And GM was never one to understand electricity. They make the worst wiring harnesses, do stupid shit like mounting computer modules next to the HVAC core where large heat/cold changes happen leading to corrosion. They don't use the right metals in even bulbs/sockets, so it looks like you have a burned out tail light and, lo and behold, it's just galvanic corrosion.
It is amazing they managed to get an EV to leave the lab, let alone assembly line.
Most recent old ep I saw that I remember, there was a chloroform store with bottles of chloroform, up close, they each had a scribbled "chloroform" label on them, but they edited and lazily scribbled out the word on the bottles with a slightly different color at that, except for one angle when Homer's holding a bottle and they didn't scribble out the edge. Not the best example, just can't recall others. Scenes are completely cut, edited, removed.
Other shows have similar, there was an American Dad ep from the early seasons on replay now, news headline in the intro credits said a pro-union joke and they just whiteboxed over the headline.
Not that it's a new concept for them, apparently the original The Santa Clause movie had a 1-800-SPANK-ME joke I recall hearing as a young, that they edited out on the second VHS run of the movie and all subsequent runs.
J.D. Power awards are bought. Say company A wants an award, surveys are sent out, then the answer data is "massaged" until there is something to "win" at. Then Company A is "best in first flavored circuit board on a Wednesday."
A real world example: GM always "winning" the first initial quality award, which is something based on how the buyer of a new car likes their car in the first 90 days of ownership. 3 months is a meaningless amount of time for a car.
T-Mobile has definitely improved, but those awards are meaningless.
They just dangle the AGI carrot to justify their wanton destruction of everything.
Bored tech bros are in a "war" building datacenters until someone "loses" and to the victors go the spoils.
Meanwhile, they're shredding the rest of the economy so they will have no customers to buy their products when the "war" is over.
Really hope this bubble pops soon.
Disney constantly edits old TV shows. Episodes of the Simpsons are slowly being sanitized of "bad" things, for example.
iPhone user, so no long screenshot capability except in Safari. Among other issues...
A dying Egyptian Pharoah wanting to fill his tomb with baubles.
Bigger would be leveraging Android System SafetyCore or iOS mediaanalysisd to stalk-spy on the contents of everyone's phones on-demand for the State. The software is already there, and on both platforms have deep entitlements..
Check too, to see if any of the tickets you use can just be presented as a QR code or e-mail. Requiring apps for simple things like that is so stupid, in general.
Allegedly. But they are also looking at a Qualcomm chipset too, allegedly. Qualcomm is a US military contractor.
Gamification of reviews is one of the biggest reasons for CI/CD existing. Releasing pointless version bumps with no code changes on most apps. The whole update psychology needs to change, in general.
Their deluded vision is that they think the traditional user interface is going away. Rather than interact with a machine, you'll just be walking around, sipping coffee, having thoughtful conversations with a bot laughing along with your jokes as it writes your letter and does your taxes.
