An EV engineer friend of mine said that this is specifically the Hertz Teslas because Tesla parts are expensive and sometimes hard to get. So when a Tesla breaks, they sell it rather than repair it.

I rented a Bolt EV from Hertz once. The car was fine, but the charging stations in the area were mostly broken, or they required downloading an app and giving personal information to charge.
I got the feeling the charging networks are all about collecting government incentives and the sale of private information from subscribers, and not at all about service.
My new preferred rental car is no rental car at all.
Ohm my god, right‽
What does “connected experiences” mean?
You think the culture wars over pronouns have been bad, wait until the machines start a war over prepositions!
I think commercial social media does a lot of subtle things to “drive engagement” that I don’t think fediverse instances are doing. Like a sort of gamification of getting likes and followers and of course the algorithms that show us things that provoke our emotions.
Reading and participating here is a lot more relaxed feeling than I’ve had on profit-driven social media sites.
Long ago “drive” meant urging an animal to move forward. And “dialing” a phone number meant entering the “digits” by turning a rotary dial with your digits.
Words aren’t as static as you seem to think.

I didn't read it, but my first thought was they trained it to associate speech patterns with wealth and/or education, which correlates with diabetes for all the usually reasons in the US health non-care system.
Edit: I'm probably wrong:
The scientists analysed more than 18,000 recordings and 14 acoustic features for differences between those who had diabetes and those who did not.
They looked at a number of vocal features, like changes in pitch and intensity that cannot be perceived by the human ear.
I'm going to go look for an update on DeepSqueak…

Wait comma did you dictate this comment?

I’m sure some lawyers made/will make some serious money.
Sad that the rover hasn’t woken up yet this season. I hope it does.
No manufacturers can make a dishwasher that lasts 18 months anymore. And they don’t make replacement parts. I’m not in any hurry to add another hunk of electronic junk to my home.
Recently our county sheriff put out an Amber Alert (a forced alert on all mobile devices) but the obfuscated link resolved to Twitter.
I wonder what portion of the public saw the Twitter login page and just closed the tab, never to see the details of the child abduction.
