  • Google: "Based on this feedback and our ongoing conversations with the community, we are building a new advanced flow that allows experienced users to accept the risks of installing software that isn’t verified.

    And we will NEVER trust you again because we know you’ll retry this next year or so in a few smaller steps that all have cutesy innocent names that are supposed to lull us in a false sense of security

    Fuck Google, stop paying them for anything, stop using their services wherever possible.














  • Yeah he did, I thought I mentioned it but there is so much to say about this horrible man…

    The Hyperloop thing was never ever going to work as even high schoolers could have seen the long list of practical issues with it, prohibiting it from ever getting even in the direction of being real. It’s a fundamentally flawed project

    Making a (partial) vacuum machine 3-4 meters in diameter and 600km long? Won’t happen, we can’t even do a fraction of a % for that

    Having a 600km tube in the sun will move your endpoints around by hundreds of meters throughout the day due to the metal warming up and expanding

    That same tube will also be warmed up more on the top than the bottom, causing that tube to try and warp itself into a circle

    So you do have your 600km partial vacuum tube? Awesome, now how do you get that pod train in there, or how do you get the people into that train (or out of it) without breaking your vacuum?

    Even with a partial vacuum, when moving that train over 600km will cause a pressure buildup in front of it what will become a problem

    This entire design is a terrorists wet dream. I need one rifle of sufficient force to puncture that metal tube and the next train that comes in will end up hitting a hammer.

    And there is lots more but I will try hard not to make this post too crazy long

    Meanwhile we could have had normal trains but without having a source for it, I do recall reading multiple times that musk didn’t wanted trains because they’d compete with his shitty Tesla cars, and that being the reason why he whipped this up. So now over the past two decades, China has been building railways like there is no tomorrow and now has. Huge network of high speed rail while the US (and Canada, Mexico) have basically and practically nothing. But they have cars, yaaaaaayyyy…







  • Not really.

    Remember that Elmo just lies his ass off almost all the time.

    Over promises and under delivery are such extreme understatements with him, almost everything bhe says is just pure imaginary bullshit

    Lying his ass off literally is the only thing he does well, it made Tesla stocks balloon to being overvalued somewhere in 10-100 times their actual value

    Remember hyperloop, that project that even high schoolers could identify as absolutely dumb? Billions and billions in investment money has been wasted on absolute bullshit that will never work.

    But what about SpaceX, I hear you type?

    Remember how we’d land on Mars in 2018, now 7-8 years ago? Yeah, Elmo is currently at about 1% of that particular promise. Again, it’s not under delivery, it’s just actual plain bullshit
