    You're so young that by the time it really impacts you, the landscape will be drastically different, and in your lifetime you'll probably see car ownership as a norm end entirely. I'm not entirely sure why you'd be preparing financially for things like that at age 15 anyway. Worry about it when you're ready to buy.
     
    Something that's software based makes sense for a subscription based service. I see absolutely no problem with this. The ability to have it or not is a massive advantage over having to go purchase a vehicle that does or doesn't have it, should you decide later on that you do want it. It's like Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Cars without it can be a pain to have it retrofitted into, if it's possible at all.
     
    It really all comes down to price.
    It makes more sense to have everything installed on the vehicle and then activate what's purchased, both from a manufacturing aspect, and an available unit aspect. If you have a lot of options, and not every vehicle has them, it's much, much harder to source the appropriate inventory for every buyer. If someone wants 8/15 options, and that particular vehicle isn't available, you can lose the sale. Having it so every vehicle is a potential match save for color, and you're a lot better off.
    Something they should probably be able to do anyway, no?
    Some smaller aircraft are already getting something very similar to FSD where they will plan a route, communicate intentions with different ATCs, and land all on their own during an emergency. It's only a matter of time before pilots literally do nothing but sit there.
    I mean, technically you wouldn't be driving...
    But most places have no open liquor in a motor vehicle laws.
    I'd think the initial costs of the vehicle would be higher until people got used to the model, but having a lower entry price would be what they'd probably go for. I'm all for subscription services for software based things, like CarPlay, since you might not need both. Same with heated/cooled seats, as you rarely need both. It really comes down to costs. If it's $5/month for heated or cooled seats, I think it'd make more than enough sense to go with a subscription based model, since options like that are usually quite expensive.
    I haven't seen the FSD even in videos, but I hope it's miles better than the auto pilot; from what I've seen and read, GM's autopilot is actually considerably better than Tesla's. You wouldn't (shouldn't) need FSD to park though, that's a feature on many, many other vehicles already.
     
    Even at $200, depending on it's level of autonomy, isn't a bad price. Consider how much it'd cost for a chauffeur.
     
    Retrofitting heated seats actually isn't that expensive. It's just a pad, switch, and some wiring. Eventually, having 2 models (one luxury, one base) and having all features on both would likely make a lot more sense, and I think would come with savings you were hinting at. Not necessarily with BOM (bill of manufacturing) costs, but also with not having vehicles sit on lots and not sell because they didn't have the exact feature set the buyer wanted.
    Streaming, if you listened to music at an even moderate rate, is significantly cheaper than buying albums.
    That wouldn't really make any sense.
    Agreed, this is something that a lot of people overlook. Having only one model greatly reduces complexity.
    One has to wonder how long it'll be until you can actually have a base platform you can upgrade over time without requiring new hardware; sensor tech etc is still advancing pretty rapidly.
    Not everything is inflated, and that might be something more related to your region of the world. It's not something that's common in NA, at least.
    It's not, though. The Model 3 is significantly cheaper. It'd be quite something for them to charge you for an oil filter....considering it doesn't use one
    How would that work for housing?
    Really? Where have they been touting paying for emergency services like that? The costs would be astronomical and it really wouldn't work at all.
    You're kind of moving the goal posts of your argument though, aren't you? Having to replace the oil in an electric motor is drastically different than having to do regular oil changes. It's not a regular maintenance item.

    Flavio hc 16 reacted to D13H4RD in UPDATE: NVIDIA backtracks - Hardware Unboxed blacklisted from receiving GeForce FE review samples over “focus on rasterization over ray-tracing”   
    I mentioned this before on someone’s status update here and on the Discord.
     
    But what I think will happen is someone else from NVIDIA (likely higher in the exec chain) contacts HUB privately and goes along the lines of “kk sorry”, then everything goes back to the way it was before......then it all happens again. Rinse and repeat.
     
    At this point, I really shouldn’t be surprised.

    Zen1 was on par with Skylake on IPC front. Zen 2 brought such IPC uplift and Zen 3 another up to 19%. Intel's only saving grace is their stupid high clocks, really. They just feel like they are in absolute panic mode and every meeting ends with "lets just raise the clock some more". Where AMD just keeps smacking 20% IPC boosts with every major Zen iteration. I wonder what will Zen 4 bring. If they can pull 5GHz and also another big IPC uplift, they'll be unstoppable.

    This rumour has been bouncing around for a while - that the top 11th gen chip will only have 8 cores. Probably has to do with the backported Willow Cove architecture they're using for Rocket Lake - those cores are likely significantly bigger (transistor count wise) than their Skylake++++++ cousins. That new architecture will hopefully result in far higher IPC gains than we've seen from them recently, but of course the 14nm-based node won't help that at all.
     
    My question - if this is all true - is will there be any point in buying the i9 if it has the same thread count? or will it be the prime candidate for the 2021 GN Disappointment PC? Given the situation they're in at this point, I wouldn't blame Intel for pulling a Radeon and giving up on even trying to go for the performance crown, instead focusing on price/performance with a <$400 8C/16T i7. Maybe claw back some marketshare (and reputation) before coming back swinging when they finally get their manufacturing problems sorted. If and when that ever happens...

    Flavio hc 16 reacted to tim0901 in Wow, it's been seven years already? SK Hynix announces DDR5 in production.   
    Only place I can find them is asking for £3720 apiece, including tax. That's £3100 pre-tax, which works out at about $4000 apiece compared to ~$2000 for a two stick kit. Pretty hefty markup but given the positioning I can't blame them. To the people interested in such a product, I doubt the price tag matters much to them.

    I'm not sure I see the problem. Someone developed an update that improves the performance and is offering it for a price. 
     
    If you don't care about the vroom vroom you don't get the update. If you like the extra .5 seconds for your vehicular peen, you pay and get to brag about it. Tesla gets more money for R&D which could potentially get you a type of update you do like.
     
    How much would a .5 second 0-60mph speed boost cost if it was a petrol car? I'm honestly curious.

    nodes (generally speaking) doesnt cause any IPC increase or decrease unless there is a major "bottleneck" that is relieved or constrained due to a clockspeed change. like how SMT fills CPU time where it would otherwise be "idle".
