  • It’s Looking Like the Cybertruck Is the Biggest Flop in Automotive History

  • Yeah, I hadn't seen one drive by slowly in a quiet area before, so this is the first time I noticed it, but it sure sounded like the boots and/or joints were already toast on a 2-to-4 year-old truck, which is insane.

  • When your vehicle outlives its cloud: What happens next?

    Jump

  • That's exactly what I use remote start for. Just leave your car set to 68 or whatever and then when you remote start it will come up or down to temp. Even on my cheapass Chevy that's 10 years old I can remote start it (including the HVAC) and also hold the "unlock" to start the defroster. Now I can't actually change the temp the system is set at without getting in the car, thats true, but that's a real edge case for me when I can just leave it set at room temp pretty much year round. Even the seats and steering wheel will heat up if I left that on beforehand. But maybe you do have a real need to tweak the temp and A/C values on the daily where you live, rather than just have the car resume where you left it at, I wouldn't know.

  • no, I think he was RIPPED and perhaps BLISTERED

  • All things that have worked just fine on cars for like at least a decade before the internet was ever invented. You are describing the exact functions of a key fob. They can even open the truck without the Internet!

  • Not sure why you think Google would exploit your navigation data but Porsche wouldn't. I guarantee both are finding ways to make a profit by bundling and selling the enormous amounts of data users are feeding back to them by using their systems.

  • McConnell faces growing questions about absence nearly six weeks after fall

  • If he's not dead dead, which admittedly seems like it would hard to keep secret for a month and a half, it seems pretty likely that he knows he isn't fit to serve and is simply waiting on announcing that until it's too late for the people of Kentucky to have a say about his successor. Which would, as many have noted, be a perfect way for this ghoul to end his career, fucking over his constituents one last time on his way out the door.

  • One of these drove by me the other day in a parking lot and it was just squeaking and creaking in a way you'd expect a 30 year old vehicle to sound, the thing is basically a half-finished prototype that I guess Musk just got sick of trying to make actually good because he knows that his cult chuds buying these things couldn't give a fuck if they are built properly or not.

  • GrapheneOS duress PIN could land a man in prison

    Jump

  • well they have the "border search exception" so at the border, no, they generally do not need a warrant for "routine searches" of electronic devices. Fucked up, but that is the law on the books and US courts have virtually always upheld it when it comes up.

  • GrapheneOS duress PIN could land a man in prison

    Jump

  • My understanding is you can't actually be forced (legally) to give up your phone's PIN or password as part of a police search, because it violates the 5th amendment against self-incrimination, even at the border. Now will they still find a way to fuck up your day if you refuse to unlock your phone, sure, but I feel like saying "I have a right under the 5th Amendment to not reveal my password" is going to be a lot easier to defend than "I intentionally wiped/locked/bricked my phone when you asked to look through it."

  • Look up the curve of the density of energy storage for batteries the last 20-ish years and then honestly tell me this isn't a technology issue in the midst of being addressed.

  • It’s Looking Like the Cybertruck Is the Biggest Flop in Automotive History

    Jump

  • Correct, but now consider how much time and money has been spent over the decades on making sure that "trucks can do truck stuff" for combustion vs. electric drives. "it's much harder" is true only in the context that thousands of years of engineering time have already been poured into diesel and gas trucks, and only a tiny fraction of that has yet been dedicated to electric. So it's not "much harder" it just "hasn't been funded yet at the level that the oil industry has provided combustion vehicles for nearly 100 years".

  • Trump Needs to See Me in Miami': Leaked Andrew Tate Texts Expose Deep Ties to Trump White House

  • Oh my golly g, the right wing grifters talk to eachother and ask eachother favors? Blow me over with a fucking feather and then wake me up when anyone at all gets actual time for this.

  • Generative AI Is an Engineering Disaster. A shockingly inefficient trillion-dollar project.

  • Its just a ball rolling down a hill trying to find the lowest point, but its like a super fancy ball with a ton of rules, and the hills are really detailed with like little walls and bridges and stuff.

  • Apple M7 Ultra Chip Planned With Up to 1.5 TB of Unified Memory

  • There's going to be a massive boom in local llms if we get there. Already I have replaced ~80% of my paid token usage with a small local model running on my 64gb macbook pro, but being able to run a full-fidelity multi-hundred-billion parameter llm locally would be a game changer for my use case at least.

  • Federal Judge Nullifies Trump’s Entire January 6 Slush Fund

    Jump

  • absolutely, judges have every right to sanction and refer to the Bar attorneys that don't live up to the code of professional ethics. I understand why most judges most of the time are loath to do this, but lawyers are supposed to have actual hard ethical obligations as officers of the Court to NOT act in the way these ones did.

  • I still lurk on reddit but I figure with an adblocker on all I'm really doing is costing them bandwidth and lowering the revenue-per-user that they get to report to their investors. Plus r/conservative is the single best place I've found on the internet to keep track of the specific swirling toilet bowl known as right-wing 'culture'

  • If pieces of a haunted house are all replaced ship of Theseus style, would the ghosts go away?

    Jump

  • With the caveat that this is all make-believe, it seems like your typical ghost is anchored to a location, not some specific piece of wood or plaster within that location that could be replaced thus "removing" the ghost. They are well known for passing through physical matter as if it weren't there, so the idea that they would be somehow pegged to a specific piece of physical matter doesn't seem right. Ghosts are also known for haunting things are newly built on the site of old haunted houses or graveyards, which also points to not being able to dissolve ghosts simply by destroying or altering the physical area around the site of the haunting. Thanks for coming to my lecture lol.
