Because we live in reality and there's no such thing as a perfect state

The big issue with autonomous cars are the other cars that are driven by humans. As well as pedestrians and general rules of the road that need to be applied.

In theory drones have problems that are much easier to solve, because there's just less obstacles to deal with.

The big issues will likely be birds, wind, and rain.

MSI isn't great in my experience for fully built stuff, Lenovo is relatively solid in the higher mid range. HP is also good hardware wise usually, at least it seems like they're trying.

For components it depends what you need, gigabyte and asrock mobos are good. GPUs go for Sapphire or Zotac depending on your desired chip, or MSI if those aren't available.

Likely going in for the pedal recall to be completely fair.

Still wild that they managed to fuck that up by using glue and having the metal traction pad slide onto the pedal instead of latching or being crimped or screwed in.

They go through the trouble of having a second motor for the steer by wire in case of a failure, but they can't make a pedal apparently.

Bots and lack of mods on different timezones most likely.

Would probably make sense to have an account age requirement and comment requirement before posting somehow.

I think the idea is that the tech will improve. The flaws aren't features, they're problems to work out.

Yeah but I have a hot dog and you don't

Yeah Telus in Canada has been doing this recently as well. We're just back to cable packages except now you have like 4 different apps to worry about.

The difference from the perspective of the US is that it's spyware from a potentially malicious foreign state. China bans US tech companies as well, TikTok took advantage of the US having a much more open market and the state decided that they were acting in bad faith.

I could be wrong but I remember voting and they actually had it split into two questions. The first was whether you wanted to keep the current system, and the second was if no what system would you prefer. Unfortunately people just decided to stick to what they were familiar with even if it's a flawed system.

EDIT: Double checked and yeah, it was two questions the first of which was whether the system should change or not. 61% of voters opted to keep the existing system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_British_Columbia_electoral_reform_referendum

It's frustrating for sure, I was even more annoyed when we had a referendum in BC and people opted to keep things the same.

Or just let the developer decide what they think fits their game best? Not every product is for every person, and that's fine really. Trying to broaden appeal is good, but you don't want to spread resources so thin that you end up with a mess.
