It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

To be fair, this is what the future looks like under capitalism.

[–] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 26 points 4 months ago (1 children)

To be fair, three would be no recalls in the future and people will just keep driving the death machines until someone dies.

They'll still love it though

This is typical anti-Tesla propaganda from another short seller.

Where are all the articles writing about the bits that don't fly off while a Cybertruck is barreling down the highway?
Where are all the people talking about the parts that do work on the Cybertruck?
Where is the running count of all the days where there hasn't been a Cybertruck recall?

Discusting!!

I have been seeing more lately in my area, and it is an immediate "get the fuck away from that thing" moment for me.

Saw.my first one a couple days ago. It looked insane and i was glad to see it was turning away from me.

Proud to say I haven't seen one yet but I also live in an environment where an uncoated stainless steel vehicle would literally not make it through a single winter.

Had a friend take their car to a mechanic out west and the guy told me friend he hates to say it but he's pretty sure somebody sold him a vehicle that had been in a flood based on the condition of the underside of it.

My friend bought the car new and just drove it in northeast winters (and the salt associated with them) for 5 years.

Yeah that sounds like the typical car in the greater Buffalo-Rochester area

I’ve noticed this in IoT all the time.

When every game before the DSi had to be ready out the door but every game after could have day zero fixes.

When Windows had to come in one piece because all fixes could only come through service packs.

When your smart fridge needs a firmware update

Etc. Etc.

Capitalism has to work extra hard to keep itself viable

[–] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Even the Mars rovers have day zero patches

[–] dch82@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So they can pull off a mars express error and fixit if they find it inflight?

That would be cool

Each probe has two fully redundant computers so they push to one with prod and one is a fallback. A lot of times the code isn't finished by landing and development happens in flight.

Still love the truck!

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 4 months ago

this truck is a reminder that some people would literally buy anything just to be part of something, kind of sad.

[–] Torenico@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago

Concerning. my-hero

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

And how many sold? Last count I had some weeks back was in low thousands. Did they even do any QA?

[–] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

my-hero masterful gambit, epic sir
