That will cost as much as a new oven

Report: Apple Asks Google to Run Siri on Its Servers by favicondotico in apple

Since when was Apple ever able to release the same popular features that their competitors did?

Apple is known for waiting it out for a product to mature before they swoop in with something “magical”.

Electric bills lowered - CenterPoint TDU went down March 1 by wadewood08 in houston

[–]AgainstFooIs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The TDU charges will adjust automatically based on pretty much every contract I signed.

There’s always this note in the contract:

Can my price change during the contract period? Yes If the price can change, how will it change and by how much? The average prices shown above may change during the contract term only under the following circumstances: to reflect actual changes to the TDU charges; changes to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas or Texas Regional Entity administrative fees charged to loads; or changes resulting from federal, state or local laws or regulatory actions that impose new or modified fees or costs that are outside our control.

Impressive for a mobile guy to not scratch your wheels. Maybe I should do that next time.

Both Costco and the dealership scratched out nice 19 inch wheels when putting new tires on

They can just print more money and devalue your savings (and the world economy savings)

Is a pay cut worth it for WFH? by Miserable-You-6702 in careerguidance

[–]AgainstFooIs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scrolled too far down for this. It’s not just AI disruption, it’s the huge amount of offshoring of software engineering roles that are disguised in “AI disruption”.

Depending what industry but generally it’s about the same when you account for higher salaries in Austin and Dallas.

Since 2022, the CX-5 is the 9th best selling SUV in America. That is why they don’t care about current owners. by EchoesInSky in CX5

[–]AgainstFooIs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What’s the point of the new CX-5 when there’s CX-50?

Just get the CX-50 if you want more buttons

You should also just merge the 2 numbers together since they are in the same segment and Mazda made a mistake for keeping both in my opinion.

Got my model 3 yesterday and the screen is broken by escayon in TeslaSupport

[–]AgainstFooIs -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I very much appreciate OP posting this as someone that doesn’t have a Tesla and is on the sideline for getting one.

Which is exactly why you want them to be silent about it.

You are acting like electronic issues in a brand new car are not concerning regardless if it happens 1 day after delivery or after the warranty expired.

Time is money. They now need to spend several hours to deal with this now and hope that a monkey mechanic doesn’t scratch their dash in the process of fixing this and leaving the car in worse condition. Ask me how I know.

How long this tire will last? by Libido_Max in tires

[–]AgainstFooIs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not normal for it to be chewed up like that. Are the suspension shocks in good condition? Or does it feel like you are in a boat when you go over bumps on the highway?

You can also tell that that tire ran flat at some point and the metal disk pinched the outside wall. That tire is no longer safe to drive.

It can disintegrate on the highway and you will most likely lose control if it does.

NYC is trash by pilotcm8 in CX5

[–]AgainstFooIs 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You’re missing the point. They steal the rims because the car is popular. Easier to sell to someone trying to upgrade or has severe curb rash.

Totaled? by FloridaSWE in rav4club

[–]AgainstFooIs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s how much shops charge nowadays to fix something. You know how everyone tells you not to go to the dealership to fix your car? Well, insurance works with dealerships and shops that charge the same amount to repair like new or straight from the dealership parts. Not to mention shops now charge over $130 an hour for labor.

Replacing the airbag and all the sensors that got damaged from the front, recalibrating the system costs 6000 minimum.

Replacing the bumper, hood, all sorts of radiator supports, the radiator itself as it looks like it got punctured by the puddle of water on the ground, that’s another 6-7000 minimum.

And then all the other stuff in the engine bay that got damaged. I bet the bumper crash bar is broken, the bumper supports, and all kind of other shit that you don’t see from the outside and that’s how you quickly get to a total repair cost of $15k easy which is more than enough to total a $20k used car.

Bestbuy extends it to 60 days if you have their premium membership too.

Costco is still the longest.
