They of course me c-level executives, not us plebians who do actual work.

That's the point though, right? It's all publicity. They don't want to give it to someone who may actually use it. Give it to the billionaire who will never use it so.

a couple of owners decided to race their trucks

in this rather unscientific race

Did you even read the article? The author was very upfront about the context.

You're the type of person that wants everyone to min/max everything and say "yeah but if this had happened" or "if they had done this differently"

Get down off your soapbox and appreciate this for what it was: two owners having a fun race for bragging rights. And if Ford comes out in a better light from it than Tesla, that's not circle jerking over a brand, it's just another anecdote to pile on top of all of the other stories about how piss poor the Cybertruck is at being an actual truck.

Tesla has branded it as a truck. As a layman who isn't a Tesla simp or a motorhead, I would expect a comparison with other popular trucks if I were interested in learning more about it.

Do they think they'll get more back from selling people's data than they'll have lost in sales?

Yes

I see you're describing a case-by-case basis, but I'm still failing to see how it's case-by-case. /s

Enshitification. Private equity buys up everything, squeezes it for all its worth, forces it to lose all its customers, and then sells off all remaining physical assets (land, buildings).

Look behind the downfall of most big country wide names and you'll see a private equity firm running this same playbook right around the time they started losing quality.

They think they own most of the guns because they've built a whole culture around it. What they don't realize is there are plenty of non-Rs who own guns too as a hobby or protection, but their whole identity isn't "I'm a gun owner" so they don't go around hoopin' and hollarin' that they own guns.

Agreed. I thought the movie was a great addition to the Mad Max films. As others have pointed out, some of the CGI was lacking, but other than that it was extremely enjoyable and well paced.

I don't know about PS2 HDMI, but they do make composite to HDMI converters

I'll be dead. They can have all of that.
