Why would you worry about the battery when it has a 8-10y warranty on it on average? The only reason to replace it is if it has a manufacturing problem and that's why there's a warranty. Don't void the warranty and you'll be fine.

You don't have to change the high voltage battery on EV nowadays.

I might be wrong but the fact that they enable the option by default to everyone (but EU it seems) allow themselves to collect all the posts you already made right away.

Turning it off will only prevent them from using your future posts.

So they already have trained their AI with your data. They certainly won't "untrain" it after you switch the option off. You can't unring that bell...

All companies are using this scumbag approach to get your data: auto opt-in everyone, get all existing data then give the illusion that you can opt-out with a useless option.

I hate this

I guess Revanced would eventually have a patch to skip this check. It can already spoof the client and such, why not this as well. I hope so

This Ford patent made me wonder. After looking it up, Ford stated that this technology would be for Ford police cars, not regular Ford cars.

UPDATE 7/31/2024 @ 3:30p ET: After publication, Ford reached out with a statement to clarify that the idea “is specific for application in law enforcement vehicles, such as the Ford Police Interceptor, and it’s a system that would automate a capability that law enforcement already have in use today, except this would utilize the built-in system and sensors in the vehicle. This patent does not state that driving data from customers’ vehicles would be shared with law enforcement, which is what some media have incorrectly reported. And note, patent applications are intended to protect new ideas but aren’t necessarily an indication of new business or product plans.”

Funny that you call them "Nukes". You really don't like the nuclear power plants if you call them the same as nuclear weapons.

Not gonna lie, I thought it was about Internal Combustion Engines at first.

Let's be honest, a fallout outside USA would render the weapons and ammos as rare as Elon Musk's well thought out tweets

I've been boycotting Loblaws since the Amex card gives 4% cashback on groceries

[–] Vakbrain 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Just too expensive for them

Edit: can you imagine being the one that makes the most money, but still too cheap to accept Amex?! Like a millionaire still living in his mom's basement...
