Part of the issue is that speeds are set nonsensically here and in certain areas they’ll literally be set to randomly drop on a small section of road solely for the purpose of giving out speeding tickets.

They’re super special electrostatic headphones, so they have to be run with a special type of amplifier, and the one they come with come is absolutely insane, and is a huge part of the cost. Honestly, I bet you could cost cut the whole thing down to under $20k, but you’re paying a LOT of money for stuff like the fact that the amplifier case is made of marble and has one of the coolest boot sequences imaginable, where all the tubes and knobs rise out of it and retract back in so the whole thing is seamless. It’s very much one of those things that get built when engineers are handed a blank check and told “We don’t care what it costs, have fun”

I’m curious as to what makes it so nice? My gut reaction is to say “It’s literally a rod of metal with some checkering”, but I’ve been in enough hobbies to know that there are some very fine details that make a world of difference.

And yet Grindr never manages to filter out all the bots with “0NLYFANS” in their bios

It honestly blows my mind how these “leaders” get paid billions of dollars to run their companies into the ground because they have no fucking clue how real humans operate.

It absolutely does. Typically, all 4 wheel speed sensors are polled and averaged, so unless you’re doing lots of extended 4 wheel burnouts, you’re talking an incredibly small margin of additional error.

At a minimum they went along with it. “I was just following orders” is never an acceptable answer.
