Yeah, I’ve thought about this too, but real use cases would be rare and maybe somewhere along highways for long trips, but you’d need a lot of stations in hard to predict locations to make it something people could use. Most of the time a simple recharge at night at the domicile would suffice. Add trying to get battery form factors standardized when companies can’t even agree on a universal charger and challenges to upgrading vehicle frames and design if such a standard was ever adopted and it just seems unsustainable.

Perfect application and apropos name for ‘surge’ pricing

That’s the beauty of it. Just get a new one every two years like every other electronic device and you won’t need to worry about that. Subscription plans will be available.

What don’t they understand about consummate Vs?!

Peak efficiency!

I run projectivity on my shield. I definitely have told people to buy them. There is a reason they still often resell around their original 2019 market price - they’ve maintened their value. For large screen or projectors the proprietary 1080 to 4k upscaling is still unmatched imo. I don’t use mine for gaming, but many gamers still like them for their gaming capabilities as well. If you buy one and don’t like it there’s still a good chance many months later that you can resell at or above what you paid for it too.

What do you propose? I don’t feel like there’s really great options. I still prefer the shield.

Why?

Apple has some serious catching up to do with enshitification on the appletv end. I think they are going to really blow our minds when they finally release a new appleTV. It’s quite overdue and I’m guessing they are cooking up a doozy for us!

My predictions : still don’t fix bit pass audio issue, eliminate ethernet port, crappier remote that still has no back lighting, siri/ appleai is everywhere but only makes things more frustrating, and who knows - maybe ads!!

Shield is very old, but it still works pretty well and unlike apple TV you can have true surround sound with bit pass audio.

I like that approach better. Just like I’d rather know what doesn’t cause cancer in the state of California at this point.

Notice: Those are not my girlfriend’s boobs. I used Photoshop with an AI plug in to make them look fuller.

No thanks mate. Government and anyone selling anything should be held to those standards. If you are an influencer pushing a product for profit that applies to you too.

Musk just pissed as he was going to name one of his kids this.

Still raking in the upvotes though! Reading is for suckers!

This is making the Republicans so nervous.

Not hating on the article as much as hating on you for posting it here you time-waster.

Guessing it’s an ad campaign for a new car company probably.

That or a college design project.

Stunning. This is worth sharing. I looked at some of the sources and the data seems legit. I’d be curious to see any criticisms or challenges as these sorts of estimates are very difficult to make. As far as I can tell it represents the best of our current knowledge though. I was completely floored by the mass of wild animals compared to humans and the amount of livestock. We really need to calm the fuck down!

Was the article translated poorly from Estonian or written by an AI? I had a hell of a time following. Sounded like they are moving away from something you could take a hammer to - ie using patrol car cameras instead of fixed position cameras. But then at the end “As of today, we have decided that the owner of the road (i.e., national or local government in most cases – ed.) will install stationary cameras,” Loigo said"

It’s your take they are moving towards more stationary cameras but with AI installed?

I get it, you don’t want to send the wrong message these days, but seems kind of extreme. Could have just kept it up and added “(except Elon or JD Vance)”
