Even better, a group should cut down several dozen of them and mount them all on poles outside his house during the night, so that he wakes up to them in the morning. No vandalism, no violence, no threats, just a blunt statement that the media couldn’t possibly ignore.
Heck, no need to even risk collecting that many real ones. I hear there’s some fairly decent 3D printed fakes available.
“All we need is some guardrails… and then some guardrails for the guardrails… and some guardrails for those guardrails… it’ll be fine, swearsies.”
Care to tell me where that gullible userbase is coming from?
They’re not all gullible. A lot of VC types are obsessive gamblers, they’ll throw money at anything that sounds like it might have a high return.
Pray, tell - what do they come for?
That’s where the marketing comes in. Elon is pretty good at selling these big ideas, making them sound futuristic and world-changing. He not only sells those ideas to VCs, but also to the government. A lot of his businesses have pulled in substantial government contract money. The public rarely gets any return from those tax dollars.
It’s in the FAQs.
It comes with 30 days of support, after that they charge rent.
I’m not “comparing on hardware”, because there is no comparison. This hardware is trash. It’s a paperweight.
The WiFI router your ISP gives you with your service probably has more compute power. Which is what this company should be doing, giving this computer away for free with the support subscription.
Hmm…
A Celeron quad core? Two GB of RAM?! 32GB hard drive? a 1.0MP camera?!
FOR $1300?! US dollars?
WOW! is right, as in “Wow, what a racket”.
This is a joke, right? This is a joke product. These hardware specs were laughable in 2010. This system would’ve struggled to run XP SP3. Did they pull these computers from the dead husk of Circuit City? Where did they even find a 1.0MP camera module at?
If that’s not a joke it’s highway robbery. For that kind of money it better stop bullets, fold my laundry, and make coffee before I ask for it.
This computer isn’t worth $130. In fact it’s not worth $13. They should be paying people to take this hardware from them, for scrap.

A lot of it has to do with over-promising and under-delivering. The rest is marketing.
do you feed it all the information about the history and mission of the company, along with the current financials and the relevant societal and industry trends, as well as the information necessary to understand company personnel relationships and the rivalry/cooperation with other local businesses?
Yes and then you give it all of the top-level credentials, access to all the company’s proprietary information, and all of the bank accounts and company credit cards.
Nothing could possibly go wrong.
She was SYN flooded, if y’know what I mean…

I’m not sure if I’ve been enlightened, or the opposite.
It’s nice to see that Larry is enjoying his retirement…
Is Italian brainrot distinct from other forms?
Hmm…
Not bad, I guess. At least if I’m in my own city, we’re pretty set, food and water are both being produced onboard. I guess I’m a bird person now?
Do you have access to magic? Because if you’re just a normal person in a medieval world you have a pretty high chance of dying from an infection from some random small injury, and never mind the monsters or whatever.
Alternatively, if you are an NPC with plot armor you’re probably good.
That’s worse, not better. Ignorance of the danger is not an advantage.
What a weird policy decision. I don’t think the Fediverse needs artificial scarcity or austerity.
Then you provide the enemy with ammunition.
They claim that the purpose of the cameras is to prevent crime, and that the people who oppose them are violent extremists. They’ve even tried to label deflock.me as a terrorist organization.
Don’t provide the enemy with ammunition.
