A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Great, yet another case of: we want to build cars but "nobody" (a.k.a. everybody except piece of shit investors) wants reliable and inexpensive cars that aren't spying on you.
So we need to unlock money from venture capital / rabid ai hype / insert sketchy bubble here, to build expensive luxury cars with fake self driving while selling all your data completely outside of your control.
I pre-ordered a Slate. This is the only new vehicle you can buy that's not bloated to high hell. The price is still not great but honestly this is one of those situations where I'm prepared to pay more for less.
