These are big announcements! Only 3 problems: 1. Timelines were very vague, even for Tesla. Meanwhile price estimates are very hard to trust too, given their history. 2. Four of Tesla's direct reports to Elon Musk, including the Chief Information Officer and the global vehicle automation and safety policy lead, resigned before Tesla's robotaxi event. Several of these people worked for a decade or more at Tesla. 3. Tesla stock fell ~8% immediately after the event (though before the market opened, so we’ll see). Seems like the promises are a little too vague for investors. 4. Elon clearly pitched autonomy as the killer of public transport, even saying for example that a bus costs a city $1/km to operate, while a Cybercab would cost $0.2. This should sound some alarm bells. He has now admitted publicly that Hyperloop was a fake he announced specifically to undercut support for public high speed rail development in the US, even though he had no intention of ever building it. Any claims against public projects should be seen as a having exceptionally high likelihoods of distortion. For example he hasn’t explained where his numbers came from and he specifically chose buses when they are by far the most costly public transport type vs. trams, subways, etc. 401
Point 4 is further reinforced by the presentation running in the background, where amongst claims on normal cars "not safe, not sustainable, costs to much" these claims were extended to public transport with the example of trains.
I would be cautious to even buy a Surface PC also. None of their devices have any advantage over other OEMs and in a lot of cases have caused more Windows issues than most pc makers. This is based on a Surface Pro buyer myself since the original Surface, who's bought every other iteration up to the Surface Pro 9. I'm hesitant to buy their next Snapdragon Elite 2 Surface Pro if they even make a Surface pro 12 since their WOA still feels lacking. It would be best they move over to these new Lunar Lake intel chips in their devices because WOA seems like a secondary operating system that will never gain any traction.
Exactly! I encourage more people to look up surface pros bricking from flat out broken updates Microsoft puts out, how anyone still trusts that company amazes me
personally i believed the surface duo had a lot of potential and a lot of reviewers and microsoft didn't give it justice, people were talking too much about it being a phone replacement, in my opinion the surface duo is meant to be more of a note taking focused tablet, almost an ipad mini killer, the camera quality doesn't matter, it's not the point of the device, it doesn't need a camera bump, and the initial launch price never helped, they were discounted heavily later on, usually halved in price but man im so upset that i will never get to see the surface neo or anything similar because panos left the company (finally i can comment early lol)
i have a 2017 surface pro that needs a new battery... but, that would require a complete dissassembly of every component.. its basically disposable .. i have a sony vaio from 2007 that i still use as a music server
MSFT corporate culture always viewed hardware as a sideshow. MSFT always outsourced its h/ware manufacturing because anything logistical is too complicated, and costs too much of a time. If the h/ware did not support some Redmond software product, making the software work better, then any h/ware would eventually be end of life'ed.
PS ... I worked in Redmond for 15 years, so I had a front-row seat at all sorts of things like Nokia, Band, I still have my WinRT they gave us for free, ... and the all-time winner --->> ZUNE!
@@AR-rg2en Yeah Steve Balmer for example admitted screwing up on microsoft's lack of success with windows phones and gamers are aware of their lack of attempts at making a handheld console plus Zune not being that successful in the MP3 player market
@@cryptocsguy9282 Why go far, even with their successful products, they don't push further. Ex. Xbox, Surface, Hololens. I blame Satya Nadella, but he saved the company so in his view his strat works. The problems may arise long term when consumer products like Windows lose their market dominance among the average consumer.
Microsoft is currently proving that we should all buy Macs, as windows is basically now nagware with adverts, with the relentless push to use MS browsers, search engines, and now their AI spyware. Oh and you have around 12 months to upgrade your PC even if it's running a $1000 Threadripper CPU, or the system is vulnerable. I've come up with a novel solution - Remove windows 11 from it, install windows 10, turn it into a render node and then get Mac hardware as I need Adobe. I'll also need to buy elderly family another computer as the all in one I bought them a couple of years back has no TPM, so they will be getting a mac from me as well. MS really have blown it, they have taken users for granted and think they can put out garbage half finished OS's time after time, and now turning computers into paperweights. I won't ever make the mistake of building a powerful Windows workstation ever again, it's no longer the case that you can use it until you want to upgrade it, now Microsoft in cahoots with hardware manufacturers think they decide when I upgrade. They've got another think coming.
Microsoft Duo was attempting to convince you that you should not agonize over the folding seam but enjoy two screens side by side. MS does not even consider helping or pleasing the user because, well, the users are there to be used.
See this is why google and samsung added the App Blocker and turn it on by default, to stop most users from actually using those third party app stores.
Macbook leak is probably fake, because why product which was not even launched officially would be already packed for sale and shipped somewhere? If it's some sort of engineering sample, than probably it could've been stolen from manufacturer, but again - why it is inside of a sealed retail box?
I still can't forgive Microsoft for killing Windows Phone. I used Lumia 1020... One of best keyboard, fast and overall really good phone for normal user. Still sad about it.
5:29 Talking about being able to buy those MediaTek phones, does anybody know if it will be possible to buy BBK Group phones in Germany in the next months? I read there is a new problem with patents... but the leaks about the new Oppos (X8 Series) and OnePlus 13 and Vivo X200 Pro sound very exciting...
