Honda says making cheap electric vehicles is too hard, ends deal with GM
  • Kia and Hyundai are the most stolen cars in North America due to missing basic security measures like steering wheel locks and the ability to spoof the key fob with a cell phone. You could also take a Hyundai or Kia that is near it's fob and just drive off in it. There was no proximity shut off until a recent OTA update, and it didn't work on every model

    They're cheap in NA and they're likely to stay that way until they add proper security measures. In response, both State Farm and Allstate have raised insurance rates on Hyundai and Kia made after 2015. They're cheaper because they cut corners, and the end customer foots the bill on the insurance side

  • Trump Tells Supporters ‘Don’t Worry About Voting’ On Election Night
  • Yeesh you really don't know how to keep to a side. Thanks for the props, thanks for saying what I already said, thanks for rehashing what you already said, and thanks for not understanding the point and drawing this out. This whole exchange is unnecessary and has been a waste of my time

  • Trump Tells Supporters ‘Don’t Worry About Voting’ On Election Night
  • That was a lot of words to say what you already said, and I corrected. He didn't lose by a small margin, he lost by electoral votes. Saying he only won or lost by a few thousand votes is wildly inaccurate when it is electoral votes that matter

  • Trump Tells Supporters ‘Don’t Worry About Voting’ On Election Night
  • Those numbers do matter for clarity. Saying he didn't lose by millions blurs the truth. Saying he lost by a few thousand votes is not at all accurate when electoral college votes are the only ones that matter, and adding "in a few swing states," only fuels those stop the steal Maga idiots

  • Trump Tells Supporters ‘Don’t Worry About Voting’ On Election Night
  • While I agree with the sentiment, Trump did lose by millions of votes. There was a 7.61 million vote differential. He also lost the popular vote to Hillary by 2.9 million votes.

    Biden won 81,283,098 votes, or 51.3 percent of the votes cast. He is the first U.S. presidential candidate to have won more than 80 million votes. Trump won 74,222,958 votes, or 46.8 percent of the votes cast. More Americans voted for Hillary Clinton than any other losing presidential candidate in US history.

    Going back further, incumbency aside, there hasn't been a Republican who has won the popular vote since GHW Bush in 1988..35 years ago

  • Not even kind of close. Legal gun owners can be responsible and law abiding citizens, but you know the ones everyone hears about are not that kind of person. Why don't the good and wholesome law abiding gun owners root these people out? Is it because a significant segment of that population shouldn't own guns, even if they say THEY aren't the problem?

    To put it simply.. If you had a Gatling gun on your vehicle, would you have used it by now? Most of us would admittedly say yes. Most of us, given unfettered access and anonymity, would have at least thought about doing something really stupid and illegal if everyone had Gatling guns mounted on their vehicles.

    Most of us would have killed someone if the likelihood of being caught was minimal.. Which is why unfettered and semi anonymous access to firearms is an awful idea

  • It's always been true.
  • You still need science to make the war machine go brrrrrrrrrr or someone else will out-war you. I don't support wat but it does seem that some of humanity's biggest tech breakthroughs have been dude effects of wanting to blow each other up better than the other guys

  • Use of AMD Anti-Lag+ technology in Counter Strike 2 will result in a VAC Ban, Valve confirms
  • I'd buy in to that. You could even do it the way NASCAR does it: here are the specs. You can buy it from us to guarantee you are in compliance, or if you're good enough to replicate this setup you can use your own, but we'll tear down your setup to inspect after every contest. The only changes allowed are peripherals

  • CEO Bobby Kotick will leave Activision Blizzard on January 1, 2024 | Schreier: Kotick will depart after 33 years, employees are "very excited."
  • I paid full price for both Factorio and Skyrim because they are full games that I get to own. No micro transactions, and modding is almost encouraged through Steam. I will never buy another microtransaction game. I will never buy another "subscription based" platform like Xbox. I'm so fucking over not owning the thing I bought

  • In Louisiana, Police Reform Led Directly to a “Torture Warehouse”
  • City of Chicago is 22,000 police officers short of full enforcement. That means the good ones have left and they can't fire the bad ones, and they pay ridiculous salaries because nobody wants to be a cop. That song ain't called "fuck the firemen"

  • Hydrogen vehicles in Denmark left without fuel as all commercial refuelling stations shuttered
  • Toyota is one of the largest auto makers in the history of the world. They're practically their own government, and have more than enough money bankroll a burgeoning technology tree. To say they fucked up by testing a brand new technology and developing it in-house, seemingly on their own until recently (BMW and Mercedes have both joined Toyota in their development process within the last 5 years) is bonkers.

    Any new technology or idea generally has a long road to maturity. You wouldn't say the quest for quantum computing or the unified field theory are complete wastes of time and money when we're discovering things along the way. Hydrogen may not work out for your consumer vehicle, but it absolutely works better than electric for those trans-oceanic container ships and shooting rockets to the moon.
