To me "tech product enthusiasts" conjures up the image of mindless consumers of pointless gadgets and those who market to them. People who have sold out long ago. At least they still have their Wifi kettles to keep them warm at night.
Nuclear power is great in theory, not so great when actual humans start implementing it. A bit like communism, capitalism or any other pie-in-the-sky utopianism. That's basically what nuclear power is. A theoretical ideal not suitable for the real world.
You're right. Other manufacturers are equally guilty. Where you're wrong is in stating that Volkswagen knew nothing about the defeat device. Clearly parts of VW knew, and if management didn't it was willful ignorance. That's the kind of sophistry that makes me suspicious of your motives.
I'm glad at least one manufacturer is being punished for their transgressions. It's a start.
Civilization isn't a thing, it's an ongoing process. The people who build civilization are all around you. Just because you don't contribute doesn't mean that the rest of us are slacking off. It means that you're a selfish prick.
Your post doesn't have the hallmarks of a regular troll, your reasoning is both well-worded and a lie. VW doesn't have the cult following of fanboys that certain elecronic products enjoy... I'm beginning to suspect that VW is actually hiring these shills to clean up their reputation.
I think the problem with this world is people wanting everything to be fixed for them by a pill, a service, an app or a politician.
Take responsibility for your own life and good health. Fix broken stuff. Cook your own food. Keep learning. Don't rely on external factors to fix your broken life and bad habits. Now help others to do the same.
(Add a blurry Instagram photo for a background and we're done.)
Has anybody ever examined how successful strategic voting is in practice? Because as far as I can tell as a layman who watches the news from around the world, it usually seems to backfire. I'd like to see some hard data either way.
The main problem is allowing anonymous posters. There are good reasons for allowing this, and many ACs like yourself post well thought out comments. I don't know the solution to this. Perhaps having AC comments start at -1 (or a new -2 score only visible to active mods?)
And then outright banning the hate filled dumbfucks.

Most crypto exchanges are located outside of the US. "They" have no jurisdiction there.
Man, they even want my location (on a desktop) just to visit their help page.
Fuck Uber.

Speak for yourself Anon.
I'm amazing.
Why bother?
Invent a robot to program and maintain the machines and we can get rid of the last of the pesky humans.
So in one sentence you complain about projecting pre-existing biases, and in the next you start making wild guesses based on stereotypes.

For those of us not up to speed with bronze-age economics, how many goats is that?

Tell us AC, how much do you get paid per post?
Sounds like junkie talk to me. Face it. You're addicted.
I'm not sure that the UK is the best example to choose from.
Not having a Facebook account is the new not having a television.
So in your twisted little mind Godwin's law is a Shield of Impunity for Neo-Nazis?
That says more about you than about anyone else in this discussion.
Now go fuck yourself.
Apple joins the Open Source Hardware Association.
Lets see if the hackers get harsher punishments than Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini.
Yeah. Spoiled rich kids blindly running into of traffic.
Thorium is an alpha emitter, but it has a couple of beta emitters in its decay chain so real thorium samples will emit both alpha and beta radiation.
I'm glad that nature strictly adheres to health and safety guidelines.
In most places anyway.
The best treatment is a change of diet, but many people literally rather die than eat a sprig of broccoli.
In that case I have some bad news for you...
But seriously, get used to drinking water and/or tea.
