If I'm in the bedroom, I may want my ceiling lights on if someone is in there if it's dark outside, but if my wife and I are in bed, then only turn on the baseboard lights, at 1% brightness when someone is still in bed. Presence sensors aren't that fine grained, and I certainly don't want to wake up my wife when this old fart gets up to go pee again. She's grumpy when awakened. 🤣

Banning something is not the market regulating itself. That's outside forces regulating the market...

Yes please. Can't be much worse than what we have now.

I'm predicting they build it in just 2 or 3 cities, then quit.

Again.

Pontiac was a part of GM, who standardized most parts across all their brands decades ago.

There's no parent company for Tesla.

No. There were design similarities, but it was basically a Mazda MX-6. Which I also owned later. That one tried to kill me with fire.

The car I had in high school is absurdly rare these days.

I had a 1989 Ford Probe.

Oh no. They'll have to use Linux! A few billion new people using it would certainly bump it up a notch or 4.

Set or change alarms, add reminders to your calendar, ask about those things, send text messages, start phone calls, have it read out last text messages received.

When I was a truck driver, my wife could test me, and I could just listen to a transcript of what she sent instead of calling her and asking what she typed.

"Hey Google, read my last text"

"Hey Google, send a text to , 'Quit texting me while I'm driving, woman!" Stuff like that. 🤣

I read this in an orange accent.

How dare they make a profit!? It's only the whole reason they're in business after all..

Ever notice that it's the governments that shoot people for not buying what they sell?

You can see the US federal government imploding at this very moment, all because one side or the other takes power, and your first thought is to give them power of control over your Internet services??

Just...wow.

Guess it's ok when governments leave debris by shooting at satellites, but not when businesses do?

Weird.
