  • If you're a Tesla owner, employees might be sharing your camera recordings

    Is anyone surprised that people who can work for a psychopathic a-hole are a-holes themselves? The boss a-hole has already crapped out and flushed anyone who isn't his brand of a-holery, and not just in Tesla. He should wind up just like his hero, Nikola Tesla, a con man/hustler with one good idea and a lifetime of bad decisions leaving him alone, friendless, staggering drunk on his own Kool-Aid.
    Can you provide us a list of your accomplishments? I will say 100% certainty you have done little to nothing that is even noteworthy whereas Musk, whom you describe psychopathic a-hole, will remembered as one of the greatest leaders in history:
    • Tesla: Against all odds he created a successful car company and brought EV's to the masses. No other car company has been able to come close to what he has done and they are established manufacturers with everything to make a car in place. They chose to get passed by a newcomer. I still do not have much hope for Ford or GM and Toyota has mostly sat the quest for EV's out. I am not sure how anyone will catch Teslain the near term as he is years ahead and not letting off of the gas.
    • SpaceX: First privately developed liquid-fueled rocket to put a commercial satellite in orbit. First private company to successfully launch, orbit, and recover a spacecraft. First private company to send a spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS). Has rockets that return to their takeoff spot. Prior to SpaceX Lockheed Martin and Boeing sat on fat, competition free contracts with NASA delivering the status quo, with no hope of every doing what Musk did.
    • Starlink: Created a company delivering Internet to numerous area and countries that stood zero change of getting high speed service. The market leader prior to Starlink was Hughes Net which pales in comparison to Starlink even though it is early stage.
    • PayPal: Cofounder.
    • Add in battery production, work on solar and probably some stuff I cannot think of.
    Note that this is more than one good idea. That is four game-changing companies he founded, co-founded or leads. As close to Steve Jobs as anyone has been in a long time. No question his behavior is questionable, but he has gotten results. If you have someone to compare him to please let us all know.
    PayPal wasn’t profitable until after Musk’s departure.

    Musk didn’t create Tesla, he bought his way into it.

    SpaceX is successful despite Musk, not because of him. They actually have someone who’s paid to follow Musk around and make sure he doesn’t do too much damage any time he tries to involve himself with SpaceX. The person who runs SpaceX is Gwynne Shotwell. But of course, as with all of his other ventures, Musk loves to take credit for other people’s work while blaming others for his incompetence.

  • Gravastar Supernova Bluetooth Speaker Review: It's almost perfect

    It looks like something The Doctor would be listening to while kicking it in the TARDIS. I like it. There are plenty of mundane looking speakers that would be at home in a living room, for anybody worried about decor clash.

    According to their website, two Supernovas can be connected to enhance your listening and amplify your music experience. Unfortunately, we only received one to review, so we don't know how well this works.
    The word conspicuous by its absence is stereo. More speakers, more volume, more immersion would certainly enhance the the listening and amplify the music experience.
    Maybe even entertain the neighbors. For $180, I'd want a pair to channel discrete stereo.
    If you go onto the company’s website you’ll see that they do indeed pair into a true stereo pair

  • Flexispot Sit2Go chair review: A must-have for the office

    MacPro said:
    Not that I'd know, cough, but a friend told me her home office Sybian, whatever that is, burns more calories than the FlexiSpot.
    And I’m sure is a lot more pleasurable to use 😉

  • Meta cuts another 10,000 jobs in 'year of efficiency'

    NOW would be a good time for Musk to step in, buy Meta, and show Zuck how it's done!
    They’re not that different. Both of them are falsely thought of as tech geniuses.

    I’m just gonna drop this here (it’s a video about how all these so-called tech geniuses really aren’t)
