Yeah, I don't really see why that's the default setting, to save the image in mirrored form; though it's clear why it's displayed that way when 'live'.

I suspect it was considered less likely to generate complaints from confused users. Anyone who understands what's going on can change the setting.

So, they mean "more affordable" precisely in the George Orwell Ministry of Truth "chocolate ration will be increased to 20 grammes a week [from 30]" sense

It's missing situational awareness.

"Fall down right here on butt" should be strongly preferred to "Stagger backwards into cross traffic in a desperate and clearly futile attempt to regain balance".
Could have caused an accident and hurt somebody.

Seems fair to say that any news org "settling" one of his garbage suits is, in effect, giving in to simple extortion in plain view; and laundering the payment through the civil justice system.

But Dear Leader says it's already much better than anyone's ever seen right now. Did this guy not get the memo?

That seems like a "big enough boat" problem. There have to be big enough boats.
But maybe also an insane length of chain, since the BEB may not be able to get close.

What about "You can't take the sky from me"?

The crows on top of the machine are providing "protection", and only charge a fair % of what the other crows get out the machine

Then they stand up in Congress and yell at scientists, "people don't trust scientists! Why do you think that it is?"

I'm waiting for someone to answer, "Well, mostly, it's because too many of those people are believing your lies."

"Hmm... then tell me, are you under any other orders from the DAG's office not to disclose the existence of any other specific things?"

Roger Ramjet did it 60 years ago. But they were evil, incompetent robots from outer space

60 year *old

This 60-year concept has been more recently shown to be quite feasible.

Except for stairs, I guess

Thanks, I saw a yt video on the CRZ, pretty cool.

But... you're driving around clutching and shifting your gears and, and there's still a ghost in the machine deciding when to power boost and when to draw off some power for charging.
And I presume it means there's no "engine off" at low speeds?
