This parallels the height of GM, when they put money in everything from satellites to ATMs. Sure, at the time there was plenty of money to dump on such ventures. But eventually, those bad bets caught up to them. It seemed like a "no big deal" when a hugely profitable company wasted billions of dollars on bad investments. But each one of those bad investments represented a lost opportunity for a good investment. Eventually, the cash cow at GM ended, and the company is left with nothing but huge debts and worthless investments. Any tech company that is just buying the equivalence of lottery tickets is probably destined for failure too, no matter how profitable it is right now.

I've come to realize that many a tech company are ran by morons.
You're missing the part about time. There is nothing that can be done in time to stop the problem. We've already tried everything that could actually work in a short amount of time. Geoengineering is the only thing left.
The rest of your argument is a strawman argument. There's nothing to defend there.
Then you are simply not aware of the situation. We have “tried everything else.” It has basically failed already. There is no chance we can stop emissions in the timeframe desired. Geoengineering is already the only possibility.
That's USB4 v2.0, not USB4. It's not the same thing.
And what are the consequences of failing to deal with climate change? At some point, the option becomes unavoidable.
The only solution that can happen in the timeframe desired is geoengineering. Everything else is going to take multiple decades at least.
People need to start accepting the necessity of geoengineering. Net zero by 2050 is a pure fantasy.
This the real truth. Anyone can make a BEV. It implies nothing when someone does. European car makers can do so if they wanted to. The problem is that people don't want BEVs. They're just too expensive and limiting.
Because it is a car-shaped airplane. It is a terrible airplane however, while also being a terrible car on top of that.
Tech has become a scam in many areas. It's just doing the same thing as it always has been, just with an abusive corporate master. The goal is to scam the investor into funding bad ideas, or use that funding to undercut the competition. It is rarely about innovation anymore.
Everyone with a brain has left Xitter.
