It’s not for going between 568A and B, it’s just terminated that way. What is flipped is the transmit and receive pins. It’s used in equipment that can’t auto-mdix, if you need to connect two ports or two interfaces. Like interface on a NIC with a router, or ports on two switches/hubs.

VW id3, maybe the whole id series, has this bullshit. I test drove the id3 a couple of months ago. Buttons in the wheel are touch, but you can push them as well which feels clunky. rant warning! Giant freaking screen that got mad at me for trying to adjust the ac while driving (supposedly I tap it too fast, and got a time-out). Stupid LEDs under the windshield that tries to communicate stuff by lightning up in either side or move across and shit, that was really confusing. It even had mood lighting. Wtf, in a car?!? Putting the car in sports mode, to get an idea of how it can drain the battery on the motorway, changed the mood from blue to red.

Stupidest fucking car I’ve ever driven. Went with a fully optioned zoe instead. 5k€ less for the same year, and actual buttons for stuff. Although I’d like to meet the engineer, who thought sticking buttons behind the wheel where they’re hidden, was a good idea.

This is what I was thinking about myself. Because we’re cool with political caricatures, right?

I guess the problem is that nobody wants to feature in non-consensual AI porn. I mean if you’d want to draw me getting shafted by Musk, that’d be weird, but a highly realistic video of the same event, that would be hard to explain to the missus.
