  • Tragic Titan submersible’s $62 SanDisk memory card found undamaged at wreckage site

  • The kid that was killed didn’t want to be there. He was terrified. He only went because rich daddy insisted & paid for him to come along. That’s tragic.

  • JP Morgan staff told they must share biometric data to access headquarters

    Jump

  • Biometrics are not usernames. They are physical identifiers and unlike usernames you can’t change them.

    I used to work in a datacenter that required you to go through a mantrap to access. It required three things:

    1. Something you have (a card key)
    2. Something you know (a PIN)
    3. Something you are (biometrics)

    To get to the datacenter floor you use a card key to open the door to the mantrap. It’s a small vestibule about the size of a phone booth. Once inside the door closes. You then enter your PIN on a keypad and place your hand on a biometric scanner. Once your hand is recognized the inner door opens and lets you into the datacenter. I was told the mantrap also weighed you and compared that with previous trips through to make sure somebody else didn’t sneak through with you.

  • Trump only really wanted to win the Nobel Peace Prize for one reason: Obama

  • Personally I approve of any publicity that calls out Trump as a loser.

  • But they didn't tell bozo, apparently.

    Since when do billionaires listen to anybody other than the sycophants they surround themselves with?

  • By April of 2007 I had completely burned myself out working for my third tech startup in the Boston area. By the end of April I was in New Zealand followed by Australia on a month+ long solo trip to unwind and recover from the burnout.

  • U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after

  • Our house is still powered by the panels and/or battery as well. We typically use 1 to 5 kWh, and during these events the batteries are discharging up to 10 kWh. Whatever we don’t use goes to the grid. Last year we received a payout of $1450 for 45 hours worth of energy, probably in the neighborhood of 300-350 kWh.

  • Even home battery solutions. We have solar panels & a Powerwall. Were part of a Virtual Power Plant along with around 1500 other Powerwall owners in the region. During peak usage in the summer all our PowerWalls feed back to the grid so that our utility provider doesn’t have to spin up expensive (and dirty) peaker plants. We get paid a premium for the power we provide during these events.

    I saw articles here on Lemmy just a month or two ago that Tesla successfully tested a VPP in California that consisted of 100,000 PowerWalls.

  • California police stumped after trying to ticket driverless car for illegal U-turn

  • That level of effort is way above the pay grade of a typical beat cop.

  • “Life was filled with guns and war,” the song begins, “and everyone got trampled on the floor. I wish we’d all been ready.”

    Wow, sounds like we’re already living it today…

  • Tesla coast-to-coast FSD crashes after 60 miles

    Jump

  • Simply linking the cars wouldn’t be enough to address an issue like this though. They still need to individually recognize something like the debris this car ran over and deal with it appropriately.

    If cars are linked to share data like this then I can easily see a scenario where one model of car with really good sensors sends a warning saying “hey, there’s road debris here”. But subsequent cars still need to be able to see it and avoid it as well. If the sensors in a following car aren’t as good as the sensors in the first car then that second car could still strike it.

    Debris doesn’t remain stationary. Each vehicle that hits it will move it, possibly break it into multiple pieces, etc. And eventually, either through that process or by a person moving it, it will cease being a hazard.

  • [White House] Designating Antifa as a Domestic Terrorist Organization

  • So everybody who fought in WWII is now classified as a terrorist since they were fighting fa(cism).

  • Supporting the future of the open web: Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy

    Jump

  • Exactly. My employer uses Akamai, which is larger than Cloudflare. Akamai provides the ability to block traffic from Tor, traffic from VPNs, traffic from any countries you desire, and so on. They also provide managed lists of countries listed in things like ITAR so you can easily block them if you want.

  • Trump is reportedly planning to put an end to all those prescription drug ads on TV, basically reinstating a ban that was rescinded in the 1990’s. I could get behind that.
