    Our favorite EV goes Mad Max: The 2025 Ioniq 5 XRT

    da faq is your issue? you seem possessed to make commentary on everyone's posts with little regard for the fact that literally no one asked you for your commentary. I take great umbrage to the fact that you keep sticking your "superior" attitude into everyone's lives. On top of which keep...

    Our favorite EV goes Mad Max: The 2025 Ioniq 5 XRT

    well I'm glad you agree with me, this isn't a good off-road vehicle. it seems to be marketed to young, semi-wealthy (or up and coming wealthy), IGers who want to look good in posts, who think they know it all and wish to go off grid (so as long as there's WiFi), or at least think they are, all...

    Our favorite EV goes Mad Max: The 2025 Ioniq 5 XRT

    Awesome! All of those are deep in civilization and all places I did not mention. now try charging at Cape Flattery, up the side of a remote mountain, the Potholes, you know places an OFF ROAD vehicle is being marketed for... Hope that 50-100 mile journey from the charging station to the rough...

    Our favorite EV goes Mad Max: The 2025 Ioniq 5 XRT

    259 mile range is not enough. I live right next to the Olympics (like 30 min from eastern edge) and Mt Rainier and not too far from the Northern Cascades. 259 miles is just not going to cut it, unless you already live right there and have regular and unrestricted access to a charging station.

    AI haters build tarpits to trap and trick AI scrapers that ignore robots.txt

    I beg to differ, the real malware is the AI we found on the way. Respect to Ashley, but we need stories referring to AI as "malware" since it is precisely that. AI acts against everyone else's rules and without consent BY DESIGN. It's creators who are operating in bad faith and at the cost of...

    AI startup founder allegedly faked profits to trick investors, buy fancy houses

    I feel we should start referring to people like this a "tech-oil salesmen" or similar.

    Home Microsoft 365 plans use Copilot AI features as pretext for a price hike

    Heard this was coming over a week ago. Cancelled my subscription. Really only needed it for Word since everyone feels compelled to send me things in Word format. But honestly, I'm so over Microsoft and MS products auto-completing and auto anticipating what I'm trying to do. Seriously 100%...

    Chatbots offer cops the “ultimate out” to spin police reports, expert says

    Until you find out that the manufacturers of the body cams has an AI division and owns stock in the chatbot companies and they are financially incentivized to make equipment that renders "what really happened" and somehow it matches the police report...

    Diamond Shruumz candies suspected of causing second death, FDA reports

    I'm wondering if it actually has 0 to do with "dosing" and more to do with "it sounds like they just threw some mushrooms in there and not really bother to check if all of them were ok to ingest or not". I may have missed it but it sounded like they were adding an artificial psychedelic with...

    Coal pollution is killing people, even when we’re not burning it

    everyone saying, can't they cover it, wash it, etc.... not seeing anyone saying we shouldn't be using it therefore removing the problem altogether.

    Apple’s green bubbles targeted by DOJ in lawsuit over iPhone “monopoly”

    all data I can find says, at best, Apple has a 27% market share and next biggest competitor Samsung has a 25% market share. Combined, they barely scratch over 50%. As monopolies go, that has got to be the smallest and easiest to get out of. meanwhile, my ISP has us locked into a part of their...

    Would chatbots make the same driving decisions as us?

    the "trolley problem" is just a rejected Saw sequel script masquerading as "philosophy" and "thought experiment". same people into it are the same ones that "debate me, bro" all the time.
