Lots of people estimated ~$800 based on the specs and Valve’s statement that it will be priced similar to a comparable PC. But that was several months ago, so probably $900-1000 by now.

“Alleged”? Haven’t we known this for months?

That’s not a problem with taxes that’s a problem with management.

What tangible difference does that make? The two are inseparable.

No tax is objectively fucking stupid

I agree, and wasn’t suggesting such a thing. But when the govt taxes the same money 5 fucking different ways, and use it to perpetrate crimes against humanity, all while the ultra rich pay none of it, it gets real fucking aggravating, and I want to pay as little of it as humanly possible. The 1% could pay the other 99% taxes for them and experience no change in lifestyle at all.

Waymos do try to find somewhere to park too which has also been the subject of stories like

There’s no parking involved in this story.

Yes, thank you for elaborating on my point.

How dare the government steal your money (the same money over and over) to fund genocide and line the pockets of the Trump-Epstein class, under threat of imprisonment.

Weird. Most free things don’t have a “pricing” page, in my experience.

I didn’t see any other video in relation to this.

The first 4 words in this video are “in my previous video…”

Wasn’t his last video about that? There’s no new information?

tldw?

Now do Apple.

Its unrelated to a conversation about the oil industry and lobbyists, obviously, yes.

The degree of automation is not relevant to a discussion about why they’re being kept out of other countries, or anything to do with Big Oil.

Yes, I also read the article.

Same reasons I’m against most taxes.

That would explain Chinese dominance in vehicles in general, not EVs in particular.

Do ya see a bunch of Chinese ICE vehicles running around?

Also, Chinese EV manufacturing facilities are so efficient precisely because they’re so incredibly highly automated

They’re efficient because they have no concept of workers’ rights or IP. Not because they’re a country full of geniuses, and not because Big Oil is keeping them down, regardless of your opinion on China.

Yeah I didn’t say “when they exist”.

These are also not “free as in beer”.

Also your Big Capital has a .Claude file at the top of it and likewise Twenty has .cursor so LOLOLOL no thanks

Let me know when your friendly neighborhood FOSS developer creates a CRM or accounting software that doesn’t cost me more in time to get running and figure out how to use than the paid options.

Huh?

This has very little to do with oil industry lobbyists, and a whole lot to do with the whole world outsourcing their production and labor to a country with no worker protections.
