I am an easy-going guy from the magnificent Gold Coast (Queensland, Australia) that loves music, designer clothes, pretty women, technology, pop culture and gaming.
Other passions of mine include the Magical World of Disney, animals and traveling.
In my spare time, I dabble with cinematography and photography, though I am not very good at either; and I enjoy a good run to keep fit.
@rikdekker @TechCrunch I don’t know about in America, but we seem to have quite a few Tesla superchargers here in Australia, and my understanding is that they are FAST… So I don’t know why you would avoid one of the EV manufacturers with one of the largest charging networks. To do so just makes no sense.

@TechCrunch Is anybody really all that surprised?

It’s Meta… One of the most unethical companies in the entire world, as one of the most unethical companies in the tech industry, run by a guy that’s known to be corrupt and unethical.

#Meta #Facebook

@gamingonlinux Still waiting for them to be Steam Deck Verified… The moment they are is the moment I buy a copy.

Right now, it’s too uncertain from update / upgrade to update / upgrade… Sometimes it works flawlessly, other times everything breaks.

@arstechnica Absolutely won’t happen… As a current #Nissan #Leaf owner, I’d be curious to see what would happen if #Tesla did buy Nissan; but it would make very little sense for them to do so.

If Nissan was unable to find a buyer and went out of business, well Tesla is one of many companies that would directly benefit from such a demise; so it would make more sense for Tesla to reject any such proposal outright.

In saying that, this is just wishful thinking by #politicians , anyway.

@MrLee @arstechnica You know that EVs are no better for the #environment than #ICE vehicles, right?

And yes, I’m an a current #EV owner (though I’m not #rich , so I don’t own a #Tesla ).

@greaterthanstupid @arstechnica So you would sell a high-quality car for a cheap knock off that’s *probably* not going to be as reliable… Because you don’t like the owner of the company.

That doesn’t seem like overkill at all.

That’d be like me saying I’m not going to use Instagram anymore because Mark Zuckerberg is a twit. 😂

@da_667 @arstechnica Stop talking smack… Tesla has nothing to do with Nazi German, nor does it share the same ideals.

Volkswagen and Adidas on the other hand… Well I’ve got news for you and it’s all bad.

@TechCrunch Sadly, this article implies it’s only for embedded CarPlay in new cars (i.e. the version that comes with a car’s built-in head unit); there’s no indication that it will be made available to third-party head units or otherwise made available to exisiting CarPlay head units.

Which is a shame, because CarPlay is buggy as Hell, and long overdue for an upgrade.

@gamingonlinux But why would you even want to do this? 🤔
@TechCrunch Yeah, but there’s post after post after post about how #Bluesky enthusiastically #censor content / ban or restrict users, and apparently a lot of the content on there is “ #woke “ nonsense, too.
