erwan , 3 days ago to Technology in EVs still have major quality problems, and it’s mostly about the software

I have that in my ICE car and I never use it (map of gas stations correlated with remaining fuel). That's not specific to an EV.

Any of those features can be in a smartphone attached to your dashboard. Sure you have some benefits in accessing the car data, but they are small.

My car (Citroën) has a contact less key, I don't have to get it out of my pocket and the car automatically opens.

But it still includes a small physical key to open the car when the battery (of the car or key) is dead.

Luckily not even the Cybertruck is immune to those

GOOG-411 was created specifically for Google to gather voice samples, with different ages, accents, etc. to train voice recognition. It was never for the sake of providing a service.

In France installing a charger in appartement building is mandatory if the resident asks for it, even if they're renting.

erwan , 12 days ago to Technology in Battery electric vehicles lose their spark in Europe as hybrids steal the show

In France if you have a parking spot, you have a legal right to get a plug there even if you're renting.

It doesn't fix the problem for people with no parking who do only street parking, but people who can't afford a parking spot rarely buy a shiny new EV to start with.

Just buy one if you need. I don't understand people who prefer forced bundles over deciding what to buy.

Unless you think an included charger is free. It's not, it's factored in the price.

Use Firefox if you want but don't donate to Mozilla. Money doesn't go to Firefox development anyway.

Also if they can afford to pay their CEO $3 millions a year, they don't need your donations.

It's probably replacing garbage written by humans that nobody was reading either.

So in this case, garbage content that nobody reads, AI is probably a good idea.

It's still a good joke!

Just read to the top comment saying it's profitable to replace them anyway.

You can deploy open source software or your own apps even on big tech infrastructure, on your own domain.

The problem isn't infrastructure, it's that access to content isn't decentralized any more. Access to content is reliant on Google search or social media algorithms (who decide what to promote).
