workerONE@lemmy.worldto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Forget Netflix, Volkswagen locks horsepower behind paid subscription51·12 days agoYou can damage a car with bad tuning but that’s not what he’s saying. I think the manufacturer will create an ECU map that delivers safe power, and then they will create a map with less power and then deliver the car with the underperforming map. Then, when you pay, they change to the map with higher performance.
workerONE@lemmy.worldto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Forget Netflix, Volkswagen locks horsepower behind paid subscription2·12 days agoThey will probably just switch ECU maps when you pay their subscription, or they’ll have a similar way to perform the same function. Using the accelerator more creates more wear too.

Gerrymandering is common in the United States1·21 days agoRight, but without districts you could have ranked choice voting so the farmers in central California can vote for candidates that they want to represent them and all of their votes should be able to elect those candidates. Meanwhile, people who vote in other regions should have enough votes to elect candidates of their choosing.

Gerrymandering is common in the United States3·22 days agoFrom reading the comments of others I’ll say it seems like I’m pretty uninformed about how the actual process works. But what i meant was that if there are 6 electoral votes and each candidate wins 50% if the votes in the state then they both get 3 electrical votes. If there are 8 electoral votes and someone wins 27% if the vote they get 2 votes, not all or nothing

Gerrymandering is common in the United States7·22 days agoGood point but for presidential elections, electrical districts don’t make any sense. You could just use the total votes for the whole state to allocate electoral votes. Also, if the districts are being manipulated to provide a skewed election result then are the districts really groups of people with similar needs?
