Jalopnik is a side gig for him, he has his own business where he helps people buy cars. I’d imagine that’s far more lucrative than writing here.

If I had to guess the next gen hardware is likely designed for features only available in the new car. The older vehicle platform likely had a bunch of hacks added by Uber to make the autonomy system play nice with the stock vehicle. The new vehicle probably has better interfaces for steering, throttle, brake control,…

They obviously forgot to install the Illudium Q36 Explosive Space Modulator 

Definitely based on a 3rd generation Honda Accord (from a market that used the conventional headlights). The front and rear bumpers are identical, the headlights are the same shape, the grill and hood match, and the indent across the side of the car matches where the plastic trim would go on the Accord. The roughness…

I also love when japanese games or media just don’t give a shit and have a Japanese actor attempt to speak english as an american.

The intent was to prevent police from pulling over black people.. It also prevents police from pulling people over who have brake lights out, and for a bunch of other reasons.

Nabbed an FE a while back.

To be clear, you’re saying that in the case of a sleeve that shows the tattoos she has a grievance, but in the case of the video game, she shouldn’t have rights?

That’s where I come down on it, since the sleeve is reproducing the art for the art’s sake (because he’s popular sure, but the point is the art), whereas the…

I’ve never once considered (nor have I seen anyone else consider) the possibility of the cloning machine not working. I think the trick in essence is the simplicity of the reveal of what had occurred with Bale’s characters. We follow Jackman’s character around while he obsesses over Bale’s, first because of his…

To build upon the unimportance of the machine actually functioning, Tesla makes a real, effective cloning machine and Hugh Jackman is so caught up in one-upping Christian Bale that he uses it for magic tricks instead of...I dunno, ANYTHING YOU COULD USE A CLONING MACHINE FOR that would be infinitely more lucrative and…

I think the ultimate “trick” of The Prestige is convincing you it’s a movie about magic. When I first saw the movie I was really kinda let down but then when I revisited it...it’s really about obsession. Tesla’s machine worked, just not in the way anyone wanted. But the important point isn’t that the machine…

3, going on 4, years old and only a 27% depreciation on a luxury SUV/van that pretty much continually gets new hardware updates every model year (not even including that the original owner got the $7,500 tax break)? Just get the new one at this point and get longer range / better performance for 27% more money with a…

Interesting, even tempting, BUT I’m going with No Dice.

Without active safety systems, roadway safety is determined by individual behavior and skill. That’s a problem when you have tens of millions of individual drivers, each with different driving behaviors and skills.

The Kona ad is clearly targeted at parents, to convince them to buy a (new) car with these features for their sure-to-be-distracted-while-driving kids.

Who would pay that for a 1 TB NVMe 4.0 SSD? Pretty much anyone that wants to buy one, because that is about the going rate for it. I’m pretty sure that’s the spec PS5 requires as well.

Basic SSDs, maybe. But not NVMe 4.0 specced drives.  Your average budget drive you found on Amazon isn’t going to meet the performance requirements.

PS5 is in a similar boat. You’ll need to get certified SSD drives that are compatible with the PS5. I’d expect to pay around the same price to add an extra 1TB to the PS5. 

NVMe SSDs with 1TB that support PCI3 4.0 are pretty much as expensive as this card.
