    On my way home from school today I saw a 2010-ish Volvo s60 with a V8 badge on the grille, is that an aftermarket thing or could you get a Volvo V8 from the factory?

    Or you are dead, remember the Therac-25 accidents
    The only way to make computerized vehicles less bad is to use free and open source software so the vehicles are as transparent as purely mechanical vehicles
    AI is just a buzzword nowadays, even the "CPU players" and "bots" on video games are now called "AI"

    The truth is to reduce size per device so more units can be loaded per truck, thus lowering cost means higher net profit. Apple is notoriously bad for it's anti-repair practices, like serialize parts so if you swap screen or battery the device will deliberately break unless you know how to crack the "calibration" software.

    "Artificial intelligence" can technically apply to those CPU/Bots. Some games have it so they learn based on what you do and how to counter your habits. This is a (albeit primitive) form of AI.
    That's a load of crap. It would be like having a car and then having to buy a new car when you replace the oil filter. :mad:

    My dad worked at Apple in the refunds department a while ago... he'll never buy an apple anything again.

    I’ll just leave this here…

    The thumbnail looks more like a Model A than a T… that should be an indication of the quality of the video. Check the comments.

    Little fun fact of the day :

    In the mid-late 70's , and for a (very) short Time , the top 3 Biggest car brand in the World were :

    1st. Ford, with their EU divisions , Lincoln and Mercury (and Merkur too ?)

    2nd. GM with Pontiac, Chevy , Buick , oldsmobile, Opel , vauxhall, etc...


    And the third place , wasn't Chrysler, or Volkswagen. It's *drum sound effect*......... Peugeot .


    Yes , the most passive brand , that Never made anything crazy , was the 3rd leading brand in the World , behind the americans.



    Hope you enjoyed that

    There's that famous argument of " it's french"

    There's also bro thinking that french brands left the market because nobody brought them because they suck


    And then ,i think his pfp tells the third reason


    Those are all the arguments used by the average American (car enthusiast)
