They absolutely did. I used to pirate all my media 20 years ago, but then streaming became so convenient and relatively cheap that I just didn't bother with it anymore.

Now, they've pretty much pushed me back out to sea with their ever increasing prices and decreasing content that's worth watching. I'm not paying $15-20 per service, when they insist on fragmenting it to hell so I'd need 3-4 subscriptions to watch the things I want.

Likely skilled labour in the beginning so they can intervene and drive/manoeuvre if necessary, and as the tech matures just "button pushers" in the truck, then remote with a single person managing several trucks.

Their bad faith headline is costing them clicks.

Unfortunately it is still a clear net positive for them. Despite some of us actively pushing back against it, most people just click to read.

Why the Clickbaity headline, CNBC?

You clicked it and read the article, so it worked as intended. As long as this shit works, they will continue to do it.

Well that's a big ol' "whoosh" on me then 😅

That does sound more like a user issue than a software issue though

keep your main phone in a secret/secure pocket.

Terrible idea, it will be found with absolute certainty if you're arrested.

Yeah that's not even remotely the same type of sensor used in robotics and autonomous cars. Yes lidar is getting cheaper, but for high detail long range detection they're much more expensive than the case of your iphone example. The iPhone "lidar" is less than useless in an automotive context.

The original roadster is just a lotus Elise with a terrible DIY EV mod thrown in to it.

Those are called "bars" and not bricks, it even says so in your link. So technically it cannot qualify as the world's most expensive brick since it isn't a brick at all.

Can't do that here though

What client are you using? I can browse both upvoted and downvoted comments in Voyager

EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Damn, that seems like a ridiculously large product lineup for such a relatively small niche market.
