Cat did a cost to benefit ratio analysis and decided that being good just wasn’t worth it:-P

There is a simple solution: Musk will simply purchase the USA and use that military arsenal as a deterrent.

(/s… maybe)

Unfortunately the buttons are likely still controlled by the central computer rather than having standalone functionality.

When I was a kid if I wanted to turn off the radio I simply hit the “off” button.

Now in my Subaru when I start the car I have to wait for it to wake fully up, while it could be blasting out music very loud (think: if the music when I turned off the vehicle was softer, but now a commercial is the very opposite of soft) until pressing the off button finally thinks through all the ramifications of what it means (in the context of prioritization in relation to other tasks) to actually turn the sound “off”.

I love my car but I definitely prefer the older approach when off = “off”.

So button vs. touchscreen is only part of the underlying set of issues related to computerization and, for some vehicles, the increasing trend towards SAAS.

You either have to purchase special capacitance-enabled globes (like silver) or else take them off for every button press that you want to make. :-(

Hey, a personalized keyboard, neat! 😉

Just look at those eyes - MURDER I SAY! (And how could anyone resist willingly being murdered by such a floofball?:-P)

Oooh, this surely must be a sign of good things to come.

Cats have no patience. This cat is just playing with you, and just so you know, you are about to be murderized here.:-)

How did you not know this already? Well, now the cat has made it clear. (Just so you know, YOU are the pet, the cat is your master, not the other way around)

“only”, ftfy

Within context, it’s usually clear what is meant, e.g. the singular discord that is associated with a Reddit sub/community.

MS bought several good products (then killed them), does that count?

Keeps billionaires wealthy (+ promises that some will trickle downwards)

Yay free plastic! 😅

TIHI (… I think?)

Shatner style: The only thing, about this meme, I can’t stand: is that comma.

And have more floral?

It - we shouldn’t think of it as “she” - was basically liquid metal on top of a metal endoskeleton, controlled by a (fictional ofc) true AGI. So inside the movie, all of that liquid is there to do with as it pleased.

Then the film makers surely did whatever was most cost-effective to engender that illusory effect:-).

Omg I loled so hard at this! 🤣
