this platform already hates Tesla and does not nor would they own a Tesla vehicle. There’s also a certain ‘you got what you deserve by buying that’ kind of attitude towards Tesla owners.
This is behaviour we expect from this shit company and it doesn’t directly effect any of us commenting on it. We just get to point and laugh (for now).
The discussion might be a little different if it was a less expected brand like IKD, Audi. But who’s to say for sure; there’s been a lot of ‘cattle’ behaviour lately.
- Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet? 5 days ago:
A smart TV is primarily a surveillance device that also happens to display video.
- Comment on How do AI data centers manage to *consume* water, but when I cool my house, my A/C *makes* water? 6 days ago:
Yeah, thermodynamics are a thing. I’m not trying to claim some free energy system saying you could power the whole data center; but if you could re-capture some of the waste heat and convert it back into electricity, putting that energy to work instead of just venting to atmosphere, it could potentially help offset some of the raw electrical needs. An efficiency improvement, that’s all.
- Comment on How do AI data centers manage to *consume* water, but when I cool my house, my A/C *makes* water? 6 days ago:
Collect and condense the hot water vapor, concentrate the heat until you’ve got steam; then pump it through a steam turbine recapturing that energy as electricity.
I’m sure there’s some difficulties and nuances I’m not seeing right away, but it would be nice to see some sort of system like this. Most power plants generate heat, then turn that into electricity. Data centers take electricity and turn it back into heat. There’s gotta be a way to combine the two concepts.
- Comment on When one earbud decides to not charge and I need to remove it from the case and put it back. And I even sometimes don't realize that... 1 week ago:

Excellent sound quality, durable+replaceable cables, and options between a TRS(aux) cable, USB C cable, or even a Bluetooth adapter.
- Comment on When one earbud decides to not charge and I need to remove it from the case and put it back. And I even sometimes don't realize that... 1 week ago:
I’ve made a habit of wiping the contacts on the earbud and case before putting it away, then I give the bud a bit of a wiggle once it’s in so the contacts rub together and hopefully dislodge/break through any dirt or oil.
- Comment on Could one legally get a hold of those bank bill dye security dye packs, dye your own legally obtained cash with it, and spend it places? Just to make people suspect you're secretly a bank robber. 1 week ago:
Intentionally defacing/altering currency is a federal offence in itself. Though rarely enforced unless particularly egregious or you intend to defraud someone with it (like altering a 10 to be a 100 for example).
Aside from that, any business you attempted to spend it at could and likely would simply refuse to accept it.
At best you’d be left with a bunch of bills that can only really be exchanged for new ones at a bank. At worst you could face roughly $100 in fines+6mo in jail for each bill defaced.
- Comment on New Android POS at work has 4 notifications but I can't clear them because their MDM locks the notification bar. 2 weeks ago:
We have company issued android phones with bluetooth headsets while on-premises (they work as ptt radios between staff, and they’re linked to the business phone so we can directly answer calls for our departments.).
There’s like 7 locked notifications and it regularly plays notification sounds but very very rarely displays any notifications that are actually relevant to you.
Finally it automatically logs you out after exactly 8hrs, even if you’re actively typing/using the device. Shifts are 8.5-9hrs including lunch.
- Comment on Why don't women like to be called females? 2 weeks ago:
Gender culture aside, the terms ‘Male’ and ‘Female’ sound really… clinical. Depending on the context, it’s so formal that it’s bizarre. Like an alien trying to fit in.
“Hello, fellow males, what are doing today.”
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
As someone that struggles to sleep in a room with any light; this sounds awful.

What in the fuck are you (un)packing that needs 64+ threads???
- Comment on Thumbs up to people dying. 5 weeks ago:
The times we live in.
I want off this ride.

I can’t think of a place more deserving of a mass-shooting than this room.

- Comment on Streaming Viewership Surpassed Cable and Broadcast Combined for the First Time Ever in May, Nielsen Finds 1 month ago:
Live sports is one of the only things that still makes sence to have live tv for. Pirate sources for live games is difficult; but I’m not much of a sports fan anyway, so that’s never really enticed me.
- Comment on Streaming Viewership Surpassed Cable and Broadcast Combined for the First Time Ever in May, Nielsen Finds 1 month ago:
I haven’t had a live TV service in at least 12 years. I had traded it for Netflix, back when it was the king of streaming services; but that went to shit and got replaced with Emby/Usenet a decade ago. Haven’t paid for media since, baring the very very occasional theatre visit.
- Comment on Well stars are no longer visible anyways 2 months ago:
If I ever look up at the night sky and see a billboard shining down at me from space (literally or through some kind of mind/vision altering tech like nuralink) I’m becoming an anarchist.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
That’s why we gave them minecraft.
- Comment on Unsubscribe page that crashes when you try to unsubscribe 3 months ago:
I’ll try the unsubscribe link, if that fails I’ll directly email addresses like contact@company.example, info@, support@, service@, hr@, admin@, abuse@ requesting I be removed from their mailing lists.
If all those fail (I’m still getting spam later), I whois lookup the domain and send a complaint the listed abuse address for the registrar. That typically goes through AWS who follows up asking for the email source headers to investigate.
It usually ends there.
- Comment on REVENGE 3 months ago:
Maybe, but the homeless crackhead shambling through the lot at 3am like a zombie doesn’t give a fuck and will kick that thing as hard as he can muster.
Move it anyway; at least it will have a chance instead of painting a massive target on it with those cones.
- Comment on WhatsApp now lets you block people from exporting your entire chat history 3 months ago:
Just what people need; a false sense of security…
You don’t need an export button to save copies of a chat. Even if screenshots are blocked and you’re not running an OS that lets you bypass that, you can always take photos/video of the screen when all else fails.
Once you’ve sent data, it is no longer in your control. Messages, emails, posts, files, replies, encrypted end-to-end chat applications, all of it: Don’t send it if you don’t want someone somewhere to keep a copy. Maybe they did, maybe they didn’t; it’s no longer in your control once it has left your device.
- Comment on High point of the meeting surely? 3 months ago:
Interesting question; let me consult with my advisor for just a moment…
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 3 months ago:
I make a ton of stupid spelling mistakes just because of typing on mobile 99% of the time. For some reason I CONSTANTLY miss the keys I’m looking for, or manage to press them in the wrong order somehow; swapping Ns with Ms, T with Y, R>T, B>N, inserting spaces too early, doubling up characters.
If i nevsr look up and jus tkeep typing, I end of with a garbled mess just liek this sentence is.
This can get much worse if I use the next word suggestions. I’ll spot the suggestion I want, but continue to press the next letter; this changes what’s being suggested, or just moves it to a different position (centered vs the two options to the side) but I still press where I first saw it which is now a totally different suggestion…
Lots and lots and lots of proof-reading. And I STILL fuck it up.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 3 months ago:
- a single answer fits all the questions asked
- answering one question will make the others irrelevant.
- it’s not obvious there are multiple questions (usually down to formatting, or skimming a block of text)
- the person’s just in a hurry, at least answering one is better than ignoring entirely
- Comment on This is a shit post. 4 months ago:
Lmao. I’d only scrolled far enough to see the top half, paused and though to myself; “you could probably calculate how fast that shit was going, using the speed of gravity as a reference.”
Then a scrolled to see it had already been done…
- Comment on I'm leaving the US for good, anything I should do before I leave? 4 months ago:
I don’t suppose you’d be up for a political assassination or two…?
Maybe go visit the Statue Of Liberty, before it gets melted down.
