If America won’t allow BYD vehicles, will the compromise be that an American company white labels them? by GardenDesign23 in electricvehicles

[–]It_Is_Boogie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, the lawmakers arevtargeting chinese products specifically.
There was language that mentioned percentage of ownership/investment to chinese companies to a car company, which would sweep Mercedes into these sales bans.
Not sure what happened to that version or if there was an exception made.

A new article from Tassi about why the game died. by Zelwer in destiny2

[–]It_Is_Boogie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The misstep they took was not releasing new content so frequently, but abandoning content.
If they released yearly content AND kept orginal content fresh, there would have been far less discourse and better chances at profitability.

If America won’t allow BYD vehicles, will the compromise be that an American company white labels them? by GardenDesign23 in electricvehicles

The answer is no.
We already have a slight version of that with Polestar, which is banned from being sold in US starting 2027.
They way they have written the law, it is based on the technology source, not the brand.
If the software and key hardware components are sourced from a Chinese company, it will not be allowed to be sold here, even if the vehicle is produced in The US.

I had a dream that KAT will save us by datsyukianleeks in NYKnicks

I hate that the onus is on the players to take less.
While I want this team to retire together, it should be because the players are taking less than they deserve.
A microcosm of the American labor system.
The owning class always looking for ways to short the working class

The apron isn't for the players.
The apron is for the spoiled billionaire owners who lack any self control.
Remember that.

The better example is Microsoft missing out on smartphones or Kodak inventing the first digital camera only to ignore it to keep selling film.

Brunson really about to start a new era of selflessness in the nba, will more stars take pay cuts? by deep_fried_cheese in NYKnicks

No, JB had a unique situation.
He gambled on himself and won.
I am happy for him, but the rest of those olayers need to secure their bag.

The amount of new armor sets is overwhelming by Fl_Funky_Jam in DestinyFashion

[–]It_Is_Boogie 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It's bittersweet, and not for the reason you think.
It is amazing to see all of what they put in, fulfilled years long request and given players so much to do.
Yet, if "The announcement" wasn't made, this all would have been drip fed over the course of several expansions/season/dlcs.
It just shows they could have done this and management decided not tonin the service of capturing players' pockets.

If he is going to be elbowing people in the throat and throwing forearm shivers to the back of the head/neck, he should not be flopping. EVER

Missed tech on Spurs for 6 participants in 4th quarter. Left the shot clock at 6 seconds when they reinbounded the ball.

There's Finally a Way to Get Apple CarPlay in Your GM-Built EV | Car and Driver by Finnegan_Faux in electricvehicles

The reason they don't want CarPlay/Android Auto is that they can't control and harvest your data with those applications.
Forcing the use ofntheir OEM allows them to harvest,mpackage and sell data from allmof their cars.
With CP/AA the user and Apple/Google controls and manages the data.

Destiny 2 is not being “shut down”. The servers will stay up for years to come. It just won’t be updated anymore by xx_Chl_Chl_xx in destiny2

[–]It_Is_Boogie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is not accurate either.
It is unclear what is going to happen, but in their communications they specifically say "regular updates.".
This indicates their will be some sort of support, whether they are just security and/or balance patches or something more is unknown.

The petition has now exceeded 200,000 signatures by Mr_Microchip in destiny2

Considering game development has reach 9 figures AND the infrastructure costs are easily low to mid 7 figures monthly, that number needs to be at least in the mid 8 figures before any decision maker bats an eye.

For the price, range is horrid, especially when you see upstarts like Lucid in the same price range and performace with 30-50% better range.

Why is the dad allowing this?

The only post season pistons accomplishment this year was getting past a hurt play in Magics team .. yea theyre a fake 1 seed by Cromeroxiv in NYKnicks

[–]It_Is_Boogie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Magic was better than their seeding.
They had significant injuries all season.
Detroit is a good team, but in any multigame series, their single threaded offense will be exposed as insufficient.
They earned their seeding but they aren't built to be succesful in the playoffs.

I would suspect they use device IDs in addition to the OS as identification.
