Lucid Motors drops the price of its cheapest EV by more than $8,000 (www.yahoo.com)

Lucid Motors drops the price of its cheapest EV by more than $8,000::Lucid Motors is lopping thousands of dollars off the price of its most affordable electric sedans as it looks to boost demand after a disappointing year of sales. The rear-wheel drive version of the base model Lucid Air Pure will now start a $69,900, down from...

Keep on not spending money in cars gang, let’s get them prices down!

Doesn’t China already have a killer dog prototype?

“No sir, I mean when we started our German shower company I know we had a mission to make the world a cleaner place, but if all of our competitors are building gas chambers for the government should we really miss out on that? Don’t we have an obligation to our shareholders?”

As an American it’s equally annoying how people cannot fucking see what a great job Biden has done overall. Land of the Free, Home of the Dumb

TheDarkKnight ,

As compared to what? The inflationary rates of the rest of the world? Because things cost more everywhere and comparatively the US weathered that better than about anywhere else. Real Wages have also have increased a lot to compensate in comparison as well. US is smoking other countries in this regard. People ARE dumb because they lack the critical thinking skills to actually look what’s going on.

The Inflation rate is lower than most other countries AND real wages have risen much more in America compared to peer countries as well. Each one of them would trade their numbers with the US in a heartbeat.

Feelings aren’t facts, turns facts are facts. And the fact is when measuring real numbers Biden has absolutely crushed it.

TheDarkKnight ,

Isn’t that the point I was making?

TheDarkKnight ,

And I pointed out that wages actually did go up, moreso than any other country on the planet. Then pointed out that inflation has been the lowest of any country as well! And cited it! Yet that is not good enough. No one has had it easier than Americans following the pandemic.

Your feelings are not matching up with reality. Your situation might suck, idk but the overall situation is comparatively better than everywhere else.

TheDarkKnight ,

You have more opportunities here than elsewhere. Seek them out.

TheDarkKnight ,

Not at all, but you do have to move on to move up often. We’re not Boomers, we don’t get to stay put at a single job for 40 years. There has never been unemployment and wages have been higher for blue collar workers, with growth outpacing inflation much moreso than white collar jobs. Your labor has never been in more demand so get yourself your just dues because you can and should (and DESERVE to) be earning more than minimum wages.

TheDarkKnight ,

Humanity is hurting worldwide, there is a major war taking place in two areas of the globe following a global pandemic. Seas are going to be choppy for a bit. But you have it better than everyone else. The situation is literally the best it can be right now.

And make the most of it, you have a tremendous advantage. A historic low unemployment rate, highest wage growth and demand for blue collar workers ever. If you’re not in a great situation, remember you’re a free agent always and the market has never been hotter for you.

TheDarkKnight ,

Well you sound like someone who’s completely out of touch with reality so I figured your must literally be in the most dire of straits, suffering more than the rest of humanity because milk costs a buck more than it did in the 2000’s

Sweet jesus, talk about reading a headline and not the whole srticle. Go back and see what they were supplying and in what quantities to each side.

MS is thinking it helps their legal argument if the FTC comes sniffing around their 2k layoffs from Activision/Blizzard

It is inevitable to a degree. Obviously this is not the final form and I’m sure the goal is to make a more fashionable solution that fits into their phone/watch/airpods kind of edc strategy. But no doubt we’ll have a future where info is right there if we want it. This thing is the foray into developing that eventual product for Apple. To me it looks real dumb, but a sleeker version in the future that looks like glasses…well shit it might be nice to watch a show while washing dishes idk.

TheDarkKnight ,

It would be ar glasses I’d think, not a headset with a strap. At least that would be my guess as to the end state.

Never skimp on Cybersecurity, you’re gonna pay for it one way or another!

YSK: If a problem you're experiencing doesn't show up in search results, could be a sign you're looking at the wrong issue

Why YSK: I had this experience this morning. I was raging because the “alt + tab” shortcut had changed on my work computer when it worked fine yesterday. Now it opened the task view, but wouldn’t switch windows unless I clicked on a different program....

A+ Cert in IT is fairly basic and isn’t all that useful besides a general overview of some aspects of the field. However, the most valuable portion of the cert is on troubleshooting methodology and that carries you through the rest of your career. It’s pretty common in a nutshell, try known fixes to previous issues first, then work from simple solutions (check power/cable connections, reboot, etc) to more complex solutions (reformat disk, clean wipe, etc).

The amount of times I’ve been on a million dollar salary engineering troubleshooting call and things like “checking that the credentials are working” get skipped in favor of looking for an issue in a newly written script is hilarious and happens far too frequently.

