There are two reasonably good ones, as far as I know - Gabe Newell and Bill Gates.
The rest though... yeah.
The world would be a very different place if every billionaire was anything like those two.

economies of scale
And competition. AFAIK, E Ink Corporation holds all the patents (there's 47 pages of them), so they can ask for as much as they want for the tech.
The same as the M in ATM machine and N in PIN number, V in HIV virus and C in UPC code!
Oh, the dreaded RAS syndrome!.
I'm off to read some DC comics.
They were paying people to try to make them answer the questions correctly because getting an LLM to do what you want it to was excruciatingly difficult just a few years back (and kinda still is).
Especially when what most companies want (factual, accurate, intelligent answers to difficult tasks or questions) is not something LLMs are actually made for (slapping words together using probability in a way that makes a reader to think it might have been written by a human).
But yes. Professional google searcher, just from back in very early 2000's when there were TV quiz shows about people being given a question and trying to find the answer as fast as possible as it was an actual special skill (an sometimes it feels like it still is, judging by how often people ask stupidly simple questions on social media)
If everyone was carrying 150 phones in their pockets, they would probably ban phones as well.
That's one of the downsides of using common battery cells like 18650 or 21700's, you need tens if not hundreds of them in every ebike, each one being a possible point of failure.
I have personal experience of this, thankfully it didn't end up in a fire but just a dead battery pack, all because of one faulty, leaky cell out of 117.
2 men charged with cutting down the beloved Sycamore Gap tree are going on trial in northern England
And the tree in question here was over 150 years old, planted by a man that died back in 1890.
Cut down by two 30-somethings.
Death penalty is an ineffective deterrent mostly because people tend to commit the crimes it's used as a punishment for while not thinking, or caring, about the consequences at all.
Now, forget cutting off the internet, if you'd get the death penalty for getting caught pirating music, it would prove to be a very effective deterrent at stopping it. I guarantee, zero piracy after a few years.
A lot smaller population left to buy the legal media too, though, but hey, no pesky pirates!
4 STRENGTH 4 STAMINA LEATHER BELT! AAAH OOORHG!
None of the anti-tamper measurements that are based on odometer readings would catch this, it simply measures how many revolutions the wheels are doing, multiplies that with a set value depending on the wheel circumference, and increments the odometer value accordingly. For Teslas, that number is 742 revolutions per mile.
If the Tesla software would "accidentally" set itself to lets say 450 revolutions per mile, your odometer would simply start ticking up a mile for every 0.6 miles you actually travel.
The only way to catch that is to use a GPS to measure how far you've actually travelled and do a comparison. Good thing for Tesla, GPS is an extremely rare technology nobody has access to, and with EVs, nobody ever even notices such things as "range" and "distance traveled".
Oh, right. So uh, how exactly did they think they wouldn't get immediately caught..?
It's Oblivion exactly as janky as you remember it, this remaster is a weird mishmash where all the visual rendering is handled by Unreal Engine 5 but the game itself is running using the original engine in the background.
It's even kinda directly compatible with all the old mods, though most will need tiny tweaks to properly function.
So it can kinda be thought of as "Oblivion RTX Remix", if you know that tool.
Sheesh, England sure has some expensive electricity if a solar setup has a 3-4 year payback period even with the amount of rain they see.
