They use this same tactic over and over and I find it surprising that more people don’t immediately recognize what they’re doing.

What innovations are lacking specifically? I dont know of any features unique to Chinese brands. It seems more like you think every company should only be selling EVs for dirt cheap prices, but that isn’t realistic becausw those aren’t real prices and EVs aren’t yet practical for everyone which is why they make up such a small percentage of sales here still (though this number climbs with each quarter).

So you think the entire world’s auto manufacturers outside of China are incompetent and inefficient? People always act like the only vehicles sold in the US are domestic brands when they don’t even make up a majority here.

on Florida woman goes to Crunch Fitness. Then she notices a man in Meta glasses: ‘This is my protection’ in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Sep 2026
I have a hard time believing this story. The woman claims she brought her friend in on a guest pass but then when there’s an issue, that friend’s husband appears in the story out of nowhere and happend to be there working out at the exact same time under his own membership? The claimed over-the-top responses by the manager and the fact that she then deleted her post makes this all very fishy.

on Obama urges Democrats to have a ‘clear plan’ for AI safeguards in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Sep 2026
If these safeguards are anything like their other safeguards, their plan will be to wait for something bad to happen and then publicly comment that “this bad thing shouldn’t be happening” before going back to waiting for the next bad thing to happen.
Seems pretty clear to me.

Flocks only part in this abomination was that it alerted police after scanning the plate. If the cop had entered the plate manually, the outcome would have been the same.

on Flock Camera Tells Cop New Car Didn’t Have Insurance When It Did, Cop Writes Ticket Anyway in c/technology@lemmy.world · 10 Sep 2026
I’ve seen other examples of this in bodycam videos from Georgia on YouTube where Flock wasn’t involved at all. The cops claimed that they only go by what their computers say regardless of whether the person has proof of insurance on hand. In one notable example, a cop stopped an elderly couple at around midnight for the same reason, ignored their proof of insurance, and left them stranded on the side of the road after towing their car. The husband was disabled and couldn’t walk.

on Microsoft executive vice president bemoans employees sending him "AI slop," saying "This is a doom loop." in c/technology@lemmy.world · 8 Sep 2026
We were recently forced to take AI training at work and this was exactly one of the training scenarios used, a financial analyst who needs to send a report to the CFO could just dump all the documents into Gemini and send the output out so that they didnt have to spend any time actually reading the corporate financial reports. I was horrified when I heard it but apparently we’re all supposed to have faith in our new AI overlords and put the pedal to the metal accelerating toward iur own demise.

on Auto Companies Call For Ban On Chinese-Made Cars in c/technology@lemmy.world · 6 Sep 2026
The US auto industry is so much more vast than US companies. We only have a few remaining ones, but everyone pretends like American brands are all that exist here in discussions like this.
-
on Auto Companies Call For Ban On Chinese-Made Cars in c/technology@lemmy.world · 6 Sep 2026
So far ahead in what way? We’re talking about powering electric motors not building pico-scale computer processors. The difficult advancements in EVs is with the battery technology and battery technology is not specific to EVs themselves. We’ve been building cars for over a hundred years at this point so the rest of the car building process is already well established here.

on US to announce sharply lower vehicle fuel economy requirements in c/technology@lemmy.world · 4 Sep 2026
When were those vehicles the best sellers in the world? The Toyota Corolla is the best selling vehicle in the world and has been since 2005 and most years prior to that dating all the way back to the 1970s. Ford did take the top spot with the Escort but that was in 1983.

Just because the copyright system has been perverted and bastardized by regulatory capture doesn’t mean the concept of copyright is bad. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

If we didnt have copyright laws then the wealthy would just copy everyone’s good ideas and ensure the people who created those ideas get little to nothing, like Amazon making their own versions of every popular item and selling it for less than the original product.

No they didn’t. Your link, that you didnt even read, qualifies things immediately with Ford’s total sales in the EU only. In reality, the best selling sedan, in both the US and world, has been Japanese every year for the last several decades.

Ford stopped selling sedans because they couldn’t build good ones to outcompete the Japanese and SK brands economy wise or German/Japanese luxury and performance wise. It isnt because people want worse gas mileage.

on Comcast turns your Xfinity WiFi into a home motion detector in c/technology@lemmy.world · 24 Aug 2026
The clue is the last line of their comment where they say they have a competitor offering 10Gbps which is why Comcast removed the data cap in their area. AFAIK it’s still in place where I’m at because the only other option is CenturyLink 100mbps DSL.
-

They’ve changed it since covid so now if you use their modem/router combo, you get unlimited data for free. If you don’t use their modem and router, you have to pay $30/mo to remove the data caps or keep yourself under 1.2TB for the month.

I can tell you didn’t read the article if you think it only discusses a single incident. Odd how you can so enthusiastically claim that it’s just overblown nonsense without even reading it. Sounds exactly like the doctor here making claims about something they even didn’t read or verify.

on YouTube now requires creators to have twice as many watch hours to start earning money in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Aug 2026
Yeah almost everybody starts from zero but the thing that boosts them up from that is typically the algorithm or ‘winning the lottery’ with some video that goes viral on other platforms. Imagine starting a band with your buddies for fun but you’re forced to play shows every week at the local bar for no pay. If you don’t see a return from that at some point, most would give up before long. I watch a lot of automotive youtubers who start out working on cars in their garage and a few have blown up big while most, at a certain point, just stop uploading or maybe upload once every 6 months before trying again and quitting again. Even ChrisFix with his tens of millions of subs has basically given up (though I think his situation is different where he can just coast off merch sales and revenue from past videos).

on YouTube now requires creators to have twice as many watch hours to start earning money in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Aug 2026
In short, if you are a content creator on YouTube, do it for the love of your hobby and make money with your day job.
The problem with this is that if you want to get any exposure you have to keep the algorithm happy and the algorithm wants consistent release schedules which means you’ll always have that hanging over your shoulder and fucking up once means nobody will ever see your video in the sea of millions of other videos. It’s an absolute meat grinder which is why so many channels fade out and why people try to do it full time.
Sure you can upload as a hobby but if people aren’t watching it, why go through all the trouble?

More likely is that these companies will just update their models to identify these vehicles once again. Furthermore, patterns like this make the car really stand out from the crowd which is a terrible way to disguise yourself.

on Take-Two CEO Says We'll All Be Streaming Our Games In 3 Years in c/games@lemmy.world · 10 Aug 2026
Of course, but that isn’t going to drive consumer demand in a good direction and studios are already shutting down left and right.
They don’t need to switch to a streaming model in order to charge subscription fees, and streaming isn’t going to bring any benefit to the player (and comes with huge drawbacks if, for example, you have shitty internet speeds or data caps), so again I’ll ask why? It’s just adding tons of unnecessary bandwidth usage over the current model but offers no benefit that I can see to anyone involved.
