Doesn’t Ford mostly focuss on the American market these days? They don’t make reasonably sized or affordable cars anymore, only oversized pickups and SUVs, which don’t sell well outside of North America.

Meanwhile BYD has the Chinese market already, and is expanding globally, selling relatively affordable EVs.
I’m not exactly surprised that they are outselling Ford

It is not disabled yet, but they will be resticting age gated channels by the end of the month to anyone who hasn’t provided them with a copy of their ID

Worth noting that Discord had a pretty bad data leak a few months back, where it turned out the ID verification company they hired was not deleting the IDs after they were checked

Edit: I’m not completely against the idea of age checks for adult content, but it needs to be implemented in a transpatent manner, and the verification should be non-traceable.

The EU appears to be working on a pretty solid solution as part of their digital wallet.
But that is not what Discord is using.

Edit 2: Added some relevant links

Streaming is progress in terms of convenience, but the trade-off is a lower image quality and forgoing ownership of the media you buy/consume.

These days I buy Blurays and rip them to my Jellyfin server. Worth it for me, but I would hardly call that process convenient.

I think that is incorrect. They discontinued the model X and model S, meaning they are only going to focus on the model 3 and model Y (which are their better selling models)

Is the way the people of Greenland are responding to America threatening to invade their country really news? Think that one over in your head for a minute.

I made a joke with my friends in 2024, back when Harris was announced to be the presidential candidate for the Democratic party

Facism or woman, which way Western man?

Turns out America chose fascism

Those who didn’t vote in the 2024 election are equally culpable to the Trumpoids in my eyes. It was very clear what Trump stood for, yet they didn’t bother to go out and vote against fascism.

“surprised”

I’m still using a DDR3 system for my home server, so I wouldn’t call it exactly useless.
It runs on my old computer hardware, with an Intel i5-4670k and 16 GB of RAM.

For anything that doesn’t need to be the most performant, it could be a decent way to save some money on the RAM at the moment.

Probably best to make a report, that way they see it.

Even the NOS didn’t really spend a lot of attention on it. I only really saw one or two articles on the topic.
That’s nothing compared to, for example, the row with China over Nexperia that has been brewing over the past two months.

Most people aren’t cheering that we are rearming, but they understand that it is a necessary evil.

Russia is right at our doorsteps and is increasingly aggressive. So we either rearm in the hope that that threat keeps Russia at bay, or we don’t and will hopelessly lose if Russia invades.

Personally I prefer the first option.

At this moment they are discussing doing that, but that does not mean it has already passed or is going to pass

I believe the point is not to replace the existing carreer soldiers, but to train up part of the population to increase the size of your reserve forces.

That way, if war were to break out, you have a pool of trained civilians to draw from until you finish training your new recruits.

Fire the trade bazooka!
Quality news headline right there

Expect more to follow. America is clearly showing that they cannot be trusted as an ally, so countries are going to make the calculation whether it might just be better to align with China instead

Haven’t we always been at war with Eurasia?

Okay, but then don’t come crying that your “allies” aren’t helping you the next time y’all decide to invade the Middle East

If you can’t have sex with the sex-machine making machine, what even is the point?

There is a difference between human-scale and humanoid.

Human-scale just means the robot needs to fit in a space where humans should also fit, while humanoid means it is supposed to resemble a humans not just in size, but also in shape. A humanoid robot would generally have a torso, two arms, two legs, and probably a head.

As an example, a roomba fits in a human environment but is not humanoid. You could hypothetically make a humanoid robot that is capable of using an ordinary vacuum to vacuum the same space, but it would be significantly more complex and more expensive to do that. A purpose-built roomba is a much more cost-effective solution for cleaning up after humans.
