Best case scenario would be that the people demand a better democracy. But I doubt they will, because Americans are indoctrinated to think they have the best democracy in the world, when in reality it's a highly dysfunctional democracy. And I suspect only a small percentage of Americans are aware of that.

consoles blow a fuse with each new patch so you can’t load older patches.

Admittedly I was unaware of this, but for consoles it can have a real functional purpose as part of the protection against cheating.

That's part of how shitty the consumer protection really is.
But common for all, there needs to be complaints before the law is involved.

It looks like it, but he hasn't quite won yet.

the truth is what drives everyone to do nothing about it.

The truth is that if Trump wins, USA is a dictatorship, and Americans have in effect lost a lot of the rights and freedoms they used to take for granted.
I think the truth should make people want to fight for democracy and their rights. The longer people wait, the harder it gets. Because the administration is systematically turning all the agencies into fascist wagging tails of the administration.

It's just as illegal as it ever was, but now they are protected as police by FBI and White House.

So are console sold with the possibility of changing the OS, only to have that option removed later? There was some issue with PS3, but apart from that I never heard about it.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Yes, but it's gotten worse for every new republican president beginning with Reagan.

I've been warning about this since before Trump won the election.
But to be honest IDK what to do at this point, except occupy white house and congress.
It seems more and more like either give Trump his way, or prepare for civil war. 😬
I hope your fellow Americans have better ideas. The time to act was before Trump had everything stacked on his side. But maybe he doesn't have that quite yet. And some of the services will side with the people if they act now.
But apparently all the services are now ready to do Trumps bidding. And if true, that means that USA is already a dictatorship.

Republicans have now become the end of USA as we knew it!

It's because they aren't marked as police, but you are right IMO, it should also be legal when police is acting out of control.

Proud boys etc are probably working for ICE now. But I guess that's what you were hinting at.

 

With little innovation and lacking new models, Tesla has decided to cut prices again, this time the price of the model 3 is cut by 10%.

This may be to regain some of the lost marketshare. But it may also be because they simply have too much stock.
Cutting production is expensive, and obviously producing just to stockpile unsold products is expensive too.

I have no doubt that this price cut is an act of desperation, not a result of being competitive. Tesla is losing money no matter if they cut production or they cut the prices or they stock up on unsold product.

Whichever is the case, I had a good laugh that the Swasticars are so hard to sell Tesla has to cut prices yet again, and that's despite inflation.

Allegedly the profitability on a Tesla car was recently estimated at just 2%, so cutting the price by 10% is going to hurt for them.

Here's a link to a story about it by a major news outlet in Denmark:

Anton Gerashchenko on Bluesky story about a strike at a nuclear plant with documentation:

The post contains video from the situation.

As I've been posting many times before, many workers in Russia are behind on payments. People working in factories being 3 months behind is not uncommon.
Anna from Ukraine explains the situation here. She is a good source IMO, because her English is excellent, and being Ukrainian she understands Russian, and makes frequent news updates about the Ukrainian war from various perspectives.

Inside Russia on youtube was first to report on the Russian population beginning to have had enough to a degree they are actually beginning to complain:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoR5_bJywWQ

I've claimed before I don't think Putin will last through the winter, and I see this as the first signs that the Russian people is about to have had enough.
The story reported by Anna and Gerashchenko tells that the workers are at least 2 months behind on wages, they were promised transportation to work, something that is important because of the lack of fuel, and public transport becoming unreliable. But they do not get the promised transportation. They were also promised 1 hot meal per day, but do not receive that either.
Finally in their homes, they are out of water and heat.

This is the economic and infrastructure collapse many have predicted was inevitable, that is now beginning to really show. And it isn't even really winter yet!

PS: The moderators removed my previous post with false accusations, so here it is posted again according to their demands.

FDM warns of errors in several models from Tesla, and FDM has now been successful by the Danish Road Safety Authority. FDM has previously described that there are several cases of significant veil in the rear suspension and in the steering column of the popular Model 3.

The Danish Road Safety Authority has stated that the motorists' interest organization, FDM, rightly did not approve two Tesla Model 3 by sight after the car owners had independently complained about the demand for omsyn.

FDM said in a statement.

In both cases, the sight results were due to "too much veil in bushings in rear-wheel suspension".

However, Tesla found no faults and thought the electric cars should have been approved, which led to complaints and the Traffic Agency's review. Many Teslas have "veil in the bushing"

The agency concludes that the cars had a significant veil and that the vision had been carried out correctly in both cases.

Earlier in the year, the FDM warned that there are many Teslas that have veils in bushings in the rear-wheel suspension and in the steering column. See also FDM comes with call for Tesla owners

Veils in rear suspensions mean that there is a looseness or abnormal movement in the parts that connect the car's rear wheel to the car itself.

This applies to both the Model 3 and Model Y. According to FDM, around 37,000 Model 3 and more than 40,000 Model Y have been registered in Denmark. The error is seen on newer cars

Usually you first see the problem on older cars, which have driven many kilometers, but FDM has seen several models with the error early in the life expectancy of the cars.

It creates doubts about the safety of cars, writes FDM, who has contacted Tesla to get the company to solve the problems. See also Tesla gets fined for flawed marketing

"We expect Tesla to help drivers, as it is not fair that the consumer has an additional cost of repair and possibly overhaul, because the car has a fault it shouldn't have," said Lone Otto, area manager in FDM's technical advice.

At the beginning of the year, FDM said that almost one in four Model 3 from the year 2020, which last year was for inspection, failed - among other things because of veils.

For other electric cars, the dump percentage was nine.

I'm stressing the European parts, because my post from yesterday about Russian losses in Ukraine war was removed as "off topic".
Despite this sub is about:
News and information from Europe 🇪🇺

 

Merz pointed out that the restrictions have been lifted not only on German weapons.

"There are no longer any restrictions on the range of weapons delivered to Ukraine, neither by the UK, France, nor us. There are no restrictions by the US either,"

 

Putin is getting more and more desperate. As he is running out of options, he is just increasing the meat waves!
