Your potential customers will not enter your sales funnel with this kind of strange and misshapen noise happening about your products.
Twitter doesnt seem to be doing the latter.
That design is likely the only one that would really work with a "change the battery chemistry" option. All other electronic vehicles seem to use the battery ad the base of the car in a sled design, so updating the battery would be a 10k kind of affair, if possible.
Apparently their sotesre even has "Strike" listed as a reason for non delivery, option N:
There is a newer protocol called "matter" that a lot of big names have gotten behind. These devices are slowly rolling out, but id check for matter compatibility with any hub at this point.
As for the hubs, use open source that are not cloud based. The largest and most active project is called Home assistant. Its robust, has good options to build it yourself or buy devices, and it's dedicated to being forever FOSS. Another hub in the same "local, FOSS" ethos is called Hubitat. Their UI/hardware was easier than home assitant for a long time, but not really anymore. I still consider them more "turnkey" but both systems work great and support literally thousands of devices.
That's a 4.7x increase, which is close enough to 6x in colloquial conversation to convey the same point.
Nope, still very visible to the world.
Some random chargers being vandalized isn't really indicative of anything.
The things they do get covered up, or are behind closed doors because they can afford to close those doors.
Wealth does not buy you impulse control, at all. The exact opposite, actually, as every whim can be met.
When the corrective mechanism is nearly impossible to invoke, it doesnt really matter who wants what.
He also publicly promised severance to all employees he laid off, when laying them off, then tried to back out of it after the fact.
So we have both contract law and public statements that he owes severance to thousands of people, and now is just refusing to pay. What kind of behavior is that?
The irony for a lot of the prepper community is that the most efficient "off grid" social structure is concept that they strongly oppose, the commune. A small community working together for a common good in a shared space.
A casihiers check debits the money from you account on issue. As soon as the bank gives you the check, the money is out of your account. A cashiers check cannot bounce for this reason. Its why it or a wore transfer are the required payment type for large purchases of this type.
Email accounts have waaaaayy more information about you than a public social media account. I can find out your private thoughts, the things you buy, who you owe money too, your social graph, tons and tons of data. I can find out way more about than from some comments on a nerd forum.
Microsoft used it like a scalpel and a hammer for decades.
There would be zero lines to charge, at all.
Visual a bus that picks you up at its regular stops, but when it enters the highway of uses a long stretch of overhead wire to use nil battery.
You get the benefits of scale and flexibility of a bus, but at a reduced cost than train infrastructure while still moving many, many more people than a car.
You can see this in our easily manipulated and poorly deployed voting system, our poor response to the current pandemic, our limited and overly expensive healthcare, on and on.
Its doubtful the truck driver was an employee of bird, but its also likely they were only moving the scooters because of this model. That sounds like enough of a reason to add them to the suit that will also likely hit the driver.
If you are about to do the same workout that causes the above, its a good idea to imbide them beforehand instead.
Individually, none of the above would stop this kind of breach. Altogether, and it might be enough. You amply defense in depth
