That would really be a pity if somebody would snap those cables when stealing the tailgate.

I'd really prefer to see the perpetrators get jail time.
Any money this guy gets will just be taxpayer dollars and won't deter it from happening again.
Oh dear, if the Tesla vandalists discover this, then we're gonna see a lot of Cybertrucks without tailgates.
Bingo.
The idea that CEO's will put morals over profits is hopelessly naive.
If you want companies to act morally, you need to implement legislation and be willing to enforce that legislation. And not small million dollar fines, serious fines like 10% of revenue and personal liability and even jail time for executives.
But the American public only cares about having the stock market go up. They don't care about their data.
This is also why Occupy Wall Street was initially successful.
But to make it actually work in the US context, you have to avoid the pitfalls of infiltration by the FBI and the need for well known figure heads that can talk to the media.
As for a figure head, AOC, Sanders, Warren or Jasmine Crockett would be a good candidate. Perhaps Cori Bush - she can do this full-time now without worrying about losing an election.
The best would be Obama, but his head is still so stuck up corporate US ass, I don't think he'll do it.
As for infiltration, I think you'd need to leverage old fashioned technology. Web-of-trust, cell based structures, meshtastic.
I was really convinced they'd draw this out for months if not years. And I also expected a 5-4 in favour of Trump, because the court is obviously corrupt.
Really surprised that the ruling came so fast and with 9-0 against Trump.
I guess the US isn't totally fucked yet. SCOTUS still wants to hang on to a thread of dignity.
Correct, so what China does is ship almost completed stuff to Vietnam, they do the final piece of manufacturing and export that.
It's not as easy as a transshipment, but for the longer term it works out.
Good point.
It is curious to see though. Putin owns Trump, but Xi Jinping owns Putin. And both of them have Iran as a key ally.
So I really wonder how this all will play out. Trump talks a lot, but his leash is short.
He will backtrack when new inflation figures hit. It might take 3-6 months, but China definitely has the stronger hand, by far.
Trump can avoid the inflation by allowing Chinese goods to come through countries like Vietnam or Mexico. This is basically the status quo.
It allows Trump to save face without huge inflation for US consumers.
That's what they're trying to do.
It makes most sense to switch the email+office users to Linux and reserve MacOs and Windows for users who really need to run specific applications.
More or less, yes.
Germany and France have been trying this for more than two decades.
But every time, there is pressure from the US government (the stick) and Microsoft arranges a short-term deal to make Windows cheaper than the cost of transitioning (the carrot).
But this time, the EU is serious about decoupling from the US, so I think it will actually happen.
But do you have another candidate in mind?
