Don't buy stuff from a con man

It's a rude awakening for Thakker, who may have bought into the Cybetruck's various security features

May?
They don’t know? They didn’t, like, ask him?

Oh. They wrote an article about a Facebook post without any follow-up questions.
Modern ‘journalism.’

Imagine if you subscribed to a YouTuber and they had good content. You subscribe to their patreon. At some point later, they take on a bunch of sponsorships, and eventually they just become a corporate mouthpiece for their sponsors. Then their entire channel just gets bought by the corporation and is ran as a corporate social media account. At what point would you cancel your Patreon subscription? Would you say that refusing to pay that YouTuber for their videos means that you have a part to play in the process whereby they ultimately ended up as a corporate social media account?

Because that is ultimately what happened with the media, in my opinion.

I think you have a conclusion that you’re arguing towards rather than letting observations draw you to a conclusion. Here’s a link to an article you might find interesting - https://archive.org/details/sim_columbia-journalism-review_july-august-1998_37_2/page/n29/mode/2up

The media sold out loooong before the Internet took off. They’re entirely to blame for the position that they’re in. And they’re, at least partially, to blame for the state of modern society.

I hope the Kia Boyz take notice

Pete_topkevinbottom@lemmy.world · 26 pts · 2y (5 replies)

I don't even think the Kia Boyz would be caught in a cyber truck. And that's saying something

distantsounds@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 2y

Could be fun for few minutes I’m sure

bizzle@lemmy.world · -18 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Still better build quality than a Kia lmfao

barsquid@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 1y

Kias can make it through car washes though.

PS1 cars had more polygons, this is something out of an early 3D experiment for the MS-DOS.

What game is this?

Mango@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Final Fantasy 8. The best Final Fantasy.

kiljoy@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I never picked that one up because of the upgrade system I think it is? Maybe I will give it another shot.

Mango@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

It's great once you get it. Draw lots of magic to junction to stats. GF assigned to your character enable the junctioning. Remember to tell your GFs to learn stuff.

I recommend following a missables guide at least for GF draws.

Oh, he shattered the window and peeled it down. I was picturing peeling the whole side of the vehicle down.

Badeendje@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1y

Not the whole side, but several high end German cars in our neighborhood where attacked with a can opener to access the wiring to the alarm. Once that is off the car is gutted. Steering wheel, center console, dash.. everything gone. While on your driveway.

SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 1y

Just take a comically large tuna can opener and peel it like a can lid

But if you've been following the development of the Cybertruck, the glass window's failure does not come as a huge surprise.

That right there is the best sentence in the article

Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 1y

Okay, everybody! Who wants some fresh, hot brain implants?! Line up!

Jimmycakes@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 1y

Well he also shattered the window with a crowbar and the bullet proof sticker or whatever kept it together instead of a million pieces. It's actually a win for cyber truck the fail is the alarm didn't go off and there was no notification to the owner. Window peel is the least interesting part of the story.

Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 10 pts · 1y

The burglar then peeled down the window and reached inside for an unattended backpack…

I don’t care what kind of vehicle you drive - if you leave thief-bait in plain view, don’t be surprised when your shit gets broken into.

TBF all cars are susceptible to broken windows

Vigge93@lemmy.world · 32 pts · 2y (4 replies)

Not without the alarm going off

ZJBlank@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Not necessarily true, most alarms only go off when a door is opened. If they break a window to open the door from the inside the alarm will sound, but if they break the window and leave the door shut: silence.

Source: multiple cars broken into this way outside my apartment building, not one alarm went off

Ghoelian@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 1y (2 replies)

I thought those alarms were mainly triggered by movement? Every time I've been on a ferry with a car they tell everyone to turn their alarms off for that reason.

IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

I used to have an Audi. It had a button that you could press to disable its motion sensor.

ZJBlank@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

From what I’ve read, some cars do have movement/shock sensors, but they can be defeated by breaking the window in such a way as to cause minimal vibration to the vehicle, like a spring-loaded glass breaker. The guy who broke into my neighbour’s car took a metal rod or something, stuck it down between the glass and the dew wiper, and pulled back, putting pressure on the bit of tempered glass inside the door and causing it to shatter.

ColdWater@lemmy.ca · 10 pts · 2y

But it takes more effort and make more noise to break cat windows than "peeling" it

BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee · 6 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Sure, but a 100.000 dollar car that is sold as a bulletproof car that can drive over other cars in an apocalypse?

He didn't use a bullet.

Cybertruck is only cool and practical in Fortnite

CubitOom@infosec.pub · 10 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Isn't the car not actually driveable or something in Fortnite?

wazoobonkerbrain@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 2y

It drives for up to four hours before suffering a mechanical fault, then you have to get it towed and wait six months for repairs. The game is hyper realistic.