It’s not that simple solution are necessarily the most likely but that you can rule them out quickly.

It’s a skill like you say, just funny how that cert always comes to mind (it’s the entry level cert for IT for people not familiar).

Is there an environmental cost with fossil fuels?

I like apple better tbh. Some things I like more about Spotify but overall Apple keeps playlists fresher for me. Spotify plays the same stuff over and over.

We need chain of custody data laws. If FB sells your data they’re responsible for keeping a chain of custody as to who they sold it to and requests for removal need to follow that chain down with regular audits and stiff fines for noncompliance.

TheDarkKnight ,

You don’t need surveillance, if anything that just opens up an avenue for espionage. What you need is AUDITS. Audits fucking suck but they keep everyone accountable. You back up your auditors with strong penalties and clear guidelines and you’re good.

No spending should occur without an auditing plan on how to ensure you’re getting what you paid for.

I speculate it is a test product to work towards ubiquitous ar glasses in the future. Basically to figure out the big problems, produce a few good apps, etc. before trying to make the true product.

UK lawmakers are annoyed that Abramovich’s frozen Chelsea funds still haven’t been used for Ukraine (apnews.com)

Probably the only way you can telegraph “never wanted anything to do with this” to the West.

I love the tech but have much the same feelings. AI maybe improve the world eventually, but I predict a painful future in the intervening time. I hope investors turn sooner than later to slow this train but we’ll see. Lot of big players betting the farm on AI, to the point where they’ll do everything to see it through.

What about toilet technology?

Haha wow I had no idea, just was being a smart ass and got a fun fact out of it. Thanks for sharing!

I travel a lot for work and one pro-tip that has saved my bacon more times than I can count is to always be sure to check that your 737 Max Jet has both wings attached BEFORE boarding.

They should call Drift Souls, Elden Nurburgring or Sekivroom

I think instability of the world at the current moment is being acknowledged by military brass throughout NATO as having the potential volatility to see current regional conflicts expand considerably. Middle East, Taiwan, NK (unlikely but a bit of a crapshoot always), Ukraine, etc. Throw in the wild card that is Trump and his rhetoric surrounding NATO and Europe combined with his embrace of Putin and Russia/dictorial aims in the US and you’ve got several things that would have you worried presently. His job is to make sure the UK is ready to address any situations that arise I think statement is more publicly acknowledging that troubled waters COULD be on the horizon.

Data Protection and Privacy laws need an absolute complete overhaul.

Seems small but something like this could kill this plane as a passenger jet if enough people are avoiding em.

Oof.

Jedi Fallen Order is a Star Wars skinned Dark Souls game lol

TheDarkKnight ,

It’s a good game. If you’re gonna copy, do it well and they did. Probably the best SW games in a long time and the combat system works really well with it. But yeah it’s nicked entirely haha.

TheDarkKnight ,

Yeah both those games are better than anything recent, still amazed we haven’t gotten a proper remake of KOTOR yet tbh. Easily one of the best Star Wars stories in any medium and that whole era could be its own movie saga.

TheDarkKnight ,

India kinda got fucked by Europe in the earlier chapters, lol we let em have this one I say.

Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off (www.ign.com)

It’s kind of shocking how bad it has gotten. I never thought SEO would win in the end, but they did and now Google is fairly useless. Like if AI doesn’t work out long-term what are they left with? A bunch of inferior products people don’t trust anymore or have better/comparable alternatives. GCP sucks compared to AWS and Azure, Android has more freedom than iOS but feels developmentally behind on most fronts in terms of end user experience. Google Search is now about even with Bing and otherwise privacy focused Search Engines have improved to the point of being viable for most cases. Gmail has let in more spam than ever and there’s a lot of alternatives now as well with bo meaningful improvements coming to it. Maps is still probably the market leader there, but more competition in this space too. Google harvests your data to an extreme amount and consumers are privacy aware than previous generations which adds to the distrust of a target demographic. Lastly Youtube is making the user experience worse with every update. While there is no real alternative right now given the overhead required, there is at least a desire for a good alternative should one ever come about.

Feels like Google is losing on every front and bet the farm that AI will save them. We’ll see I guess.

TheDarkKnight ,

Literally used it for a decade plus until it got so shitty I had to switch.

TheDarkKnight ,

Lol what do you want, proof? Like what is this middle school comeback you’ve formulated?

TheDarkKnight ,

Lineage is cool. It’s an edge case though, and while relevant for folks on Lemmy, it is probably less than 1% of Android users and not really a selling point for the argument that Google is going in the right direction, main point of the post. I do love the project and ran it as my daily for several years, hope it gets more traction.

All google products track you. Don’t use Google products.
