  • Having engineering controls like those balls is generally a good idea and promotes safety.

    Unfortunately having a safety indicator be completely unpredictable in appearance (like art) at every different airport, or even every gate at the same airport, not as good of an idea.

    But the real answer is that installing art costs more than $0 and 0 seconds, so nobody making the decisions cares.


  • This saga has moved fast so I don’t blame you, just an FYI Intel has issued a statement saying the microcode update “will” fix all affected CPUs (it won’t, because the damage is physical) and will not be issuing a recall.

    We are witnessing one of the more obvious end-game states of capitalism. Intel continues to state they don’t give a single shit about this issue, and will not do anything about it.

    The corporate nihilism will continue until the collapse. More and more companies will act like this because why does anything matter when we can profit more today?


  • It literally states the program is due to a deformation of the switch, a physical issue.

    I’m sure there are ways to safely engineer around it. I don’t trust any American manufacturer to do so. What guarantee do we have that it won’t continue deforming further after the fix? What happens to the patched sensor software if it does occur?

    Do you unironically trust Musk enough to not open your vehicles hood at 80mph?

    Really not sure why so many people on this post are having trouble understanding that concept. Maybe they want to justify their $80k paperweight lmao.


  • I will never, never get tired of these CHUDdy types self-reporting every time.

    “It has never been shady,” commenting on a post about one of the largest scams of all time lmfao

    Oh yes, it’s just as good as money, it’s a real currency and totally not vapor as long as you act as your own bank and maintain ironclad digital and physical security, never slipping up a single time. Oh and your savings (because this is a currency) are completely uninsured. Totally reasonable asks to make of an average consumer.



  • As someone who slaves away at a company measuring revenue in billions and authorized to procure $1MM per year (seriously, not a humblebrag. Companies shit money)….

    lol. Every company right now is driving straight off a cliff with their foot on the pedal. Who cares about next year when we can squeeze more profit now?

    Welcome to late stage capitalism. Or if you prefer, late stage industrialization. The rulers aren’t as dumb as we like to think. They know nothing will remain of society in 50 years due to climate change and resource scarcity.

    Might as well squeeze it for everything left and f… off to their little apocalypse mansions in geologically stable areas.
