The stuff you mentioned only matters if people know how to vote in their own best interest, and they don’t. All the Tesla protesters and the AOC crowds likely voted Democrat anyways. Nobody’s mind has changed.

I think that can start to change in the coming months. On April 2 Trump’s full tariffs are going into effect. There will be a retaliatory response from the whole world. But make no mistake. If the election were held again today Trump would still win.

Maybe it’s the “pee pee tapes”. Maybe he got actual pictures from Stormy Daniels proving Trump really does have a small dick. There could be all sorts of skeletons in Trump’s closet that he doesn’t want coming out.

This will be dismissed as AI. Even if everyone knows it happened , after a day of shock the right will get their approved talking points and uncritically adopt them like always do. They’re well trained.

The angle of Trump being personally compromised made sense at some point in time but I have no idea why we still talk about it. At this point it’s nonsense. You can’t comprise someone who can do literally anything with impunity.

I got the head unit changed in my Subaru . In the Subaru, the systems that the Head Unit controls (entertainment system, backup cam, Sat NAV) are totally separate from critical systems. So everything the head unit controls can fail and the car will still work.

And you’re right, there’s an interface/translation layer . In my case the guy used an iDataLink Maestro. It seems the only thing the iDataLink company does provide interfaces that allow head units to talk to car computers, so that the Head unit manufacturers don’t have to bother.

I’m not sure such separation is common in EVs.

It took me longer than I’d like to admit to figure out that this was in fact a good thing.

They trust the cheques to come on time because they always have. They don’t “trust the government” in any broad sense.

They read the room they cared about just fine. They wanted to let rich people know they’ll always go above and beyond for them, and they did.

An older guy said sometimes people would season and bag steaks and keep them submerged in hot tubs in the 80s.

You don’t necessarily need to implement lidar the way Waymo does it with the spinning sensor. IPad Pros have them. Could have at least put a few of these on the front without significantly affecting aesthetics.

Trump literally doesn’t have the ability to shut the fuck up so not sure this is a real option.

Hitler Youth vibes.
