It’s in obvious that you have never flown Ryanair. They make it very clear at every point of the journey that they have zero regard for their customers and crew. It’s an antagonistic relationship from beginning to end.

This is coming from the CEO who pitched “vertical seating” after all.

That’s disgusting! Stop telling us about the bangs that escape your colon.

Are those Gateron Banana switches? ;-)

I used Vim once. I still do, mostly because I don’t know how to quit it.

There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who get that joke and those who don’t.

I mean, technically one would still be “yeeted into the stratosphere” just extremely briefly.

I think I was just added to JFK Jr.'s Signal group-chat.

The same is true for almost any open world game with vehicles. Casually driving a car in GTA while obeying the traffic rules has been a thing from the very beginning.

This still feels different somehow, though.

And that sample size is pretty small. I wouldn’t count on the US losing a war.

Tesla understood the “computer on wheels” approach to vehicle engineering far before most, if not all, traditional manufacturers. Their EV route planner in combination with their Supercharger network is still mostly unbeaten and was long its biggest selling point. The software is far from perfect, but it’s mostly polished, mature and has been a focus from the beginning.

All your criticism is perfectly valid, though. But most of them aren’t owed to lack of software quality but merely bad management decisions. I’d even argue that the autopilot is doing well with the limited sensors its been given - a restriction its unlikely to overcome with software alone, regardless of Elon’s lies.

I would never buy a Tesla, but most manufacturers struggle more when it comes to delivering software people actually want to use.

Software was probably one of the last areas where Tesla still had a small edge over the competition.

The competition has caught up when it comes to range and Teslas were never really competitive when it comes to quality or price.

Of course. But on the other hand: Who else would?

It’s not like Bob from Des Moines is going to find $100 billion behind the sofa cushions to buy it. There aren’t that many companies with much higher valuations.

The only thing that surprised me about the idiotic numbers was that they weren’t overwritten by even dumber ones in sharpie.

To be fair, this isn’t quite the worst thing the US has done in those 248 years.

The writing was on the wall for this one, development had effectively ended two years ago and had already slowed down significantly before that.
