@Codie_Sanchez $250k/yr is probably already what said Ivy grads think the average plumber makes and will likely happily pay for their services so that they donโt have to do it themselves, so I doubt the body language shown in the media embedded in the tweet aligns with the subjectsโ sentiments
BMW has angered customers by sending ads for the new Spider-Man movie directly to in-car infotainment systems. An ad appears as a notification when starting the car, and when tapped, it plays a full-screen 19-second video.
In response to complaints, BMW said it's "not an ad" and is "part of a broader brand partnership with the film."
BMW's original press release said: "To celebrate the partnership with Spider-Man: Brand New Day, BMW has a special surprise for its drivers. Starting the car brings up a special banner in the Control Display."
Cars built after July 2020 with BMW Operating System 7 or newer are displaying the Spider-Man promo in more than 70 markets. Sure sounds like an ad to me ๐
@pitdesi This is a cooler ad than the stuff BMW drivers have been getting for ages for Sirius subscriptions, adding digital features, going to the local dealership for some tire special, etc. People go out pf their way intentionally to watch movie trailers
@GergelyOrosz I am hoping this is still viewable on my car when I get back from vacation since I havenโt had the chance to watch it yet
A movie trailer wonโt be harder to recover from than when them testing heated seats subscriptions
Sure, going against expectations they set = bad, but w/e
@girlsreallyrule Wait, this is recent? Like, 40 years ago recent? I've never known it any other way and thought just an apostrophe in the singular case for such nouns was simply being tolerated due to popular misuse, along the lines of living with the phrase "I'm good."
@tamarawinter these replies are something else
I avoid asking about work in social situations, have friends who I had no clue what they do for work for years, yet have no animosity toward people asking
a simple, "actually, instead of my work, let me tell you about..." usually does wonders
I am incredibly proud of what our small team at Switch Semiconductor has accomplished with the SW2001. We have real-world silicon results that show we beat the direct pin for pin competing part from the huge global semiconductor brands!
