brapI like it, but it’s even worse than that as I’ve never had my printer murder motorcyclists or trap me inside and burn my body into dust.

“your HP subscription is about to expire, would you like to renew it? BTW, that’s a nice house you’ve got there, it would be a shame if something were to happened to it.”
That’s not from lack of desire, but ability.
artifex
irelephant [he/him]There was a bug in HP printers that let people remotely set them on fire.
SeductiveTortoiseNo, see, we only call it a bug if it isn’t meant to be in the software. In this case, it’s a feature.
I’ve never had my printer murder motorcyclists
But I suspect it would if it could.
I’ve never had any problems with my Tesla 3. I wouldn’t buy another because Musk, of course. But the car’s been solid.
They charge for premium network connectivity. It’s $10/month to make use of if the LTE radio in the car for connecting directly to streaming services without your phone, live camera feeds in your cell phone app, and some extra map stuff. You still get eight years of basic navigation and updates if you don’t pay for it.
The heated seats thing was BMW, which they back tracked on
I doubt you lose the GPS connection, but you lose the network connection to make the mapping and navigation work. About like navigating with your phone without cell service
Mapping and navigation still work but only update when you update the car. You lose access to real time traffic and the lte network.
Same, we bought one before Musk went mask off. We’re closing on 180,000 KM and have only needed to replace the upper control arms, which was covered by warranty.
Not bothered by the safety issues?
I learned how to use the door knobs, if that’s what you mean?
You’re lucky, then, I think. My nephew’s 3 never got right. After a year of ownership they finally agreed to take it back, mostly to avoid a lawsuit, I think.
The fit and finish was also pretty atrocious, but I reckon most people don’t really notice.
Same here. The only maintenance has been tires, windshield washer fluid and cabin air filter for the last 5 years. I also won’t buy another one as long as Musk is there. Last year we were in the market for a second car and if it was about tech specs alone, a used base model 3 would be the best, but we bought a BMW instead. Fuck Musk, but the car is a pleasure to own.
MalReynoldsTBF so is IBM (actual Nazis, not just fascist fanboys).
No shit? Like historically or up through the modern era or newly so or what?
I was considering if I should work for IBM. Maybe I need to do a little reading on that, any sources you recommend?
Edwin Black’s book IBM and the Holocaust is the principle source. IBM denies this accounting but I found Black’s case compelling and his book cites primary sources in the form of Nazi documents and eyewitnesses in Poland.
Thanks, I’ll check it out soon. Appreciate every little new bit of knowledge in this sick world.
manmachineDon’t you dare slander my printer so
Right? If I want to print something it’ll print.
If I want to drive a Tesla, my printer won’t call for the genocide of Jews.

MashedTechUnless your printer is brother. Then I wish my car was like my printer.
vaultdweller013The car equivalent of a brother printer is a mid 90s to early 10s Toyota.
You wouldn’t download a printer
As someone who works with printers for a living this is insulting to the printers.
Oh, Brother!
Tap for spoilerGet it?
Also, it locks you inside and starts on fire.
Thats one of the few things I like about it.
AeriI hate all those brands that people create a cult around. Back in the 90s, it happened around Saturn cars. Saturn owners were known to be insufferable about their Saturns, as if they owned something special, instead of just another car that anyone could buy at a Saturn dealership.
I test drove one once, to see what the fuss was about, and by the end of the drive, I had about 10 things I hated about it, including headroom being so low, my head hit the ceiling on every bump, even after the sales guy adjusted seat all the way down, and I’m not even 6 feet tall. Apparently, Saturn was hostile toward tall people.
Does a Tesla work better when you give it a sharp slap on the side? A little percussive calibration?
Can I offer a little percussive calibration to Musk? Just a sharp slap on the side of his head? I’ll bet he’ll respond to that.
